Politics, culture, and other oddities.

I just returned from five wonderful days in the Berkshires, a region encompassing part of western Massachusetts and New York and characterized by its rolling green hills and charming little towns. My friends and I got a real steal on a condo because it's the off-season, but there was still so much to do. My new favorite city is Northampton, a tiny but bustling city that has thrived in the middle of rural MA. It's full of cool shops and restaurants, and I saw a terrific concert there -- The Disco Biscuits (their website didn't seem to work for me). It was really intense and totally incredible. Technically, I think they're a jam band, but they also have elements of techno and electronika. So cool. Anyway. That was fun. The Berkshires are beautiful. I must buy Pantene Hydrating Curl Conditioner because it makes my hair look a thousand times better than usual. Go figure.
