So my last renters didn’t want to use the mattress that was on the bedframe in their room; they brought their own, and we took mine out to the garage. We didn’t get a chance to bring it back up together when they were moving out, and I wanted it back in the room, because (1) it was basically blocking the narrow passageway between cruft piles in ( Read more... )

Howdy! cathijosephine, who is currently living with me, is looking for somebody to rent her Quincy Center studio. Her Craigslist ad (with photos) is at http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/abo/1058139649.html, and here’s the text, since it’s short:$1000 Furnished Studio on Red Line Available Immediately (Quincy Center)

Had a fabulous weekend, much of it spent in the delightful company of plumtreeblossom. Among other things, we went to see The Rimers of Eldritch and it was a really, really good production. The acting was great. It was a very difficult and complex show, and they pulled it off beautifully. Congratulations to desireearmfeldt and her cast and crew. I think I’m going to go ( Read more... )

plumtreeblossom and I just had a wonderful dinner at Terra Brasili’s, a Brazilian barbecue (rodízio) place in Quincy Center. It was so yummy! Ever since the Brazilian barbecue place in Kenmore Square that cathijosephine and I used to go to closed, I’ve been craving it, and I noticed this place before I moved to Quincy, but somehow I never managed to try it before. So glad ( Read more... )

I’ve just had a very fun, busy, and full weekend! Much of it was spent in the company of the delightful plumtreeblossom, with whom I finally saw The Dark Knight on Friday, had a lovely brunch at The Burren on Saturday morning, and went to Quincy’s August Moon festival and had dinner with her at Tú y Yo today (Sunday). We had a wonderful weekend ( Read more... )

Breakfast with my parents silverlibre and ka9sqb, as well as cathijosephine, at a nearby hole-in-the-wall diner. Then came back to the house for a bit. Then my parents and I went off and explored the commercial district near Quincy Center for a while, culminating in a ramble through the 18th-and-early-19th-century cemetery near the T station, before having a late lunch at a ( Read more... )

Wow, busy weekend! Last night was closing night of Festival@First 5, including the one-act that plumtreeblossom directed and surrealestate, wellstar, missmelissa, oakenguy, and brief_life performed in. They all did an incredible job, and it was awesome, and I’m sorry it’s over.

After the performance was strike, which went smoothly, and a great cast party at hahathor’s stunning house. plumtreeblossom and I left early (around 1:30am ( Read more... )

Friday night and yesterday morning, I did more disassembling in my old bedroom. Slowly, slowly making progress. (I’m moved upstairs, but lots of my stuff is still downstairs.)

Yesterday evening, I picked up plumtreeblossom from the T and we both went grocery shopping. She loves coming out to the huge suburban grocery stores. We each got a huge heaping ( Read more... )

My flowers have started to bloom. Here’s one:

Two of the wildflower species in the mix have really taken off and gotten tall where I planted them. (Some others blew elsewhere in the yard and got a foothold there, I believe.) Thanks to plumtreeblossom’s research, I know that they are Cosmos and Coreopsis, and they’ve both gotten over a foot tall - the Cosmos well over ( Read more... )
