Rrrrr..... Since my blog died on me a second ago, I have to type this all over again. Hmm....
Yeah, so today Amy and I went looking for Japanese comic book stores. Amy researched a little bit on the web, and found two that were sorta along Mass. Ave. so we would hopefully be able to find them. Turned out that both were random Japanese food markets that had random video rentals - all in Japanese of course. So that was sad and stupid. By then, we were way past Hahvahd and stuff so we turned around and started walking back. We stopped off at Hahvahd Yahd to wander around and stuff. It was fun to see dorms made out of bricks instead of concrete. And trees and grass! We had fun wondering what it would be like if we picked up Simmons Hall and dropped it in the middle of the Yahd (Yeah, I'm determined not to pronounce/spell that place properly ever again! :P). Then we walked back to Harvard Square (Oops, broke my promise already!) and found this mall with two or three anime-related stores, so life was all good again. Didn't buy anything, naturally, since I'm such a cheapo. What would I buy anyway? Found some Slayers manga, but they were only about Lina and Naga - no Zelgadis, boo hoo. :'-(
Well, anyway, after wandering around there a bit, we started walking back home. I had wanted to stop by WILG - the Women's Independent Living Group - for dinner at 6, but by the time we got there, it was around 7:15 and starting to rain. I said we should stop by and see if they had anything left or whatever, and they were still serving! The food was really good, and the people were really nice! We even got a house tour. It's a nice place. Maybe I should think about joining it??? Hmm... Here are some facts about WILG:
- You can still join it even if you can't live there - you just have to move in when you're allowed to
- $2200 to live at WILG - this includes meals
- $100 if you don't live there - this includes 1 meal a week, social fees, etc.
- 48 people live there right now, but there's about 15 more members that live on campus.
- Most rooms are singles or doubles, but there are a few triples and quads
- All the quads are converted to triples this year - this is actually a regular occurence
- Can do laundry there - 50 cents to wash, free to dry
- Bathrooms shared between 3 and 5 people, who are in charge of keeping it clean and everything
- Dinner served 6 times a week, I believe. You get paid if you volunteer to cook.
- Also make packed lunches which you can take with you
- WILG is only a 5 or 10 minute walk away - pretty close!
- You can paint your room any way you want, pretty much.
- You can loft your bed! But of course, I'd be way too clueless to make one by myself... :(
Er, that's all I can think about right now. Sounds like it's worth it? Oh yeah, random fact of note. I met my first Lindy (that isn't me) the other night - she lives at WILG! How cool is that?
