Went with a few friends after lunch today and grabbed us some Slurpees. The freaking machine was mislabeled and got some coconut punch Slurpee thing that looked exactly like the Coca Cola flavor, whatever though, it wasn’t that bad, wasn’t coke though alas.
Forgot to mention that they didn’t even have the 40oz cone shaped tops for the Slurpee cups either, had to ask for em… another pain at the local 7-11.
I’m going to write them a slightly stern letter and then I shall be the one with the last laugh, oh yes, comeuppance. I still need to go to Winnipeg, Manitoba (The Slurpee Capital of the World) one of these days and Slurpee it up with the locals, it’s on my list of things to do before I die… or get horribly injured… or horribly lazy.

I love the fact that music can affect me really easily, probably why I listen to it so often. But today is one of those days that literally every song I listen to flips a circuit in me, like changing channels on the television that is TB. Kind of annoying.
I’m going to get some chocolate at Burdick’s after work, I effing deserve it.

I’m going all the way with this lazy Sunday adventure, the goal? Put a dent in my couch the exact size and shape of my body. So far it looks like I’ll be victorious. I’m too lazy to even get to my PC so I’ll just write from my cell.
I’m always starving so I turn to Food Network as usual. What do I get to see? Some lady talking about a food getaway in Vancouver, Giada’s Weekend Getaways. At least now I have a short list of places to eat at when I visit Vancouver, whenever that will be, but it will be, I promise it.
The first place Giada visited was Lumiere where I NEED to get the butternut squash risotto and some sort of New Zealand-ish kiwi drink. After which I can reenact the scene from Temple of Doom on the world’s longest suspension bridge, preferably while making a fool of myself in front of others.
I was surprised to realize that I actually wanted to dine at an Indian restaurant, Vij’s. The food here wasn’t authentic Indian food and I know my food from the East. The food was how non-Indian food would be prepared if made with Indian ingredients, very enticing to the palette.
If I ever wake up for brunch then I’ll be heading to The Sandbar for some of their brown sugar covered West Coast salmon laced with soy sauce.
I really gotta stop watching Food Network when hungry.

I’ve never been much of a burger or a steak kinda guy (most likely because I’ve got dietary restrictions on my meat consumption), so I have never been in awe of a “great burger joint”. But yesterday a friend and I headed to Bartley’s Burgers in Harvard Square after a quick game of squash*. I’ve been there before, but he hadn’t, so it seemed like a good spot to get some post-game food.
Now Bartley’s is considered one of the great burger places in the US, yes, in the United States, but all I get there are veggie burgers anyway and no matter how amazing of a cook you are, a veggie burger in the end is still a veggie burger. I’ve had a few good veggie burgers in my life and many many bad ones, but yesterday was as expected, a well above average tasting veggie burger. I don’t know if I’d rush down there for another one, but I would definitely rush down there for the cajun fries and nestle crunch vanilla frappe I had with the meal.
Honestly, that frappe totally pushed us over the edge, we were just groaning from eating so much while walking down the street. Quite sexy eh ladies?
*Apparently somebody forgot to notify the front desk about not allowing reservations in some of the squash courts because of repainting. We had to grab another court (luckily their scheduled players didn’t show), but got kicked out after an hour. Alas.
