Slowly Learning...

So Ithaca went very well. Got to catch up with Bri again, and we even had lunch at ABC Cafe (mmm, broc and scallion omlette; but weird place to go with Bri of all people). We did a lot of walking and talking too. Spent some time on the slope on top of the library. Walked the gorge trail. And of course finished the afternoon with a trip to the used book/record store. Bri found some good books, and I found five fantastic albums. I got the Go-Gos, Supertramp Live in Paris, Supertramp's Breakfast in America, Queen Live, and a 45 with Zorba the Greek and Tijuana Taxi by Herb Alpert and the Tijauna Brass. All fantastic finds in my book. And finished the great day off with a fabulous smothered burito at Viva (that one by myself as Bri had previous dinner plans).

So the day went well, and the vegetarian thing is still going strong.

In other news...

- Go France! I want to so badly see France kick Italy's ass. And this isn't just a recent personal pro-France swing for me. True there are certain factors that have made France a little more appealing to me, but I've always liked the country. In fact, back when Dave and I used to play Fifa on SegaCD I always played as France. Plus I've always had something against Italy. Not the team, the country. Not sure why. Just there.

- Coming Soon: WEDDING! Not mine of course (that's quite a ways off I think, might need to find a woman first). But this coming weekend will be Neil and Rachel's wedding celebration down near the NYC area. Still haven't decided whether that will mark the end of my veg-trial, or maybe I'll extend it until the end of July. Either way it will be a grand weekend, and I finally will get to see Sabra again.

- There is no third thing, but I thought I'd put another bullet here anyway. Things just seem better in threes. I guess I could mention that both of my road trips for next summer (Veags with the Brits and Seatle with Bri) have been reaffirmed/confirmed. So I guess I'm going to have a busy summer next year. And yes, for those of you that know me/Bri the idea of a road trip would seem improbable (impossible?), but it will happen. If for no other reason than to prove you doubters wrong. Go spite!
