Different day, same kinda crap. Can you believe I have nothing to do... again? I'm trying to be proactive but I think I've pushed the limits for this job. I even went to Ikea this morning for breakfast (hooray for $1 breakfast!). Really there is only so much I can do and I have exhausted all pathways that lead to more work. Oh what the hell am I going to put on my timesheet?

So this long weekend I took a much needed trip away from the city to Boston. I headed down with the gang (Jimmy, Saloni and Jenn). This was my 3rd trip there and by far this was the funnest time. Possibly because the first time I went to Boston I went with my parents, and the second time it was a school trip. We decided to leave early Saturday early morning at 4am. We figured we would not hit any border traffic that early but man were we wrong! We must have waited 1h at the border! It took us roughly 10hrs of driving to get there. Poor Saloni drove the entire way! When we got to Boston, we met up with Bashar and his friend Neil @ the hotel, then off to downtown Boston we went! The first thing we did (besides eat lunch) was go on a brewery tour. Bashar called this the best brewery tour he's ever been on and I would have to agree with him. The tour started off with you going into a room with a glass wall and a bar. Beyond the glass wall was the fermenters. We took a look at the fermenters through the glass wall, then proceeded to the bar for our "sample" of beer. We got a 15 min talk about the beer, and more drinking. All free. Awesome! Can't beat free beer!! :D After that we walked around the city, did half the Freedom Trail (it is this path marked by two rows of red bricks that takes you around to different historical sites in Boston), and ended the night at The Barking Crab for some good seafood and of course, clam chowder!

The next day we took a tour of Fenway Park. When I went to ask this guy working there how much the tour costs, he asked me if I was 14 & under. LOL do I really look that young? That was by far my laugh for the day! haha! the Fenway Park tour was pretty good! We got to sit up on the Green Monster (Jimmy even defaced it... he wrote "Jimmy was here, July 2, 2006". The tour guide caught him and accused him of being a Yankees fan.. which was funny b/c he's neither a Bo-Sox or Yanks fan...haha jokes on him!). After our Fenway tour we hit up Newberry St for some well deserved shopping. Pretty sad.. the guys bought more than the gals :S What are the chances of that happening! But we made up for it the next day when we hit up Bath and Body Works :D

The last day we were there we went up to Deer Island and chilled on the beach. Too bad I didn't bring a bathing suit cuz the weather was perfect! I really want to live in Boston now! So much to do. I guess the grass is always greener on the other side...

Sucked.. I was the only one that had to work the next day. Boo for me!

Ooh lunchtime! :D
