today it was bee-you-tee-ful out so i went for a walk, and wandered into the north end (historically italian part of boston, for them what might be unfamiliar) because i wanted a cannoli, and... got kind of lost. >.< mostly because i didn't know where i was going. i saw a main street and headed for it, and then saw another main street and headed ( Read more... )
