A Taste of Atlanta

(before, during and after shots of me trying sushi.)

So, I went to Taste of Atlanta festival...thing. And it was so much fun! Trying all new and different foods! Just the experience alone was captivating!I'll love to take my mom next time. I'm sure you've figured out this was my first time going to a taste festival thing. Wow... I loved it. I went with my boyfriend and we ran the streets like little lost children. (ha ha ha) I took lots of pictures, taste lots of food (including sushi) and went to Ikea afterward for a little window shopping. (Hey, there's nothing wrong with a little wishful planning) Well, here's some pics! Enjoy!

It's Friday!

Helllllllllllllllo!
I'm back! I know what you're saying: She's only been blogging for a few weeks and she's already taking breaks?
If I wrote every single day, you'll get tired of me...right? Exactly.
So, nothing too exciting happened today. I went to work for the majority of the day. (1 to 10pm) It was long, but still ok. I had a pretty good day. Made a few drinks, joked with the co-workers, blah... We got on the subject of Spongebob. Now I think he's gay. But one of my associates, manger and some random customers think he's natural. My bro thinks he's gay, too but my boyfriend thinks he's natural. Hmmmm, what do you think? Come on, the guy does the gayiest things! (rainbows, too close with patrick, don't seem to like females.) lol Well, it's all in fun.
I got a call from my boyfriend today during my break. He said my cat threw up under the microwave. I didn't think that was possible. My poor little paco. :( But he seems fine now. Yay!!
I guess I'll cut this one short. I got to work again tomorrow (12 to 8)
And Sunday, I'm planning to go to a tasting party thing... I hope it's fun. It'll be my first!
Til next time!!

What a boring Wednesday

I thought I was gonna die today.
Now, I know what you're thinking...why would you think you're gonna die? Well first of all, I stayed up kinda late and got up really early. I had a full day of class today (8 to 6) And it rained ALL day...AND all my classes are still in the beginning so it's super boring. AHHHHH! I watched Casablanca in my film studies class today. I really wanted to finally see that movie but it was boring, it was raining and I was feeling a cold coming on. I fell asleep on and off. *sigh* I gotta write a paper on that in a week or two. Art History, I'm confused. Digital Video Editing, I can't seem to get past the first part. What's going on?!?!?!
Anyway, I took a long nap when I got home. It was the best I had in a while. I ate two bowls of soup and now I'm chillin' with my bro and my dude. I guess it wasn't that bad of a day. I surely could of went for a waffle bowl sundae today... yum... dang...
Til next time

Nap time in the house

Today was laid back.
I went to the mall to go to the apple store. I also went to see my bro at work. (he hates work! lol) I had to go to my job to turn in my school schedule. It was good to see everyone.
Then I got home and started working on my blog.


Everyone fell asleep, but me. (ha ha ha!)
Look at the sleepys...lol. My cat woke up just in time to see me get his pic.
I got my first comment today. It wasn't what I had in mind..but hey! It's my first comment! Yay! Love or hate, it's a start. Someone cared enough to read my stuff. I hope to get more, but let's not get too excited. lol
I gotta go to school tomorrow at 8am and be there til 6pm. Dang, that's work hours. Oh well, at least I'm only going to school for 2 days out the week.


For some reason, my bf's friend got a problem with my headline pic (that pic of me with the white shirt that's open). I didn't think it was a terrible pic. It's tasteful. And if my boyfriend approves of it, I think it's ok. You know, he just inspired me to make up a post called "Professonal Haters" because man, there is a LOT of that going on everywhere. LOL
Til next time!

School is Back!!

Ugggh!
School is back on track peoples! After a semi-long break (3 weeks) out of school, we're finally back to spending bunches of money on tuition and supplies, and not to mention those rip off parking stickers!! Yes! That's right! AIA is back to raping us poor art students and not at all feeling a little remorseful about it. Oh well, what can I say? It's the way of the world, eh? I can't wait to get out of there.
So, I got up and went to school for my first class, which was at 10am only to realize that they some how took me out of one of the classes I needed. (Darn it!) I had to spend another 30 minutes in the Academic Affairs office to get that straighten out. Finally, I was back to being a full time student. BUT I still couldn't go to class just yet. I had a hold on my account. Next, I spent a whopping 45 minutes waiting in line in a crowded Financil Aid office just to be told I still owe them some paper work from my mom's 07 tax return! Why is this SOOOOOOOOOOOO urgent!!?! If I don't clear this, I can't go to class. (Boo Hoo) Well, they ended up giving me a one day pass to go to class for the day. I only had one more class. By this time, I've officially missed my first class of the quarter and of the day. Wow...why am I not surprised? After that, I went to get my "Official Schedule" which they change the color of the paper they put it on to add a little pazzazz, I guess...LAME!! I finally got to go to class, which was art history 2 and that was...interesting. I'm not fond of history so we'll see how this goes, again.
And finally, my day at school was over with until Wednesday. Yay!!

I went home and got my boyfriend and we went to Abadabbas-some shoe store I see a million commericals about and never got a chance to actually see what it was about. Well, we finally went while it was still open. (yea, we tried numberous of times to go but it was always closed.)
It wasn't a bad store but I tell ya, the shoes were not as "affordable" as they say on the commericals. Every shoe I liked, my boyfriend picked it up and said "Wow, $189.00!" The cheapest shoe was the socks. I'm not knocking them, but I was thinking affordable would be more around the $20-80 for casual kicks. I think I'm going to Target.
Next, we went to Lenox Mall! YAY!! But another place that's way out my budget. We went looking for a gift for my little cousin (which her birthday is on the 13th) and to get a smoothie from Planet Smoothie! Yuuuuuuuuuum! I got "the last mango" while my boyfriend is on this chocolate-banana kick and got a "Chocolate Chimp"and you know what? It was actually good this time! (Good pick, Bookie) Last time he got a "Chocolate Elvis" and it was soooooooooooo nasty!
Then we went to a store called "Prophey time"....wow...
I NEVER see ANYONE in there and now I see why. They only had these huge watches that suppose to be a phone, mp3 player and something else besides being a watch. They also had these terrible paintings, supposively all the things in the store were things you can't get anywhere else. (and I see why.) The dude that worked there looked BORED!!!
Then my dude got me some chocolate from the Lindt store. YUM on top of sprinkles! It was lovely and the lady even threw in two extra peanut butter balls! I was happy. lol

Then we left, but I forgot that I wanted to show my boyfriend something. I was telling him (just like I was talking about in my previous blog about the homeless guy I always see), that that man is ALWAYS on the corner from morning to night. He always get money! So, I talked my boyfriend into going to see they guy and guess what? I got a picture!! He's a really nice man. The man asked "Hey, got any change?"
My boyfriend said "Yea, can we get a picture of you?"
Man "Yea!"
Then I snapped the pics. But they came out a little blurry. I guess that's good 'cause it can be like protecting that guy's identity or something. I don't know. I think I'm going to bring him a blanket when it gets cold or take him out for lunch and interview him for a future blog. I don't know. We'll see if I have the guts.
Ok, so then we went to Target. I needed notebook paper for school. Lucky me it was only 10 cents! Now that's what I call affordable!! :)

Then we went to my brother's apartment to get these darn tax papers from him and got a copy at Kinko's, I meant FedEx Office...whatever.

By the way, my bro is a VERY talented producer and does a little rapping as well. He has a Halloween EP he's putting out soon... Yea, I was thinking the same thing. I'm sure it'll be great and different since nobody else I've heard of has done it. (breakin' records on ya'll!) We'll see how this goes!




And then I got home and cooked Hamburgers on the George Forman Grill and Fried some fries and ate with my bookie while we watched one of the WORST movie/documentary whatevers I've seen in my life. (Thanks alot, Jerm)
And that just about sums up my wonderful eventful day. Also, I ended up falling asleep in my clothes and woke up with a sore thoat. UGH!!!

Til next time!

My off day

What's going on?
So, today I had an off day of work. Yay! I cleaned up the home a few days ago, so I decided to use today to run my errands (?)
Started out with me getting on the bus. That bus was REALLY bootleg. They need to do something about that, seriously. (cheapos!) The darn doors didn't work, so you had to get off in the front where you got in at. Nothing wrong with that but still. The windows didn't close. It was kinda chilly today. And for some strange reason, the bus had a terrible hydraulic effect every time we stopped or just riding...yea, that bad! What is the deal?! Not to mention, the bus driver had a REALLY bad attitude. I don't know who peed in her oatmeal today. Jeez... Don't bring your problems to work, people!!
So, I went to school and hung out for a while where I spend most of my time in school- the financil aid office. Stressful as usual! It's always something with those people!!!
Ok, then I left to go to the mall to the food court. This mall in particular has a GREAT variety at the food court. I really wanted Burger King but they took it out. When did this happen!?! So, I got a few samples of the chinese/japanese food and then I ended up going to chick'fila. Wow..great choice, jay. You have one down the street from you. Then afterwards, I got an delicious smoothie. Oh yum times 100!! It was from Planet Smoothie- which personally I think is better than Smoothie King. (shhh! don't say nothing) I tried this drink called "The Last Mango". It was made of Mangos (of course), Peaches, Banana and Orange Sherbet. I highly recommend. You'll have a break down...at least I did. LOL
When I was leaving, this lady walked up behind me and looked at mine's and said, "Wow, that looks good! What's that called?" The guy who made the drinks said "The last Mango" Then the lady replied "Oh no, so you mean there's no more?" I know, corny. But it was kinda funny when it happened...Don't act like you don't know!!! :-P
On my way out, I was walking to the bus stop, and I saw this homeless guy. This is the SAME homeless guy I've seen 2 years ago. Why does this man still hang outside of this mall? Why hasn't the police got him yet? Is he really homeless? All this and more ran through my mind. I was THIS close to asking that man for an interview and then I chickened out...ugh! That would of made an interesting post. I tried to get a pic of him...that was even harder. Do homeless people have rights? Ok, I'm sorry. I shouldn't of said that. But don't you wonder that sometimes?? Ok, there I go again. Let's get off this guy... But for real, don't you wonder if people like that are really homeless or just plain lazy, OR maybe they are con artist because I've heard a few cases of that.
Anyway, I really need a coat because it's getting cold outside now. (yes! loves the fall and winter!) Anyway, had a nice quiet evening at home. My cat was being bad all day. He bit me on my nose. Besides that, not a bad day. Still feel like I forgot to do something...

Is this concidered cheating??

What's going on?!

Man, I was terribly disturbed today because I haven't gotten a phone call I was waiting for. Well, I went to work today and I tell ya, I wanted it to be over SO quick. Time was not moving for nothing. It was like, "Yea, I'm take my time AND on top of that, I'm gonna make sure you have a slow day with no customers." Yea, thanks a lot.

So, I'm standing there bored out my mind and manage to make it to the last 30 minutes 'til it was time for me to go. So, I decided to make up some samples for the customers. (If you didn't know, I work at a coffee shop. We're suppose to sample everyday.)
Anyway, I tell ya...I think I'm in love. (don't tell my boyfriend)

But man, it was the hottest thing I ever seen. He melted in my mouth. He was light like white wheat, had a lot of meat on 'em (not too chunky, tho) and something he had on him made him smell 10x better than I would imagine. Now, I usually don't go for things like this, but something about 'em, I had to try. And when I did, I felt like I was gonna faint! (Yea! That good!!) I wish I had more time, I wish I had more period...









Damn, those Turkey Haivardy sandwitches are SOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!!!
You've just read my first entry of Food Porn! Get your lust on!! :)
