STAR DINER!!

By the way, I just wanted to let everyone in the White Plains area (Purchase students thats you), that there is this AMAZING diner on East post road in White Plains. It's called the Star Diner, and the food is great. The interior of the diner is very small, just five booths and the bar with the grill behind it. It's very affordable, but they only accept cash. I got french toast (3) with an egg and 5 pieces of bacon for about 6.50. Great great place that you should visit if you have a midnight hungering for good food.

Reading Material

In addition to sitting around, I have been catching up on my Internet browsing, and here are some interesting links I have come across... (I will probably discuss them more over the course of the week)

Being Home

Apparently, being home makes you want to work more - this is what I discovered over the past few days.

Though I truly enjoy sitting around doing nothing all day long, sleeping till 12, watching the West Wing, and playing Crysis, being home for spring break just makes me want to get back to school and get work done. Fortunately, I am in a major where I can work on what I want, not being burdened with an excess of busy work. But unfortunately, the nature of the program also means that much of my work I cannot do while at home. Lets face it, you either need someone to record, or a good set of monitors to mix on.

So here's to spring break, and also to the end of it.
