boston highlights

back in boston to hang out with shereen and tristan and megan! it was trissy's birthday, so shereen and i made a traditional peanut butter creation: quadruple layered peanut butter cake with chocolate frosting!




delerium nocturnum at otherside.



cold and windy revere beach!



our trip was amazing: running, pilates with meggles, revere beach, arboretum, chicago's, otherside, bloc 11, plus the best part was big digits at tt's. and a surprising turn of events...shereen picked up a free magazine at revere beach and discovered that tristan da cunha was playing at pa's lounge. rex complex, which was playing with tristan da cunha, was AMAZING! shereen took pictures of rex complex on my camera.




sunshine on the institute. i never knew that the view of the river just outside of senior haus was so gorgeous!

being a doctor might be a miserable existence...

i'm starting to realize that being a doctor might be a miserable existence... BUT, i've also learned to enjoy life's small pleasures! here's a summary:

1. after anatomy finished at the beginning of october, i took out my cute sheets and blankets again!

2. then i was shopping at walmart (which i love to do b/c i feel like everyone hates walmart (b/c they are stupid and pretentious) and i just feel bad for it) and came across some awesome supplies and realized i needed to bring back the earring hanger! i had made one in my dorm room at mit, but the one i built last week (pictured below) is, without a doubt, AMAZING.



3. last week i started using my qoo lunch box and this week i started using my small hello kitty tote that is just about the size of a lunch for my...lunch!

4. tonight i rediscovered some cute pins i have!

5. and tonight i finally took pictures of the highlights of my CUTE room! photo-tour of my room begins here.

6. finally, since my last post, i've gone to some pretty good music! a couple weeks ago i went to see thee oh sees at the turf club. they were pretty good, but i REALLY liked one of the opening bands, skoal kodiak (who are local!). turns out turf club is a pretty great venue; they have a smaller stage downstairs and had a band (they were pretty good but i have no idea who they were) going while the upstairs was setting up between bands, which is pretty awesome for someone like me who was again alone and awkard at the show. i also think i like gay beast (also local), but have not seen them yet. AND! on tuesday i went to DEERHOOF! which confirms my theory that only asians can do cute. anyway, it was an amazing show.

the scarring party

last night i went to my first concert since moving up to minneapolis. there was a free show at the whole, which is a venue in the basement of the student union. i had never been, or heard of the bands, but the first band, the scarring party, from milwaukee, seemed worth checking out. the whole is actually a pretty decent venue, but since it is a university venue, there is no bar. which, doens't really bother me, i guess. unfortunately there were also not many people there...

but...

O_O the scarring party is AMAZING! i hate describing music, so just check them out or their myspace!
