Voulez vous ...

So, it's been a while. Wow, some things have happened.
My sister and my parents came up to visit last week. Both came at different times and within three days of each other. Go figure. That's just our way. My sister came for a weekend and I got to hang out with her and some of her friends from work. The opportunity to visit came up because of work, but she herself was not working. We just spent most of time chilling and eating. Wow, did we eat?
As if that wasn't enough eating, my parents visited mid-week and we ate some more. We did get out and see a little more. We went to Salem, Gloucester, and Rockport. It was nice to get out into some of the little seaside towns. We also visited the Witch Museum in Salem. As a former museum employee, it's not the greatest exhibit. But as a visitor, it's pretty entertaining. If you want good seafood though, there's really no need to go all that way; you can find a pretty amazing restaurant right in East Boston, called Off the Boat Seafood. Oh. My. God. It is without a doubt the BEST seafood restaurant that I've ever been too. It's all Italian dishes and served with a nice crusty bread. You wouldn't believe it was that good if you saw the neighborhood, but it was damn good. Even my parents thought so and they are hard to please when it comes to food.
Basically, I just got some quality time with them and I'm glad that they came.
I have friends going through massive changes in their lives. I think of them often. It's a great reminder that sometimes life can really throw you for a loop.
I haven't had a soda since I last posted. Yay me!
I just got an email from my "Return of Sauron" video collaborator. He has an idea for another short and asked me if I would like to collaborate on the script. I was really flattered and said that I would love to. So here's hoping that there will be more of me on the World Wide Interweb.
Work has slowed a little, but I'm still working hard to stay on top of things. Also, just checking out my options these days.
I'm trying to find the motivation to move on to new things, whether it be studying for the GMATs or going out with friends or getting back on match.com. My sister sent me a job listing that she found for the Smithsonian, and it really did seem right for me. And it reconfirmed for me, that I don't want to move. I like it here and I think I'd like to stay.
Meanwhile, I'm thinking of visiting Montreal next month.
