Red Sox weekend

Just a random note.


I pushed myself so much doing semi-allnighters during this week, 

I had a little bit of time to be relaxed over this weekend.

watched the first game of the American League Championship at a bar in South End

although the game was disappointing one.


This morning, I went to Museum of Fine Art with my husband to see a rich series of collections 

of a water-color painter, John Sargent. 

His works were really remarkable in a sense that a painting shows two different faces. 

His touches seem to be very rough when we look them in a close distance, 

but once we step back away from the painting, like a couple of meters,

those touches start becoming very delicate. This was like a super magic  

and I really enjoyed his art.


One of the coolest things of the US is that we can approach historical masterpieces 

as close as we want. We can even take photos of Gogh's, Monet's, and many other 

famous painters in the history, which we only usually see in textbooks for art classes..

In addition, students can get free admission.

I don't think I will go to any museums back in Japan after exposing myself to such a 

wonderful environment regarding art: I don't wanna see paintings exhibited behind a grass after 

waiting hours in a long line. 










Then, I studied in the whole afternoon and went for running with my friend.

The reservoir was beautiful as always.




Then we concluded this Sunday with a heavy American style dinner at a restaurant,

watching Red Sox's second game.


Now I'm watching the remaining of the game at home,

preparing for another upcoming intense week.


Red Sox, Yes, we are so behind.
