table for one.

so i am "on business" in lewisburg, WV. oh, i feel so official. not really. so this is a shot of where i am staying. just kidding...i'm staying at the econo lodge because olan mills is paying for it. but i am thankful because it is no joke...3 minutes by car to the studio. i've had fleeting thoughts about how it would be nice to live here for a time because it's a rather artsy, small town place with GOOD FOOD. but then i give myself a reality check and say it's still west virginia. beautiful, but full of no diversity, which is important to me. if i could take melbourne, australia and crop into the size of blacksburg or a little bigger....i could be happy to call that place home. but in all my travels, i have no yet found that place. my friend ted said that when he was in west virginia, eating at applebees, a little girl was staying at him as if she had never seen a non-caucasian before. interesting. i say all this as if i am a non-caucasian. :) right now i am eating at stardust cafe, having a date with my laptop and sharing with life with you fine friends. eating by yourself gets less weird the more you do it. it's okay at wendy's or something. but at a restaraunt, it's a bit weird. there's this man (he's like 45 at least) and he's eating by hiself (minus a laptop). we both ate homemade bread with balsalmic vinegar and oil (it was awesome!). he commented to the waiter and i thought the same thing! i also thought, maybe i should go introduce myself and ask if i could eat with him. maybe not. i'm no that extroverted. i'd rather chuckle to myself outloud because i am typing furiously and stuffing my face with food at the stardust cafe. so i bet you are dying to know what i am eating: 1. penne pasta with pesto and sundried tomatoes
2. spinach side salad
3. yummy bread
4. coffee
5. water with lemon.


better go before the food's cold. thanks for keeping me company!
