Two hours ago, I was talking with a student who nearly got shot in the head back in February--she stepped out of the Pru just as a gang fight was starting, and a bullet hit the wall so close to her that her face was red and swollen for a few days from the impact. She really wants to move back to Wisconsin.

Forty minutes ago I was at the Pru myself, watching the mass pandemonium as the main subway stop for the Anime convention discharged right into a line of 2000 people waiting in their Red Sox t-shirts to get books signed by David Ortiz. TV crews were trying to interview baseball fans without getting ninjas and catgirls in the shot. At one point, I realized I was standing in between a Power Ranger and Godzilla (Matthew Broderick movie version).

Oh, Boston. You contradict yourself more than Walt Whitman on Topsy-Turvy Day.

Funny part is, I know people who went in today on both sides of that fence!

That's lovely. That's why I like living here; a place where jocks and geeks can happily coexist at the same T stop.

ninjas!

I walked by the Pru today and was momentarily freaked out by seeing a dude dressed as a ninja -- with a large freakin' sword! Maybe it was fake, but it looked shiny and sharp. Yipes. This Anime thing is nuts.
