...it's halfway through it

So by all accounts it's been a crazy winter. So far it's been record snow fall records for a single day and for the month. Boston has welcomed me with weather as bad as can get and I have survived.

I have learned so much about living in cold weather...the biggest change being that I now goto the gym more as opposed to walking home all the time. Oh yeah, I've learned the real reason why old people move to Florida from here. It's really easy to bust your ass on the ice out here. I haven't fallen yet but it's bound to happen eventually.

In other news I probably have to get braces...the Tom Cruise similarities keep coming :) <--brace-face.

Some pics:






Some party and post-party pics. That place was like the Nakatomi building....Yippie-Kai-Yae



It started with the Lake Freezing...somehow I found this fascinating.

Oh look, how cute it snowed a bit.


Yay, a reason for the cold!


WTH!? This is pretty much how it's been for the last month!

I saw a band called Fucked Up at the Middle East. The show was great, highlighted by when the large singer jumped up and grabbed a ceiling pipe, only to have the pipe burst and spray out water...
