Today I uploaded the last of the Italy pictures, and they are all online now, for your enjoyment. You can see them here. Of course, none of them are labeled. That's the next step. And then the travel diaries (you still want to hear about the trip, right?). And then figuring out which of the 650ish pictures I want prints of, and in what size. So... don't expect this to be the last you hear about Italy.
In the meantime, I have (sorta) been doing other things with my life, although work is doing its best to get in the way of that (I seriously just put the suitcases from both my trip to the Poconos and to Italy away this past weekend - really). A sampling:
- Dan came into town the weekend after I got back from Italy (no rest for the weary), so he, Kathy and I took a sunset cruise around the Boston Harbor on a tall ship and ate at The Omni Parker House (Parker House rolls! Schrod! Boston Creme Pie! Port!). Dan and I also went to Castle Island (where Fort Independence was closed, despite what they told me on the phone), toured an Argentinian training vessel (the largest tall ship in the world - awesome) and ate at the Legal Test Kitchen. I capped off the weekend by driving down to Providence for carrot cake, and then driving to Newport where we ate at The Black Pearl. I also have a ton of pictures from that weekend (I was still clearly in tourist mode), which will get uploaded eventually.
- I saw an outstanding performance of The 39 Steps by the Huntington Theatre Company at the Boston University Theatre. I love theatre, and this one was a real treat - very well performed.
- One of my coworkers who I adore left, so we went out of an evening of drinks and appetizers. I miss having her around.
- My roommate had a birthday! This past Saturday we went out to celebrate at the bar her brothers works at (don't remember the name, but it's near Kenmore Square), where three of her friends also celebrated birthdays. There was the Red Sox game and cupkaes. Afterwards, we went briefly to another bar, and then ended up getting pizza in Central Square (this was not our intention at first, and I do not advise walking from Kenmore to Central Squares in heels) before taking a cab home. I hadn't had a late night out in awhile, so it was a nice treat (though I was of course exhausted the next day, that part I don't like).
- Went out for girls' night with Kristen and Cheryl a couple of weeks ago. We went out for sushi at Takemura in Harvard Square, saw Eastern Promises and then met up with Cecilia for ice cream at Herrell's and caught up on each other's lives.
And that's pretty much it, except for work. I bought some tickets, made some reservations for the next couple of months. I'm... evaluating things at work (that's the best way to put it) since I hit the 6-month mark, and that was the time period I set for my evaluation (is this what I really want? what's my future here? etc....). I'm looking forward to the trip to NYC, which is going to include dinner at Gordon Ramsay at The London, the BU-Cornell hockey game at MSG, and apparently a full English breakfast.
Hopefully things will calm down soon (ha! I always say that and things pretty much never change) and I can actually write about the trip (and add some details to my photos - they're currently labeled things like "Italy2007 1067").
