Melting pot.

Last Friday, I had the privilege of eating out every meal. Yum.

Breakfast was with Luke at a Panera Bread restaurant. It was a simple meal of an everything bagel with sundried tomato cream cheese and a coffee. Nothing special, though Panera is a great place to get bread-like things; you can go there for more than just breakfast.

Lunch was at some Japanese restaurant with Phil and Alisha. It was a much simpler and casual Japanese restaurant than I've usually gone too, but it was still tasty. Teriyaki beef with rice, tempura, and California rolls (would have gotten sushi, but it wasn't in the combo meals...oh well).

Dinner was spent with Joe, Nate, Kathryn and her sister Emily at a Thai place called Renu Nakorn. It's actually frequented by many Biola students, and even more frequented by Joe and his MC gang. Had a meal called Pad Thai, which was a lot of noodles and veggies and peanut sauce (at least, I think that's what I tasted). Awesome. Loved it.

Of course, it was Friday night after that, so I couldn't be a loser and just go home. Time to party! Heh, not really. But the group from the Thai dinner went back to Nate's place and watched a Bollywood movie called Veer-Zaara, which was surprisingly good. I thoroughly the story, and the acting wasn't half bad either. It REALLY bugged me, however, that the voices they got to sing for the actors (it was a musical) didn't match with the actors voices at all. Also, it was three hours long. That didn't gel with me much either.

Then we followed that up with a wonderful Hollywood-ized movie called Mean Girls. I love that movie.

So I sort of embraced like four different cultures in one day. Well okay, it's more like three if you don't count Mean Girls. I did because it was about a girl who homeschooled in Africa. That's good enough, right?

The pictures of my outdoor extravaganzas haven't been put up yet! I need to find a computer with some kind of image-editing capabilities. It's pretty frustrating to be around computers good enough to run such programs, yet they don't have any of them installed! Ugh!
