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.

Your legs bear a striking resemblance to the legs pictured in the graffiti to the right. Spooky or what?

The guy is either putting something away or getting it but he is to short to reach it from out side the cab. Or his body portions could be wrong for that also so he has to sit inside. Or he is making a hiding spot for Money and Dope for when he crosses the boarder, HA.

This rates quite high in the WTF Rating System, I have to say. Were those olives stuffed with funky cheese, or were they "only" the pedestrian kind?

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.

Something about these pictures is so beautiful. They share a common thread of coolness. :)
Nice pictures. I have never been to Boston. I would like to visit the place some time. Not sure If I would want to go and see a Hockey game and be there when it is cold or go in the summer or spring when I could just walk around the city and not go numb. There was a band I really liked from Buffalo/Boston called The Sheila Divine that I have seen a bunch of times but never got to see them there, that would have been awesome.
Totally jigging.
Is Eamonn doing a jig in the Obama picture?
Also I feel like Schlitz's is the PBR of Boston.
