friday night i went to a reading in the mission with some school kids. well, first we got dinner at herbivore, which i didn't really realize was completely vegan aka anti-paleo. upside? i did get to have a tasty coconut ice cream milk shake. mmmm. i was briefly talking to my mom about paleo on monday and i do have to take a minute to appreciate how much fog city caters to all sorts of dietary needs (and boy do people have dietary NEEDS). i'm spoiled. it's great. i doubt i could walk into a cafe back in dallas and ask for an almond milk latte. come to think of it, i can't think of a coffee spot we ever went to that wasn't starbucks.
anyway, the reading. my acquanti-friend kh runs the every-other-monthly reading series and i'd been wanting to go for some time. he taught my city college class on fiction and wrote me a very nice rec letter before starting school. plus, i needed to scope out the scene. and it was very neat. heard some great stories, did some networking, and i think i'm going to try and submit for the next one. viva 2012!
saturday, went to mt. view for babysitting, top chef marathons and a triple-layer rootbeer float t made me with real ice cream that was insanely delicious and made me insanely sick. oh yeah, and there was french onion soup.
somewhere in all of that, i got sick for real and then spent monday getting well. it was great.
school started again on tuesday. tuesday was long. but great. it was nice to be around my classmates again and i'm thrilled with my classes/profs thus far.
wednesday, went to sb's place in oakland for a 'welcome-back-to-school' thing of sorts, which was very fun and shortly followed by a late-night trip to bob's donuts (24-hr-den-of-sin). more stomach aches. sugar-fueled dreams. but nothing compares to a crueller hot out of the fryer.
