Weekend Recap

Friday I took my AAS exam, which was a lot of essay writing, but tolerable. Then I walked down to the Commuter Rail Station in downtown Natick and headed into Boston and got off a the "Back Bay" Station which was where I was headed by the station is actually closer to Copley Square. So I walked down to the square and got on the greenline and got off one stop later at the Virgin Megastore, where I hit up a great sale they were having, then I got back on the T and got off at Fenway and met my cousin Matt at the AMC Fenway, where we saw the New World which was very good, but not for everyone, it's a visual masterpiece but unfolds with little dialogue most of which was voice over but amazing cinematography (from Director of Photography Emmanuel Lubezki whose cinematography for Sleepy Hollow got him an Oscar nom) and acting (from amazing 14 year old untrained newcomer Q'Ruina Kilcher, Colin Farrell and Batman himself Christian Bale)

Yesterday I went to the Bruins game which was about as exciting as possible but ended with them losing the shootout, and I had to sit in front of annoying Rangers fans.

Today we went to Providence Place to meet the family for lunch which was fun, and tonight I finally got to see Walk the Line now that they rereleased it after it's Golden globe wins.

Here's a pic I snapped at Copley Square on friday:
