The Daily Grind

Today was much more exciting than yesterday. I felt like I went through about 3 days in a span of 6 hours. Went to bed late doing some reading after another screening of Avatar in true IMAX 3D which is infinite times better than what any other theater puts up and calls IMAX. Unfortunately, there were little bugs appearing on the screen which resembled bedbugs, but I didn't see them myself, but I freaked out a bit. Just for a bit. The true IMAX screen is literally four times bigger than the screen set up in the AMC theaters. No lie. In the medium shot scenes I felt like I was in the moment. Absolutely great picture. The story lacked a little more this time around because I knew what was going to happen but when the emotional times came along, I was so into it. Okay. So, Avatar promotion done.

Woke up and did some more reading, then I headed out to buy a recorder for my voice class and ran up to my orientation at Discovery. We had a national orientation, so basically, conference calling. Pretty cool, nonetheless. Forgot my paperwork so I'm running back to Jersey tomorrow to get it, after I get my resume critiqued and in the 2010 Resume Book at Wasserman. Rush rush rush. All in a New York minute. Things have been so continuously hectic even though I don't have class til the afternoon and I haven't gotten a part-time job yet. Wow. Where did my life go?

Anyways, today was an interesting marketing class. I thoroughly enjoy this class, not just because the instructors are nice, but because they're actually working in the field they're teaching, and they LOVE it. Makes me wish I were passionate about something. I mean, there's a girl in the class, I forgot her name, she commits herself to non-profit organizations in non-genocide groups and environmental protection. She's so passionate about everything she talks about, it's just evident in her voice. My passion? Current status? Nothing. That's a goal for the next 10 years. Find what I'm passionate about.

After, had a nice dinner/talk with Hoolie and we reflected on our college careers. She seemed to have found a direction for the moment. We both realized there's a lot more to learn. I also need to find inspiration for the moment. Get through the next few years somehow. Right?

What inspires you?

Change of Pace.

So, apparently I rage a lot. And this is completely true. I guess I always see the bad things in life much more clearer than I see anything good. It's probably because of the way I grew up or the way I was raised. I don't know. Middle child syndrome, people call it. Call it what you want, it's the way I am.

But, I do feel from now on, I will rage less and focus on the better things that have happened and when nothing good happens, I will write about it, but write a disclaimer. Hopefully these posts of rage will become lesser and lesser after 6 months when I graduate. =)

So, starting with this post, I am going to express the good side that I do actually possess, I swear if people read this and didn't know who I am, they'd think I was a suicidal maniac. Alors, today began with sleeping in. It was a very lovely sleep because I never get the chance to sleep in during the week and I only had 3 hours of sleep Wednesday night. So, I slept and slept. Woke up at 9 anyway because my body's used to it. But I went to bed at midnight the night before. Holla.
So I woke up and laid in bed. Isn't it wonderful? You do nothing and it's just great. I reflected. Not very good thoughts, but thoughts nonetheless. After, Kat called and she, Ms Daisy and I headed to Prune. This is going to turn into another review as this food also calls for some kind of praise. (Only with Kat do these things happen. Again catch her blog. She cooks like a fiend and eats the best food in the world. She's a world traveler. No doubt. Anyway, moving on. Prune.

We went just as they opened. Perfect. 1130. No one. Sit down. I was obsessed with the tableware. I love glasses and mugs and weird home goods. It just felt like a French cafe with the antiqued walls and french windows and doors. It also had that wicker on the chairs. Love it. The menus were cute, there weren't many choices but what they had was what Daisy called "cryptic." I agree. Their food choices seemed simple enough but when you read it, "Kerchief pasta with French ham and egg." Cool. How is that made? Pasta cooked with jambón and eggs? Nope. It's a poached egg topped with French ham [kind of like prosciutto but much more difficult to chew] topped off with one thin sheet of pasta [like lasagna but thinner]. The waitress said it was small too. Fail. There was a burger on the menu that Daisy and I craved but she ordered it and we all agreed to share portions. The burger came on an english muffin it says. Wow. To die for. She got it medium-well, but I prefer medium-rare so it was kinda dry after cutting it. But it doesn't even matter. The flavors were amazing, well seasoned and drenched in this green sauce that I don't even know. It also came with french fries, which it didn't list and the fries were amazing. Perfect and crisp. Kat ordered the Grilled Tuna sandwich. The best of our three dishes. Just perfect. The tuna was medium rare and the flavors and the sauce went just so well together. We also dipped it in my sauce which was from the special of the day the eggs sardou. It's a different take of eggs benedict. It's poached eggs on artichoke buttons served with eggplant spears. Quite a small portion, but the hollandaise is perfect. Absolutely perfect. The mix of the hollandaise and the egg yolk because Kat and mine's dipping sauce for our tuna sandwich which was also amazing. She also dipped her sandwich in a side of tabasco glaze - it came as a side with my eggplant spears, I believe. It was tabasco sauce with powdered sugar, you mix it yourself and it becomes this sweet glaze that also goes along with the eggs and artichoke. Just an amazing meal. Didn't quite understand the small menu, but the food that resulted in this cryptic menu was above par.

We plan on returning tomorrow for brunch and regular eggs benedict =)

So after we went to Chikalicious because we craved chocolate. Molten chocolate lava cakes ya'll. Bangin. After Kat and I went to campus and Daisy went to babysit her 'brat' aka 'child of a woman who doesn't look after her own kids'. I ran some errands and Kat overall missed her class. We made her feel better by shopping. Didn't find much. Went into Uniqlo and purchased fleeces for my pops and a nice hoodie for me. Three jackets for 50 bucks. Holla. Headed to Topshop because I've never really been there before. There are so many levels. I should have went downstairs to topman because I know I would've bought something. I have a fetish for mens clothes. They're comfortable and fit well. The end. Don't argue with me.

I went home after and watched the last episode of 30 Rock - "The Problem Solvers." The first episode that made me laugh out loud really hard in a long time. I suggest you watch it. Unless you haven't seen 30 Rock before. You won't get it. In that case, watch all of Season 1, 2, and 3 then 4. Cool. Met up with Kat and Christine after. Brought Christine to a bar and Kat and I finally headed off to watch NY, I Love You. Can I just say, I'm disappointed. I don't want to ruin the movie for anyone, but it was definitely not good. Sorry people, fail fail fail. Paris, Je T'aime's structure is what NY, I Love You should be based on. But, no. They thought because they're so good at moviemaking in Hollywood they can do whatever the hell they want. So they botch the movie. Dislike dislike dislike.

Anyways, saw Soo Young after at Kats. We chilled a bit and now I'm home. Capturing the good times of today. =)

Fin.
