So, what's new pussycat? (whoo-oo-o)
Other than my new fascination with obscure theme songs, not much. (Big lead up and little delivery right?) Let's see, the new convenient store opened. But it's not convenient for me, living on the other side of campus, so I will probably never make it out there. Another buzz topic on campus, the closing of Lot F. Again, not a big concern for me because I don't have a car. And that topic is thoroughly discussed in late night classes (when all the commuters need to park) and in Broadside.
So, what can I talk about? New hours at The Bistro. And pretty much every eatery in the JC. Last semester on-campus dining experienced an hours explosion. Suddenly there was a plethora of food on the weekends at hours when the average college student was awake. Now, the JC after 3 on Friday is once again a torturous place for the empty stomach. Unless you want Taco Bell or sushi, you are pretty much left with Ciao Hall again. Or the Ramen Noodles in your dorm room.
But back to The Bistro. This semester they close at 2pm. I think the logic behind this is the extra hours at George's and the pasta exhibition place that has replaced Charleston Market. Unfortunately, since I hate pasta and eating in George's, this just doesn't cut it for me. (Sorry rabid George's fans) Admittedly, Charleston Market didn't have the best food, but they did carve up big pieces of meat. And on a campus where most the meat you can get is deli, chopped, wrapped in a tortilla, stuck on cheese, soaked in salt, deep fried, or covered in MSG, a slice of roast turkey was a nice pure protein alternative. Probably the most unbelievable part of the new JC hours is the seemingly constant closure of the pizza place. That was an easy place to grab a slice for breakfast and dinner on Saturdays and Sundays. It's beyond me why they've closed it since it is the only place that serves pizza (other than The Bistro, but we've covered that). And unless you count that doughy cheesy concoction served in Ciao. Which I don't.
Be sure, in the future, I won't talk so much about food. Or complain so much at all. In fact, this weekend, if this cold doesn't get the better of me, I will be hitting up The Auld Shebeen again. Last time I went it was pretty awesome. The band played covers of 80s songs with a rock 'n' roll twist. But my friend wasn't entirely feelin' it, so we didn't stay as long as I'd like. This weekend I have no idea who the band is but I will be there with someone who doesn't get the drunken urge to wander. Anyway, I will be back here Monday to share all my exciting escapades. Unless I am taken out by this gradually building cold/flu thing, in which case you will get a sniffly update of how warm my bed was and how worn out my DVD collection is.

(Ok so it's not a theme song but it's just as lame.)
