Everything and then some

As promised a longer entry about the Turkey Massacre Break

Tuesday:
Dropped a friend off in Rome (NY) and started the long freaking drive back to Concord. Things I observed along the way:

Students with Mass plates will set a speed around 80 when they initially start out, however the closer they get to the MA border, the faster and faster they go. Do people from Massachusetts really hate NYState all that much….my conclusion after talking to people the answer is YES.

Massachusetts drivers get more and more aggressive the closer they get to the MA border. 6 words for all of you: Don’t Get In Our Fucking Way. They don’t call people from Massachusetts MassHoles for nothing. We take our nickname and earn it

Ok back to the story. The exit from the Pike to Worchester was backed up for about a mile, normally this wouldn’t piss me off all that much, but when I finally got around the corner to the toll-booth, the fucking fast-lane had no one in it…WTF??? I waited in 15 minutes of traffic because people couldn’t get out of my way so I could my fast-lane pass (I hate all of you fuckers…for NY people FastLane=EZpass).

Off the Pike now, Worchester was initially fine then after I got ½ way through and the traffic stopped. If I got out of my car and walked on my hands I could have gone faster. This happened again when I was trying to get onto 495 (except this backup lasted for about 5 miles).

Home, food, bottle of wine, bed.

Wed:
I don’t remember what I did this day, and that is probably a good thing. I probably was working on my Graphics project, but once again that’s a bit of a guess. Foods, wine, phone with friends, bed.

Thursday:
This is the day I dread. Getting together with my father’s sister’s family. Its not his sis and the husband I mind so much, its their oldest son and his wife. They won’t accept the fact that they are wrong. She is a vegetarian and makes everything miserable for the rest of the family because we can’t use recipes we normally use. They talk about everything that they are doing and won’t let anyone else get a word in edgewise. Dad’s sis picked out the wine for the meal…one word CRAP. I’ve tasted wine that cost less than 5 dollars a bottle that was better than the piss they served. Next time I BRING THE DRINKS.

Friday:
Again I can’t remember much of this day. There was probably a long fire though

Saturday:
I’ve looked forward to this day for the past week. Getting together with Evan, Phil, Meg and Meg’s boyfriend. We spent a couple of hours at the MFA looking at the Rembrandt exhibit and then wandering through the permanent collections. If anyone has a free moment and you are in Boston go see the Rembrandt exhibit (in the middle of the week, its crowded on the weekends). Dinner at some awesome Sushi place I should have taken a picture of the sign (Meg what was the name of the place). Back to Meg’s BFs apartment for some talking, games and then I had to go back to Concord .

For the record, Phile Evan and I went to the same highschool(boarding) for three years, Loomis Chaffee. Actually we lived in the same dorm for those 3 years so we got to know eachother pretty well. Technically Evan spent four years there, but who really cares. For this reason, conversation during dinner was a trip down memory lane :-)

Sunday:
More time in the fucking car. That more or less sums it up.

I can’t find my Photoshop CDs, so until either (1) I buy a new copy (2) I ‘borrow’ someone else’s copy or (3) I find my copy, pictures won’t be up. They just take up too much space. They are about 2MB a piece, and I don’t think Reid who is hosting my blog would appreciate it if I started dumping 100MB of pictures onto his server.
