Some people may or may not have been whisked away by enterprising gentlemen for a weekend of birthday adventures.
Some of those adventures may or may not have included:
Chancing upon some Spudnuts in Santa Barbara;
Scenery of a jaw-dropping nature;
SOLVANG! Solvang is like a town in Denmark, via Disneyland. In Solvang, some people may or may not [...]
A couple weeks ago, the Estimable Miss VV and I arose with the sun (or, well, clouds, actually – it was SoCal’s semi-annual Rain Week – not as exciting as Shark Week, but just as wet) and ventured forth for a double-whammy of giant, round breakfast foods with holes in the middle. This was an [...]
First, Paul Gross was on my flight, and I was going to tell him about how Slings and Arrows saved our lives, but then he wasn’t at baggage claim, and so I didn’t tell him anything.
And then! I discovered that hip hop karaoke is not, in fact, horrifying, but is wonderful because it is not, [...]
So, uh, the Vignette Pinot Noir Wine Country Soda?
Yeah. Pretty much just . . . grape soda.
In other exciting news: last night I said “I have a stomachache. I’m worried that it’s the flu, but hopefully it’s nothing.” Today I get to school and am informed that everyone has been told that I was diagnosed [...]
Oh, but you are tasty. Apparently, you are a bit of a thing in North Carolina, but I had never heard of you, even though I went to North Carolina for three entire days that one time. But anyhow, no worries, I still like you. Your particular cherry bouquet went so well with my spaghetti [...]
Friends, Romans, Countryfolk, this is what I am drinking right now:
It is pretty delicious. It might be a little bit too sweet for my tastes, but what is super exciting is the way that it smells like vanilla. This has got to be the most fragrant, aromatic pop (yes, POP, you crazy non-Canadians) I have [...]
Well, friends, my brain is about to fall out. I have spent all afternoon smashing my head against my exam list, and then all evening doing the reading for seminar this week, and I have some reading on British cultural history to do before bedtime, but I think it’s time for a soda [...]
There was no school on Wednesday so we had SUPER ADVENTURE TIME!
First we went here, to Galco’s Soda Pop Stop:
And this is what we took home:
And then we went to Fosselman’s, for the best ice cream ever,
(flavours pictured include: lemon custard, banana heath bar, chocolate covered strawberry, cinnamon)
And then we saw a truly remarkable diner [...]
We’ll be back to our regularly scheduled dress blogging next week, I promise. I’m planning one post that will riff on the Gossip concert I went to, what, two weeks ago now? and another on my new favorite girl group song (a song that involves either what is either a reference to organized crime or [...]
We ate toasted marshmallow ice cream and talked about boys,
I unexpectedly ran into one of my favorite spinster ladyfriends, who I didn’t even know was in town,
We shook our fists at the Dance Cave, apparently closed on Thursdays,
We said goodbye, filled with ounces and ounces of beer and nachos,
We almost didn’t find each other, because [...]
