The week that was..

Solea was a a restaraunt that I went to this past week with people from work. It looked like a pretty cool place from the outside and we thought it might be a good place to find some girls. It also had a menu outside that said they had Churrasco Argentino with chimichuri, which is an Argentinian steak. I don't know why I keep believing places like this are actually going to have a "authentic" asado because they never do. The steak was just your normal american steak and the girls were non existent as well. I'm starting to believe that the Boston area is capital of the average looking girl and that is a problem.

This past week we also met our goals for sales and installations so Steve, my boss, decided to buy a barbeque and have a big lunch for all the technicians. Well the picture above shows why you shouldnt have the barbeque at your apartment. I really hate having everyone thing my apartment is the hangout spot. It just makes it so you never have anytime to just relax because everyone is always over watching TV or getting on the internet. Adam(roomate) and I spent at least an hour cleaning up after everyone because they leave it like the picture above and don't even care. I later found out that it was one of the wives who knocked over the garbage can and left it like this. I was for sure it was one of the guys.
This is a picture of me on the job being molested by a very friendly dog. What makes this so funny is not that the dog is going to town on my leg but that the same thing happened to Jared and Tyler on a job a couple of days before. I am just glad that my dog wasnt the bulldog that went buck nutty on those two.


Sunday is our only free day during the week and I normally head to the singles ward around 2 pm and then go sightseeing the rest of the day. Yesterday Jared, Adam, Tyler and I went up to Nahant it was a cool little town about 20 minutes North of Boston and its actually a small penisula. I was cool actually being at the ocean. I think it was my first time in probably 15 years. As you can see its still only about 65-70 degrees and nobody is actually on the beaches yet. Which yes was another downer, but I did have some pretty good scallops and so it was worth the drive.

Finally slowing down

Hello everyone, sorry I have been such a slacker on this blog. I am alive and I am going to try and update more often. I now know why Joel sometimes has 3 weeks breaks sometimes between his posts on his blog. I have been really busy with work. I had been working from 8:30 am to about 12:00 pm 6 days a week for almost 2 weeks in a row. Now they have brought in a few more guys to help handle the work load and things are starting to settle down. I should now be able to work normal hours of 2 in the afternoon til about 11:30 to as late as 1:30 am. Everything else is going well out here except that we have 4 extra guys sleeping on our couches and floors because their apartments wont be furnished until Tuesday of next week. Having 4 extra people really makes a nice apartment seem really small. I will be excited for Tuesday when they all leave.

Some of you might know about my past quest in getting vanilla frostys at Wendy's. I would always ask for a Vanilla frosty. When they said "We only have chocolate" I would answer with "I will take a twist then" which was followed by "We dont have a twist flavor" I then would follow with "do you have any seasonal flavors, like eggnog?" "No we only have chocolate!" I would then ask if they knew when they would be getting vanilla back in stock." and on and on it went. Well I couldnt have been more proud when one day about a year ago ask for a vanilla frosty and actually got one. Now they have mix and match frostys with oreo and m&m's but I think the chocolate frosty, coke float on the left it the king of all frosties. I didnt realize it was chocolate ice cream when I ordered it but it actually ended up pretty good.




This is my Kosher 2 liter of Mountain Dew. I am so glad that I can now buy Mt. Dew that has been blessed and prepared by a rabbi. That mark on the lid is a "K" and you can find all kinds crazy Kosher food here.














I took this picture in downtown Boston. Its a building sign on the Massachusetts State house. I guess they are just going to be honest with the "special benefits" that the people in office receive here. This would have made things so much easier on Elliot Spitzer and others. I guess the top guys in office would have their girls enter at the"elite hooker entrance" but I couldnt find that one.







And Since its official Sunday here in MA, I guess I should share my spiritual picture of the day. This is "Black Jesus" calming the seas with his 12 Hommies. I tried to take a picture of the "Last Supper star black Jesus and Black Mary but the lady came back in the room so I couldnt. Alright I'm headed to bed.
