May 28, 2008 : Thai Thai Kitchen
Discovered this place by accident, but would def go back again. The tom yum is a little watery, but the food is excellent and cheap! $6 for lunch... can't beat that. they also make the food in front of you. kind if feels like you're in thailand. ok, not really, but it's still fun.
May 25, 2008 : Cuchi Cuchi
Waited for an hour and half for our table. The food was good and the tables with heat sensors that would light up wherever your hands moved was very cool. But no food is worth waiting for so long. Two stars because I have better things to do with my life than wait for food. Do yourself a favor and make a reservation if you're planning on going here.
May 24, 2008 : Earthfest 2008
Nice sunny day to have earthfest. Cake was there!
May 24, 2008 : Moxie Outdoor Adventure & Lake Moxie Camps, Kennebec and Dead River Base
going here tomorrow with our friends. haven't been camping for a while so should be fun. we're scheduled for level 4 rafting, the scale being from 1-6 where 6 is the roughest so hopefully we won't all die.
May 23, 2008 : The Living Room Boston
went to the HSPH annual party. same place as last year. the food is just ok but the good looking servers in short shorts and tight t-shirts make up for it.
May 23, 2008 : Target Somerville
took a bit of wrangling but we were able to get a new bike. the person at customer service had a lot of attitude and acted all powerful, but in my mind i was like, chill - you work at target. plus you sold my bike by mistake.
but now i'm the proud owner of a brand new mountain bike (they didn't have any more road bikes *sniff). for a month, that is, which is how long we're staying in boston before getting outta here.
May 22, 2008 : Target Somerville
i took my bike to get a flat tire replaced at this target, but the fools sold it by mistake! going now to go get a refund or a new bike.
May 22, 2008 : Pierrot Bistrot Francais
awesome food as always. so glad this is right next to our apartment! there was a huuuge crowd tonight - some end of school party of sorts and one of them decided to regale the entire restaurant with her not-so-nice singing and provided mild amusement for us all.
May 22, 2008 : Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
was pretty awesome although mostly for nostalgic reasons than the movie itself. i don't know, it's probably because i'm older now, but it didn't feel as magical and exotic as the previous indiana jones movies. it's just a good fun time movie - nothing deep or particularly exciting. the fight scenes are funny and not expected to be taken seriously and at no point was i at the edge of my seat. the only exciting part of the movie was walking home at 3am after the midnight showing and worrying about getting mugged as we walked through the park back to our apartment.
May 17, 2008 : The Boston dParty
fun little party. the venue was really cute - it was a design office with nice gadgets and cool furniture.
May 16, 2008 : Finale Coolidge Corner
celebrated colette's last day of classes with sami. so proud of her. oh, and the dessert was pretty spectacular.
May 16, 2008 : Caught on Paper
omg. this place is amazing. too bad they wouldn't let us take pictures inside the museum. live music, good food and the garden - not sure if i've seen a nicer garden in my life. ok, maybe i have at Versailles or Vaux-le-Vicomte. but for boston this garden can't be beat. that old lady knew what she was doing. the whole place is a giant greenhouse and is kept at a constant temperature of 70 degrees which is almost as amazing as the garden and the art pieces themselves considering how large the place is. oh, and they're building a new wing designed by no other than renzo piano (one of my fav architects) himself next door to increase the space for the museum. will be interesting to see how the old (old by US standards = 100 years) and the incredibly new and modern architecture of renzo piano co-exist.
May 15, 2008 : Helmand Restaurant Cambridge
completely forgot that i've been to it's sister restaurant in san francisco! the food was excellent - would definitely go back again. make a reservation though - we had to wait an hour to sit (luckily there was a best buy next door to spend our time).
May 14, 2008 : Cafe Sol Azeteca - Newton
- close to the T
convenient. close to the T. food was good, would go back again.
May 14, 2008 : Zen Sushi Bar
nice atmosphere. convenient location. you can get better sushi other places though - the sushi was just ok (although the spicy noodle soup was pretty darn good).
May 13, 2008 : Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
can't wait!!
