Boston in October
November 30th, 2009
my heart has been irreverently displaced by something very small. its tiny, pulsating force seemed so harmless in the beginning, but i can ascertain for now that my feelings have truly been hurt. isn’t it weird? i have no right to feel like this. i should be trying to finish all the work that i allowed to sit and curdle over the long thanksgiving weekend. but this is bringing back a lot of horrible sensations from 2003 that i can’t seem to fight away alone. i just want someone to make this better :(
pictures from boston, when joe and i went to visit dominic:
#1 dom’s very waspy suburban neighbourhood
#2 fall colors, all gone by now
#3 it has been my lifelong dream to climb onto a mailbox and take pictures
#4 but that picture didn’t come without a very ungraceful behind-the-scenes process
#5 success! after many, many tries where i trampled all over poor dom
#6 a slightly more graceful picture
#7 then joe decided to copy me. to add insult to injury, all he did was swing himself atop the mailbox T_____T
#8 mine now :)))))
#9 sunset spilling over the Charles River. i wish we’d had the time to walk along the river :( this photo was taken from inside a moving train
#10 dom took us to Quincy Market for dinner. it reminds me of some place in melbourne, just as bustling and with as many good smells
#11 joe and his lobster dinner. i dont think i’ve ever seen him so happy
#12 this picture happened because i squealed, “joe! let me take a picture of your mussels!!” -____-
#13 it’s a real place after all
#14 at the train station
#15 you know how sometimes you fall into these moments, and you feel like you must capture it in a photo… but as you are deliberating whether or not it would be polite to snap a picture, the people shift, and your moment is gone?
#16 for the first time i deliberated faster
#17 dinner with the very pretty xiao and her roommate ashley :)
#18 would you spend your dollar on mints or a tampon?
#19 our relative feet size
#20 i keenly apologize to all feminists in advance, but i was very drawn to the creative for this poster. at some point i announced, “she is all the marketing that harvard needs!”
#21 there is something about supermarkets that defeats their sterility
#22 i have never taken a newspaper from those stands. one day i must
#23 a house somewhere in the midst of the place where people go to get lost in boston

su ann how can u not take newspaper from those stands? every stand has a diff newspaper isit? OMG i cant believe im excited thinking about diff newspaper stands.
and its for FREE! the only free newspaper we get here is.. the sun :( and for some reason i dont like it cuz the articles arent as good or in depth as the star :(

Your pictures are gorgeous. :)
May I ask what sort of camera do you use?
In any case, Happy belated Thanksgiving!
4. reallybites | November 30th, 2009 at 3:53 am
eh i just noticed the library thingi at your sidebar! so cool! but why only 2 books!
5. kiasu andrew | November 30th, 2009 at 4:11 am
tampons = obvious reasons
mints = making out, maybe more
6. michelle | November 30th, 2009 at 4:22 am
i really admire you for taking such pictures. on the postbox, on the sign posts, on top of a red car, in a supermarket, in a bookshop…
may i ask, are you the sort of person who takes risks? :) just curious.
7. Artie | November 30th, 2009 at 4:32 am

Aaaaaaaaaaaa!! I want to go traveling too! Haha you know the girl you said you were when 12 reading blogs of 21 year old girls? Well in this case I’m the 12y/o and you’re the 21 y/o.
Except I’m 17. And I can’t wait to see the world.
You know how happy times never seem to last long enough? Well, the bad moments don’t last either. -hugs-

anyway, is the picture of the row of newspaper stands is near havard square? because the brick fenced in and colonial building looks so familiar.
