Easter break!

Well break has been enjoyable so far - Wednesday Melanie and I finally got to see the apartment we signed on. I am legitimately pleased and excited to move there come June 1st (hopefully sooner). We picked Robbie up from Happy Hour and watched 'Disaster Movie' whilst having dinner and pregaming for the evening. We got to the Park Plaza where Scott was staying around 9:15 and pregamed for a bit before heading out to Rumor. The Absolut Mango we brought was quite interesting - it legit smelled like a mixture of sweat and deodorant, not yet to the point of b.o. but certainly rather unpleasant. Rumor was fun, though the 30 dollar cab ride home was truly heinous.

Dragged my ass to BU thursday morning for class, then went to the gym before finishing packing and getting ready for Logan. Melanie drove me to the airport, and all in all I had a drama-free early-arriving flight. After landing the fam and me went to Flaming's, a Mexican seafood restaurant for an early dinner. I had the mahi-mahi encrusted in a crab meat crust - quite good. That night I was pretty low-key: went to Caribou with Andy, then watched a British movie I forgot the name of.

Friday I woke up to lox and bagels, then went shopping with my sister to Nordstrom Rack. I realized today that the jeans I bought are actually women's, lol, but whatever - they were a great deal and fit nicely. That night was Kasia and my dual bday celebration, attended my myself, Andy, Kasia, Ben, Ben's sister and bf, Krzysiu, Nicole, Goda, and Brian. Twas a grand 'ole time with plenty of food, libation, and other indulgences. We had a great Polish flag cake to end the evening, and by 1:30 when we left I was ready to pass the f out.

Today I pretty much just chilled aside from going to bless baskets. I love how Slavic I am when I come home - two thirds of everything I've consumed this break has been Polish. By far the best is my Mom's invention from growing up, her "super duper sandwiches" that her family ate after blessing baskets every Holy Saturday. It is simply rye bread, butter, fresh polish sausage, red and white horseradish, and hard-boiled egg all piled up and eaten open-faced. Washed down with a nice Polish beer it is perfect lunch. Other than that it's been pickled herring, marinated mushrooms, red barszcz, Wawel chocolate, and Belvedere with Apple Mint juice. Swietnie!

Tonight I am going to the Easter Vigil mass. Fuck me. Nothing like three hours of fruitless indoctrination. Of course I "have the option of not going", but that just means being scorned by my father. Blehhhhh. I need some ham.
