A Lovely Day For It
Yesterday was such a lovely day…almost autumn-like. We had intended to join my friend Jason and Bryan for dinner in Boston as part of Restaurant Week but Jason was a) sick and b) delayed at Penn Station in New York (I blame it on too much screaming at the Justin Timberlake concert, but he assures me he was sick prior to the concert).
Rand and I got together anyway and decided to poke our heads into the original Filene’s Basement before it closes down next month (it’s re-opening in a few years after the building has been gutted and a 30+ story condo tower rises above it). There were bargains galore if you were willing to hunt…and if you’re an XXL. Apparently all the stuff sized small and medium were snatched up already. So, if you’re a plus-sized Bostonian, have they got some deals for you!
But on top of their “already low prices”, they’ve got discounts going for 30% to 60% off. I got $88 shirts for $12. Not too bad.
We then walked from there to Chinatown and had dinner at a Vietnamese restaurant (I never remember the name). They may want to consider changing the name of Chinatown to Asiatown since it seems the majority of restaurants nowadays are everything BUT Chinese: Thai, Japanese, Vietnamese, etc…
And that was my day. Oh, I’ve also begun selling some old books online (mostly old text books and such). Within a few hours of posting them on Half.com and Amazon.com, I’ve sold three. This must be the perfect time of year to sell books with college starting in a few weeks. I wish I’d done this earlier (I’ve been holding onto some of these books for 3-4 years).

*Ahem.* If you saw how cute Justin looked in his costume, you’d be screaming like a little girl too.
