Blogatron: Where is the Activities Director when you need her?

Where is the Activities Director when you need her?

So, the end of this month will bring my 30th birthday. Or rather, my 23rd non-birthday, in addition to seven actual birthdays. It will be the approximate anniversary marking 30 years since my birth. Whatever.

The point is, I've decided to take the day off work, because I can and because last year no one complimented my nice birthday outfit so screw 'em. I am taking suggestions on what to do with my day. Parameters include: in the Boston area, accessible by public transport, and requiring modest funding, as I have already shot my luxury wad this month (got to get that irresponsibility out of my system while I'm still in my 20s, after all). Ladies and gentlemen, what should I do for fun on a random Tuesday?

Well, it's crisis time around my house right now, as you know, but maybe towards the end of the month you could have a partner in crime on a Saturday to go to the Garment District?

Yes! Say the word, and the when. We should do the Allston rounds, too - there's some great shops right near my new apartment.

First weekend in March? Some of the disasters may have mitigated by then....

Have a birthday cake with candles.

Go to a trashy movie at matinee prices (if they have those in Boston).

If it's a nice day, go to the Arboretum and walk among the green (well, OK, this time of year, yellow-and-brown) things.

Also, first: sleep late.

Gardner Museum comes to mind. It'd be great to visit there on a cold winter day, then retire to a pub and spend some time in spirited discussion over a warm beverage (or warm discussion over a spirited beverage) with a friend about the things you saw there. Whatever you do, Happy Birthday, and many, many happy returns.
