What a week...

Boy oh boy... where to start?

How about last week?

Friday - I joined Chris for his Friday night dinner party. It was really great to see some BU friends again - aside from those who show up to Rattlesnake. Post dinner we all headed out to... uh... where'd we go? Oh ya! Our House (um... the bar, not my house). Had several more drinks. Got into some political conversations. Talked to some cute british boy (for a friend - i was just trying to "keep him" until she could talk to him :) - such a cutie though!). Had some pizza on the way home - an allston bar outing tradition for me. finally crawled into bed around 1 am.

saturday - hopped on a bus to NY. Went straight from the bus "stop" to the Czech Beer Gardens in Astoria (oh, I stopped and bought really cute earings for $1 ea! ya, i love new york too). So, beer gardens - this awesome outdoor area with lots of picnic tables/benches and a huge afternoon drinking crowd. You just get pitchers, sit in the sun, and hang out with friends. We had a good time. When we left around 5 or so, the line to get in was practically around the corner. insane.

afterwards we went to a cafe-ish place (they had coffee, I had beer) - then home for a night of great conversations - and the a house party. Of course, on our way to the house party, Armen made it clear that he was going to lock the TOP LOCK so that he and Hasmig would both have a key (hasmig didn't have a key to the bottom lock). As he stepped into the hallway, he closed the front door behind him and it seems, as soon as it clicked shut, he remembered that he had locked the bottom lock and left the key inside.

Now, I'm sure you all know - you don't leave the house in NY at 9 pm. You leave close to midnight. And so, the landlord wasn't there - Armen didn't have his phone - Has didn't have his number. Fun stuff. So we went to the party and tried to stay out all night but around 4 am we were all too exhausted so we headed back and Armen made a heroic climb up the fire escape, past the sleeping naked neighbor's open window and up to their apartment. It was a sight to see. Fortunately , we didn't get the cops called on us. Unfortunately, we couldn't get the ladder back up! oopsie!

Sunday was a lazy day (afterall, we slept at 5). We had a nice little brunch then headed back to Armen/Hasmig's and I left later that afternoon. Good times :)

Yesterday was the 4th fireworks show. It was cold and wet and icky - but the show was spectacular! Oh and Mellencamp disappointed with his song choice! What happened to Jack and Diane?!?!?! Gr. But the hot dogs were delicious, the jets were cool, the fireworks were awesome and the experience was memorable! (yes, did you hear that, i said memorable - and i was drunk! if i remember something, it must be memorable).

Oh ya, and on Monday I went for a jog. You know whats sad... I work out so little that when I do I always find it blog-worthy. Sad. I know. But i must break that so i can get my abs in shape for Puerto Rico (yay!). Anyway, I went up and jogged around the reservoir. Sarah was right - it is gorgeous. The pink and blue sky with pretty fluffy white clouds reflected on the water - the sunset - the weather. It was a relaxing way to spend my early evening. If you're in the area, I recommend a jog there.

Okay, those are my updates. Sorry they're dry.

Oh ya, and... TORONTO TOMORROW! Armenchik, Andy, Paul and TATA... here we come :)
