Heat Wave.
One of my best friends and roomate, Jake, has gotten a new job out in San Francisco. Well before he moved out we wanted to give him a going away party. We decided to do a pot luck. I made Santa fe chicken pasta, one person made brochette, another made dip and someone else brought cupcakes. We had a lot of fun but needless to say it was lackluster cause the fact that he was leaving. Although I did make him an awesome card that was based off of a tweet that our friend Christian mysteriously made pop up on jakes twitter. We all got a huge laugh out of it.
That weekend I decided to go home. I went out to eat at this awesome sushi place called Dó. This soup I got was phenomenal and as always the sushi was incredible. I also went and hung out with one of my closest friends, Scott. He was working out in the garage when I got over there. He was flocking a dash. Basically it makes the dash suede. He had just got back from Scraping the Coast, a car gathering of low-riders and modified trucks essentially, and while he was there; he and his girlfriend got me a present. It was two zombie comic books. They're awesome and the people that got them for me are more awesome than I can ever explain. That night we smoked our friends hookah that he brought back from Afghanistan. It was incredibly relaxing. The next day I just took the day to myself to watch movies and go to barnes and noble. I saw a lot that I wanted but didn't have the money to buy. Although, I did buy a new cook book for $8. Haha
On the fourth of July I had an amazing day of food and hanging out watching fireworks with some of the most amazing people I know ever. It was probably the best day I've ever had in years. I also got an awesome little bonsai tree as present from her. It's currently not growing at the moment but I still love it!
Classes started last week and they've actually been kicking my ass. I'm taking life drawing and painting 1. I love my teachers and I'm learning a lot but this whole 8-5 in the studio deal is really hard work. My meals reflect it. I am learning a lot and that's all that matters.
This past weekend was a lot of fun. I went to this thing at Harrah's in Tunica, Ms called Harrah's Heat Wave Pool Party. It's only $5 to get in and the drinks are a little pricey but overall it was pretty cool. I also tried my luck at the slots. I lost $19 and decided to walk out with my pride in hand. That night I helped my friend work on his car but we didn't get too far considering we started at 1 a.m. and spent 30 minutes doing it the wrong way. That weekend I also ate at Ghengis Grill, one of my favorite places to eat at!
When I got back home I started working on the Save the Date cards my hair stylist hired me to do. So far I like the way they're coming but I'll post pics of them in the next update, when they're finished.
Speaking of updates.. I'm thinking this coming up week is gonna be a little different. I'm going to Austin, TX on Friday so I'm going to make an update solely based on that and also I've been thinking about doing a "Tour of Starkville" style post. Most people think of this place as cows and farm fields, when it is far from that.
Thanks for reading and keep a heads up for the new posts next week!
