so for the weekend, we made the most of our time...
dinner and lounging on friday. a little drinking and dancing to close out the night with some work kiddies which ended pretty low key and allowed us to wake up at a decent time on saturday morning.
tim and anna (mostly tim) were in love with the fact that there was a starbucks in my building. finally we got our act together to grab some burritos all around and then we did an in-car lap around campus to show tim, anna's bf, where we all went to class and slept and did dumb stuff. post chestnut hill we dumped the car and hit the streets. it was a little sunny out and not too cold (40F?) so decent enough to wander around.
we walked from fenway down to newbury and then all the way through the commons. in the commons we spent some time sliding around on the frozen duck pond and then staring at a hawk in the middle of the park. i kept the crew moving towards faneuil and then to mike's in the north end for some cannolis which we scarfed down next to the statue of paul revere in front of the old north church.
basically, we did a big tourist walk showing tim (brit boy) all the stuff you see in postcards and history books and movies about boston. and also i pointed out some of the work of my favorite graffiti artists the whole way around town... and my nice friends feigned interest. haha. i know... its my thing. the walk made everyone pooped so we came back and i fell asleep while everyone else watched a top model marathon. it's ok though, i did wake up for a little adventure that turned into a late late night and early morning. i havent been awake that late/early in quite a while. cos i'm an old lady and all...
anyways, me passing out to the sound of reality tv. so 'us'. also every time we went somewhere in my car we listened to amy winehouse and daniel and i sang along. so fun. we LOVE her and are sad together about her current scene. daniel and i got to talk about our silly hollywood gossip and i got to scare anna with sci-fi tales of the future with storms like from day after tomorrow and cutting off people's fingers to steal their identity. i love these kiddies.
closed out the weekend by eating at super 88 and finally seeing american gangster. um. it was very long. mostly the beginning. the last 40 min was great. denzel is amazing. few little things bugged me, historically speaking- rza's wu-tang tattoo and the more recent styles (80s/90s) of graffiti that were on the walls of harlem. little things. still, good story telling. glad i saw it.
next i want to see i am legend and juno. and probably some other stuff... i may go more often now that i live so close to the theater. maybe...

now anna, daniel and tim are gone. back to the usual boston. it's cold and grey, but i'm ok. i can start planning my trips to visit them now. i have a couch in LA calling my name... and by february - there'll be a couch or futon or scrap of floor in london too! yay. trips trips trips!
