i need a bike!

I think THIS sums up my frustration in trying to find a bike on craigslist...

pictures!

so this is carson making me a snack pack for boston. it was really important that i not eat any of this food til boston- except he let me take one bite of the role...i think just as a teaser.



yup. nottinghill.



this is my delightful house. my room is the very top one! it's super cute.



this is the charles river!



this is a really old cemetery in the boston commons down town.



this is harvard! well, part of it. it's big.



this is me standing by the chestnuthill resevore right by my house. it's super pretty.

welp, that's it for now. i'll keep them comming now that i have my camera cable (double thanks to mom and the postal service for some super speedy delivery, and a cute card)

on boston

so. about 48 hours ago, i moved to boston, massachusetts. it's good. i've wanted to move to boston for the past year and a half...don't ask me why- i do not know. just an irrational eastward compulsion i guess. you know how that goes...(right?) anyway- boston is great. it's a lot like san francisco, if you have had the pleasure. i feel kind of lame because i've been doing lots of internship related responsible productive things and haven't given being a tourist my full attention. but don't worry! i'll get on that asap.
i would post pictures of my super cute house and super nice roommates etc... but i left my camera cable (and my heart) in san fransico. so, shoot. but luckily i have a kindly mother who has put said cable in the mail so i'll post some pictures next week when it arrives.
tonight was kind of fun- I hopped on "the T" and went downtown to explore. one of my favorite things is that right in between all the cool buildings and shops there are a bunch of old (like 1600's old) cemeteries. they are awesome. tonight i saw the cemetery where samuel adams, paul revere, john hancock, and benjamin franklin's parents are buried. it kind of gave me the jibblies, but in a good way.
i'm really excited to go to church/meet people and start work and have fun and live in boston.

sorry about the no pictures- hopefully this google image will quell your anger.

things i like the most

i am picking up what you are putting down...battle

i'm picking up what you're putting down
i'm doing your laundry, i'm sweeping your floor
i'm drinking what you're pouring
i'm reading what you're writing
i'm analyzing the data you are collecting
i'm catching what you're throwing
i'm feeding your pets while you're out of town (?)

got anymore?

guy on a ladder

my room has four large windows and i'm home alone right now. on my way in i noticed a ladder proped up against the front of the house. i guessed it probably belonged to bryan who i thought may be taking down our christmas lights because it's april (Christ wasn't really born until april- so bryan thought it appropriate to leave the lights up for a few more months). anyway... I had just sat down to check my email when there arose such a clatter. i looked out my window and saw a strange man on a ladder. i was pretty startled. i almost just pulled the blinds up really fast but instead, i opted for a more incognito peak trough the blinds. i didn't want him to be scared and then fall off like in this infomercial:


i soon realized that he was just taking some measurements-hopefully to replace our super trashy windows and not in preparation for an upcoming break in. yikes.

I thought this was a dream come true, but really it was dream come joke. so go ahead and just put your hopes down.
