aaaaactually...

ok, so i nixed sorella's. some other time (seriously people, it freakin rocks so get your butts over there with me.) j.p. turned out to be a tad too far off for me today, so i decided to stroll my new neighborhood and explore davis square.

can i just say my new diggs are the freaking bomb location?! davis rocks. yeah, it's a bit scuzzy, but in a cool way. like, ok, there's a dollar store next to a mcdonalds, and it seems a little like all the stores sell things that are used... BUT the radness is in the FOOD. i ate for the first time at mr. crepe (ham and cheddar crepe, along with some fresh squeezed lemonade - delish! if a tad over priced...) i realize all of you probably already know about places like mr. crepe, so you'll have to excuse my country-bumpkiness. after enjoying my food, reading my entertainment weekly, and people watching, i wandered over to the benches in the square and listened to two old dudes singing bluegrassy-old-timey music. the breeze was warm and blowing my skirt around. the square was hoppin', but in a lazy way. it was heaven.

in my wanderings, i realized that there are several places i already know will have a special place in my life this summer: spikes (57 t-bird baby!), j.p. licks, the somerville theatre, and mr. crepe. my curiosity was piqued by gargoyles, orleans, the burren, and johnny d's. ah, the sweet promise the beginning of summer brings! so much to explore! so much to experience! so many sensory delights!

now, the best part. my new apartment rocks in and of itself and i am THRILLED to finally have a place to host my peeps. i mean, for crying out loud! i have been the nomadic rootless wonder lacking any and all context for a year and a half! now, i can share a space of mine with the people i heart, and that's you! (fyi - as far as i know, only people i heart read my puny blog. readership has not been nurtured by yours truly.)

people, i want to see your faces here. i want to see your booties shakin' here. i want to hear your delicious voices here. this summer is going to wail. you have my word on that. now are you in, or what?
