on wednesday the building where i work had an ice cream social for the whole building, so i basically had ben & jerry's for lunch. and thursday we had ice cream sandwiches in the office. it was a dairy-y couple of days. friday was mostly marked by a lot of technological bullshit. and last night my sister had a birthday dinner for friends (yes, ( Read more... )

a. i had a dentist appointment first thing this morning, which i thought was just a regular cleaning but turned out to be a descaling/deep cleaning, where they stab your gum with a syringe of anesthetic because they're planning to dig around your gum line. not how i wanted to start my morning! especially since it meant half my face was numb for ( Read more... )

today was a much better day. i didn't screw anything up or forget to do anything important, and if i did, no one called me out on it. and my snow boots came! now that the snow is melting and it's not supposed to snow any more in the near future. oh well. at least i have them for the next storm. they're warm and fuzzy and calf-height and ( Read more... )

i just took a cold shower and i'm already dripping with sweat again. ugh. i hate summer.

tomorrow i get out of work early and then there are fireworks in the field across the street from my house. also, funnel cake. :D

this morning i ran into corruptviridian on my bus and learned that she's (temporarily) working at a colonial print shop in the north end (ie, boston's answer to little italy, and also paul revere's old neighborhood) (and ben franklin's) (and lots of other colonial revolutionaries) - ANYWAY. she demonstrates 18th-century printing on an old printing press, and i ( Read more... )
