[FatherAlabaster]

Indeed, correct on both counts.

Lady Gaga's role in Machete Kills Again was amusing, but overall the movie was a letdown from the first one. Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2

Allow me to once again call your attention to the graphs in the (.Y.) section, which clearly demonstrate that, as bad as your life seems, Iceni almost surely has it worse.

Alabaster What is Boston like

[FatherAlabaster]

All I can do is compare it to NYC... Beautiful buildings. I haven't been all over the place, but it seems cleaner and more polite than NYC. Kind of a bastard to drive around, but it's great for walking. It seems like it's got a lot of the same ethnic diversity that NYC does, but it's more culturally homogenous and people seem more tolerant. They hold doors for one another and don't try to run you over when you cross the street. It's a lot smaller, too. I've only scratched the surface there, but we may wind up moving there in a year or so. Parker lives up around there, I'm sure he'd have something to add.

The rest of New England affectionately refer to residents of the state as "Massholes".

[/quote'] Perhaps, but life at home is so mentally draining, I think it's a very close race. Rating - Anything and everything which allows me a temporary escape from how awful things are at home Slating - The oppressive atmosphere at home.

I suppose I'm used to it. I've had several friends from Mass and have visited there many times in the past 14 years, although I only started hanging out in Boston proper after I got married - my wife went to school up there and loves it. I'd definitely characterize it as more polite overall. NYC is pretty impersonal. Even the cheap areas are expensive, there's almost never any peace to be had, and everyone's constantly on edge. It's like being crammed into a huge machine with a bunch of strangers. It has its charm.

Come hang out in NYC, we'll go visit the Arms And Armor exhibit at the Met.

I've only ever done life drawing once. I used an R2-D2 action figure.

...oh, I guess that counts. Seriously, drawing sculptures is a lot easier than drawing from a model. Great practice, too. Greek sculptures are fun. I like working from the Indian figures - I gave my parents a couple of nice renderings of different Ganesh statuettes, which they had framed. Romanesque and Gothic sculpture isn't as much fun to draw. Actually, I've never drawn from armor, that might be fun too.
