#Boston Mass

I’ve gotten quite a few compliments on this photo while at work and home, so I guess I’ll share it here. I took this photo back in August to show that my friend and I survived our first Fan Expo experience. We were out of the house for an entire day; 4:30am-11pm. The convention ended at 5pm, and we waited an hour for the bus back home.

The Pawn Shops Are Closing

“A True Way To Do Things”

    You step into some sort of “spotlight” and you attempt to do something that you try to justify its “originality” even though it’s been done before, not only that, it’s been done before and done before and done before but you attempt to do it in a different way, you’re going to be begged for the formula, they’re gonna ask you how you did it and you’re gonna smirk and shrug. And you’re going to be wrecked in the ridicule.

Unless of course you already made us millions of dollars. After all, we consider greatly the artistic ability of the already proven method.

Cheers, baby.

    “You don’t know what you’re talking-talking-about, I’ve had so many call-blacks. I mean backs. That asshole from Howard Stern. He stutters. I’ve been bad but I’ve been good, scholars be damned.”

    “Yeah. But you’re fucked, bud.”

    Too many people laughed. Too many people had a problem they were squishing against the back of their memories. It “worked”, in so many ways. Our group sufficed, let’s guess.

    Dr. Emma stood up, the only chair in the room that didn’t wobble when she did. Everyone in the circle noticed. They deserved better. They were royalty, after all.

    “I’m Dr. Emma Danza. No relation, of course. That would be of the most irony. Ha-Ha. Anyway, I’m here to council, but, I feel as though that is not anywhere near what I have actually learned. I am here to listen, to laugh, to…cry, to grow with all of you…and…yes?”

    A woman dressed as a mime raised one hand and cupped the other over her mouth. Everyone else looked back and forth to see who would laugh first. Thankfully, mimes aren’t funny at all and no one was even close to even smirking.

    “We’re here, to no slight of anyone, to address the fact that you have all…changed…”

    Dr. Emma Danza (no relation) checked her stack of papers, to put a face to a profile. It was different, studying and “practicing”, for the people in front of her were also needles in their own piled haystacks. Where to start?

    “It just says, ‘the mime’,” Dr Emma Danza (no relation) said, looking up briefly,  “I’ll assume that’s you.”

    The mime nodded with sass.

    “I’m not here to tell you that this gimmick has been run into the ground. You’re just supposed to come to that conclusion on your own.”

    Everyone laughed. The mime put her head down.

Some good news:

Two days ago, Massachusetts signed off on their fiscal budget, which makes community college completely free for all citizens.

"Last year, we created MassReconnect - free community college for students 25 and older - and gave thousands of people another shot at degrees they put on pause... This year, I signed a budget that builds on that success and makes community college free - for everyone." - Gov. Maura Healey

Sembrich Corsets were a brand of corsets that were sold by R.H. White & Co., a department store that was located in Boston, Massachusetts in the late 19th and early 20th century. The store was known for its high-quality merchandise and elegant displays, and it was a popular destination for fashionable women of the time.

took the bus to work today … *swerves across four lanes of Boston traffic to get to the bus stop*

rode boston metro for the first time in while.

the red line was good, i rode it for 20-30 minutes in and out of boston. we only had to stop for couple minutes to let another train out the station.

the green line was less good. we came to multiple complete multi minute stops during my ride from two almost consecutive stops (there was only one stop in the middle)

although, for all my bitching, the green line wasn't terrible. the wood paneling and the fact that is two feet off the station floor gave it some charm.

in all, you did okay, mbta. would (and probably will) ride again.

As one of the most streamed TV series of 2023, The Last Of Us sparks new curiosity with every new episode. And definitely, Episode 2 gave particular attention to the location where the protagonists are: Joel, Tess, and Ellie need to meet with the Fireflies, and the only way available seems to be what Joel calls “the museum”: the group enters into a building named “the Bostonian Museum,” and people are curious to understand what this place is. Let’s find out.
