update 2007-03-16
I'm terrible about writing anything substantive to this blog. That's probably cause I'm not too sure how much personal info I want to post on a website that everyone can see. It's ideal for talking about beer, hookah, vacations, etc., but personal stuff not so much. Anyway, I'll try to at least be interesting.
Bad news:
- I just wrote some guy a check for $2000, which will totally obliterate my bank account and any fuzzy feeling I'd had from getting a big tax return.
- I showed up outside of the club an hour and a half early for the Ratatat show last night, only to find a sign on the door saying "Ratatat show sold out!" Now I'm listening to "Classics" and dying a little inside.
- My poster for this Harvard thing sucks because A) the topic is sketchy and B) I don't care
- It's really cold. It got up to 70 on Wednesday and now it's 30 and dropping. It will snow then rain then freeze and continue to cycle, making the earth one big skating rink
- we're being forced out of the apartment so they can sell them for condoes (which won't work) and our rent is going to go up at least $100 a month
- I didn't get to see Carolyn when she was in Boston :-(.
Good news:
- we just put in an application for a sweet pad on the top floor of a building on Marlborough St., which is right next to the river. It's in Back Bay, which is one of the nicest neighborhoods in Boston, and it's a really pretty, quiet street. The place is big with nice hardwood floors, a reasonably sized kitchen, and it allows kitties! sadly for the tentative kitty, there will be no mice on the 6th floor.
- heat and hot water are included. It's a gas stove.
- we're not moving until September, so we'll avoid living on the top floor with no AC during the summer
- we put in our application good and early, so we almost surely have the place
- our landlord is screwing his/her self trying to sell our current place as a condo. haha! they deserve it. bastards.
- my Suntrust CD matures today! woo hoo 15 months at 5%!
- I did very well on GREs
- I got to see Ania while she was in town
- if you've been reading the beermusic blog, you know that we got to see an amazing Of Montreal show
- we went to the Of Montreal show immediately after returning from a trip to Montreal, where we drank a lot of crappy beer, ate poutine (which isn't as dirty as it sounds, though certainly nasty), saw Notre Dame, clubbed with 16 year olds, swam in a "heated" pool, ate great brunches and some of the best eggs benedict (with asparagus!) ever, and annoyed the locals with bad French. On a side note, we found a sweet Chinese shop where I bought 35 year old Pu-Ehr tea, friends bought tea pots and sets, and I oggled the swords... We also hit a pretty sweet Vietnamese place in Chinatown where we all got pretty buzzed on MSG.
- the weekend before that I went out with T-bag and her associates to some crazy place called "Good Times Emporium". They have cheap pitchers, video games, bowling, billiards, and most importantly a go kart track, which was amazing at 2am. It was a little weird seeing entire families hanging out there and drinking till closing around 3am.
I'm not very good about taking pictures or bringing a camera with me anywhere, but I'm trying to get better!
Look forward to picture blogs on:
- montreal
- stupid geese
- crappy weather
- scary birds lurking in the reeds
- T-bag
- the coffee maker at my work (bad ass)
- my crappy bass
and more!
