eorThis isn't very coherent, but it's the best I can do at the moment.
Yesterday we went to Cambridge to meet up with LJ people! We met up with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-syndicated.gif)

shati,genarti,sandrylene,bookelfe,foreverdirt, and schiarire. I didn't get much chance to talk to anyone in particular due to the natural chaos of a nine way conversation, but everyone was nice, friendly, and humorous and I would recommend interacting with them if you get a chance. I don't know if I'd get the same recommendation from any of them, I felt like the thorn among roses. I wish we could have stayed for dinner with them, but that would have been killer both on the drive home and work this morning.
Thingsderien and I did earlier in the day:
We had lunch at the Gandhi restaurant on Mass Ave just past central square. We'd never been there before. We both had the buffet and found the selections very tasty. Most notably, their tandoor chicken was full of flavor and moist, not dry and tasteless like much of the tandoor chicken you find.
Acquired spices at the Shalimar grocery on Mass Ave.
We went to the used bookstore on Mass Ave., just beyond central square. Is it Robert's or Richard's? Something like that. We also went to the Harvard Book Store (twice). Our collection from both shops:
a 2008 calendar of beautiful treehouses for $2
Lemony Snicket "The Hostile Hospital" (volume 8 of A Series of Unfortunate Events)
Lemony Snicket "The Grim Grotto" (volume 11 of A Series of Unfortunate Events)
Lemony Snicket "The Slippery Slope" (volume 10 of A Series of Unfortunate Events)
Brenda Webster "The Beheading Game"
Samuel R. Delany "Tales of Neveryon"
John Brunner "Stand on Zanzibar"
Samuel R. Delany "Return to Neveryon"
Kage Baker "The Graveyard Game"
"The Oxford Dictionary of English Folklore"
Ben Franklin "Poor Richard's Almanack"
Kenneth A. Breisch "Henry Hobson Richardson and the Small Public Library in America"
That last book is pure library porn.
We also stopped in "In Your Ear!" a second hand music shop that has been in different locations in the city for decades. The CD's that we were browsing were either $1 or $5.
Black 47 "Green Suede Shoes" (promo disc)
UB40 "Guns in the Ghetto"
The Mysteries of Life "Come Clean"
Kirsty MacColl "Electric Landlady"
Lida Husik "Fly Stereophonic"
"Two Rooms: Music of Elton John & Bernie Taupin"
Chumbawamba "WYSIWYG"
Danielle Dax "Blast the Human Flower"
Echo & the Bunnymen "What are you going to do with your life?"
Styx "Pieces of Eight"
UB40 "Labour of Love II"
"A Wicked Good Sampler vol. 1"
The Lemonheads "Come on Feel the Lemonheads"
Enya "Watermark"
Billy Joel "River of Dreams"
Some of them are bound to be dogs, but what the hell we can always try to sell them up here.
We got home just about in time to crash and start the week of labor.
