Looks like some outsiders have begun to stumble upon this little website again. Excellent.

I'm more or less completely moved into my new place in the South End. I haven't spent much time there
yet as I've been working like a freakin' dog at one of my three jobs ever since the beginning of the
month. I'm happy to say that it's the most amazing place that I have ever lived in, though. I love
home, don't get me wrong - but it's hard to compete with a 4th floor apartment in one of Boston's
nicest neighborhoods, a spacious bedroom with brick walls, and a decent little view of Mass Ave without
the noise. I suppose anything would've been better than the pile of trash I lived in on Mission Hill,
but my roommates and I have really struck gold with our new place. Chalk one point up to the kid who's
had his car totaled, apartment broken into, and then subsequently burned down all within the past few
months.

Summer looks like it's gone for good and I couldn't be happier about it. While I had my fair share of
piss-poor luck since memorial day I've escaped with a new sense of overwhelming happiness. Right now
everything is as it should be. The weather's crisp and comfortable in Boston. I've broken out the
sweaters and I'm drinking hot coffee again. My apartment is a mere three minute walk from Marissa's.
I've begun working for my former employer once again and smile on my little 15 minute trek through
downtown to get here everyday. Long after I am through with this place, I will have fond memories of
it and directly equate it with the beginning of my "career" and Boston. I suppose Jan. 1 starts the new
year, but I think most 22 year old and below minds see early fall as the real new beginning. Take hold
ladies and gents, it's all happening.

Don't forget to pick up the new Decemberists album on tuesday. My gut tells me that it will be the
perfect anthem for early fall. Paul says Modest Mouse's new drummer has ruined the band. I'd seek out
some MP3's but I'm still internet-less at home and have no sound card here at the office. I suppose I'll find out eventually. --
