Trippin': Washington D.C. - Lincoln Memorial

The Lincoln Memorial is a really amazing building. It's structures like this that make me wish Houston had more notable landmarks. Even the Gandhi statue in the museum district is a bit disappointing. True story. Big poppa and I were walking around the garden next to the museum of natural science here in houston. We had some time to kill before this IMAX movie that i wanted to watch started. As we were sitting at one of the benches, i noticed that there were a lot of indian families everywhere. Like enough for me to wonder why there were so many indian families around. So then big poppa and i get up and take a stroll and we see this statue up ahead. We get closer and it's Gandhi. And i'm like oooohhhhhh. Makes sense now.

Restaurant: Aka Sushi

2390 West Alabama St
Houston, TX 77098

Oh what glorious weather we've been having! Too bad I've wasted it by staying indoors instead of getting my lazy butt into outdoorsy active mode. I love the breeze but can't help but think that it must not be helping to stop these wild fires. Anyhoo. Is it safe to say that sushi is sushi? Maybe not always. It's normal to think that sushi should be cheaper. But since the human species seem to have problems with over-fishing, maybe it's better that sushi is more expensive. Make it less accessible. I'm not really going anywhere with this except for the fact that i've only eaten at aka during their happy hour times, whether regular or reverse. Shame on me? I guess the food here is good. Sushi is sushi. I like their chicken wings! Haha. Some things will never change. The happy hour drinks i ordered were super watered down. I wouldn't order drinks again. I heard that they make them a bit stiffer if you order straight from the bar.

Here's two texts from mascara which totally made my day:

1st text: I finally had the guts to watch THE COVE. It's so sad and made me not want to take mylinh to seaworld.

2nd text: I also just watched TAPPED and i'm banning bottled water as well.

Trippin': Washington D.C. - Vietnam War Memorial

The rain continued it's relentless drizzle as miss flowerchild and i made our way towards the Vietnam War Memorial. The gray skies created an appropriate setting to match the somberness that washes over as history is remembered and respect is paid to those who lost their lives. We actually walked right past the memorial at first. The rain had soaked the engraved names, which made them blend into the stone wall.

Placenter: Woodland's Town Center

Some residuals from my trip to the woodland's. I sure know how to spread these blogs apart and just waste time now don't i? It's the internal organized freak in me. I can't willingly just post everything in one giant blob without categorizing everything. FREAK!
