Hello strangers!!! I'm not going to say to much about where I've been and what I'm been doing AND how I've just disappeared from cyber world. I'm just going to try and just right back in.
Miss me? I certainly missed posting. I actually have pieces of paper with thoughts that I wanted to bring to you guys that I scribbled down during class all over the place. I'll try to pick the most intriguing topics and bring em to ya in the future.
So this past weekend... R came and visited me (smile). Its was so refreshing having one of my folks up here with me. Thanks R. Love ya.
So what'd we do? We didn't do as much as I had hoped for... the weather was crappy, but I had fun nonetheless. R got here about a quarter to midnight on Friday. We dropped of his bag and made our way to Stella, a little Italian spot up the street from me. It was pretty good. I had the Orecchiette, which is basically small scoop-bowl pasta with sausage and tomatoes. It was good. I'll have to go back during dinner hours and try the Spicy Cioppino or one of their pizzas.
After our midnight snack, we headed back to what R calls the "haunted house" and called it a night. We talked for a while and then fell out.
Next day looked promising but around 2 or 3 the rain came. Afraid of wet clothes and sickness we left the streets of Faneuil Hall Market Place and went to the movies to see Knowing.
Ok here... Has anybody seen this movie yet? I don't want to say too much without giving the thing away, but I was not feeling this movie. In the beginning the story had me. It actually kept me through the middle too. I kept asking myself, "how are you going to end this?". The more the movie progressed towards the end the more my face turned downwards at this thriller or sci-fi or religious movie. I'll leave it there. Go check it out. What'd you think?

After the movies, R and I, found a bar with a television, sat down for a couple of beers and cheesy fries and watched the Michigan State and UConn Final Four game. Not that exciting... neither of the final four games were edge-seat performances. Maybe we'll see some action in the final.
Ok... I guess this is getting lengthy. R, A1, her cousin, her "friend" and I went out to a party (that's what they called it) later that evening. We had a decent time and ended up getting some BANGIN breakfast at South Street Diner in the end. We went home, slept and R left me in the morning. My place immediately felt quiet. (SIGH) I focused on the fact that my time is soon ending here in Boston and tried putting a smile on my face. Onward I go...
Oh like my picture up there? Sunday's weather was gorgeous and A1 and I made our way out into the world. That's a picture I took of the Holocaust memorial here in Boston.

I saw Knowing...also without giving too much away, it was one of those movies where it didn't turn out at all the way I thought it would, but I was happy and surprised...until the end. Nicolas Cage needs a trip back to acting school, but I'm happy he didn't pull a Tom Cruise in War of the Worlds. I was kind of waiting on a M. Night Shyamalan-esqe twist, but it never came (which was okay, I was just waiting for it), and I got left with, well, how it ended. I was scared to go in my house when I got home tho (there's woods and looming darkness), so I'm overall happy with the movie, but the end and the "OMG its an action scene and Nick Cage is in it so you know something fantastic is gonna happen" moments can kick rocks.
Oh and the realistic (I suppose, I've never seen it in real life) death scenes had me shaking like, wow, they can show that? Is that what that looks like? So that was kinda cool/creepy. And I'll be DAMNED if I ever run INTO a major disaster. I'd be going straight to the house and then a looney bin/bomb shelter if I saw some of that stuff in real life.
