Too much Pizza!

Charles Henry and I went on a Pizza tour of the city yesterday.

I walked from my apartment, paid for a coffee at sbux and met up with him and Jack Daniels in my old neighborhood. Chuck has said plenty about his pizza opinions- these are mine...

First Stop: Ernesto's Pizza. For the past year I have resided in Boston's North End AKA "Little Italy." I've probably hit this place up at least 2 times a week on average. Usually I get a slice (2 massive slices) of cheese to go if I'm solo and heat it up in my toaster oven. If I'm dining with companions I try to avoid the table behind the soft drink station- It's a sure thing you'll be in someone's way. If you're going to venture outside the plain cheese world and you are unfamiliar with the different combinations Ernesto's has to offer I would not recommend going on a sunny day. The glare of the sun against the pizza display's window kills one's ability to distinguish a pepperoni pizza from a buffalo chicken pizza. Anyways my slice of choice w/ toppings is the "chicken pepperoni and ricotta." It's extreme, but if you eat meat and don't mind putting your health on the line for an amazing slice I highly recommend it. There's about 3 regular workers I encounter at Ernesto's. One being an old man that lounges behind the counter drinking bud light. One's a very quiet mid 20's guy. And lastly there's my workaholic buddy who is there 90% of the time making it happen, if Super Mario ever came to life he'd look like this guy.
Bring cash here. They accept cards, but a couple of my friends got duplicate charges so use the Bank of America ATM 2 stores down and save yourself the hassle.

Haymarket: Chuck brought me here one day around the time of the Sox 07 playoffs before we hustled credit cards. A decent slice. Haymarket in general gives me bad vibes so I usually shy away from the area at all costs. Good slice though. I won't bore anyone with talk about the sugary sauce or cheap price. You know this.

moving on. 2 free iced coffees down the road...

Bostone: Worst slice of the day. The crust is too thin and crispy for my liking, the sauce and cheese lacked harmony. Maybe it was the fact that I already had 3 slices in my stomach, or maybe Bostone's slice of cheese really just is terrible. Don't get me wrong I'll enjoy a slice of Sicilian cheese from here any day, I'm just not feeling the average slice.
Sit outside here- you might get dripped on. True story.

We took a break for new gear, lurked people waiting in line for the Grand Opening at the Apple Store, and then made the trek to...

Chacho's: A first time for me. Best slice of the day. I couldn't finish but as I told Chuck "There's a reason why the women's T in golf is closer than the Men's" I'll probably make a summer habit of strolling down to this place on nice days.


Apps is back in town


I'm still unemployed...

Greetings from

Gloucester Street. Moving was a success!


A success it was-for the most part that is. The box spring I bought last year refused to fit up our stairs- in fact it even fought back against the wall and made a lovely hole. We'll get that fixed. Currently I have a mattress on an unstable bed frame. Lots of boxes with my belongings, my dresser and this precious lamp I bought: Hopefully it will be presentable for guests sometime soon.

Currently I'm unemployed, but I'm trying to get that fixed. Summer activities are alive and happening. Tennis, running, cruising Newbury Street (that counts!), and being way too relaxed. Cliff jumping needs to happen very soon.

And now I must add that over the course of the past three hours my roommate Keara and I have moved her Full Size IKEA bed into my room, moved her boyfriends queen sized bed into her room and set them both up. One might think, "How hard could it be?" IKEA bed's are not so friendly once being disassembled and assembled on multiple moves- especially when you don't use your brain and try to assemble it upside down. We figured it out eventually. GREAT SUCCESS!

I was hoping that moving to this spot would bring me into a more social environment. This proved to be true when I set out on my journey to Shaws for food and a coinstar adventure. Moving makes you find lots of change, I made a makeshift piggy-bank out of two RX CD stack covers. So with a jingle in my step and a weight on my shoulder I strolled. And I walked about 3 sidewalk squares till I sighted Charles Henry and Hudon. Most of the time I would think seeing a familiar face on the street was a mirage or a look-a-like, but I know Chucke and he is a man of habitual strolls through the city. We went to El Pelon and discussed healthy and unhealthy eating, so hey why not? HMM. Today I have consumed 3 SBUX beverages, one bagel, one chicken quesadilla, and a bowl of Special K cereal. Which side are you on?



So let's just be happy that I have a bed to sleep in at night, Nike Running Club meets tomorrow (A first visit for me),My fantasy baseball team still dominates, My parents new favorite slogan is "GET A JOB!" LOL, and Brendan shaved. AND my winnings from coinstar came out to be $26 and some extra change.
