Folks, I love living in East Boston so far. My walk to the train in the morning is short, and all I pass on the way is families and kids heading to school/work. I have not run into any hoodlums or weirdos unlike most other places in the city I've lived (most notably Charlestown and Fenway). I'm not saying there aren't any, but they aren't in my neighborhood often enough for me to see them so far.
The other residents in my building are quiet and polite, the place is kept very clean, there's actually usually easy to find on-street parking (helpful when we've been renting Zipcars to help us move crap from the old apartment), and despite living a stone's throw from the airport I haven't heard a plane yet. In the Fenway and Beacon Hill there were always ambulances and police cars and fire engines screaming past. We're in a quiet residential neighborhood now and have heard no such thing.
Eastie, you're winning me over.
Important notices
Hi and welcome to the new jennmartinelli.net/weblog. Glad you stopped by. I've recently started to use an entirely new platform for this weblog.
New platform?...
Glad you asked. It's a super awesome new platform for creating weblogs or any other dynamic site created by my genius boyfriend Rob (robreed at gmail dot com). Email him and tell him how awesome he is.
Why you should visit this site regularly
Because I'm totally hilarious and mostly all I ever do is get too upset about everything, which is typically entertaining for everyone else.
What's going on right now
We're still working on getting settled at our new condo in East Boston. We have managed to settle on a paint color in the bedroom on our second try. We're on our third in the livingroom and it's hard to say for sure that we're done until we get the baseboards and crown moulding up. We recently discovered our kitchen sink isn't properly sealed to the counter and leaks and our garbage disposal started leaking too. Good think we're not too scared to do some home repairs ourselves. Someday I hope to decide the place is settled enough to have a long overdue housewarming party.

Many of you knew or knew of Billy. We miss him a lot but his memory lives on, especially thanks to this blog.
Here are some favorites:
