My First Place: Day 74

Last night was fun. Daddy came over, and took me and Kai to Cafe Capri in Bryan. I was torn between the Tortellini A la Capri and the lasagna, but Kai got the tortellini and Daddy got the lasagna, so I had to get something else. And that something else was the Key West, which was delicious. And in the car, we listened to the new Sonata Arctica album. Look 'em up. They're amazing. And the drummer is hawt. Their song 'Flag In The Ground' is steadily climbing the list of my favorites. We also went by the house Daddy grew up in, which was kind of neat. I don't remember much about the first house I lived in. Anyway, that was last night.

This morning, I did something I've never done ever before. I mean, this is a total first. I fried an egg. I mean, I can make scrambled eggs like nobody's business, but leaving the yolk whole? Now that's just crazy talk. I think I got it halfway between over medium and over hard. I like 'em fried hard. And I had dinosaur toast. Which blows regular toast out of the water. So, all in all, a pretty healthy breffus, if I do say so myself (and I just did)

Arglemargle. Emailed my Shakespeare prof about coming in to talk to him about a few things, but his office hours are booked for today. I have to try again next week. I wanted to get him to help me come up with a topic for my paper, and I wanted to talk to him about this scholarship that pays you to study two years or more in the UK. I think it'd be strange not being able to come home, like, at all, but I think it'd be fun. I'm up for anywhere. England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, wherever. I'm debating on whether I should dispel myths about Texas or perpetuate them. I'm really tempted to tell people that, yes, we do ride horses everywhere, and we all have cattle ranches. Don't know whether I'll use the accent or not.

Kanji quiz in Japanese today. I'm so not ready.

UPDATE

... and now for a brief interlude.
