Boston

Once upon a time I lived in Boston. I moved there right after undergrad to start graduate school in the summer of 2002. I hadn't been back since I dropped out and got on a Greyhound bus bound for NYC (and a different grad school, though I wasn't sure how that would play out at the time). That was way back in 2002. It was time to visit the past.
One of my science BFFs, Joe, moved from NYC to Boston last summer to start his residency in radiation oncology at Harvard (he's dumb) so we met up with him for some dinner and general debauchery. A good friend from undergrad, Tom, who I hadn't seen in almost 6 years is a resident at BU (also dumb) and came along for the funn. The Schlitz was all Tom's idea.

We slept off the Schlitz and then headed to Cambridge on Sunday to wander around and look at the fancy schools.

Stopped off at my favorite nerd bar/restaurant for a bloody mary and some lunch.

Harvard is nice and all but MIT is really, really spectacular, in my opinion. It was weird being back on campus after all these years. My inner geek shed a tear.

After visiting the science ghosts we headed back to Boston proper for some last minute sight seeing.

A lovely, non-traditional Easter.

Party at my place!

Saturday night my boyfriend and I threw a last minute party at our place. There was plenty of food and booze (I typed 'fooze' before correcting), and great company including (e:hodown).

My spinning instructor, Daniel, poses with the spread and helps himself to some duck mousse with truffles.

Mmmm Haagen-Dazs select ice cream. Pomegranate chip and Hawaiian Lehua Honey & Sweet Cream. Crack.

Practicing for old age. It's hard to drive a wheelchair with a martini in hand, FYI.

Pistachio Cleavage

(e:hodown) reenacts the famous Pistachio incident of 2009.

(as told by her Facebook status on January 29, "Jessica Ho was just told that she has a pistachio shell in her cleavage... by a Managing Director.")

Dear estrip,

Why must you distort our profile pictures so?
I fear you will judge me a pinhead should I post my real mug.
Warmest Regards,
-The Cheese

If that is the stat I assume everyone is going by. One stat that would be interesting to know is How many average viewes per journal. You take the views and divide my the number of posts. Just an Idea for the new version when ever it comes out.

What about my blog? I'm your sister and I'm trying to climb to #1.

I'd pout if (e:businesscheese) wasn't so rad.
Also she has the best fashion ever. Srsly.
Carolyn you make the best dresses. Don't worry I heart you too!

lilho writes at 11:52:51 03/13/09 - Comment #46425: yours is my fav new blog!

metalpeter writes at 07:33:47 03/13/09 - Comment #46416: Like (e:paul) said if it isn't about that size the picture will get distored. I don't know about how your camera works but some cameras have a setting that will make your picture smaller. Here is another trick if your camera doesn't do that. Take a picture of your self from a distance in what ever the smallest picture size is that way you get a lot of background. Then with picture software crop all of that stuff out AND THAT WILL MAKE the picture smaller. Yes you can reduce the size using software but that often makes the picture kinda blurry.

businesscheese writes at 02:51:03 03/13/09 - Comment #46404: Thanks Paul!
I guess I should bother to change it now that the complaint department has resolved my issue.

paul writes at 01:13:03 03/13/09 - Comment #46403: Just upload a picture that is 125px wide by 150px high and it will not distort.

james writes at 12:17:20 03/13/09 - Comment #46401: I love Pinhead. Too bad the other Hellraiser movies were awful.

joshua writes at 12:09:21 03/13/09 - Comment #46400: IMO it has to do with Paul's draconian image management rules!! (Only kidding....)

I post my face in my profile picture - I think if you want to avoid the distortions you have to be fairly precise about the size of the picture.
