gastronomically challenged.
Jul 19th
Time is now an issue.
The clock is counting down, and I am so very behind on my restaurant list. I’ve accepted the fact that I’m not going to finish, but I’d still like to make a sizeable dent in it if I can.
Therefore, I am putting myself open at any time to eat at any of the unmarked-off places on the list. Name the place and the time, and I’m there. And if I’m really feeling generous, I’ll even pick up the check. But that’s a completely subjective decision.
It’s crunch time.
for in that sleep of death what dreams may come.

I’ve been having a lot of weird dreams lately.
For someone who get tons of dejavu, dreams actually mean something to me. That thought alone kinda freaks me out, just because of the weirdness (and repetitiveness) of some of these dreams. If you really want more details, you can ask me yourself. I’m too lazy to type it all out here for the world to see. Besides, it could be about YOU (yes, one of the 4 people that reads this) and that would just be plain embarrassing.
More later, writer’s block just set in. And I just noticed that I have a dead (happy now?) pixel on my laptop. =(
next stop, nursing home.

I’m old.
Remember when you were little and you were like, “When am I EVER going to turn 10? I’m only EIGHT! It’s going to be FOREVER!” I wish I could have that feeling again.
Time flies as you get older. I felt like I just turned 21. Granted, it was uneventful, like every other birthday, but it didn’t seem like that long ago. At this rate, I’m going to be receiving stuff from the AARP before I know it.
This was the first year she forgot my birthday. It’s a little heartbreaking, but I’ll get over it. Having one of your best friends out of your life for an extended amount of time kinda sucks.
Regardless, I had a blast this year. Thank YOU, for making it more than just any other day of the year. =)

Went to Bone’s tonight. Man, that place is good. Had a big ol’ ribeye – bone in! No photo documentation, sadly, since I forgot to bring my camera. Let me just tell you that it was a work of bovine art.
Across the street was Jermaine Dupri’s new business venture, Cafe Dupri. Apparently tonight was the big grand opening and I’m sure all kinds of big names were there to holla at their boy. There was a line outside when we got to dinner, and there was still a line hours later when we left. I read up a little about it online, and it looks like JD wants to serve up some healthy southern food. Healthy southern food? That’s the biggest oxymoron ever. You can’t substitute lard! I will have to give him props for innovation though. No one in their right mind would have ever thought to make healthy southern food. Maybe I should open a vegetarian churrascaria.
But I’m still going to eat there. Why? Because it’s Dupri’s place. And he’s straight up baller. I’m going to stick out so bad it’s not even going to be funny. Holla.
writer’s block.
Jul 10th
I have severe writer’s block.
How severe is it, you may ask. Well, it’s severe enough to the point where I haven’t written anything worthwhile (or with proper grammar) since like 11th grade. Even writing creatively, which I used to be able to do on the fly, is an ordeal that begins strong but fizzes out not even 30 minutes in.
This current work, which I have managed to bang out more than a few pages of, is definitely not one of my better works. The characters are undeveloped. The plot seems like it’s going nowhere. And I think the constant inundation of movies on my brain has made it seem more like a movie script rather than a story/novel. I’d like Kate Beckinsale to play the role of Rebecca, please.
I think I just need a muse.
