boston.

so i went to boston yesterday. i loved it. it's a great city. i can't wait to go back.

i took the green line in from riverside and met up with liz (after some confusion about where i was...). we walked around and she showed me newbury street, the commons, frog pond, the original filene's basement (i'm still not sure what the big deal is...), and BU. we grabbed lunch at a cute thai restaurant, and i have to admit that i don't think i'm all about thai...i know i'm so unsophisticated.

after that, i waited for several hours (okay, 20 minutes, but it was snowing and cold) for a T back to copley so i could meet up with lauren and manuel. i called lauren to see where she was and she and i have a "lovely" fight (i was tired, cold and lost and she was just defensive, confused and annoyed):
me: "i'm by the big shiny building."
lauren: "what big shiny building? you need to come to the prudential center. we're in the mall"
me: [grumbling and other pissed-off speak]

(later)me: "now, i'm by the mariott."
lauren: "we aren't in the mariott."
me: "no f**k. i don't know how to get there. come find me. i'm by the california pizza kitchen."

no worries, we were fine after finding each other. somehow in the midst of trying to find her and john, though, i lost one of my gloves. sigh. we spent the afternoon shopping/chatting (i bought headphones because i forgot to bring mine...a mistake). it was so good to see my buddies. after dinner manuel, lauren and i went to a "maxim" approved bar (no, seriously...) to hang out and chat. it was fun. until i realized that i lost my hat somewhere as we were walking to the train station. sigh...it's my favorite. manuel is my hero for going to find it.

so in all: lost a glove, lost a hat, and gained crappy headphones that didn't stay in my ears. :-\ it's a good thing everything else was fun.

(i've posted my pics from the day here, but i'll probably also put them on the gallery because i ran out of monthly uploads at flickr :-(. sorry.)
