Heat = melted brainWith the summer’s second official heat wave, we have reached the point where it’s too hot for Julie to want to do much of anything. I spent Saturday and Sunday entombed in my house, where the a/c was on energy saver at 82*. It was that high (1) because Con Ed owns my soul and (2) because there were power outages in every neighborhood around mine, and I wasn’t sure that mine was going to be the exception forever. I resent Con Ed very much these days. I have a geriatric kitteh, Con Ed, so the a/c stays on. And you bill me more every month for unreliable service. NOT COOL. I promised you a post about Boston, but I can’t keep my mind on any one thing long enough to write coherently about it. So you will get snippets of Boston. I like it very much – I could totally picture myself living there. And the fact that I got to hang out with Aimee and Sloth all the time while I was there? Made it even better. We packed a fair amount of stuff into the five days that I was there, and there was so much more that we didn’t get a chance to do. I’ll definitely be going back. I do have some great memories of the trip, though: eating chowder with Aimee at Quincy Market, the Benjamin Franklin walking tour I took, walking past the Green Dragon Tavern (where the Sons of Liberty met and planned revolution), seeing Craig Ferguson recite the Pledge of Allegiance on the 4th of July, the party in Dorchester where I discovered that champagne goes with everything, dinner at Sloth’s house…the list goes on and on. I was going to put pictures into the post, but apparently my happy Flickr plugin isn’t playing nicely with the blog today. So instead, I will give you the entire Boston Photoset. Have fun. Coming soon, fiber progress. Because there has been a fair amount of it despite the heat. You all can thank Plurk for that – since I hang out (virtually) with knitters all day, I knit and spin and stuff now. 9 comments to Heat = melted brain |

One of these days, I want to visit Boston – where I’ll probably disappear into the NEHGS building and never come out, being a genealogy nut.. {g}
Jane~Oh, I walked past that! That was one of the things that I thought would be really cool to do, but we ran out of time.
I don’t know what’s up with all the fiber love, but I’m getting asked to knit more often than to soap these days! It’s even allowed me to squee aloud when my favorite yarn hookups have sales–the PS doesn’t bitch me out for coming home with 5 lbs. of cotton worsted because he knows he won’t be looking at it for long, just until I knit it off and someone else’s husband gets to do the bitching because his wife bought 5 pounds of shit I knitted for her.
~Shrugs~ Works for me.
PENNY PIE!! Great pictures, Julz. I like how you snuck my Limulus polyphemus in there…
I’ll be in Boston in the fall (October)! Can’t wait. You can come visit me if you need an excuse to go back.
Did you get a chance to take a tour of the Constitution? The Wife and I spent a day walking the Freedom Trail on our honeymoon AGES ago and had a lot of fun.
Pandora~That sounds like an awesome deal. All the fun of knitting up a stash without a stash!
Sloth~I wanted to get a picture of you without getting a picture of you, oh mysterious Slothy one.
Like my “Maid” ones? Those were experiments with the flash…
Vince~Did not get to the Constitution and only walked part of the Freedom Trail. Next time.
I didn’t realize you just got back from Boston. I’m enjoying it so far although I’ve only been here half a day.
Nancy~I was there from July 2-7 and fell in love with it. I will never again go over the 4th of July, since it was crowded as hell, but I had a great time.
Heat, for me, = a lawn that looks like a hay field.
You really are a farmgirl at heart, Julez. I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who has such a traditional heart when it comes to crafts.
I’m glad you enjoyed your trip to Boston!
