Indian food & hot chocolate & cream cheese brownies, oh my!
I'm not sure if that exactly has a ring to it like lions and tigers and bears (oh my!), but hey, it's pretty much what my day entailed. I was up 'early' today (at 11:30ish when Joe called me), and we hit Tandoor for lunch around 1:30 (drool, drool, drool). This is what we call 'sampling the local cuisine' because oh my lord, I love Indian food. I don't even know half the stuff I ate today, but it was so good, and I ate soooooooooo much that I didn't have dinner until like, 9:00 tonight. I now have found two awesome lunch places since coming home for break...Tandoor (Indian food) and Thai A Kitchen (yup, you guessed it, Thai food). And Cold Stone Creamery, which is, conveniently, right down the block from Thai A Kitchen...so I guess this is what Joe & I meant by 'sampling the local cuisine'....yay!
After a brief 'disagreement' (shall we say?) with my parents when I got home (ooh, they piss me off sometimes!!!!!), I bummed around the house until I decided that I was so bored and just needed to get OUT of the house that I headed off to Barnes & Noble at Bayshore (haha, BaySHOE according to the sign...mwa, the R is burned out), but instead of getting books, I got a calendar. I know, I know, the sister got me a calendar for Christmas, and while said calendar absolutely rules (Wizard of Oz! Yay!), it's not a desk calendar (or page-a-day), which I rely on frequently. So I bought another one today, and I'm definitely not revealing what comic strip is on the calendar, because otherwise you will make fun of me. :) Anyway, from the mall, I met Joe at Alterra, where we had dinner (hot chocolate & cream cheese brownies). Yep, that was dinner. I haven't been to Alterra since Easter weekend (when that damn brownie - not cream cheese - was the only thing I ate for like, a week, and I'm not exaggerating), and haven't had a cream cheese brownie since probably last winter break. While at Alterra, I saw a coffee cup with a camel on it, and decided I'm probably going to have to get that for Dana before I go back to Ripon, but opted to not buy it today, because I probably would lose it in between now & January whatever when I see Dana. Also, that gives me another excuse to go to Alterra again....
Anyway, it was good day. Finished watching Love Actually tonight, so didn't get to either of my other movies, and resisted the urge to get Troy while at Best Buy. Knowing me, I probably won't watch it very much, so maybe some other time. Like if I rent it at some point and realize that I actually do somewhat like the movie, that or hey previously viewed....:)
I came to the conclusion that Barnes & Noble at Bayshore sucks canal water (just like AT&T/Cingular), so I guess I might have to go out to Mayfair, because they actually have a music section, and I'm just dying to try and get my hands on the Chick Corea album with Eleanor Rigby on it. Then again, if all else fails, set aside at least an entire afternoon to go to Exclusive Company on Farwell & Brady (when I say an entire afternoon, I mean, like, a lot of hours! because they have the biggest classical music selection ever, and I could spent hours in there!!! and I left a lot of my classical music CDs at school...).
I know I complain about AT&T regularly, but now it's decided that my home area of my phone is now Madison. Sigh. Does it ever end? Is it almost August (when I can bid AT&T/Cingular a not-so-fond farewell)??? :) Luckily, people can still dial my phone without using all 10 digits if they're in the 414 area code, but still. Madison? Last I checked, Madison was 608. Whatever...
Anyway, off to bed. What the fuck did I do to my computer? I hate this machine. And dialup. I think my parents need to get out of the stone ages and get something that's not dialup....
More journal writing time! (What, you think this is the only place I write stuff down???? Ha! You are sorely mistaken!) :)
