Weekend in Miami

June 30, 2010 Food, Travel , , , ,

Yesterday we got back from a 4 night trip to Miami. It was awesome, but man alive was it hot. I won’t be going back to Miami in summer anytime soon. The days were brutal, but the nights were fantastic. And so was the food. And so was seeing the house from the Bruce Willis episode of Miami Vice (the only episode I remember with details, love that guy).

Best part of the weekend! Seeing the house from the Bruce Willis episode of Miami Vice! We were on a Duck Tour.

The original David's Cafe on Collins Ave. We loved this place so much that we went to the 2nd location on the Lincoln Road Mall.

My Media Noche from David's Cafe. It was so fantastic, Dexter would be proud.

If this works, next year maybe I’ll put in an actual herb garden.

Today Was a Good Day

I went into Manhattan today, to SoHo, to get my (basically) annual haircut. It’s a well-documented truth that haircuts freak me out, and I tend to put them off until my hair is so unruly I have no choice but to become Det. Tutuola’s doppelganger. It can be hard to tell exactly when my hair crosses that line, but it’s basically cleaning it up from this:

Goodbye, Library

June 23, 2010 Teaching , , ,

It’s been a wonderful 2 years, not enough time for me. But now the library is packed up for the summer, and all of my toys and whatnots are home. Time to move on, I guess.
