-went to Miami Grill at UTC Mall (this was my second time being there and it's not the most authentic Cuban restaurant around but since this is La Jolla/San Diego it'll have to do. I haven't had the entrees but the sandwiches are yummy and they're priced around $9-$11. don't get the "cuban fried rice" SO NOT WORTH IT)
-ventured over to the North Park area for dinner at Vagabond and drinks at Blue Foot bar. the food at Vagabond was good, but I made the mistake of ordering the Salmon with Coconut Lemongrass dish. The salmon and mussels and clams were awesome, but they were swimming in a creamy broth of coconut lemongrass soup. It was waaay too rich for me. The Blue Foot bar was cool, the music was kind of eclectic, and it definitely gets crowded as the night progresses. Unfortunately, I had way too much to drink (3 Long Island Ice Teas and 3/4 of a pint of some pale ale that resembled more of an Indian Pale Ale) and I don't remember much afterwards. All I know is that I blacked out and barfed up my dinner (this is where that creamy broth KILLED ME) at some point. The hangover was bad the next morning but only lasted like 3-4 hours haha
-SUPER BOWL SUNDAY!! Congrats to the Steelers! Went over to casa de Leo, Kelvin, and Curtis for the potluck bash. Had a great time there.
-dinner at Miyabi's which is like a Benihana type of restaurant. it was good.
-saw the movie "New in Town". total chick flick and it had its moments, but I don't recommend going out of your way to watch it. i thought it was going to be cuter.
Tuesday, got dinner at PB Sushi. Took a bunch of saki shots and had some good sushi. The service was a bit lacking and kind of overpriced for what it was.
Wednesday, I called in sick because I just did not feel good. I really needed rest, but I didn't want to be completely unproductive. Thus, I finished doing my bedding laundry, drove over to PB to look for boots, got a haircut, and then met up with a friend for dinner at Red Robin. I LOVE THEIR BURGERS! So these are pics of stuff I wanted to share from Wednesday.
These trees look pretty, right? Well, I think the scent the flowers give off makes me think of the smell of menstruation. GROSS I KNOW. At my high school, we used to have these trees EVERYWHERE and so every winter/spring when they would be in bloom, I swore the school would just smell like period. Yes, no matter how clean you are, if you're a girl, you know what I'm talking about when I refer to the smell of menstruation. Anyways, these were trees in the UTC mall parking lot near Macy's and Red Robin.
These two pics are of Pacific Beach. Look at how beautiful and clear the sky looks! Who would've thought that the next day it would be cold, wet, and miserable? This is why I love San Diego--their beaches are pretty amazing.
Well, I know it was a big entry, but I just wanted to share my adventures before I forgot all about them.
PS- IF YOU CLICK ON THE PICS, YOU GET A BIGGER/BETTER VIEW OF THEM!
