i should probably warn for lots of pics, shouldn't i....
it's a gorgeous day and i would like to be out in it except i'm at home doing my laundry because i was too lazy to do it friday and now i'm wearing my last clean pair of underwear - there is no part of that sentence that does not annoy me - and gmail keeps freezing my browser every time i try to delete any email or click any links in said email, which means i keep having to force quit (it did this to firefox and safari and i don't use ie any more and i'm not downloading another broswer so don't suggest i do so), altho i can still read my email, so maybe i shouldn't complain so much.
anyway. i took pictures all day on march 7 for a day in the life, and i never actually posted them because, as i may or may not have mentioned, i'm a lazy-ass. so now you get to see a (comparatively unusual and image-heavy) day in my life.
it was a saturday and i didn't even get out of bed that late, mostly because i had things to do and places to be. and breakfast to eat:
and lj to read, obviously. :D i have a kitchen table, i just never use it to eat at. i use it for all my gluing when i'm making a book.
i just wanted to take a picture of my empty bowl. this will become a theme.
i eventually got dressed and collected my stuff and left the house -
- it was a really nice day - and made my way down to davis square, where people occasionally knit sweaters for the tree in front of the t station:
i waited for the train:
and went to...
bonus pic of the escalator to the street:
and this is harvard square on a saturday in march:
i walked by some of harvard:
to meet gem225 for lunch at bartley's:
which has tasty hamburgers and sweet potato fries:
the tables are kind of small, tho. but the conversation was good. there was almost no line when we got there, but there was quite a wait when we left:
the moral of this part of the story is "go to bartley's at noon and no later". we stopped at the bookstore afterwards:
where gail bought lots of books:
and i bought slightly fewer. (louise erdrich's tales of burning love and elinor lipman's isabel's bed, which gail recommended. i lovelovelove louise erdrich. have i pimped the bingo palace and love medicine yet?) by then it was time for me to meet farwing at the movie theater:
so we could see watchmen:
ignore the fact that my camera can't take close-ups. we also went to million year picnic, my comic store:
which really is that crowded. i took a picture of farwing's bag:
because she painted it and it's pretty cool.
we had dinner at algiers, which is a middle eastern restaurant with a fabulous ceiling:
and sat in front of a really pretty lamp:
and could not finish our hummus, altho it was good:
the pita bread was likewise really tasty. i can't remember what i had for dinner, tho. i think falafel. i was a little over-chickpea'd. we took the t home, which was so exciting i didn't take any pictures (except for the movie ticket), but also i didn't think the rest of the people in the train car would appreciate some stranger taking their picture. i made myself comfy on my couch:
to read lj and watch some late-night tv to wind down with the teeny plastic folding circus chairs i got at the ringling brothers museum in florida last year:
aren't they cute?
and that was my unusually full but very good day.
and after all that typing, my laundry still isn't done. hmph.
