Late Night Blogging

So it's late, as usual. I can't seem to sleep early, as much as it would help my academic performance, and well-being. My housemate, Alwin, and I have come to the conclusion that we stay up late because we don't like to go straight to bed after school is over. We need our pre-sleep wind-down ritual. It's kind of a time where we basically meander on facebook, or do whatever else facilitates vegetation. I just finished an online lab/lecture thing for PSC 41, and I am winding down by eating a ham sandwich, listening to the musical stylings of The Kooks (and other bands which Pandora finds to be similar), and blogging, of course. I need to charge my camera so that I can provide you all with a more tangible sort of insight to my days. Hannah, Ara, and I made palabok today, a Filipino dish similar to Pansit, and Lo Mein. It turned out alright. This is another one of those blogs for the sake of blogging on a somewhat consistent and frequent basis.

Culinary Adventures in Davis: Café Méditerranée

One of my goals during college is to eat at every restaurant in Davis. I told this to someone some time ago, and they said something like, "Oh cool! We should do it together! Except, let's not do the crappy restaurants." While it makes total sense to only go to restaurants that provide an enjoyable experience, I just could not agree with this person's statement. For me, I desire even to go to those less-than-enjoyable restaurants just so that I can say that I had eaten there, and to verify to others the rumors of the establishments, whether true or not, in my opinion. This is kind of the start of a new segment of my blog, recording my culinary adventures throughout Davis. Here goes!



This is at Café Méditerranée, located at 113 D Street. I recall the cashier/waitress having some damn good customer service, so that was a definite plus. I ordered the rotisserie chicken, which I had heard was very good. 'Twas! Ye verily! They serve Mediterranean food like schwarmas, hummus, and...whatever else. I don't remember too much since this happened a while ago. I do remember that Anthony was practicing his insurance interviews on us, and it was quite awkward. That's why he's dressed up in this picture. He wanted to really get into the mindset of an interview. Anyways! I've been to several other restaurants, but don't have pictures to record my visits to them. Guess I'll just have to go back and eat at those places again...Dag nabit!

Fin.

Just Because it's Been Awhile

Called my boss today and gave her my two weeks notice. It will be quite nice when I finish working. I will have more time to practice my trumpet! This blog isn't too eloquent or thought-provoking; more for the sake of blogging because I haven't done so in a while.

Here is a panorama I made today. The view is from Hilltop Park, which is in San Diego. I took the pictures during Spring Break. In it you can see the nieghborhoods, hills, and my high school! I really miss San Diego. Especially the weather. I'll be sure to post again soon!
