things here are just things. i'm enjoying my life and routine in cambridge and the city on a hill. it's all so simple and pure, all instinct and unemotional. work, gym, home, sleep is the routine - it never changes. and it's not exciting at all. i've come to realize that there are times for excitement and there are times for routine. unfortunately this is one for neither.
so nothing of interest has happened between now and then. i've been to the grocery store once and i've had a couple of cups of coffee with the fools studying orgo at au bon pain. also went to my first game at fenway. drank some beer. yep. that's life.
so i lied. something interesting did happen. i'm invited to a conference in south korea in october. in order to do this, i have to write a background paper and then give a talk when i'm there. all of my expenses are paid, though. it's a big honor, i guess. i'm writing an interesting paper (interesting to me, would probably put anyone else to sleep). if you really want to know what it's all about, ask.
still in debt. still no real job. got a freelance project designing a database -- i'll try to milk it for all it's worth. i need cash for groceries.
the good thing about living a boring life is that it's cheap.
