4th of july weekend & running account of boston pops fireworks spectacular.

this weekend seems to have gone by pretty slow.. i think its because for once i've spent a long weekend in boston.. i'm usually traveling 2 of my "long weekend" days away.

i went to 2 BBQ's one in dedham, one on the cape, pretty much the same people at both parties, 'cept the 2nd one, tim and fran were at the one on the cape. sat night was spent at LK's place in swich. its so relaxing down there. it makes me tired, :). the water was nice though, i swam this time. i used my 48 sunblock though, so hopefully noone will know i was in the sun this weekend.

i am watching the fireworks on tv right now on tv. some of the people that are there are lunatics. do they look in the mirror before they leave the house and see that they are wearing a flag t-shirt, with flag shorts, and sequined flag hats, and think, god this outfit is dead sexy.. after the fireworks they prob get in their american cars covered with those ribbon magnets.. and i don't really see the attraction to waiting all day to get a spot in front of the hatch shell. how boring is watching the symphony? i don't think there is anything more boring. this year, they don't even have any good performers, who's heard of cowboy troy?

i could just hear the cannons that were going off on tv from outside. pretty sweet. pretty soon will be the fireworks, i bet i will be able to hear it from my bed here. woot!

so i went to lunch today with AM. we also walked what felt like 7 miles. we met at BU and then walked to china town to penang. it looked like a good menu. AM ordered for the two of us, that was different, but nice. he also paid. i tried this chicken dish that was half a chicken, boiled, and chilled over and over again till its cooked. it was kind of tough, and it had bones in it. there was this curry beef too, that was much better. needless to say, i had a lot of rice. :)

after lunch we walked back to fenway and watched land of the dead. it was a zombie movie. it pretty much sucked, but at least it wasn't scary. john leguizamo was in it. i like him.

AM was kind of cute. i'm not sure if we'll go out again, but i'd be willing. he also drives a black accord, but his is 99.

tomorrow is trivia.

these fools they keep showing on tv.. i'm embarrassed for their family's. some have beely boppers with glitter stars on them like flags, there are a bunch of idiots in the front row with shirts on that make up a huge flag when they all stand next to each other..

ooooo, grand old flag, that is my favorite song. :) i wish the pops would play that song they play at new year, old bald something.. i like that song, and pomp and circumstance.

i haven't heard lee greenwoods god bless the USA. i wonder if the pops played it earlier..

AAAAAAAHHHHH someone is breaking in to my apt. oh, phew it's just LK.

i have noticed that the jetta has been remade with electric seats. i don't know who designed the last set of seats, but the seats do not practically recline. and they infuriate me.

that keith lockhart, not attractive.

hmm, i didn't realize that there were that many country fans here in boston, maybe they are imports and that is why they look so ridiculous...

i don't like the looks of that cowboy troy. he looks like he is trying to do the "people's eyebrow". come on, bring on the fireworks already. i am so glad i am not down there. if its 10:20 right now and they haven't even started the fireworks, it will not be done till 11 prob. then it'll take a good 1+ hours to get home from that chaos. so glad to be in the comforts of my own bed.

these are some pretty intricate fireworks, i must admit.
