i've been lazy

so, in the last two weeks the important things that have happened are:

went to boston on business, which was a blast. an interview only takes an hour and we were there for seven, so we spent the extra time walking around cambridge and over the bridge to boston, ate italian food in a cute little restaurant. the table tops in the restaurant were paintings on multiple layers of glass. it gave the scenes an illusion of depth. i describe this because it was interesting, not because it was cool. net effect was kitsch. the waitress had a bostonian/italian-american accent and was very blonde. then interview, then shopping, and finally local beers on a terrace looking out over the water. work should be like this more often.

also, will hopefully be getting a press pass soon. this is a sign that my boss was serious about giving me more responsibility. responsibility means work, but it looks like it’s going to be interesting work.

the small thing that’s made me most happy this week was walking home from work yesterday. i brought one of those paper chinese umbrellas as a sun umbrella in the morning, but when i was walking home it started raining lightly. the sound of the rain on the waxed paper, crisp popping, was a sheer delight.
