i went and saw the devil wears prada lastnight. it was cute but also annoying. i'm not really sure what was so irritating about it, the obsession with weight, obsession with looks, the fact that people are actually obscenely overpaid to make decisions about fashion in real life...all i know is that i was grouchy when i left the theatre.
but all in all the movie wasn't bad. pretty solid in terms of plot and character development, like i actually kind of cared about anne hathaway's relationship with adrian genier (cute) getting ruined by her job as meryl streep's bitch...
after the movie i went with megan and her friend alec on a quest for food. we went to ihop but got ignored because for some reason there were like a million people there so we left, because who waits at ihop for more than 15 minutes for a table? after ihop we tried joe's diner, but for some strange reason it was closed. weird. we settled on shesha which is a hookah bar, that has an amazing lebanese menu. too bad it took them like 4 tries to ring my order up correctly....but all that matters is that we got to play scrabble, they have amazing hummus, and flying dog heller hound bock. mmmmmm.
i have a test in zoology on monday that i am not at all ready for, my room is a wreck and i need to do laundry badly. i think today's going to be one of those days where i clean everything.
so i thought i had mostly kicked my starbucks habit, only going when i'm home in va beach due to it's lack of awesome little coffeeshops [like bollo's], but apparently the starbucks monster has gotten me again.
for a little background i need to say that i've been battling caffeine for a while; i quit for new years but started drinking coffee again in march to cope with classes and deadlines. i don't know why i always start drinking it again, caffeine makes me feel awful, all shaky and queasy, so i decided to quit again about a month ago. luckily for me stopping my caffeine intake isn't that hard, i just tell myself i'm not going to drink any more and then i don't. the problems start when i go to bollo's. i am basically in love with bollo's, the atmosphere and the pastries are amazing, but their caffeine-free selection is kind of lacking. this is where starbucks's summer drinks come in to play.
they have freaking frappuchino-blendish juice drinks! in pomegranate and tangerine! how am i supposed to resist frozen icy pomegranate goodness? i can't, because i am a weak person when it comes to pomegranate juice. the only thing that limits my intake is starbuck's evil prices. $3.10 for a tall, thanks for being such a jerk starbucks.
look at how yummy they are (this is the tangerine one, the pomegranate one is a delicious maroon color) mmmmmmmmm. go try one. you know you want to
