That: 1. LiG is short for Lost in Greenville (just learned that) 2. I love to blog about food. I don't know why, really. Somehow, I have a strong urge to take pictures of my food and talk about it. Maybe I was meant to be a food critic. Seriously, in all seriousness, this blog has existed for one full year. If you remember that first post (it's still available if you're bored), thank you for reading all of the stuff I've written. Bet you didn't think I'd keep it going this long, huh? You thought I'd keep it up for a few months, and then you'd be off the hook. No such luck. I have enough interesting things to talk about to keep me busy for another year, easy. That also means, I accepted my job a year ago. I cannot believe how fast this year has gone.
R.I.P. Josh's Gotee: 12/25/2008-1/30/2009
I decided to give the gotee another go. I tried this thing a couple years ago, and it was, eh... OK. Since I was still a youngin, it didn't grow in fully and I dumped it after a month. See, I have a thing about not shaving on days off. At Christmas, I can go an entire week without shaving and the thought pops in my head to never shave again. By the time I return to the working world, my facial hair has grown in and I start to resemble a grown man. This, time, everything grew pretty well and I it looked pretty nice. Sure, everyone I knew made jokes about it. Sure, it was scratchy and hurt Erin. Sure, it interfered with my trombone playing...no matter, since I was going for something bigger than that. I was trying to look cool. Well, mission accomplished. I looked cool for about a month and I've had my fill. Once I got approval from my wife, I literally came home and removed it. Thank you, gotee, for the many days of great memories. I hope you find continued happiness and success.
Erin and I went out for an evening of music last night. We began the night at Atlanta Bread Company. I had never been there before and was curious to try it. The restaurant was snazzy and trendy. Usually, this means I am going to pay too much.
The food was fine. Really, it was "fine." Did I really just pay $6 for a plain turkey sandwich and plain potato chips? Yes, yes I did. It ain't no Jimmy Johns, that's fo sho!
Their cookies were awesome-o. Definitely the highlight of the meal.
I take that back, this was the highlight of the meal! I got to look at her for a whole hour.
Alright, now for the serious part of the night. We went up to Furman University to listen to David Heller play an organ concert. I was so excited to go because I love organ music and I've never been to FU.
This work of art is called the Hartnett Organ, and is a 3-manual, 42-stop Opus 121, built by C.B. Fisk. And it has almost 3000 pipes. What does all of that mean? It's big, loud, and plays really low notes. You absolutely must go to http://www.furman.edu/depts/music/mp3andvideo/keyboard.htm and listen to Carillon de Westminster by Louis Vierne. Wow, how beautiful is that!? I mean, wow. Wow.
Speaking of art, Erin and I added some "art" to our livingroom wall. It's hand painted, but it's not necessary the trendiest of trendy art. Hey, we're not rich, right?
We went to hear some of Erin's church members play at Smiley's Accoustic Cafe in Greenville's West End. They were great, but we only heard about 30 minutes' worth of music. And it was very crowded in there. We don't normally go to places like that, so I felt a little uncomfortable with all of the people in the room.
We spent the rest of the night walking about downtown. It was a really nice night for a stroll. I love the clock across from Poinsett Plaza.
Falls Park is a pleasure at night, too. The bridge is all lit up and you can see all of the white lights on Main Street.
We had the absolute pleasure of visiting a local landmark, the Lake View Steak House. It has no lake views and it's not a house, but they did have steak. That and an unmistakable western truck stop atmosphere.
Don't you love the decor? I forgot to take pictures of the food, but it was good for the price. It's kind of out of the way for us, but it was a banquet for my chorus, so I was obliged to go. We had a good time. I ended up leaving early to help with a network problem at the jail. Bummer.
After I was released from prison, we decided to make a late night trip for some desert. Gods bless Olive Garden for their late hours and expensive-feeling atmosphere. This cheesecake may have cost $6, but the memories are priceless, right?!
Well, sorry it took so long to make another entry for the 'ol blog. If you knew what I was dealing with at work, you'd understand! As I move forward in my second year in the upstate, you can expect more cool things to happen to me. Especially a motorcycle. I can't wait to blog about my motorcycle. (which I don't have yet). Hope you're having a wonderful 2009. Josh Out.
