So it's official!! I'm writing a foodie blog for the school!
I guess they're trying to get rid of the actual paper and just do an online thing... which makes sense I suppose. DelVal isn't necessarily known for it's outstanding journalistic endeavours, it may surprise you to discover. I'm going to be reviewing area "hot spots," more-or-less. I need to do some restaurant-reviews-reading to get an idea of just exactly how to go about doing it... But I think I'm going to do The PorterHouse for my first one (oh c'mon, everyone should've known that was coming!) and then I'll have more time to prep for my second one. Woo!
Weekend was swell... Wes, Mike and I went to Red Robbins for dinner on Friday night (they have a 27oz margarita!!). I got the french onion soup because that's usually my yummy-but-cheap fall-back... not so in this case. I guess a place known for its burgers can't be expected to make half-decent onion soup, unfortunately. From there we went to The Horse (formally, The White Horse) which was dead for a Friday night. Good for us. Bad for the owners. There were literally just enough people there to fill the bar. We really liked it, obviously, because it's a lot of chatting with the bartenders and making good with the guy that runs the place plus we're not being pushed around and having a tough time getting service. A BUSCH rep was there so we got free junk and free beer (I opted for the Labatt's over the Bud Light... ick) so all was swell.
Saturday was relax and recover day. Wes and Mike went to Mike's brothers house... I stayed behind. And napped. It was glorious. They're taking a hiatus from stinky Sean because he has a habit of hooking up with everyones ex-girlfriends (I think he's up to 5 or 6 and still going strong)... which is uber shitty of him. The worst BO ever, has a "fiance," and still manages to find other girls that will get naked with him? What is this world coming to!!!???
Sunday we went to the pet store and food for the pig. I finally broke down and bought him a giant ball because he's a little tub-tub and we don't let him run around as much as we used to in Gwynedd. Sadly, piggie did not appreciate the ball as much as we did. He literally just sat in it for an hour and was like, "What the F*%# do you want me to do?" Oh well. I'll keep trying it... hopefully he'll get the hang of it.
Then to Andrews for the superbowl! Tons of food and tequila, good friends, and a great football game. It was a pretty fun evening. Poor Andrew though... he mixed his first drink a little strong and missed the end of the game I think. I was rooting hard for the Cardinals and they almost had it... but almost isn't enough. Epic game though!
This will be my first full week of classes. I'm exhausted already.
OH! And yes, I gave my blog a snowy-facelift. I realize that the picture at the top of my page doesn't fit properly... and it really annoys me... but I haven't taken the time to fix it (obviously). I shall later. Maybe.
