so its cold in boston (finally)

it has been a very cold weekend. and tomorrow it will be 19F. yay. not really. i have to go outside tomorrow. haha. but at least its a tuesday and not a monday. that means closer to friday. not that i want the time to fly so fast that i'm old before i know it (which is what it feels like to me beckoning on the weekend every weekday). i want to do fun things on tuesdays too!

so lets see. on friday all i did was go to the gym. which was a feat in itself. then the next day i slept in. which is great. thats what weekends are for! and i enjoyed not driving all over the place for once. i went to see "no country for old men" with my somerville pal erick. the movie i did enjoy despite the fact that it involved a madman hunting people. it had a lot of character. and by that i mean the actors actually played distinct characters and it was actually a good show. i mean not boring. it was fluent and made ya think about what the hell was going on... and a little squeamish. then we were starved so we walked through the desolate looking streets surrounding kendall sq. and happened upon a restaurant called b sides that didn't look open but oh it was. and i did have a super tasty hot pastrami sandwich and a gin based drink called "monkey glands" which i think was probably much tastier than actual glands of any animal. but i'm pretty sure it gave me that acid stomach feeling in the middle of the night (somewhere between 3am and 1pm). and i knew i shouldn't of had orange juice two times in one day. not to mention with gin (the second time). haha. but tums always saves me.

u know boston is small so u'd think surrounding towns would be easy to get to. and well they are. but you have to make sure to catch a T back before they close up shop (or be prepared to shell out a bunch for a cab). so it kind of limits hanging out time with those who live across the charles. haha. unless little bike made it out for a spin. or u hung out till around 5am. but damn its bitter out. i'd need a ski mask. and snowsuit. and uh then i'd look crazy. but that's to be expected. wish i had room for a big bike. i could keep one in the basement. i saw some others locked up there. i may look into that since i have one sitting at home doing nothing. but i <3 little bike.

so i signed up for this site 'okcupid' on kudos from my friend sir mike. seems like there may some interesting folk on there to chat with and perhaps extract some friendships. i mean at least some busy nights on the calendar would make it worth its while. u never know where u'll find ur inspiration. or something. maybe i'll transform myself into a socialite yet. or at least go back to being an avid online socialite. then maybe i'll be one of those rad kids with those mobile devices IM'n (and bloggin) via that so i can not be confined to the room with my mini mac. mayhaps some conversations with some new folks will bring on some inspiration or some opportunities to explore this lil' city by the bay. i do enjoy a good talk.

anyway. i promised myself i'd go to sleep before midnight. so off i go.

'nite

:) Your writing always makes me smile (the monkey glands moment, as an example :). B Sides is an awesome name for a bar....and I soo loved No Country.. . Thought the performances were beyond wonderful...the killer was such--SUCH a scary man...scarier than Jason or Freddie, you know? Kara, are you excited to see There Will Be Blood? I'm hearing it may be the finest American movie this decade (in some reviewers' opinions). I am soo excited, and can hardly wait for it to come around!! And, my secret, guilty pleasure? I ADORE Godzilla movies...and so, the movie I've looked most forward to since the last LOTR film, Cloverfield I saw last night. I had read a lot about it going in, and knew it is kind of the Blair Witch of monster films (the bleak atmosphere, the hand-held camera, and so I thought it was marvelous. I loved it...it isn't wall-to-wall monster mash, as Godzilla movies are, but it never made any claim to being that sort of film. I just really loved the feel, the look, the special effects, and the characters of/in the film. I am soo anxious to see it again!
Well, I will let you go...you posted twice, Kara, YAY!! :) Best of luck with OKCupid...you are very beautiful, you know, and the boys should be raging over you. Be well, Kara, sincerely, Chris

:) Well, first, you're more than welcome for the compliments...it's very easy to offer them; I'm really happy you're posting, now don't think I'm crazy, but it's always a nice highlight of a day to see you've written something new (if you posted a new pic once in awhile it would make the highlight even more...highlightier! YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!!! :).
And I like this layout...the photo, with the colors, are very peace-inducing...I really dig the colors. OK, gotta run...have faith in yourself, Kara, with the OKCupid...I've always seen you as being very unique, and anyone who wants the chance to be with you should recognize that. Au revoir, Chris R.
