buzzing afternoon

i complain a lot about boston... the cold, the lack of KB and In-n-Out... but really, i love this city. it's one of the nation's oldest cities, is a bus ride away from NYC, and has no sales tax on clothes. and really, who can't love a city where you can walk down a street, pass a wine store, and find that that wine store is having a free wine tasting?! yum... free wine. it definitely perked me up from having to take a final on a saturday. peace, joy and happiness. =)

the final stretch

May 10th!

Save the date people, that is the day the Kim shall be returning to her warm and sunny home in the West. There will be hugs, there will drinks, there will be KB!

After living in Boston for almost two years, I finally made it to NYC. The first time was during Spring Break with Phil. We spent the day walking (a lot) and exploring. To fulfill my KB needs, we had it for both lunch and dinner. 'Twas good, but definitely did not match up to LA's. Maybe we didn't go to the right restaurants. We walked around Midtown a bit (NY's K-town), but we were unable to find all you can eat, which as this humble Californian knows, is the pinnacle of KB dining.

The second time I went to NYC was with Kressler this past week. My dear mokroopal paid me a visit and we heartily enjoyed shopping and eating in NY for day. During her visit, we did mucho walking and shopping. Kressler came during just the right time, as the weather was pretty nice, and the day after she left, the weather turned to crap again! Thanks for visiting Kressler!!! =)

There were many concerts on the schedule this year, however, the highlight was Death Cab for Cutie. After many attempts, I FINALLY got to see them. They were quite the awesome, as were Franz Ferdinand, of whom Death Cab opened for. I love me some good concerts, but I think I've reached saturation and will need a mini-break for awhile... at least a month. =)

Also in the good shows category, WICKED! OMG, what a freaking great show. From the music, to the story and the characters, this musical is one of my top five now. Le sigh... if I hadn't gone out directly afterwards, I would've bought a whole bunch of souvineir crap.

And speaking of going out, this past semester has exploded with drunken nights and good times. No complaints here, of course, although, I think my liver doth protest.

The marathon of exams has ended, but in less than a week will be the frenzy that is finals week. And just to drive us all a little nuttier, I have an exam every day of the week. BOO! However, it will all be worth it. Another year down, tres mas to go.

Mmmm... I can practically taste the KB. So again, so you won''t forget to set aside some quality debauchery time with your favorite Bostonian:

May 10th! Be there, or be oblong! =)
