the past two nights
just wanted to share a quick update of how i'm surving without having an open cafeteria!
yesterday, after work, krista and i went to wal-mart. was kinda nervous to go out on black friday but it wasn't too bad. totally funny experience with wal-mart greeters! krista and i ate at on the border. i love that place! i decided i don't really like the alcohol that's in margaritas. our waiter was so charming.
then, i went to the movie 'sideways' with jenny. well, we bought our tickets then we walked over to a place called 'friendlys' and got some ice cream (i got a monster mash!) and then we watched the movie. wasn't impressed with the movie. because i am so lazy right now, i'm going to include an excerpt from an email i sent to jenny about my reaction to the movie instead of writing a new one. "an article i'm reading said that both thomas haden church and paul giamatti should be considered for oscar nominations for this movie. i balk. i scoff. i am concerned for people who think that was a high caliber performance. i mean, they didn't do poorly i guess. i didn't really like either of them. and i decided why i didn't think that paul giamatti's character should hook up with anyone: he's depressed. he wants a fixer. that's not something that is going to produce a healthy relationship. depression is not cured by a woman. sorry. okay, i'm done ranting. i really was kinda disappointed with the movie. i was correct in thinking that most of the funny parts were in the previews. and, what was up with the full-on frontal male nudity?! that never used to happen. true, i used to say that it wasn't fair that only women were naked on the screen but i didn't really need to see the guy that close up!"
okay, now for tonight's coping with no cafeteria. thanks to my friend tabea, i was invited to professor taylor's house for an evening of wine and appetizers. i made this dish i learned about in germany (even though everyone tells me it's a french dish) with fresh mozzerella and tomatoes. and because i didn't have fresh basil, i used some sage that i found in the kitchen downstairs. the evening was a good experience. i was glad to meet professor taylor. i want to take one of his classes now. professor rivera-pagan was there with his wife. it's good to see professors outside the academic environment. professor rivera-pagan was so endearing when he told the story of how he and his wife got together. most of the other students there tonight were international students (everyone except krista and me). i was glad to be around international students again. they were such a huge part of my life at southwestern and i've been missing what international students really added to my life.
well, i must go to sleep now. i have to go pick up joanne and joe at the philly airport in the morning. i have to get up at 5:45!! aaaaaaaaack! anything for my friends . . .
