oh boy, let’s go to boston!

have a work meeting out there monday, so i’m taking the opportunity to fly out a day and a half early to hang with gabe and alexis. apparently there’s a rumor that matt’s coming up from NY too. as you can see from the birthday pictures still hanging out a few posts below, these are people i usually have a good time with. what good luck that my job is sending me out to get to see them again already. i’ve only been to boston once, for a few days back in college, so it’ll be interesting to compare impressions.

speaking of work, it’s been really busy and sorta stressful, but really interesting to be doing so much every day. the only real problem is later nights and less time for after-work exercise. it’s tough to go to the gym when you don’t get home until 7 or 8 and it’s dinner time already, and no one wants to hop on a treadmill after dinner.

i have squeezed in the time to do some writing in the past month that i’m pretty proud of though, so if you’re interested there are thoughts on fallout 3, animal collective, and chuck klosterman’s latest book over at under culture. a video game, an album, and a book. need a movie review to complete the round robin.

oh that’s right, we’re only two weeks from WATCHMEN. expect at least one article on that to come. otherwise i could write a whole love letter to all the special features on the Wall E disc, which blew me away. last weekend i spent a whole night drinking beers and watching all three hours or so of that shit, and it was great. you can’t beat a nice nerd-buzz combo.
