Delight and disgust

We weren't feeling the long line so we made a night of eating. Went straight for The Gumbo Pot: seafood gumbo, mixed popcorn seafood with creole sauce, sweet potato and creole mustard salads, cornbread. Walked around, admired the lights, realized that The Grove is a rather sucky place to clothes shop, but excellent to food shop at the Farmer's Market, bought some candied fruits and ended with a banana-strawberry-nutella crepe.

Only slight disgust at next quarter's book list, but tack on the internship, other commitments and my inability to manage time and sleep, and the list becomes stomach-churning.

For which class are you reading Dillard?

I like the look of your blog. Hadn't visited in a while (you're at the top of my GoogRead).
