a break in the clouds

today is the (observed) anniversary of my departure from boston. it seems like so long ago, yet i can remember going up and down all of those stairs so many times as if it were just last week, blah blah blah.

i would not say, a year later, that leaving either boston or novell were overall bad decisions. certainly not the worst i've made before, or since. probably writing this entry was a worse decision than either of them.

the dears show last weekend was pretty amazing. they've definitely improved as a band since their last tour in november, and managed to get through their whole set without the power going out once. i don't think they played anything from the EPs or hollywood, but they started the encore with we can have it, and, well, they could have only played that song and i would have been happy.

but now i'm sad because they're gone, and although in the next month i'm going to see HF, ARS, and wilco, i do not love those bands like i love the dears.

tomorrow i will have pancakes.
