Journal blinder's Journal: I Likes To Kick It 9

Journal by blinder

started out the day today heading down to GOVERNMENT CENTER to the KINKOS in that i had to print, sign and fax some paper work, and well, since i have a start date of the 22nd of this month, i've got some time to kill here and there, and today was full of time that needed some killing.

i got what i had to get done by 10:30 a.m. (EDT) and decided to wander around a bit. i ended up strolling through THE COMMONS, nice day for it really. walked around THE POND and down around to the other side of the park, ending up around STATE STREET. i just strolled through, looking around... walking past WINTER STREET over to WASHINGTON STREET to the ORANGE LINE. i decided to head on over to HARVARD SQUARE (via DOWNTOWN CROSSING) and look at some CDs. so i did.

i went over to NEWBURRY COMICS in THE GARAGE (i don't know why i bother NC has gotten so bloody boring) and picked up INSTED "Live At CBGB," INTEGRITY "Scratch The Surface," and HATEBREED "Under The Knife."

i stopped off at UNOs in HARVARD SQUARE and had a salad for lunch. it was then off to the T STATION again and back over to DOWNTOWN CROSSING to pick up the OUTBOUND ORANGE LINE.

i then had a couple hours of down time... then it was off again, down to BACK BAY to meet the dragon to escort her home.

i'm really starting to learn my way around this place. now if i could just figure out how to *drive* to CENTRAL SQUARE without going through HARVARD SQUARE, i'd be all set! see, you don't want to go that route, on MASS. AVE. its stupid, and longer than it needs to be. there is a way... but i just can never figure it out.

so... i've had a full day of exploring. i like exploring a new place. i like it so much better than baltimore in that you can actually see more and do more without having to drive 35 minutes to everywhere. in baltimore, everything is so spread out that it can take a better part of a day just to go to maybe a few different places (try going from the DISTRICT to, i dunno, FELLS POINT... what a drag that is)... but here, you can go from DOWNTOWN to CAMBRIDGE on the T in 20 minutes. easy peazy.

well, yeah... time to think about dinner now. starving.

hey... what's for dinner anyway?

    Perhaps I can HELP. Where are YOU trying to GET there from? And WHY are you writing like THIS?

    • yeah, it drives me NUTS when people CAPITOLIZE random WORDS for no REASON. knock it OFF!
    • Yes, I was going to say...coming from where you are, blinder, you ought not be going through Harvard to get to Central. You're overshooting it.

      Another open (although still square loaded, there are back streets to skip them) is to drop through Davis on the backside of Porter to Inman, and then take a right on Prospect into Central. That's the direct route that everyone knows...but it avoids Harvard.

        Heh, that's why I leisurely ride my bike down the middle of the street on the way from my house to Beacon St, while some irate yuppie in her SUV hangs off my rear wheel, honking furiously and revving her engine. If you don't live here, you don't need to be driving here.

        The problem, really, is that the people who love shortcuts like that are also the exact last people you need filling a street where two-way traffic already requires you to d

  • Dinner was low-carb bread and cheese turned into grilled cheese sammiches. With some of that nasty celery stuff on the side. *crunch crunch*
  • You know, I work in CAMBRIDGE, near the ALEWIFE T stop. You should visit if you're excessively bored one day.

    Wandering THE COMMONS really is nice and relaxing, so is THE GARDENS across the street. So that's what I did tonight after work with KRISTAN. Then we wandered to COPLEY and stopped by the building with the weather beacon on top to ask what the hell it was :-P

    Perhaps we should get together and wander or hang out outside of an apartment some day, we could get the whole crew (SOLEMNDRAGON, PANCHO,

    HARVARD SQUARE

    HAH! OBVIOUSLY the HEART of the IVORY TOWER LIBERAL THINKING. Why not just go all out and start promoting connections to SMITH COLLEGE!?! BOSTON has never proven itself to be anything more than the SHADOW of the FINE PEDIGREE of Northeastern LIBERAL THOUGHT of NEW YORK CITY (with its multiplicitous LOCALES perfect for CELEBRITY SIGHTING). It has a pure-blood Liberal Aryan Heritage that both AL PA
    • Ha!

      you have stumbled on my SECRET PLAN, to convert through logic (if feasable) or sheer gut-wrenching violence (as PLAN B) HARVARD SQUARE into a LIBERTARIAN bastion and oasis to replace the RED FEAR that has infected the place.

      i have been in secret talks with AL PACINO and WIONA RYDER to exact the FINAL SOLUTION to the HARVARD SQUARE QUESTION.

      DUCK BOATS are indeed part of the plan. fast mobilization is the key.

      the end game is to put the LIVING FEAR into NEW YORK CITY forcing said city to CECEED from THE UN
