Tales of the Caf, Vol. II

April 19, 2007

Dealing with the caf this week has been especially dangerous. It seems to be going through a previously un-documented phase, where it exhibits the traits of other culinary species. We've tentatively named the phenomenon "International Cuisine Week."

The first few days were shaky, as if the caf was having trouble adjusting to the changes it was experiencing. But the worst seems to be past, peaking yesterday evening, and today things have...well, they've far from returned to normal, but at least they've steadied out.

All signs point to this tempermental stage only lasting through tomorrow. While this was a learning experience for both the subject and the observer, my colleagues and I look forward to things returning to normal. We will, however, be on the lookout for this kind of behavior in the future.

Happy Thursday!

It isn't strictly the "international" that I worry about--it's the "cuisine" that makes me raise a dubious eyebrow. I don't care what it's called, I don't even necessarily need to be able to identify all the ingredients. I just want to be able to eat it.

Other news: the box of oranges invited a scourge of little flies, so we had to get rid of the dregs.

That was a little scary. The four of us hung out in our little hallway with our laptops until like 1. It was a cute little bonding time.

School's somehow almost over. Me and Megan got an apartment in UP, which is the closest set of apartments. Our random third roommate is one Kelly Yandell. Hullo, Kelly. I have a lot of writing to do for pretty much every class (another paper for clay class???), but I've been doing creative and fun writing instead. (To be fair, though, one of the creative writings is also one of these class writings) I've also been listening to a lot of music. I also was a little sick over the weekend, and now I still have a bit of a cough. But I finally got a good night's sleep last night, and that was fun. Also, I tried my first energy drink, a Full Throttle Blue Demon flavor or whatever, and it is very disgusting. But, I only have around $20 left on my school-food monies, and I can easily use that up on snacks in the next week.

I'm happy the weekend is here. Stay classy, San Diego.

I HATED International week. I almost got poisoned and then through that I almost starved to death because they would only give me one tiny piece of chicken when I wanted 2. I paid 8 bucks for that meal (at least) and they would only give me one piece of chicken. How stupid is that! So between the starving and the poisoning with the stuff that I tried to eat, but didn't know it was, it was a HORRIBLE week at the Cafe! So greatful that traumatic week is over.
