A Day in Boston

Well, I didn't get myself a record player today. No sirree, I went hunting for different game. My brave band of hunters and I set out at the second stroke of the clock after noon, slipping through the urban wastelands, striding from train to train, platform to platform, pursuing a single objective with almost fanatical determination.

And then, we found it.
9 Dollars later, I became the proud owner of a rather nice jacket. I love second hand stores.

For anybody in the Boston area with a few dollars to spare and a will for a jacket (or shirt/pair of jeans/dress), check out the Garment District on Broadway in Cambridge. Lots of cheap, good clothes. There is even one section with clothes just lying around in piles on the floor, where you purchase by the pound (at the rate of a dollar a pound, I believe). An interesting place, if nothing else.

Pick of the Day? Zack found a Brandeis sweatshirt on one of the racks, which Katherine then bought (partially for posterity, but primarily for her boyfriend).

We then left the store with our spoils and went in search of fine dining, which we then found at Bartley's Burger Cottage in Harvard Square, where we enjoyed large burgers and a multitude of fries. This glorious culinary experience was topped off with a visit to Harrell's Ice Cream, where rather scrumptious feats of icecreamage can be obtained.


What happens now? Well, plans are in the making for a Halo party soon - or rather, several Halo parties. The first will be small - only two Xbox units linked up - but we hope to have a rather large 16 player bash in the foreseeable future.
Humayun - come here and we'll hold one in your honour.


Also being planned is an authentic DnD game in our hall (Rags will be proud). I have decided to be the cleric or the mage, having the most necessary attribute for the job (namely, Intelligence - well, according to Morrowind, at any rate). We were supposed to start tonight, but our Dungeon Master was called away on urgent business (i.e. he abandoned us, the fewl).


My kingdom for a record player!

Note: Ravi Shankar concert tomorrow. Also, my mom is now officially one year older.
