piglet gets around

piglet in newton
this is the house of our friend betsy. she goes by another name now, but when she came to london to stay with us when she was younger, that is how we knew her. the picture was taken when i came to boston and stayed with her when i was younger, well, about a month younger than i am now :-) i absolutely love her house.

ica piglet

piglet is such a culture vulture. no sooner do we land in the boston area than he must go visit the local repository for contemporary art. here he is observing ravaj enjoying the view.

boston, bourgeois and being there

"maman" by louise bourgeois
so i made it! exhaustion seems quite energetic compared to how d and i felt today. it took about 8 hours to load the truck in the end, mainly because i was still packing as we were loading. the traffic was terrible everywhere, and we reached waltham around 10 pm. we spent the night in the home of d & t, d being my d's ex. lesbians have interesting relationships y'know ...

i am now sitting in my new room surrounded by the corpses of unpacking - torn bin-liners* and half-empty boxes. much to do, but it cannot be done now since i just got online for the first time since thursday. but i am here, and my new life has begun. hurrah.

meanwhile, what's with the spider up top is that after d & i dropped my d off at the station to go back to nyc, we went to the ica. o dear - too many initials, especially without punctuation, are a sure path to reading-enteritis. sorry. there was an exhibition of louise bourgeois (a name new to me) that d wanted to see and so we went. one room was full with this gigantic spider. i thought it would be lovely to put a table underneath it and hold a dinner party there. it was my favourite sculpture, and when i googled the artist i found this link on the bbc.

and the yankees are beating the mets. a great first full day here at #72a.
