so yes I am a dork for actually singing the Fresh Prince theme song when I went to visit a friend in West Philly last weekend. Although Septa was on strike, I got a ride with a friend to Philly and spent the weekend doing things within walking distance.
Philadelphia is a nice change of pace from NYC. I loved the residential streets with those stone quaker houses and trees dripping with autumn leaves. The weather was quite warm and we walked around Clark Park and through the Penn Campus which is full of red brick buildings and curiously charming dilapidated frat buildings.
We also stuffed our faces- with lavender mint chocolate sauce from the farmer's market, Ethiopian food from a nearby restaurant, stove popped popcorn, a six pack of Jamaican Red Stripe, dark chocolate dipped biscuits, numerous cups of coffee and a gluttonous breakfast of cheese grits, eggs, bacon and cider. What a glorious time!
We also made it halfway through a 26 episode long Anime series called Ouran High School Host Club, which I really enjoyed. It's a light hearted and surreal anime about high school kids acting out a whole variety of fetishes and fantasies in a PG-13 way. All in all a great weekend!
