Fun: FaceTime with the bff

Okay, it's really not that big of a deal to most people.
But, for a person who has used FT once since she got her iphone in October of 2011, it is a big deal!! Especially because my bff is in Paris at the moment.
Technology these days... just AMAHZING!

I mean since shes usually away for most year in Boston due to school, I haven't felt much different about her lack of presence. But, I'm excited that she's coming back in 4 days!

And I'm also glad that she's excited to come back to Cali!

This was when I visited her in Boston! (:
I miss the food and just the whole trip was amazing!!

We are planning on road tripping across the country (kinda) to TX and LA!?
hopefully, that works out!!!!!! fingers crossed.

But, we are both pretty broke... :(
wahhhhhh.

Well I think it'll all be fine one way or another, but I really hope the road trip works out.
It feels like this summer would be the ideal time to do something like this.

BFFL,

Movie a day & Book!: Anthony Bourdain

After reading Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential, I got inspired to watch his tv show again.
I've always liked the show but kind of forgot about it after all the other tv shows and I don't know.. I just forgot.

The thing about Bourdain, to me, is that I really do like him and his blunt opinions and what not; but, for some reason, I get bored of him?

I really thought his book was informational and offered such a shocking and different view of the whole restaurant business and chef-dom. However, I just had the hardest time getting through the book. 

Same with his show.. I can watch 1 or 2 episodes at once, but I don't crave for more.
I actually chose to SLEEP instead of watching the show. This is unusual for me since I slep at like 4 AM.

Anyways, with all that said, I DO LIKE HIM!
I don't know what it is though.

Since I couldn't really settle on a movie, I just watched No Reservation. Paris and Iceland.

two countries I want to go SOOOO BADLY.
Except Anthony Bourdain went to Iceland in January and suffered from a blizzard lol.

But, from his book and the show, he makes being a chef sound so difficult, yet glamorous.

I could never become one because of so many reasons, despite my love for cooking and food.
But, he makes me fantasize about being one.

He lived and is living a crazy life!
But, yea.. that's all.

Wishing to be more worldly, outside the books,
