Dayumm. That was a good plan. I moved my trip to August. No cherry blossoms, and I hear it'll be terribly hot. But then again the summer months are the perfect time to go up Mt. Fuji so it's a trade off.
Nonetheless, you owe me big time, cuz

Fenway Park: The Fabled Home of the Red Sox
Fenway Park is the
closest thing that Boston has to the Paris Notre Dame. Well to Bostonians, it’s as
sacred as a Church. At 97 years old this is a central relic to creaky old
Boston. In fact, the playing field grass is so sacred that even employees of
Fenway Park can’t step on it. It’s definitely off-limits to strangers and just
meant for the players during baseball season. Why? Maybe it’s bad juju or
something.
 |
| I could almost hear the chorus screaming 'Sweet Caroline' |
Fenway Park,
America’s oldest major league ballpark is charmingly tucked into the city.
Though it’s quite easy for any traveler to stumble into the sights of Fenway
Park, getting into the games is another matter. Every single baseball game
since 2003 has sold out, good luck on scalping tickets.
But if you really
want a glimpse of Fenway from the inside, you can opt for a tour during off
season for $12. You get the whole historical tour and watch footages of old
games complete with a thick Boston accent voice over.

| Fenway Park ~ Home of the Boston Red Sox! Just can''t stop myself for saying it out loud |
Boston Red Sox fans
are the extreme lot. And that Jimmy Falon movie with Drew Barrymore should get
aired on the History Channel for authenticity, when it comes to Fenway Park and
the Fan culture surrounding the games. The fans even build replica Fenway Park
hats and do some seriously fan-shit just to psyche the other team out. But
don’t leave Fenway without trying out the Sausage King, an Italian sausage food
cart parked outside Fenway’s Gate E.

Lunacasino Offers Texas-style Online Casino Poker
Play Hold ‘Em—Lunacasino’s offering of the Texan version of poker today!
Hold your horses! An age old classic version of poker is now offered by Lunacasino! Called Hold ‘Em, this exciting card game is patterned after Texas Hold ‘Em, one of the many iterations of the classic game.
The origins of Texas Hold ‘Em is vague and as clear as muddy water, but one thing experts have agreed upon is its origin, which is of course, Texas—Robstown Texas, 1900, in particular. The game hit mainstream when Amarillo Slim, Doyle Brunson and Crandell Addington sauntered their way into the casino realm in 1967 the way gunslingers do in dingy, smoky, dangerous saloons, Texas Hold ‘Em in hand.
According to Addington, he first witnessed the game being played in 1959—at the time, it was called Hold ‘Em, but Addington decided to give it a piece of Texan branding and added the “Texas” prefix.
“They didn't call it Texas hold 'em at the time, they just called it hold 'em.… I thought then that if it were to catch on, it would become the game. Draw poker, you bet only twice; hold 'em, you bet four times. That meant you could play strategically. This was more of a thinking man's game,” said Addington.
The rest, as they say, is history. Texas Hold ‘Em Poker has since then been one of the most played variants of poker. In this version of the game, players attempt to win the pot based on their hand or their prediction of what their opponent’s hands are. Addington was correct in it being a game of cerebral nature—mathematical and psychologically sound deductions and decisions are required for one to win at Texas Hold ‘Em poker. While the goals and strategies are similar to how other poker games are played, you could see that in ‘Hold Em, having four times the bet allows for more moves, expanding the typical poker line like a full blown chess game—a true game of cunning.
Lunacasino offers Texas Hold ‘Em in its selection of games. Find it in the poker category of the Lunacasino site and start the mind games immediately! Expect to feel like you walked into an actual casino and sat down at a real live cards table—with its smooth, crisp graphics and its state of the art sound, experience Hold ‘Em poker like you never have before! Also remember, if you’re a beginner and haven’t played this variant of online casino poker before, you can always go for the free play option to practice with dummy money before you foray into the exciting world of actual betting!
Lunacasino, named after the Roman goddess of the moon was launched in 2012. Licensed by the Lotteries and Gaming Authority Malta, the site is available in 21 languages. Visit the Lunacasino site today and check out its vast selection of poker and video poker games, particularly the Texas-style Hold ‘Em!

Lunacasino: A Casino That Has Come Full Circle
Lunacasino is a slots site that has come full circle since its creation. Now as bright and full as its namesake, Lunacasino will be offering players the most complete gaming experience ever!
It’s not easy finding an online casino site that has a clean interface, easy on the eyes and entertaining these days. Come and think of it, there are over 2000 online gambling and gaming sites on the Internet today, and most of these—due to the ease in procuring the materials available online to create a gambling site—are dead ends; sites of very low quality which can be problematic particularly in cases when it ends up being a fake or fraudulent site.
Players definitely want to find a site that is not only entertaining to play at, but also someplace where they can win legitimately. Most sites will ask new players for an up-front “deposit” and most people will find it hard to trust sites that will be asking for money from the get go. Gamblers already know of the risks of losing money due to probabilities in a game, but losing money to scams and fraud is another story. People definitely want to avoid that. Also, a lot of online sites tend to make their gaming interface confusing, leading to numerous pop up sites and making people end up in sites or pages they had not intended to go to.
Thankfully, players can breathe a huge sigh of relief with the coming of Lunacasino, one of the newest online gaming sites on the Internet. Its initial lure is in the clean lines of its interface, and from the beginning it promises an incentive for first time depositors: up to 2000 Pounds bonus for the first deposit!
Among the other features that Lunacasino boasts is the its unique sets of games and not to mention, new features compared to other sites that just offer the same run of the mill games; some sites in fact just rename games or tweak the colour palette in order to fill their gaming requirements. Whatever Lunacasino offers, may it be—blackjack, roulette, video poker and online slots you’ll be sure to find games that are new and unique and never been seen before.
First timers will be pleased to know that Lunacasino offers gamers with free playing options, allowing players to save their money until they’re truly ready to start playing their games. In these free play games one can practice until one gets a good level of skill before risking real money. But the caveat applies, these free games in Lunacasino will withhold features that will only be available in real gameplay.
Another reason people will want to play on Lunacasino is the software, which is SkillOnNet, one of the leading online gaming solutions ever—one of the proud partners of Lunacasino.
Players will have to download Windows compatible software that will not take much of their drivespace—around 120MB in drivespace.
On the flipside, the program can be easily removed with a normal removal systems in Windows. Once you’re ready to get your game in full circle start by going to the Lunacasino website and start seeing the bright winnings ahead!

i used to live here. no we used to live here.
Seeing the cityscape with fresh eyes. Grew up here and there. Parts of it. Some streets, mean streets, streets you want to forget, streets you want to stay and just linger and say your goodbyes on your own sweet, sweet time. we take away the gravel, scuffing the surface of asphalt with our shoes, making our mark. i am back here again. full circle peeps!
