September 29...

means that we have exactly two years to complete our lists. WOW. Not wow, but wow.

All I Want to do is Eat, Eat, Eat, Eat...

Last Friday I ate at TWO hole-in-the-wall places in one day. Because I'm a weirdo like that. That means...

Progress:

77) Go to 10 hole-in-the-wall restaurants.

-Buono's Pizza: Buono's Pizza is a little place over in San Pedro that I went to with the Bio Club after we took a field trip to the Cabrillo Aquarium. It looked promising thanks to all the "Restaurant of the Year" plaques lining the walls, and it had sort of a homey feel to it. I tried the pepperoni pizza and one other pizza that was sort of Mediterranean in flavor (think feta cheese, etc) and they were both pretty darn good, minus the stomachaches I had later. Grade: A

-Senor Big Ed's: Located in good old Cypress, Ed's is a Puerto Rican joint that I pass by on at least a bidaily basis. Michael and I decided to try it before the alumni game...he had a burrito, and I had something that I will explain in a minute. Michael gave his burrito a 7/10, so I will give this a grade of: B.

Accomplished:

84) Eat something foreign and weird and disgusting sounding.

OK, so at Senor Big Ed's I decided to try something that sounded really really weird and potentially disgusting. It was called Mofongo and the description on the menu went a little something like this: Mashed green plantain stuffed with PORK RINDS, garlic, and olive oil. I think the pork rinds is what made it sound the grossest, but garlic mixed with plantain wasn't really doing it for me either. It didn't taste that bad...actually all I could really taste was garlic...but I don't think I'll be eating it on a regular basis. But hey, at least I tried it.

A Jilji Summer

Here's my post for what I accomplished individually this summer, in order of when I accomplished them.

Accomplished:

38. Babysit

I babysat my baby cousins this summer with my Oma. <3 them all to death...they're so cute. There is one girl, who's 2, and then twins (1 boy, 1 girl) that are 1.

67. Ride a roller-coaster.

I went on some totally legit rides at the OC Fair. Ones that spun upside down and around and three different ways and ones that went really super fast and really super high...I was proud of myself! Haha :)

20. Get my cartilage repierced.

I actually went today to go get it done with Kelsy. Kelsy got her lip done, which actually looked like it hurt way less than my cartilage. Yikes it hurt worse than any of the other 6 piercings I got...including the first time I got it done. Oh well, it looks pretty :)

Updates!

Yes, it's been awhile since we've updated. Here's what we've been doing all summer!

Accomplished:

16. Take a yoga class

We got free one week passes to a yoga studio at Bella Terra, and it was way fun! We both really enjoyed the classes we took, especially the really intense heated yoga. Meaghan's now taking yoga as a class at USC, while Jillian continues her practice at home thanks to OnDemand ExcerciseTV.

Progress:

77. Go to 10 hole-in-the-wall restaurants.

We ate at Thai BBQ & Noodle on Valley View across from Cypress College for lunch a few months back, and we split two dishes. They were absolutely delicious...we'd definitely go back again.

Aaaand that might be all we actually made progress on together this summer. Individually, we did more things but those posts will come later.
