I'm expecting one more thing to happen since bad things happen in 3s.  While I'm grateful that the bad things are crazy and not long lasting (unless my hand falls off), I could have still done without ( Read more... )

So...I heard a loud bang and shrugged because that's what i do. Then, i hear sirens getting closer and think, "ah, shit. It's on our block, isn't it?" So i have to go out and see what's up. With bat and phone in hand, i walk to the corner and see...

a car on fire.

Yes, that's right. A car. On fire.

Way to swing the other way on the temperature scale Boston.  Seriously?  101 degrees?  Unneccessary.

So, it's a bit late in coming, but this winter has sure been a doozy.  Within 30 days we got 60 inches of snow.  Can you freakin believe that?  That's almost as tall as I am!  It actually might have been more than that but I lost track.  It was really crazy.  The snowdrifts were 6 feet tall and hell to navigate.  Apparently, snow has occurred into ( Read more... )

I fell asleep last night so i woke up crazy early to take out the trash and recycling before i had to get ready for my placement.  I heard there was going to be a storm but i figured it wouldn't be until later.  I walk outside, there's this nice covering of snow already and it's steadily heading down.  It looks quite nice.  I walk off the front ( Read more... )

So I had a great November.  Kristi and Rick came to visit the weekend of the 5th and we got to go all over Boston.  They came in on a Friday and Kristi and I got the awesome Chinese food.  Then on Saturday we went to Fanueil Hal and Quincy Market to get clam chowder in a bread bowl from the Walrus and the Carpenter Clam Bar and we also had these ( Read more... )

So, as i'm want to do, i hurt myself by burning the crap out of my hand when i accidentally poured boiling water on it while draining my pasta.  I did learn something neat from this experience though: ice cream helps burns ( Read more... )

So, in food news, i ate 4 peanut butter sandwiches on friday.  It's weird because i don't usually eat peanut butter and i had this weird craving for it.  Luckily i had peanut butter.  Logistically, it worked because i had 1 for breakfast, 2 for lunch (and some really yummy spinach dip thingie), and 1 for dinner (with some pasta or something).

So...I went to Oktoberfest yesterday.  It was exactly like the Fair, but without the rides and with beer.  Not so crazy, but it was alright.  I ate an italian sausage which was amazing, and empanada, strawberry lemonade, and fried dough which is pretty much an elephant ear.  It was interesting.  I didn't have the beer because you had to be ( Read more... )

So...I went out again last night with Kylie and Rhea for an extension of Rhea's birthday.  We went to Landsdown which is this really cool club/bar by Fenway that has cover bands that play.  The band that was there was really good.  Their lead singer was coked out or crazy but they had EXCELLENT taste in music.  They were playing things from ( Read more... )
