Day 336: Romantic Sea Date

 

December 2nd, 2011December continues to be one of the greatest months, today encompassing a romantic date at the cove and a fun mini-adventure at a Christmas Party with Tzu Ching. I woke in the morning to get ready for an exciting date. In the process I put on a nice collared shirt, slacks, and a tie, as I walked on over to Ralph’s to buy both a potted plant and a flower. I waited in Price Center for a bit while Geetha was at a HDH BBQ event. I went on over to her place, surprised with with said entities, and then made her match me in both outfit and exterior. While waiting for her to get really I randomly changed the television station to CNN – which miraculously happened to have Ron Paul on. It seemed like fate in my personal opinion. We bused on over to La Jolla Cove, specifically the Cottage, where I realized I was slightly overdressed. I took off my tie as I ate an average tasting egg sandwich while she had a chicken salad sandwich. I think my stomach had adapted to pretty terrible tasting food, and subsequently eating something as fancy as the Cottage doesn’t settle very well in my stomach. We walked on over to Gelataria Frizzante to get some Gelato Ice cream, eating it while watching the ocean view at the park close by at La Jolla Cove. Upon the subsequent realization that it was way too cold, we bused on home where we watched several episodes of Friend before geting extremely tired.

I would depart for a bit for the subsequent purpose of getting dinner at Tzu Ching’s holiday party, where I talked to Jade, Martina, Michael, Jessica, Adam, Henry, Sid, and Clifford. Out of all the Asian delicacies available I chose to consume the typical and standard Costco Pizza. YUM. I went to go video edit afterwards finally finishing but at the same time extremely disappointed because the burning process ultimately failed. I have to go burn the final products another day as a result. I went on over back to Geetha’s place afterwards to continue watching Friends and That’s 70’s Show!

On this day in 1991, Islamic militants in Lebanon release kidnapped American journalist Terry Anderson after 2,454 days in captivity. As chief Middle East correspondent for the Associated Press, Anderson covered the long-running civil war in Lebanon (1975-1990). On March 16, 1985, he was kidnapped on a west Beirut street while leaving a tennis court. His captors took him to the southern suburbs of the city, where he was held prisoner in an underground dungeon for the next six-and-a-half years. DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA.

What started out as a simple dismissive email from Republican presidential hopeful Ron Paul rejecting a Donald Trump-moderated debate has turned into a full blown war of words between the two men. The exchange got personal, with Paul questioning Trump’s financial competency, accusing him of mismanaging his finances, and Trump issuing a statement saying Paul was “willing to lie” and “either very jealous of Mr. Trump, stupid, or a combination of both.” The exchanged started earlier today when Paul joined fellow presidential hopeful Jon Huntsman in bowing out of a Trump-moderated presidential debate sponsored by conservative website Newsmax.com and planned for Dec. 27 in Des Moines, Iowa. Paul’s campaign chairman, Jesse Benton, distributed a scathing press release saying that Trump’s participation “is beneath the office of the Presidency and flies in the face of that office’s history and dignity.” “Mr. Trump’s participation as moderator will distract from questions and answers concerning important issues such as the national economy, crushing federal government debt, the role of the federal government, foreign policy, and the like,” Benton said. GOOD PLAN.
