My boss fired me with some really interesting bullshit excuses. Of course I saw it coming. My department hasn't even been making enough to support payroll. I've known about this for quite some time and I was waiting for the other shoe to drop.
They were pretty surprised when my response was a nonchalant "Okay, take care guys."
Heading back into the city after a relaxing afternoon/night on the north shore with some good friends. Probably going to hit the mfa and a few other spots here and there.... drunken happy fun times later tonight!
spent the last two days hanging out with my cousin and her husband in this weird pocket of gentrification in south Dorchester, near Neponset. Now I'm wandering the streets of boston, and going up to Newburyport for the night. now I have to figure out what I'm doing for monday night in boston, I'm most likely staying in back bay. Anyone have any Ideas?
i usually don't do the back bay scene much, since i'm rarely over there (though that might change, since one of the two jobs is off newbury). most of my drinking in boston proper has been down in the fanueil hall area -- purple shamrock, etc, on the haymarket side, and black rose, kitty's, jose mcintyre's, etc on the aquarium side.
my ex played a show at copperfield's, near fenway, saturday night that apparently got quite rowdy, with a chick fight and all! that could be entertaining.
salem is a lot like providence, if you've been there, though even smaller. historic, pretty, kind of quiet, kind of weird, kind of artsy, kind of spooky. with lots and lots of great bars and restaurants. easily walkable and/or bikeable, and the commuter rail runs straight through town and into north station. it's also totally full of freaks and weirdos, for better or for worse (some of them run a little hard and fast for my taste, but everyone knows everyone and the community is pretty cool.)
if/when i move home, i'd do 'toga. yeah, it's yuppie. really yuppie. painfully yuppie. but salem has taught me how to live with tourists without killing them, and i would HAVE to be in a walking town. those half hour drives from clifton park to downtown saratoga just to get a decent cup of coffee were the pits.

It's funny how there's always that one you'll never get over. Just thinking about her brings a smile to my face. Goddamn I wish I was in Seoul right now. Normally i'm pretty crabby about these things, but there's nothing but good feelings here.
That's freaking awesome! Man, I'm working on a theremin... I was going to have a stripper play it, but people like cats even better than strippers... hmmm.
I popped in here to give you recommendations as to how to spend a Monday in Boston... all i can think of is free bowling at The Milky Way.
my cosigner dropped the ball on my house deal. I'm without home. my friends are fucked and even though it was out of my control, I feel responsible for it all. typically, I'm the type to take it all upon myself. I feel sick to my stomach. on the brighter side of things, I might go see Rasputina tonight.
you have to come to new hampshire and party with me.
(p.s. there is a cheap house that i want here, i wont get mad if you buy it! 159,000 for a four bedroom. and they are motivated, which means i bet you can get it lowered!)
