celebrating 30 days of silence. or, HOLY COW!
All those promises to blog more often, and every single time, I peter out like a rally for narcoleptic rights.
But this time?
I had an excuse.
I up and moved to Boston.
BOSTON.
IN THE UNITED STATES.
OF AMERICA.
THE EASTERN PART.
HOLY COW!
Right now, I’m sitting on the sofa next to Gradon, watching the Celtics trail slightly in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals, and eating a green popsicle in their honor (NOTE: I LEFT OUT THE “U”)
It’s LOVELY to be here, spending more time with him. I cannot say just how lovely it really is.
Also lovely?
My job at Sametz Blackstone Associates, a brand-focused communications consultancy in the South End of Boston. My official title is “Business Development Associate”, which means I help spread the word about what we do at Sametz — and why we do it — so more organizations and companies can communicate more effectively about who they are and what they do to the people who matter most to them.
I also do lots of social media and content stuff, including contributing to the company blog.
Also? I sit in my office on the fourth floor and gaze at a certain bakery that’s a block away, trying not to gain some sort of osmotic weight by close proximity to pounds and pounds and pounds of butter.
And as if that weren’t enough, I also contribute on Fridays to my beloved’s design blog.
The rest I’ll have to tell you in point form:
I miss my mom and dad, who were unbelievably supportive of me in the months leading up to my move, when I was waiting on a work visa, and cooking elaborate dinners to work off my tension. I will always be thankful for the time I got to spend in their home, enjoying their hospitality, and just, well… hanging out. They are the loveliest people on the whole planet.
My feet are like un-pedicured hooves. Cobblestones are MEAN. These are MEAN STREETS. I have SCORCESE FEET.
I had to give up my iPhone because AT&T wouldn’t transfer it over, and I can’t open up a new account with them until I have like, 45 states tattooed on my body. Okay, it’s not that bad… but WOE TO THE COMPANY WHO STANDS BETWEEN ME AND MY APPS.
I have a Droid phone now. I always felt my first Droid should be R2D2, but you take what you can get.
I think I need more clothes. Boston? Stylin’ town. Well, most of it.
I’m looking forward to seeing more of the city around me as time goes on, but for now, I do workin’, commutin’ (just a bit, but with Boston’s bizarrely antique transit system, everything is a commute), and hangin’ with Gradon and his boys on the weekends.
And that?
IS AWESOME.
