Boston suggestions and Fall TV pilots

[bohemia]

So next weekend splits_thesky and I are off to Boston! It's her birthday the following week, and she wanted to go to Boston? So... we're... doing that. IT SOUNDS SO WEIRD BUT THAT'S BASICALLY IT. We have a fairly loose itinerary planned for Friday and Saturday (Sunday is when we return) that includes the New England Aquarium, the MIT Museum, a picnic/lunch at Boston Public Garden (Beacon Hill!) and maybe a movie tour or visit to the Zoo or some other museum. Those of you from/frequent visitors to Cambridge/Boston, what are good places to eat lunch/dinner? We're generally going on Yelp! ratings and pictures but after DC we're wary of things going to complete hell on us. So any advice in that area (or tips on far more interesting museums/sites to see) are welcome.

I watched some pilots: Hellcats, Nikita and Terriers. Terriers was the only one that really hooked me. Nikita seems intriguing enough but it didn't focus too much on her. I don't want to judge the show so harshly from one episode, but everyone else was more intriguing to me. Every time it went back to Nikita I was like, "Yeah, whatever, cut back to the other characters!" Hellcats is too teenager-drama-catty for my tastes. Terriers is supposed to be an hour-long dramedy, but it feels much more dramatic than comedic. The only comedy stems from its Psych-meets-Bored to Death premise of LOL THESE GUYS ARE JUST WINGING THIS DETECTIVE JOB, but since I watch both Psych and Bored to Death it feels a bit tired to me. Still, I love Donal Logue enough to keep watching even if it hadn't pulled me in.

I also wanted to start watching Sons of Anarchy again and catch up with Human Target. I can do that within a week, right? >.>

Seems you just add more and more shows to your line of tv viewing. I haven't heard or seen any thing about any of these but they sound interesting

Boston sounds like fun!

loooooool, everyone who I'm like, "I'M GOING TO BOSTON!!!" to, is just like, ".....why?". To which I just keep being like, "...I want to?? And it's my birthday soon, so THERE."


....YOU FORGOT TO MENTION THE GAY BAR-ING.
Also...wait, we're going to the MIT Museum?? I mean, that's cool, I guess, but -- when did we decide that.

But yes, LJ friends of Lia, pleaaaase help us out with the suggesting!! In the "things to do" area, especially, seeing as rn we're just like, "....maybe this thing?? Or...idk, this thing miiiight be cool...??"

What do you think will be canceled first? Nikita? Or Hellcats?

You're coming to Boston! So funny that I'll be around there that weekend too! For family matters, though. :P

I love the Aquarium, and if you go to Boston Commons, you might see Emerson College playing Quidditch in the baseball/softball fields. :D

Um, as for places, you can try to find places in Copley, or else Newbury St. (You can totes visit Johnny Cupcakes or merch and Upper Crust for pizza there! Or Charlie's Saloon, I have an LJ friend that actually works there too!) If you end up taking the T at all, Park Street and Boylston have some good restaurants (Bolocco is one of my favs, and it's near the Commons).

Err...hope that was helpful?

....okay, first of all, ADORABLE (&she is super cute, how did I never know this before??), and second, the first thing I thought was "GOOFEY", and couldn't stop laughing.

Okay, I SWEAR I did not go looking for this, that Twitter suggestion thingie suggested it for me: Kendall's mom.

D.Belt tweets @ her, awwwwwwwwww

Actually, all of her tweets are really cute, because they're mostly just good wishes for Kendall or Kevin, or their friends (this might be the cutest, though<3).

......in more cheerful news, though:

1) it is, apparently, BOTH Jamie Kaler's birthday AND Logan Henderson's birthday!

aaaaaaand that is your transition for:

2) THISSSSSSSSS (that last Jonas gif is PERFECT)

3) and this, which is mostly notable for the D.Belt (.....is it sad that I recognized him from the back just because of his hair?? I mean, the loud plaid shirt didn't HURT, buuut), buuuut also for that first GORGEOUS picture of Katelyn Tarver.










..............let's be clear, though, I am still dying a thousand tear-filled deaths for My Boys rn.

What sort of food do you two like/are there are any particular types you would like? Usually when I visit my friend there we eat a lot of Japanese food or... ice cream, haha.

Been meaning to check out Terriers but haven't gotten a chance. I think Alex and Michael are the only interesting characters on Nikita and Hellcats..eh like it for what it is even though its too teenager-y. Only two episodes of those shows have aired so don't really want to judge until I see more.
