This past weekend I went to go visit two of my good friends from grad school, now up in Boston. It was just what I needed, couple of good days with girl friends. It was a pretty laid back weekend tho. We wandered around Boston a bit on Saturday, met up with another friend of mine for a bit, and then spent the evening playing Guitar Hero. On Sunday we got a bit of snowboarding in.
Guitar Hero's a pretty fun game. I can see why it's popular. Unfortunately I had a hard time playing more than a few songs. My pinky started hurting after a while, which makes no sense at all because I didn't use it. Then my right forearm started hurting... then my knees. I think I was making too many unnecessary movements (looking cool was more important than hitting the notes). It's also too bad I didn't know many of the songs on there. Hard rock and heavy metal aren't my thing. One song kind of stuck in my head for a while though. The chorus goes "Here I am, rock you like a hurricane." Hmm, I wish someone would come rock me like a hurricane.
As far as sight-seeing goes, I wouldn't put Boston very high on the must-see list. Sure, there's some history there, but it's not the most interesting stuff. Then again, I didn't really do any research on the place and left it up to my friends to play tour-guide. If there was some must-see or do things there, please let me know.
Sunday afternoon was spent at Sunapee, a ski resort in NH just 1.5 hrs North of Boston. The slopes were icy, tho there were some parts that weren't so bad. I suppose it's about what I expected considering how warm it has been the week before. It was a pretty drive up there though. Lot of the lakes are frozen over. On one lake, there were little box huts where people were ice fishing in. That was pretty neat because it was something I hadn't seen before.
