break and Paul Newman VS. Takeshi Kaneshiro

well, break is over, unfortunately. I think I needed at least another week. I went to Madison for a few days and hung out (read: was very very lazy), but came back for a little on Monday for my internship, and then returned to stay on Thursday so I could actually get some work done. I love Madison, but i am not very productive when I go there for breaks. I mostly just hung out with friends and watched movies etc. One of my friends got her brown belt in karate and I was there to witness the glorious moment.

One of my other friends really wanted to eat breakfast at Paul Bunyan's (or as I called it, "lumberjack paul's"), a restaurant in the Wisconsin Dells (a tourist trap about an hour from Madison). apparently they have an amazing all you can eat family style breakfast, and instead of putting a basket of rolls on your table they put donuts (I have never eaten there). here's the hitch...he wanted to leave at 7:00 IN THE MORNING. AHHHHHHHHHH. but we made plans to go. I intended to look up whether it would be open or not, since the Dells is mostly water parks and everything kind of shuts down over the winter, but i never got around to it.

so around 7:15 i get woken by my phone, Patrick is calling to see if I am at home because the door is locked. i roll out f bed and get dressed in about 3 mins then let him in. he sees my sleepy eyes and underbrushed hair and allows me to make a pot of coffee before hustling me out the door.

The drive took a little longer then planned because the directions Patrick had procured from mapquest thought it would be amusing to send us in a big circle near the end of the trip. we finally reach Paul Bunyan's and....it doesn't open until the 13th. so we ate at the ihop across the street. the doctor Seuss food looks colorful but disgusting, and i didn't have the courage to try the any of it, though the Sprite drink with jello cubes looked enticing (not).

the rest of break was pretty much homework.

Krista and I are having a little argument. Krista thinks that Paul Newman (pictured left) is one of the prettiest/hottest men in the world. I disagree and can come up with a long list of prettier men...such as Takeshi Kaneshiro (see Krista, I can choose someone not from the UK ),
