i'm back from BAWWWSTIN. that accent out there was some trippy shit. but at least me and my co-worker had fun together. the entire work trip was poo and a pain the ass, but we were able to laugh and realize "shit, i'm glad i'm not out there."

it didn't snow when we were there, even better it was clear and fine on the day we arrived and rained and rained the following 3 days. supposedly, it was supposed to stop raining the day after we left... niiice.

i got to see my good pal, kate. i love that girl. it was really weird to be hanging out there in boston together. you know, like when you know someone in a certain context, then you change the surroundings and it seems a little surreal. she picked me up on friday from my hotel and we drove out to her "apartment" and hung out there for a little bit. i say apartment in quotes because apartments don't work the same way out there. it's not a big building with a hundred mini-houses, it's one house that has 2 floors and you either live upstairs or downstairs. it was really cute. and it was very new englandy, as in it had hard wood floors (which i love!) and it had like old school house stuff. and leave it to kate to have to dining chairs facing each other as an entertainment center. i took pictures of it for prosperity. after we looked at pictures and just talked for a bit, we went to dinner at this irish bar near her place. she ate dinner, i had dessert since i had a really big lunch. after that, we went to hang out at her exboyfriend/good friend's house with his friend and this girl that i think he was trying to hook up with. i learned two new drinking games that i'm gonna share at new year's eve. after that, we proceeded to a good old fashioned neighborhood "bawstin baw" where we had a beer. it's funny, out there, they don't seem to have many clubs, more bars, and i just don't think that's as fun. oh well, i got to hang out with kate, and hopefully, andy and i will be making a trip out there for fun, and her and her boyfriend are gonna come out here next summer. good times, good times.

well, i'm back at work now, and of course, i'm sick. i swear being in an airplane is danger. it's like a mobile germ factory. every time someone sneezed, i cringed cause there was no escape. also, the whole motion sickness deal is wicked. but, jet blue did have satellite TV for every seat. i watched animal cops on animal planet but i had to channel cause i didn't want to be bawling like a baby on the plane.

i need to get back to work. i think i'm gonna leave early cause i'm sick. and i'm still jet lagged.

one last thought: "if you're wearin' sneakas or sanduls, we suggest you take 'em offff." you really need to hear me say that in my best bostonian accent.
