Reading...

Ok for anyone who knows me, even a little bit, you know I don't like to read. I'd much rather watch TV or use my computer or anything. But I found this book in the computer room at my parents around christmas time and it was called "Remember Me?" by Sophie Kinsella (she wrote "Confessions of a Shopaholic"). It was a great book! I absolutelty loved it. It played out like a chick flick which is why I think I liked it so much, I love love looove chick flicks, even the really bad ones! I am now on my third book written by her, THIRD book in ONE month!! This is insane! I guess you just have to find that one arthur you can't put down.

Hot Stove Cool Music.

So last week I went to the Hot Stove Cool Music Concert at the House of Blues. The Hot Stove Cool Music proceeds directly benefit Foundation To Be Named Later’s extraordinary Non Profit Partners: Roxbury Youthworks, West End House Boys and Girls Club, BELL, City Year, Citizen Schools, Room To Grow, Steps To Success, The Home for Little Wanderers, Horizons for Homeless Children, Molo Care.

Just to name a few people that were there : Theo Epstein and his band. Bronson Arroyo and his band. Peter Gammons and his band. MC Mike O’Malley. Bill Janovitz. Ken Casey from the Dropkick Murphys. Kay Hanley from Letters of Cleo. State Radio. The Low Anthem. Tinted Windows (with members of Hanson, Cheap Trick, Smashing Pumpkins, Fountains of Wayne) Kevin Youkilis stopped by. It was unbelievable! I couldn’t believe I was there. And the music was awesome! Not usually what I’m in to but i was digging it!

Anyways so this was my first concert I’ve ever shot so don’t judge to photos too harshly. But let me know what you think and feel free to leave some pointers in case I happen to do another show. Here’s what I shot!

doing laundry?

Ok so I’m almost 21 years old and for the first time tonight I did laundry on my own. I know I know it sounds crazy right a 20-year-old who doesn’t know how to do laundry. Well, one of the bonuses to living at home is having your laundry done for you, having dinner made for you, not having to pay rent, utilities, groceries, etc. I lived away from home for a year and did all that (or most of it haha) I had a little help in some departments. Let me just say coin operated washer and dryers are much easier haha. So back to the point of this, I used my mom’s “fancy” washing machine by myself tonight. To some this may seem silly but to me it’s quite the accomplishment.
