Alright...so I would've updated sooner...but I've been too busy. I made it to my new home alright, so that's cool. As of yet I think it's going to work out really well. I'm just down the street from the grocery, there are two beer stores on the other side of the block, and to my surprise, there's a real coffee shop just around the corner!

So far I've spent my time checking out bike shops, tattoo shops, MassArt, and all the squares here...which aren't squares at all and are totally unsuitable for public executions. I went and saw Municipal Waste with Granny the other night, it was pretty fun, though it's been a long time since I've been to an all ages show where I didn't know anyone...it made me feel like an awkward 16 year old again. Maybe that's a way to describe how I'm feeling in Boston - kind of awkward, and I do miss some people back home a great deal, but I think that's to be expected.

Last night I went to what my roommates refer to as 'Goth Night' at a place called Toast (I think), it's also just down the street. I guess there's some long and tragic history behind this night of celebration, it kind of reminded me of going to Neighbor's in Seattle only smaller and people were wearing more black...kinda fun, actually. Tonight I'm going to some show at The Middle East, it's one of the only bars I went to while I was here in March, it's also where Origin is playing next month...weird.

I don't know what else to say, the humidity is new to me, I went on a duck tour with my parents. Really, even though I've only been here a week or so and am still getting to know my way around and don't really know anyone, I think I'm going to be really happy going to school here. It's amazing what a change in attitude 3,000 miles can make.

OH! As an aside: my little sister is moving to New York for med school next month and she's coming over apartment hunting next week, so I'm going to go visit her in the Bronx! I was really happy when she got accepted, we were applying to schools at the same time and here process was way longer and probably quite a bit more strenuous than my own...I was worried she wasn't going to get accepted anywhere. Now she's had to make the decision between prestigious schools in New York and Chicago! So yeah, I'm proud of my little sis, who would undoubtedly be irritated with me for expressing it through a porn site.

So I think that's it for now, I've gotta go do laundry. Fuck...okay....that first photo is actually kind of a nice shot of the Boston skyline...I'll work on resizing it...fucking pain in my ass.
