Some times I check my blog to see if the author has updated. Shockingly I am never pleasantly surprised.
Food I
Thursday, 4 February 2010
So people will stop asking. This is where I’ve eaten in the last week or so.
Tasty China: I went there. I was largely underwhelmed. I don’t expect a “traditional” Chinese place to bread the Kung Pao Chicken. Before you hate on me for ordering that, its a Szechwan restaurant and Kung Pao chicken is the regional special along with hot pot which I will admit I didn’t try.
Chef Liu: Five stars. Baozi and cold spicy noodles were to die for, although a bit on the sesame side of things. The pan fried dumplings came out last but were easily my favorite, perfectly crunchy and served with vinegar. The menu was a bit intimidating even for me. The guys at the table next to us just ordered what I ordered. The four of us were the only white people there.
Cosmic Dave’s: this is kinda a joke but not actually cause I still effing love this place.
Dr. Bombay’s: Honestly after all the hype about the “monster cupcakes” I was underwhelmed. The frosting was everywhere. It was so sweet and the cake part was functionally stale. My date was very pleased with his homemade ice cream. As far as I could tell, it tasted like vanilla. This place is also painfully indie. It is trying so hard to be alternative I don’t even understand how to deal with all the crap on the walls and random philosophy books. It doesn’t feel very clean either…
Ormsby’s: This place is perfect for a nice date you don’t want to be nervous on. Its upscale but doesn’t have this feel like you aren’t welcome there cause you are young. The fries were soggy and under seasoned and the onion rings were really scary and big. I dunno how my date ate them. That said my chicken and apple sauasge served like a hot dog was yummy. The reason I’d go back? Our appetizer of squid and shrimp deep fried with very thin jalapenos and lemons was amazing. The cocktail sauce with sriracha was so delightful I couldn’t stop eating it. The lemons helped it from feeling too greasy. Yum.
Reading.

Me: oh yeah well I am dyslexic so last night’s hw took me forever. I couldn’t count all that stuff.
Kid: does that mean you can’t read?
Me: what? no… I am in college. I can read.
Kid: *writes “dyselxica” on a sheet of paper* Can you read this?
Me: Yes and its misspelled.

Mostly I think this site is foul and gross and not actually funny, but when it comes to furry things I can make an exception.

Writing Class
Thursday, 4 February 2010
Today a girl I didn’t know and I had to write a story based off of the newspaper headline “‘Hot Corpse’ sex trial presses on.”
The instructions were to make it “moving and subtle.” Ok Prof. No problem.
Thanks

big hugs and kisses to paige and ross for all the help with the overhaul of lisainpeking.com to make it a nice shiny new blog lisafromappalachia.com. There is only so long a girl can pretend to be in China but actually be in Atlanta. Ya’ know?

No I haven’t given up on the dream of my marriage to Rob or my joint ownership of his dogs.
