[This topic and portion of our trip, I felt, deserved it's own page in my journal]We also went to the Boston Holocaust Memorial. I cried, like I usually do at these kinds of things.There are six pillars, each with one million numbers, representing the tattooed #s on each victim of the Holocaust. It was beautiful … Continue reading Boston 2008 – Day 3 – Aug 6 – The Holocaust Memorial

Mr. Bartley's @ Harvard. Best burger - so sayeth Wall Street Journal and Pete Buchwald. Best/Only strawberry shake I've ever had.Harvard is beautiful - amazing architecture & greenery.MIT is funky and weird. Strange building - kind of look like Frank Lloyd Wright...or whoever did the Denver Art Museum. Haven't heard anyone say "Hahhvahd" yet, but … Continue reading Boston 2008 – Day 3 – Aug 6 – There are no pretty girls at Harvard…just smart ones.

Got up around 8am, had some breakfast,then went to Copley Square to catch the Bean Town Trolley. That was an adventure. An hour later, we found the bus and we on our way!This town rules! Everyone is really nice and there's too much history to keep up with!. Drove past concert halls, churches, MIT (woo … Continue reading Boston 2008 – Day 2 – August 5 – Do not ever EVER chug wine.

7:40am flight...GAAA!!!Slept most of the way - apparently too tired to function, even after a Dazbog green tea smoothie. Insane turbulence into Atlanta which I hated, but the XM satellite radio (for free!) and Todd made it a bit easier...but not much.Made it to Boston. Uneventful flight for the most part. We flew over Manhattan, … Continue reading Boston 2008 – Day 1 – August 4 – Tubulence is a bitch.

So I've decided to start journaling about every trip that I take...mostly so that I can remember everything as it happens.My first time with this was Boston...so the next few blogs will chronicle our trip through Bean Town...which was wicked awesome, by the way.

Sometimes Todd and I buy each other surprises and refer to them as "prizes".Typically, they're small things...less than $10 or so.I got Todd a prize yesterday. A t-shirt with a SuperMarioBros mushroom on it that says "1up" underneath it. I have honestly been eyeing that shirt for 6 months (or longer) waiting to see it … Continue reading This ain’t your mama’s Cracker Jack prize….

Wow. In keeping with the theme, this presidential election is coming out with some of the most bullshit ads. This one tops them all.It's just a ridiculous ad.I don't care if you do or do not support Obama. I don't care who you're voting for.This isn't about that.I fricking hate bullshit ads.I hate political ads, … Continue reading PINK! SPARKLY! FUN!

So last night, we (finally) watched SUPER SIZE ME. I've been hesitant to watch it since it came out. Mostly because I thought it had a different premise that it actually does. I had to sit through the first 15mins or so during my creative writing class this summer and found myself intrigued by it. … Continue reading SuperSize some responsibility, please.

Last night, a girl in my class, Lauren, was asked, "Why did you quit acting?"She said, "Because I hated who I was becoming and what I was about."She said she was incredibly vain, perpetually concerned about her weight and size, always looking in a mirror, and beyond that, she was becoming incredibly cynical and bitter...about … Continue reading Cynical and bitter will not describe me….ever.

I have long been bitching about social injustice. I hate it. It's probably the one thing that will really get me going if need be. I can rant and rave about all kinds of crap if I need or want to. The first time I got a real taste of how much I actually hated … Continue reading Fighting an uphill battle…..
