ding dong...

the purple dresser is gone!! woo whooo! i am so glad! a girl named aiofe bought it. i'll give someone some mail art if they can phonetically spell how you pronounce that!

speaking of mail art, i am pretty far along with my 4th piece of mail art. its going to be a good one! i also updated my mail art blog with the first one i sent to JI.

i also sold my coffee table the other day, and i think JK might take my black chair. i am glad cause i want that to go to a good home, its precious...

i have a 2nd interview in the 'cuse next thursday. another marathon driving session! yippee! at least i'll be able to bring home more stuff and do my laundry for free.

tomorrow is a new LOST. its getting sooo good. that michael is an other now i think.

i met with keith today. we are going to meet on friday too. i got another ticket today on church street. so that makes $70 worth of tickets in one week from the city of cambridge. i should total up how much i've paid them this year. i have probably bought myself a parking space in that town!

tired..

the decordova is the coolest museum i've been to in MA, i'm kind of sad that i just found it now. :) i highly encourage everyone to go visit it! and in the month of may if you have a bank of america bank card or credit card you can go for free.




this was one of my favorite...


too bad this spectcular bird was $36. :(

here are the rest of the decordova pics.

i just watched 3 episodes of six feet under. i knew nate was dying this season, but i thought it would be at the end of the season. i think i have a whole 'nother disk after this one.. i just cried for 1.5 hours straight, 4 tissues worth. crying that much tells me it wasn't just the tv show..

yesterday was lk's last day of work. i'm kind of thinking that since we won't be working together anymore that i might go days and days without seeing her.. (i am cry) i also have a feeling that the next three weeks are going to FLY by..

maybe its because i've been crying and i'm in a depressed kind of mood, but it's starting to hit me that i am leaving. i'm leaving, and there is a good chance that i might not see a whole lot of people ever again.

monday night is girl dinner. i am making stuffed cabbage rolls and baked tomatoes.

last night after pep's party JN and i went to taco bell. i knew that it wasn't the best idea i've ever had, but we were hungry. so naturally, i ordered the spicy chicken burrito. as i was eating it my nose was running it was so spicy, and it was 130AM. i expected to be sleeping upright on the couch all night... well, thanks to the little purple pill, absolutely no repercussions... i am so infatuated with prilosec.



tomorrow is SOS. jk and i are going. i'm looking forward to it. :) i hope this wave of sadness passes, i don't want to be breaking down in public.

i heard this quote today and i like it...

how does anyone get over anything?
by remembering love...slowly you fall back in love with whatever really mattered to you.
and maybe you find a way to make sense of what you lost.

lost...teaches you don't drink and drive...

or you will be killed off the show.. i still hate that henry gayle.

its absolutely gorgeous here today. hopefully this weather will follow me back to boston tonight and the weather will be great for the party.

i remember part 2

i remember...

...kerris boyfriend coming to visit and buying a whole goat at haymarket and cooking it in our oven.

...kerri getting fired from a bunch of temp jobs before landing the one on exeter st where she eventually met her husband.

...giving myself a time limit of thanksgiving to meet friends.

...meeting kerris friend lee and his friend brian at our apartment on sanger street before we went out to a bar. i remember brian saying something insulting about a native american book i was reading.

...going out the 4 of us many times to the hong kong and me forgetting my license at least twice.

...not meeting lees girlfriend for a looooong time.

...going to annas wedding with lee because brian turned me down, and having one of the best times i've had at a wedding.

...lee arguing with the bartender about who owns the beer that was left over in the keg when the wedding ended.

...going to montreal because the expos were going to be disbanded and brian wanted to see a game in olympic stadium.

...olymipic stadium had the best hotdogs i've ever had at a stadium.

...throwing condoms full of water off the balcony in the cute hotel we had in montreal.

...i remember going back to the hotel room and interrupting brian getting it on with a canadian girl and the going out and wandering the streets and running into lee, and the 2 of us going into a strip club. that was the only place i could get a labatt blue. molson was the crappy beer of choice up there apparently.

...brian riding around a lot in brians hundai accent and picking up on how not to be afraid to drive in boston.

...brian teaching me about how the highways are like a wheel with spokes in boston. 495, 95, 90, 93...

...brian encouraging me to reciprocate dheerajs advances because "he's indian... and they know the kama sutra".

...remember having a new years eve party on sanger street and kissing larz on the front porch and feeling enraged and excited all at the same time that he bit me..

...2 years in a row of wfnx's best music poll. cowboy mouth, elliott smith, drinking way too much, stopping at mcdonalds and falling down after peeing at the loading dock of the stop and shop.

...noticing a blonde haired punk looking guy waiting for the bus on my way to the bus stop, and talking my roommates into changing their morning commuting schedules with me so that we could take the same bus as said blonde-y.

..the day the city of somerville tore up the sidewalk at the corner of main and dexter st and gillian, kerri and i talked to jeoff for the first time.

...when kerri would spend the night at jeoffs apt. and once she took my car for some reason.

...the night lee stopped by (drunk) and met jeoff for the first time. i was watching the simpsons with jeoff in the sunroom and remember fearing that lee was being mean to our new friend jeoff.

to be continued...

the 'i remember' game

i'm noticing that i remember most clearly the "firsts"...

i remember cathy crying in harvard square in may 98 when she was to take he train back to natick, and i was to go and stay with alecia in somerville.

staying with lori and alecia at their house when missy was out of town praying that i would find a place before "missy" came home. i had to be out of their house on sunday because missy would "freak out" if i was there any longer. i lived in fear of missy.

i remember getting the call from gillian asking me to be her roommate at the 11th hour after crying through hope floats in the theater that afternoon.

i remember talking to lori at night and her saying that she smelled gas... then calling lori after work the next day and her not being there, so i walked over to her house and she was still not there, but she could have been dead, so i climbed through the front window only to find she wasn't there.

i remember having big long talks with alecia and her mom about my debt problem on the front steps of their school street apartment while eating falafels from moodys falafel palace.

i remember going with alecia and her mom to the fourth of july on the esplanade in july of 98. i offered to buy a sprite from a family and they said no. we walked from the esplanade to porter square that night.

i remember kerri and i walking to davis square night after night to go to the joshua tree (the JT).

i remember filing above the MIT bookstore and going down there on my lunch break and picking out new books to read on the train.

i remember going out for drinks after work above the bookstore at 'characters'.

i remember laughing with elizabeth about peoples names as we filed away their third party medical forms.

i remember making my mom and dad meet me at the joshua tree and then bringing home barry and the two of us sleeping on the futon in the sunroom while my parents slept in my bedroom.

i remember stealing away to fax my resume to a bunch of places on the DL form the job above the bookstore.

i remember going to the interview at KB. a girl named heather picked me up from the stonybrook t-stop. there were cats at the interview.

i remember having a job offer later the same day i interviewed.

i remember going on a spirit of boston party for the filing job and wearing my HUGE leg jeans and my wooden platform shoes and walking from south station to the world trade center and after that night losing feeling in my feet from having my shoes tied too tight and thinking i had diabetes. and having to call cath in colorado to make sure i didn't...

more to come...

yay! he's back!

the sox got mirabelli back!!



the best part of last nights game was the dollar bills that the bleacher fans were throwing on the field for damon!

so productive this weekend

i accomplished quite a few things this weekend.

i had another "dinner" possibly 2 "dinners". one was in the oh-so far amesbury. it is a cute little town though, HEK, you and your boys should check it out. its right next to portsmouth. then on saturday the second one was at grasshopper. yummmmm. the hot and sour soup was so hot my nose was running and my mouth was en fuego.. i took a bunch of pictures of boston from my desired vantage points. my intention is to get one nice enough to blow up and frame... i saw the david hockney exhibit at the mfa. holy crap how could i have not heard of this guy before? i see what KT said when she said his stuff and my stuff was similar. i was pretty enthralled by his stuff. his concentration was portraits, so of course i loved it!

i also saw "inside man". it was pretty good. not so much for the story, mostly for the clive owen. i think he has become my new celebrity crush... out with colin farrell, in with clive owen.

after the movie we went to cold stone creamery for ice cream. has anyone else been there? it's out of this world amazing.. they take a base of whatever flavor ice cream you want, then they mix in whatever you want with scoopers right in front of you on the counter... i had oatmeal cookie dough ice cream mixed with fresh banana, caramel and almonds. omg. so worth the drive down to the landmark center... :) the really good news is there is one across from the target i will be working at in fayetteville. :)

sunday i spent a majority of the day packing. i can't tell you what joy packing brings me. i think its because i love the orderly-ness of boxes. when i pack a bunch of shit in boxes and arrange them neatly next to each other, and stack them, etc, it gives me a rush! i also love tie-wrapping things. tie-wraps were the best invention ever!! i also throw a lot of stuff out when i pack, which is like my 2nd favorite thing to do. i threw out all my homemade video tapes, a crappy vegetable steamer/rice cooker, a cracked george foreman grill, some old shoes and the crappy fondue set i stole from KT at the yankee swap this year. well. i donated it all, i didn't "throw it away". i'm going to bring my 'real' video tapes to work and try to sell them for a dollar a piece. next i need to contemplate getting rid of all my cds. EBH says she wants them, but that just the same as moving them again.. which is what i am trying to avoid. i haven't opened up any of my cds in 2 apartments now. i barely have a cd player. oh, the dilemmas...

tomorrow night some of us are going to play trivia. i think i might go every tuesday from now till i leave. i love trivia... i'll need to find some trivia enthusiasts in the 'cuse.

wednesday i take the first leg of the driving marathon to the interview in e. syracuse. at least i will be able to catch up on all the shows cath has been dvr'ing for me..and i can get my laundry done.

friday is sure to be a foggy night... i better charge my cameras battery so i can remember what happens... it's lk's last day of work, which means another party on friday from 4-6. then its peps party... hee hee.. i'm getting so excited!
