benji hughes @ cat’s cradle, originally uploaded by minervacat. Short and sweet, stuff I dug this month: The Black Keys — Brothers: this might just be the dirtiest album released this year. Not a bad track on it, and inevitably the soundtrack to my summer. Utterly unsafe for work, my god, and phenomenal. Good Old…

baseball: va tech @ unc
Twenty six and twenty seven. The Heels sent seniors Ryan Graepel, Mike Cavisinni and Colin Bates (a redshirt junior who graduated in May) off with a resounding series sweep of Virginia Tech this weekend. Bittersweet because we’re still out of the ACC tournament thanks to Georgia Tech failing to get it done in sweeping BC,…

baseball: unc @ duke, game two
baseball: unc @ duke, game two, originally uploaded by minervacat. Twenty five. (Albeit without a new photo, because I went out without a battery in the camera last night, like a complete moron.

west point on the eno, originally uploaded by minervacat. Sometimes I forget just how much wildness is actually contained in and around the Triangle area. I bitch a lot about living in perma-surburbia, but really it’s 15 minutes in any direction to the middle of nowhere. I need to remember that more. Eno River, Durham,…

local 506 rockin’ eve: hammer no more the fingers, originally uploaded by minervacat. “If for one minute you think you’re better than a sixteen year old girl in a Green Day t-shirt, you are sorely mistaken. Remember the first time you went to a show and saw your favorite band. You wore their shirt, and…
