"Heads"
I have a bad habit of, when making a mistake, to always make a bigger one than any normal person would. For instance: tonight, after working all day at the MFA and then doing a 3-hr concert at Symphony Hall, I slipped and knocked my walkie-talkie through the slot in the rope loft above the stage. As I watched it fall many feet towards the stage, ( Read more... ) -
I have clean feet, thank you very much!
I have been sitting in this cushy vinyl chair in the Boston Public Library for two hours now. I have my boots off and my feet curled under me to keep them warm. I do this in libraries all the time ( Read more... ) -
There and Back Again
Spent all last week in Paris. Finally got out of North America! I was in Paris once when I was 13, but don't remember much more than chocolate mousse, wine-o dad, and that I had Francs in my wallet, so I don't really think it fully counts ( Read more... ) -
I am frustrated.
Frustrated that while driving the 1.5 miles and back to drop my mom at the T, no less than 6 people honked at me to move while I was waiting for oncoming cars (which they couldn't see) to pass - it's as if everyone is taking out the Pats loss last night on everyone else. Great way to start my Monday morning ( Read more... ) -
A brief update.
Christmas was good. There was food, presents, family, and more food.
Work is abominable. We have no manager, so certain other supervisor is "playing manager" when she really doesn't know what the hell she's doing and everyone hates her now. Including Samantha, who never gets angry at anyone. Bumbling old idiot ( Read more... ) -
Boogie-Stop Funk
Living in suburbia is getting to me. In a major way. Having to live on the MBTA's schedule, too far away to go hear live music when I want to, and with no one to go with me. So I hadn't heard any live music since leaving Montreal. Thankfully, a friend from work gave me an escape last night- at Ryles Jazz Club last night, to hear Boston Horns play ( Read more... ) -

Caffeine, anyone?
I fricking love my internship. I mean, LOVE IT. Crawling around in the attic and rope loft of Symphony Hall, running cables for the upcoming BSO season...while I can hear Regina Carter playing with a jazz pianist, while a whole group of people are doing sound-check for a Berklee concert that night...setting up mics in Troy, NY and getting my lesson ( Read more... ) -
Out of school and busier than ever
Somehow, in the back of my mind, being out of school means being less busy. Perhaps that's just residual summer-job-memories of working 9-5, and then being tired and bored. I've been out of school and home a few months, and I think I'm busier than ever ( Read more... ) -
Interning vs. working retail...the battle continues
So I'm about to finish my third week at my job. And I like it there- I work 4 shifts a week, at different times; there are really cool people and I've made some friends; all sorts of people come in and all sorts of fun stuff is around the store; I make the same money I made in 35-40 hrs/wk last summer in 30hrs/wk here, and every day is different ( Read more... )
