Le Travelogue d'Atlanta II

Monday & Tuesday
Okay, thought I'd actually finish something for once in this blog. Both days, I basically did the same thing: slept late, went out for lunch to get some GOOD FOOD, and then went to a really awesome record store. Monday, I ate at Boston Market and had half a rotisserie chicken, mac & cheese, creamed spinach, and of course cornbread. Man, I'm getting hungry. Once I tracked down the record store, I found a mother lode of great buys--some good soundtracks, Regatta de Blanc, Profiles (solo project by Pink Floyd's drummer), and David Gilmour's first solo album (Pink Floyd's guitarist). Later Monday night, Matt and I went over to Gwinnett to see another Asbury roommate, Dale, who works with kids at a ranch who come from troubled homes. This ranch was out in the country, all the roads were pitch-black, and we had The Wall blasting. We'd gone up there to play b'ball, but my lingering bronchitis hampered that, so I just wound up reading a Hunter S Thompson book I'd bought at supper.

Tuesday was different in that I went to a Cajun restaurant for lunch--got gumbo and jambalaya to eat--they rocked. Went back to the record store and bought a Roger Waters solo album (Pink Floyd's bassist/lead songwriter) and another soundtrack. The rest of the day consisted of watching Scrubs, then going to a pizza parlor to play trivia and drink beer and eat another delicious calzone.

Wednesday
The voyage home. Pretty boring trip back to reality, really. Stopped at Bojangle's for lunch in Chattanooga, got gas south of Knoxville, hated the drive through southern KY, got home around 3. That morning, leaving Atlanta was interesting because traffic was backed up about 30 minutes out of town. If I move there and get a 9 to 5 job...I'm screwed.

Anyway, the trip rocked...wanna live there. SO MUCH MORE going on than Lexington. I'd actually have friends!
