I've got a lot of mini things to post about

1) I've finished Book #7 of the 50 books I plan to read this year. This one was A Cook's Tour by Anthony Bourdain. I've started to like reading travel books, mostly because the authors get to go to fun places that I either have never been to or will never be able to go to. This one is about food. Food + Travel = Happiness in my mind. In this book, Bourdain travels around the world looking for the perfect meal. He goes to Russia, Vietnam, Cambodia, France, California, Morocco, etc. and tries everything from goat testicles to (the much dreaded) vegan food. In the process, he more or less comes to the conclusion that there really is no one perfect meal. I've never actually seen his show. Might have to at some point. He's got kind of a big ego, but his book's a fun read.

2) This season of Lost has yet to disappoint. What happened last night? A lot of things. It was a Kate-centric episode so we got a lot of Kate and a lot of Jack-face. Still no flashback, which is kind of disappointing. Sayid demonstrated more of his pure powers of awesome. Someone's lawyers are trying to take Aaron away from Kate since he's not really his kid. She stalks the lawyer to figure out who it is. The lawyer happens to go to Claire's mom. Jack, being Claire's half-sister, steps up and says "hay, i've totally got this." He confront's Claire's mom and it turns out she has no idea what he's talking about, so he Jack-faces away into the distance and tells Kate to leave as quickly as possible. We find out it's Benry's lawyer doing all of this. He's also getting Hurley (or Hugo, since that's what everyone seems to be calling him now) out of prison. Anyway, Jack tells Kate that they HAVE to get to the docks, where they meet Ben and Sayid. Kate is clearly pissed that Jack tricked her into meeting with Ben. Sun, meanwhile, is hiding in a car with Aaron and is holding a gun that she got out of a chocolate box.

Meanwhile, on the island, we return to Quantum Leap on crack. Charlotte, Miles, and Juliette get nose bleeds. Sawyer sees a scene from Season 1, they get shot at by random people, and Ziggy malfunctions once again. Oh, also...Jin's alive. Yay! He gets rescued by a boat full of French people and we get to see young pre-crazy jungle woman Rousseau. Given that they're quantum leaping, we won't see her for long, but I wonder if we're going to FINALLY get backstory on that woman.

Also, I wonder if present-Locke is dead for good.

Yup, I don't think we have to worry about Lost going back to the crapfest known as Season 3 for a while.

3) There was a lot of eating today.

For lunch, I went with Jamie and a couple of other girls to Ananda Fuara, which is a vegetarian restaurant on Market and Larkin. I pass this place whenever I go to Walgreens and it's intrigued me for quite some time. Unfortunately, I feel like it was closed whenever I walked by. Considering how drab and semi-Tenderloiny it looks from the outside, it's really cute on the inside. I was actually pretty nonadventurous today and had eggplant parmesan, something I could have just as easily gotten at Morty's next to GAAP. I don't know. I was in an eggplant mood. It was really good though. It's also relatively inexpensive and I've heard good things about their other dishes, so I guess I'll have to go back and try something else there some other time.

For dinner, I went with KALSA to Cocobang. It was a post-BOB party since KALSA hosted BOB. I was actually supposed to volunteer and pass out kimbap at BOB, but I could only get Career Office appointments at BOB time or GAAP time and I figured that helping homeless people was just a little more important than giving law students free kim bap. I missed Korean drums, apparently, though. That would have bee fun. Anyway, we went to Cocobang. Chris and I had been there before. It's definitely one of those places that's more fun to go to in a big group. We shared chicken, and bibimbap, and dokkbokki, and I don't remember what else. We also had soju. It was fun. A lot of the group went to a norebang after. Jeanne and I went back. Homework, what else?

4) Group auditions yesterday for Idol were fun. That Tatiana girl is obnoxious, but she's never going to bring as much drama as the twins from Season 5. In fact, they might as well give up trying to make Hollywood week seem uber dramatic becaus there is never going to be a Hollywood week moment as great as this one.

That's it. Sleep time.
