We Can Has Spring/Summer Weather Nao?
I went and tried this little pizza place called "Valarmos" which I'd read about in the UW's student newspaper. Supposedly their calzones are "the size of a football."
LIIEESS! It's a whole half-an-inch shorter in height than a football! Never mind that it's the same length and width, I declare false advertisement!
I got the "clucker calzone" which is marinated chicken, roasted red peppers, red onions and mozzarella. The crust I could pretty much eat by itself, the mozzarella is thick and gooey enough that you can pull, and pull, and pull and the cheese won't let go, and they don't skimp on the rest of the "toppings." Though, I sorta wish I'd asked to have it without the onions, because it tends to drown out the rest of the flavors. I'd finished a little less than half, not because I was stuffed but because I didn't want to run the risk of overeating and then having to walk in the heat down to the bus-stop (because there was no way I was walking all the way back to UW from where Valarmos is). The price is excellent, too. Less than $10 for what is now counting as 2 meals. It reheats pretty well, but definitely better fresh.
Annddd.....that's the end of my random food review.
I went to B&N earlier and got the last of my "required" texts for Rome, as well as a Moleskine notebook which fits nice and snug in my back pocket ^___^. I was going to renew my B&N membership, which is why I refrained from indulging myself with sci-fi/fantasy books, but found out my sister beat me to it. It's probably for the better; I've got enough to buy for Rome as it is.
Also went to Baskin Robbins. And bought a World Class Chocolate milkshake; not very original, considering I always have the same flavor when I buy shakes, but it's just oh-so-delicious. *mourns the fact that she has no more World Class Chocolate milkshake*
So, for Rome, I have to prepare this little presentation/talk(s) on something Roman. A site, books, etc. etc. I didn't know what I wanted to do, and I kept putting it off until a few days ago because I just plain didn't know, but a new email from the prof made me decide to actually research my choices. I went back to the list of topics, and one kept leaping out of the screen at me:
Via Appia.
I felt like I'd seen that before. So, I Wikipedia'd (that really, really shouldn't be a verb) it, and found that it was the Appian Way. And I recalled from a little earlier, when I'd been looking up Doctor Who quotes to put on my door, that there was a quote the Doctor said in Fires of Pompeii: "Yes way no way Appian Way!"
......I e-mailed the prof and asked to have that as my topic. Heh.
I have a Korean presentation coming up this Thursday *shudders* and I needed a topic on Korea, cultural, linguistic, historical, etc. I decided to do the 1988 Summer Olympics that was hosted in Seoul, and only after I realized the connection between Via Appia-Doctor Who did I remember that the Doctor was a torchbearer in the Olympics.

Dr. Cuddy: [Stops stripping and looks at House] I'm distracting you. [starts to get up]
Dr. House: No!
[Cut back to Cuddy who is now dressed normally and sits down next to House]
Dr. House: Dance, woman!
Dr. Cuddy: [Resignedly] You'd rather be diagnosing.
Dr. House: I screamed "no"!
Dr. Cuddy: And your own subconscious ignored you. I guess you'd rather fantasize about finding symptoms. How screwed up is that? --House, House's Head
