Enough for Now

One of my favorite bands is The Fray. I can (and have) listen to their albums on repeat for hours. Amazing melodies with incredibly beautifully written lyrics. They have this song called "Enough for Now" that I have listened to and "sang" along with at least 78 times since the album was released. By "sing" I mean today I realized every third word was not an actual word. Something like "Vlear to no for now" when it's actually "That's enough for now" (I'm serious, I would actually sing that). So I looked up the lyrics...and then the meaning of those lyrics. Break my heart Fray!

Step 1: Song
Step 2: Lyrics
Step 3: Interpretation
Step 4: Go hug your dad. And grandpa. And grandma. And mom.

Quote Burrito End Quote

Went to grab some grub and of course I'm craving a burrito. No taquerias in this city, but found a Mexican place. Ordered a burrito that cost me $14.07 and ate it with a knife and fork. How dare they call this a "burrito"

Same with this place called Shake Shack, maybe you've heard of it. You wait an hour to pay $20 to eat a burger the size of my palm, fries, and a small shake.

Food here is fabulous, but burritos and burgers cannot compare...

Best of the Bay

So with my recent Yelp craze, all which have been 3+ stars, I discovered you can make lists. This made me remember a draft of a blog post I had made a couple months ago, which is now published on the food blog. Will be transferred to Yelp if I should ever get around to rating all of those on the list. Not likely, but FYI, all will be 5 stars :)

I'm a Yelper!

I just wrote 9 yelp reviews. Helen, please read the last one I wrote on Land Northeast Thai. The dessert will blow your mind.

But I only reviewed the places I really liked, so I need to find some bad places to review. Otherwise I lose credibility with the Yelp community...

It's really over

McDonald's

Freaking crazy overpriced exorbitant robbery costly pricey expensive city!

S: "We don't have much time before our movie, let's go to McDonald's, it's right there."
V: "K"
...
S: "Where's the dollar menu?"
V: "What?"
S: "The dollar menu. I want a double cheeseburger."
V: "There is no dollar menu."
S: "What do you mean there's no dollar menu."
V: "What are you talking about? There's never been a dollar menu."
S: "WHAT? Oh, you mean in Manhattan?"
V: "No...I've never seen a dollar menu at a McDonald's. I spent like 8 bucks here last time. There's only a dollar menu at Wendy's"
S: "You're joking right?"
V: "..."

She wasn't joking. Apparently McDonald's in NY and Boston have. no. dollar. menus. I'm kinda devastated. Not that I eat McDonald's all the time, but it's where I go when I need a quick, cheap, don't care about my health meal! Gah! Poor V, never had a $1 McChicken or small fries or Double Cheeseburger or 2 Apple Pies or... Then I see a sign under the menu:

"Dear Customers,
Prices may be higher
in Manhattan
during the
current promotion."

Freaking expensive, NYC.
----
At the counter...
S: "Hi! 20 piece McChicken please." (V and I were sharing, I'm not that big a fatty!)
Cashier: "What? I can't hear you."
S: "Sorry, 20 piece McChicken."
Cashier: "What?"
S: "20 PIECE MCCHICKEN."
Cashier: "Uh, what do you want?"
S: "A TWEN-TY-PIECE-MC-CHICK-EN."
Cashier: ...
V: ...
S: ... "20 piece McNuggets please."

Silly Game

When I went home last week, Ronnie and I went to Joe DiMaggio's restaurant for DAT. We ended up playing this silly game you can only play with one of those long time friends that knows you better than you know yourself. (Btw, Ronnie's the gal in the background of my Blog pic aka Sharon). We took turns asking silly questions and turns out, I know Ronno pretty well. But this girl ended up with a score of I think 2 for 14! Ha! I'm just one big mystery aren't I??

Some of the questions, I can't remember them all. But no answers so I can remain...mysterious...oooh...:

• What is something I am afraid of?
• What is one of my pet peeves?
• Who was my first crush?
• What's my favorite beer? (Trick question)
• What are any of my top 5 favorite foods?

At this point, Ronnie is fed up with questions only Helen could answer because we love the same things (i.e. cheese, coffee, house watching, cheese...) and she actually reads this blog. Hi Helen!! So, now I have to change my questions to "meaningful ones":

• Why did I go to NY?
• If I didn't take my offer with Google, which company would I be working for? (Correct!)
• What was my favorite class at Cal? What was the most important class I took at Cal?
• I gave her a choice between 3 classes for the 2 options and she still got both wrong!
  

My score was something like 10 for 14. Here are some questions Sharon asked me:

• What's weird about my toes?
  
• My answer: "You cut your toenails so short they often bleed."
  
• Her answer: "No. I can crack my toes!" Uh, Ron that ain't some kind of superpower. My answer is better.
• Which eye do I have a mole on? (She covers her face)
• My answer: "...uhh...50-50 chance...THAT ONE!" Pointing to her right eye
• Her answer: Uncovering her eyes and leaning toward me, "...I don't remember, which one is it??!"
• "It IS that eye, I'm right, Booyah!"
  
• What did want to major in before Bus/Econ?
• My answer: "Architecture!"
• Correct!
  
• What's was my favorite class at Cal?
• My answer: "One of those science classes...Physics"
• "I never took physics."
• "Yes you did, you kept trying to explain how a bicycle works and I kept yelling, 'Dude I don't care!!!'"
  
• "OH YEAH! Ya, I really liked that class! But my favorite was Physiology."
• "Close enough."
  
• What's one of my pet peeves?
• My answer: "Too easy! When people color in different directions. Excuse me, I have to go the bathroom..."
  
• Her answer when I get back: "I got over the coloring thing a couple years ago. I hate when people go to the bathroom and leave me alone when we're at a restaurant."
