Today

Today was the wandering around day --everyone either wound up walking the freedom trail, doing some sort of community service, or (what I chose) having a "Day of the Arts" which meant we went to a couple of spifty museums.

Also, the pinnicle of spiftyness today is that my student ID can get me into the Museum of Fine Arts for free. Score!

The first museum, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Musuem, was basically this huge old house filled with art. Apparently this eccentric and obscenely rich woman bought all this art and filled her house with it, and then, in her will, made a provision that none of the works she had installed could be replaced. I just wish I had that much money to decorate with --it almost looked like something out of the sims!

We didn't get a lot of time to poke around the MFA, but as it costs only $2.40 for the subway fare (I have a CharlieCard now!) I'll probably go back. The absolute coolest thing I found was this scrolling LED installation, that scrolled different messages from this womans work. She apparently wrote these books that were collections of slogans or something, and the LED thing ran a sixty minute loop of these messages. I walked away from it feeling particularily shaken --It all felt very much like I was recieving subliminal messages. Sometime when I've got a spare couple of hours, I may go back and watch the whole loop.

I rode home with the twins, Madeline, and newfriend Jess. We skipped the Harvard Square stop, where everyone was getting off, so that we could go down to Porter Square and poke around Porter Exchange some more. We wandered into this awesome Japanese grocery store (Which sells pocky, which I'm sure will make SOMEONE on my friendslist happy) and attempted to get lost in the basement.

We meandered home, slinking in and out of a Hollywood Video and History, which is a vintage clothes store. History has the GREATEST pair of Union Jack pumps in the window --of course, they cost something like $180. *sigh*

And, I mean, I don't like shoes. But they're really cute.

I left them reading books in there so I could go get my final transcript and bring it back to Porter Exchange. I stopped to slack on Seren a bit, and caught Magus being bored. Being as he promsed me ice cream, the two of us agreed to meet up at Porter Exchange and wander around Cambridge some.

blabla, boring transcript stuff, met up with Magus, who has a far superior photojournalists vest (Although his doesn't have romantic backstory, I suspect) and the two of us wandered around Mass ave and Porter/Davies Square, and got ice cream at this little store in Davies Square that I have totally forgotten the name of. >.<

Eventually, we wandered back to his place so I could meet his housemates, which was nice and only a little bit "...so...yeeeeeeah." The three of them walked me back to Porter Square station and ran off on the T to go to some dinner party, and I wandered my way home. (Dun worry --it was still light out. I totally wasn't raped.)

Then I came home and slacked online for something like an hour and a half now. Yepyep.

Tomorrows grand schemes involve not having to go to any classes, meeting Jarne around twoish (So if I get kidnapped, Raped, and Murdered, you'll know why. Because, to quote him :
"Me.
The short, wimpy rapist.
Who rapes people.
In bookstores in the middle of the day.
That would be impressive, actually."

(Yay for choosing big full bookstores to meet internet people in.)

Around sixish, I'm going to abandon him (if we haven't parted ways sooner) and meet up with the Bawston Dave and Diane for dinners.

And then I will go sleep more and have classes the next day.

I'm out

MOOP!

Quote of the Day: "Excuse me, child. Are you from the internet? "I'm an internet predator, y'see. I can only rape you if you're from the internet." --Jarne

Quote of the Yesterday: "The only dance I do is proceeded by the word 'chicken'"
--...Heather? One of the otaku girls.

Notes about Things

Notes about things:

*People smoke a lot more in college then in high school. (presumably because it's legal) There are always half a dozen kids out on the quad with lit cigs in their mouths.

*My dinner tonight was a bag of Combos and an apple that I swiped from the dining hall yesterday. I am officially a college student.¹

*HOLYSHIT! I COMPLETELY forgot to bring my HTML cheatsheet! That means that stuff that I should know how to do, like links inside my post, have completely been lost. ²

*There are at least three bookstores in Cambridge that I haven't gone into yet. Aiee! (one over in Porter Square, the one next to Diesel Cafe in Davis Square, and Barefoot Books up along Mass Avenue.)

*I should go to bed in the very near future, and read the rest of Sandman #9. Also, I should brush and braid my hair again, since I had it braided all yesterday and that was nice.

Goodnight!

1: Magus, this was not your fault. Mom, this was not Magus's fault. I will eat a proper breakfast tomorrow and be perfectly fed.

2: Well, I could always go look them up. But I'm lazy, and by posting the above, Tho might go ahead and tell me it again.
