1. April in Boston, man. It’s a dream. The sun shows up in the morning, birds chirping, etc. The sun is still up when I get out of work. Things are getting green again, flowers are everywhere. Lovely cool breezes and sunglasses. On Friday, we ran the Southwest Corridor park and discovered there is a [...]

input/output
In accordance with my self-imposed More Documenting credo, I have been filling three little notebooks with The Things That I Do. The red notebook is for books (because one list isn’t enough), the pink notebook is for meals (because I am in a perpetual state of Meal Planning Angst, unable to remember a single dish [...]
david macaulay and the eternal city
Each night, hundreds of exciting things are going on in my fair city, and even when I am expressly invited to partake in in one such activity, I usually weasel my way out of it. It’s cold/It’s far away/I am not feeling well/I had a long day/I am a insistently joyless human. Et cetera. However, [...]
NY, NY
Getting from Boston to New York City is obscenely easy. It is also affordable. Of course, staying in New York City is the opposite of affordable, so we never want to go. However, we bit the bullet a few weekends ago and spent a night in Manhattan. I wish that I had a ton of [...]
this is what happened during Sandy
1. I sat around for most of the day thinking “Why in the world is this my SECOND hurricane in just barely over 3 years in Boston?” Not to mention the earthquake, the tornado, the blizzard… did I accidentally move into Life As We Knew It? 2. The Boy and I were both granted days [...]

Happy Halloween! I still hate you, Halloween, as a holiday, but let’s raise a pumpkin-flavored drink to… Costumes that are free Costumes that can be thrown together in a few hours or less Costumes that ultimately consist of me wearing my black workout clothes with my favorite boots on top Costumes that are children’s lit-based [...]
2012: week forty-two
October 14 – October 20 Social Butterfly Jessica outdid herself this week. Sunday afternoon: Bowling Did I mention that The Boy and I have joined a bowling league? Oh yes, we are that cool. For what it’s worth, we joined with some of our friends, and we had a Groupon. The league is six weeks [...]
the best of summer 2012
Despite what I might have portrayed here, this summer wasn’t all jobs & stress & retail. I did have a few moments of summer fun. I even put on my swimsuit once! Here are some of the highlights: My close and semi-extended family descending upon Boston for my graduation. My Favorite Darling Roommate coming to [...]
doing fun things (in new england)
I am finding it a bit hard to believe that I have been a New England resident for three years now. As my longtime friends know, I am here because of school, not because I have a penchant for colonial history, skiing, or foliage. I’ve been working, studying, and being poor. I haven’t spent my [...]
get out of my chimney
Tonight, they boy and I went to the Coolidge Corner Theater to watch the new Wes Anderson movie. Don’t worry, we aren’t actually that twee. We were supposed to do something else fun, but then *somebody* slept in too late, and then *somebody else* got grumpy because we had about .2 oz of coffee in [...]
