Long time no blog.

Ever since (e:hodown) stopped blogging, I haven't felt like it much either. Also, I've been busy writing my stupid thesis.

Anyway, last week after hearing the news that MJ died, I headed home from lab, had dinner, and then Eamonn and I got sucked into the excessive media coverage on TV and the interwebs. Around 10pm he said, "Is this what we want to remember doing the night Michael Jackson died?". No. I suggested we hop on the A train and head down to the Apollo, where an impromptu block party had been building since the news broke.

Here are a few of my pictures from the celebration. There was a dance off between the little kid and the old man, plenty of good people watching, and a huge group sing-along in front of the theater where hundreds of people sang Billy Jean, Black or White, and Beat It in unison. Magical.

And aside from the ladies at the gym this morning, the only person I have actually spoken to today is my boss.

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. image

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

A lovely, non-traditional Easter.

I'm back

Took a trip to Boston last weekend to visit some friends and ghosts of grad schools past. I'll post more pictures later.
