Happy 25-hour Sunday

  • Riding with Ricky to South Station in a few minutes. He has been a fine houseguest, all around. Yesterday we went to the MFA to see the brand-new Rembrandt exhibit (fantastic -- I want to go again, and bring a magnifying glass with me (they rented these out for $5 at the door, but didn't explain why you might want one; some of the etchings are no larger than an LJ userpic)) and I finally got myself a museum membership. (Actually I got a dual membership for the both of us, since it was only $3 more than a one-person membership plus a one-time admission.) As the museum is a short walk away from the HMS campus, I look forward to visiting it by myself after work sometime, when I'm feeling properly whimsical. To just explore at my own pace, for hours: here is something I have not yet done with the place.

  • It has been so long since I've had anyone visit for an extended period of time that I forgot how important it is to have food. I may (sadly) think nothing of grabbing a bite whenever I get hungry, but this is awkward to do when there's another person around who also gets hungry and expects a means to fulfill it. I'll amend this for next weekend's spate of houseguests. (It is houseguest season, for me. Tra la.)

  • Ricky has tasked me with finding him a particular variety of oscilloscope on eBay. I don't know what he is going to use it for, but that seems an unimportant detail. I will try to oblige.
  • It's time to go to Food City

    One thing that you could do about this whole food thing is bring your friend to a local supermarket and have him pick out a few things that perhaps that he would like to have around the house. I bought like this huge bag of Fruit Loops for when I am at my hosts house as well as a large quantity of 2% milk and that satisifies me during my morning stays here at my guests place of residence (I'm on the road most of the other times and stauf) ... this ensures though that a) there is food and b) there is food that he'd like to eat especially if one has a eclectic taste in food. Although, that can work in reverse as well "I really don't want you to buy 37 cans of Spam ... you won't eat it all and I don't like Spam!"

    My $.02.
