While scouring google reader, as I do on a multple-times-per-day basis, I ended up subscribing to this blog where I learned about a short story writing contest, with the sole requirement being that it's under 2000 words and set in Harvard Square.
Problem numero uno: I've been to Harvard Square a grand total of... two times (one being at night for Le:60) so I can't say I'd easily be able to speak of the locale in much detail without further visits.
Problem numero deux (yes, frespagnol): procrastination. In an "it's complicated" relationship with laziness, procrastination and I have been bonding over the rough patches (personification ftw!). Neverthless, the deadline is Saturday evening... which I could easily meet with proper dedication and focus.... and all this other "motivation" that I clearly lack.
Ahem, anyway, I think I shall keep up with Cheap Thrills - Boston (aforementioned "this blog") to keep tabs on such things. Preferably ones that give me money... yay money.

With regards to room placement for next year, the building we've been looking at (future roommate and friends alike) is rather sweet (the bedrooms are equivelant to our dorm room currently... with the added addition of apartment-style perks, which I'm getting to).... and by rather sweet, I mean that the apartments have kitchens.
For someone who actually loves to bake (making up recipes is the only/best way to go. Huzzah for winging it!)), this is a major plus, and a reason why I've been disgruntled with the current room. Mind you, the dorm building is on the opposite side of campus to where we are now (conveniently close to the dining hall, as well as where we have to pick up our packages.... and cheap-ass pizza open 'till 3am), but for the prerequisite kitchen....

Thinking of Le:60 reminds me that they managed to scrape up Cambridge natives, Pants Yell! and have them play sets in between the hour long groups of short films.
So, in parting, I leave you with this little jem, Magenta and Green (and a live vid), which they did in fact play at Le:60 (we had to leave before it was actually finished, so we never saw they're last set, but I must say, they're good live (they opened for Harry and the Potters and they played at a place called Cakeshop... can't be all bad.)

I had no idea you were still using this blog! ... I'll have to stop by more often to steal music (after I delete a lot of random junk off my computer...)
