The Fun, and Food!

Anyone else have the experience that the right kind of crazy people are harder to find than one might think? (I'm not going to turn this into a rant-fest, I promise!) My observation is that while there are crazy people on campus, they're just not the same as we are when we all get into a group. True, it doesn't take a lot for a group of people to begin acting like a bunch of drunken fools even without alcohol. But being able to make scientific sort-of jokes while you're at it is...let's call it special :P

My point is that I miss you guys, and that we really should do things like the NYC trip more often. AND we should get together a list of places we want to see on our food-oriented road trip after senior year!!!

If you haven't heard this latest idea, here it is: After senior year, we make our way around the country (Janet's idea is to rent an RV) and follow our stomachs. That's the basic idea - we go around the various cities, working our way from Virginia to the north, meandering westward in the northern half of the US, taking in the sights and the foods along the way. Upon reaching the west (California), we work our way back along the southern half of the country, sampling foods once more.

Soooo....now I go into the part where I discuss how I watch Food Network far too much. (Is that a bad thing?) Guy Fieri's not my favorite host, but while watching the show "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives", I saw a short bit about this restaurant called "Dor Stop" in Pittsburgh. It's supposed to be a really great place for diner food. I also saw a soft taco place on this Rachel Ray show - I'm trying to remember where it is and what it's called, or even if I saw it on a Rachel Ray show at all. Oh well, it'll come back to me. For now let's just leave it at the Pittsburgh restaurant for the list.

I'll post more on what's actually going on here at W&M, but seeing as classes just started and my culture club has yet to begin practicing for our play, nothing truly interesting has happened thus far.

Diary MIA

So since the diary is MIA/so 20th century :D, Hannah's idea of a blog is excellent. Write stuff on here, I'm sure any little tidbit about your lives will be interesting for all of us.
