Boston

Whee! Boston was pretty fun. Left my sister's apartment early this morning and arrived around 9. So what was I doing in Boston anyways? Pretty sketchy, huh? Well, we went to the museum. They had a Lord of the Rings exhibit which was freaking awesome. Movie props and concept sketches galore! Unfortunately, no flash photography was allowed. Awww. :( They had alot of other cool exhibits as well. It'd take far too long to go through them though. Also, it was the first time I've been in one of those Omnimax theaters where the screen is, like, really huge and surrounds you so it feels like you're really in the movie that they're showing. Some advice if you ever go to one: NEVER SIT IN THE MIDDLE. Go as far up as you can. You get so freaking dizzy if you're in the middle. We were in the center for the first show we watched, and it got disorientating at some points. The whole experience was really cool though. It does feel like you're really there. It was really bizarre later though, because on the way back to Maine (Which never has tornadoes, nor any other extreme weather. EVER.), we heard a tornado warning on the radio. Luckily, it dissipated before even touching the ground (Haha. PWNED. XD). But we had just seen one of those Omnimax movies about tornadoes. It was weird. Anyways, one final note: Boston drivers are insane.
