Eco Sarasota 5

I saw my first lizard of spring today and i am excited like no other. It means the cold weather will finally be over soon! I dislike cold weather oh so very much, so i am beyond excited.

^^^ That was all i could think of a few weeks ago, and now that its finally warm enough to go places without a jacket, i am beyond ecstatic. I've been sitting out on the back porch lately and it just makes life a whole lot nicer having warm weather with a gentle breeze. I hope it will last. I tend to get more homework done out their any ways.
Warm weather is just like an instant rose tinted glass window for me. Plus it doesn't hurt that i've been watching Princess Tutu with Nicole when we do some graphic novel homework.
But i cannot wait for spring break. I will be at the beach. I will. I will brave the 50 billion and a half snow birds. I will fight them for the beach. End of story. haha!
Its just crazy that we live no more than 10 minutes up the road from the beaches but never get there. I refuse to let another semester like that go by me.

Eco Sarasota 4

So over the past semester i have been on various adventures around Sarasota to some interesting restaurants. And so this weeks blog is devoted to them.

Thailand is located just up US 41, from MLK you take a left on 41 ( i think its South?), and then just drive past the Borders and shopping centers. It may be a a bit of a drive, but the food is great. Its inexpensive and there are large portions, i don't think there has ever been a time that i've eaten there and not had enough to take home for another meal (and i eat a lot).
Yume Sushi, i believe, is the first place i ate at downtown freshmen year. It has great sushi; its sex on the beach roll is amazing. Its a nice place.
The Drunken Poet is another Asian restaurant downtown with good food. Its sushi is good, but not nearly as good as Yume's. But it has this roll, the Sexy Man Roll, which is reason enough to go there.
The Applebees downtown is a normal Applebees, Whoopie. But it also just happens to be one of the few restaurants that are open "late" in Sarasota.
There's this little restaurant down the opposite direction on 41 called Rico's and they will deliver. They are just your average Italian food place. And they are quite tastey.
Up University a ways, just about across the street from Target i think, is the most amazing sub shop ever. Mike's Jersey Subs. I don't usually like subs or sandwiches from any restaurant, but i love these guys. Sure there chain locations only have subs, but in New Jersey, where they are just know as Mike's subs, they also deliver pizza. I was so happy when i saw they opened shop here.
