Expensive Expenses

This is the meat market-part of it. The pretty end.













This is the dinky grilled chicken sandwich.















Liz looking too eager to eat this waffle I could've made myself. I aint hating.



















Purdy no? Just like me? Ok ok, I'm not pretty...just sexy.














Other end of meat market.










This is especially for Gina who HAS to have everything with meat, whereas for me, I must have my delicious vegies!








It's not a good feeling when you really need to go to the bathroom but it's being held up by someone. That just happened to me, but the best feeling is when you get to release everything-once you mark your target, of course. Stomach still queasy. I love traveling but I guess this is one of the setbacks I must just accept.

We went to the meat market [not literally a meat market, though it originated as that] and ate at a really really expensive restaurant called Pastis. A grilled chicken sandwich for 19 bucks...and it was tiny! You're probably thinking-why get something you could make yourself? It's a damn high-end sandwich place-what else is there? And it was the cheapest thing on the menu besides their juice drinks which were probably 5 bucks or something where they serve it in a tiny shot glass. Wasn't too thrilled about that especially when I'm trying to abide by my budget. When heading back home, we stopped by Max Brenner, a chocolate place-very expensive once again. NY is just an pricey place aint it? Liz and I split a waffle covered with strawberries, blueberries, and drizzled with chocolate. I'm thinking about it more...and...I could have made that myself. Honest. I'll make it for you and it'll taste just as good. 12 bucks for that thing.

Of course, you can't put a price on experience but I can't help but to be amazed at how much money I'm spending here. We might go to Serendipity tonight, but the way my stomach has been acting, I'm not sure if I could endure anymore sporadic explosions and cramps.

So what am I doing now? Well...what else? Readings-though I feel like I'm spending too much time on that and not enough on my research/paper. Well that's because I'm still trying to catch up on the readings, there's a lot of readings, and the quiz on the readings comes up before the paper due date. Aight kiddies-wish me luck that I'll be productive.
