Thank the Lord for addictive games. Am now hooked on Travel IQ Challenge, which is both educational and intense. And also reveals just how ignorant I am.
Thank the Lord for the bounty of Bo' alumni in the area. They make life much easier. On Sunday night, with a nor'easter brewing, I crashed at Lisa's place so I wouldn't have a treacherous commute the next morning. Then last night, went with Killer to the Bo' Connections networking event, where we did not network (no one wanted to offer anything or even talk to us anyway. "Networking events" are mostly opportunities for business/law folks to find interns for cheap and the rest of us to hang out. Though we did dispense advice to seniors and even more eager underclassmen, who naively believed that we could help them. There were even a few 2011's in the crowd- they didn't make 11's when I went to school) but saw alums aplenty. But since the food there was not aplenty, we all went out afterwards for food and drinks that did not cost $11 per glass. The biggest tease was that it all felt so natural. A group of us classmates, friends, and fellow Boston research assistants piling into a pub. Except that it was a work night, so no one stayed past eleven. And instead of heading to Supersnacks afterward, we all went home. Well, people with reasonable commutes went home. I crashed at Leash and Priscilla's. They have an awesome futon, sketchy stain not withstanding.
