Uht oh....

Well... if I wasn't scared enough as it was, that last post managed to freak me out so much that I cannot put this off any longer. I've been working for almost half a year now which sounds ridiculous now that I say it.

On that note, Fall has been by far the busiest I've been since I graduated. Early September I had this wild dinner party with a bunch of really cool people most of whom I never get to see or hang out with, but it was fun.

Later in September "Phantom of the Opera" came to the Detroit Opera House. I think I had already seen it twice now, but both times I was relatively young so I ended up going again with the family. It was a really good time, we ate at this restaurant called Pegasus and I had the best Hummus (no reference intended) I've ever had.

So more recently, as in 2 days ago, I got back from a vacation in Boston. The main point of the trip was to spend time with some good friends who I miss a lot, but we ended up eating tons of food and having some pretty good adventures. Since I know how much the majority of you reading this love food I'll elaborate on this a little. Basically each day sort of fell into a category. Day 1 we went to Chinatown where we basically just ordered a bunch of food for the table... dumplings, seafood and tofu hot pot... yada yada. Pretty delicious. A couple other highlights were North Boston, which had excellent Italian food, but even better pastries. We stopped at this shop known for their Cannoli. It was really cheap and really delicious and I probably could've gone there everyday if I had the opportunity and wasn't worried about exploding.
One interesting restaurant was this place called Parish Cafe. The whole premise behind the place is that their entire menu features specialties off of other menus from around Boston. Seems kind of like cheating, but the place was always packed and it definitely promoted dining all around the area. The final place I'm going to include because I know it'll make certain people jealous is this Indian restaurant we went to called Tantric. The food had tons of taste to it and they didn't hold back on the spice, always a good thing. They had really good Naan too.

As far as activities went... there was a lot of talking, a decent amount of drinking, some other stuff... One highlight was definitely kayaking between Boston and Cambridge. Maneuvering through sailboats wasn't recommended, but it was something we couldn't resist. Near the end it got really windy and the waves started picking up, so I ended getting pretty soaked which... kinda sucked but whatever. Got us thinking of a great idea though. Open this kayak place where they give you a boat, a map, and a bottle of rum, and somewhere out in the middle of somewhere we have this booey with a bunch of coins attached, and if you bring one back, the rum is free. Perfect idea yes?

Enjoy your reading for the day.

PS There's no way I'm grammar checking that.
