Home Body

Im cold and tired. And I dont wanna go anywhere, so im here surfin the web and I got 5 new things that are super cool and on my mind... here we go

-Book-

Just saw my dad the other day and he had just finished reading the Edward Kennedy Memoir, True Compass. He said it was really good, so naturally i asked him if i could read it. I need a new potty reader lol. So yeah, after my PEDS and Psych

shelves i'll start it.

-TV show-

Law and Order: SVU is just a really good show. I dont get to watch TV much at all, but if I can remember, I try my best to watch SVU. The actors are so comfortable and natural in their characters, because the show has been around for a while, and its believable. Not like 24 or some of these other shows, the SVU team will miss the bad guy and they dont have super human strength. Shit, sometimes they need saving their own selves.

-Eatery-

I have a love hate thing with DC's china town. I think its too small and too crowded to actually be a real "spot" for some reason i really do like some of the restaurants down there. I think my own new place is Bar louie, in right next to Verizon Center. The attitude is pretty chill and the food, though bar food, is GREAT. I've had sandwiches and appetizers and even an adult snow cone lol, but today i had the voodoo chicken for lunch and it was pretty much a home run. I'll attach a link to the menu. http://www.bluepointamerica.com/uploads/docs/BLMenu_A++_0409_WEB.pdf

-Shoe-

I dont know why but Im really contemplating on getting these Toms cordones [the ones with the shoe strings]. Everyone swears by them and I think i need a good knock around multipurpose shoe. I just gotta decide between the black and brown... I'll probly get both and return the one i dont like

-Mentality-

Activism. Not so much like storming capitol hill or anything, just activism in the sense of getting your proverbial "hands" dirty and doing stuff for the community. I guess I'm saying this because on the pediatrics clerkship we've done a fair amount of site visits. We go to child care facilities around DC and see how the run and I love the feeling i get. They are mostly really community centered and no so cookie cuter like some of the suburban places I've seen. They all have a unique feel thats kind of organic and pure. Idk, maybe i'm romanticizing a little too much, but I think i would love to spend time working in community centers and maybe one day open my own. who knows

aight back to dinner [coco puffs w/ soy milk]
