  • so connecticut ended up turning into new york.  go figure.

    everywhere i look, people are walking around, carrying a copy of HP7.  it takes everything in me to keep myself from reaching out and grabbing it out of their hands.  anyway, what's their problem that they couldn't finish it all in one weekend?!  one more week.  just one more week....  sometimes i hate how i can be so stubborn.  it's just that a little bit of Harry would make 36 hours of plane rides and layovers so much more bearable, no?

  • and red all over


    david just walked by my cube with a new red t-shirt on.  it said:  "love me.  ortiz me."  ortiz.  as in david ortiz.  as in red sox.

    and then the night before - a game night no less - the train pulled into the station at fenway, which is called "yawkey"station (it's one of those wierd massachusetts names), and the conductor announced, "station stop: yankee stadium".  it took everyone a second because the guy said it so casually, and then suddenly people were standing up, looking around, shouting, gasping...  and finally, over the loudspeaker, "haha...just kidding.  yawkey.  station stop: yawkey".  i think most people thought it was pretty funny, but i'm sure there were a few who were fuming the entire ride home.

    this town is a little loopy.

  • i think i want to chop my hair.  now that it's finally gotten to be as long as i wanted it to be.  funny how that is.  but yes, i do think i want to chop it.  and i think i found just the place to do it.  a place that doesn't require a 4-hour bus ride to new york no less.  i always used to think catherine was just a tiny bit obsessed with her hair stylist to schedule them whenever she just happened to be in new york, seeing as she actually LIVED in DC, but now i so completely understand.  so we'll see.  perhaps i'll look like a boy soon.  (don't worry - not quite that short.)

  • amanda, suketu, kelly and i went and walked around concord today.  i'd never been, kelly's only ever driven through, amanda hasn't been since she was 7, and suketu...i can't remember but i don't think he'd visited any time recently.  we parked near the train station and walked into town.  the perfect, quaint, little, historic new england town.  we stopped in at the toy store to browse around and cool off in the AC-controlled environment.  kelly bought a kite.  a big, black, shark-shaped kite, with little triangles for teeth that would flap in the wind.  it was awesome.

    we found a meadow (after some intense walking) - the perfect meadow.  tall grass and wild flowers, bordered by falling-apart stone walls, with a single, big old oak tree right in the middle.  it could've been a movie location or something.  the sky was all blue and speckled, with bright white, puffy clouds.  i could've stayed there for eternity i think.  i ran all through the grass with this kite, trying to get it up higher.  we decided after much deliberation that the wind was just too gusty.  still, i would've stayed forever, running through that meadow, trying to get the shark-kite to fly in the gusty wind.  but i'm not 5 anymore.  and anyway, i don't think my 5-year-old self would have appreciated the whole kite-flying-meadow thing quite as much as my current self - it would've just been another day of running around.  whereas this day was something a slightly bit out of the ordinary.  in fact, even a little...extraordinary.
