Half an hour ago I got a hankering for some Orange Chicken. I have no clue where this desire came from, as I'm pretty sure that I have never had Orange Chicken, or if I have, it's been four or five years. Despite the fact that it was 3 o'clock, midway between lunch and dinner, I was really hungry for some Orange Chicken. Luckily, there is a Panda Express in the Union basement, a minute away from my dorm. So I walked over there, and it started raining. It hasn't rained all day, and didn't really look like rain. I went to Panda Express, got my Orange Chicken and steamed rice, and walked out of the Union into the sunshine. It was bizarre. A three minute rainstorm. I'm now enjoying Orange Chicken and reading some Greek Tragedy for my class tomorrow. Basically I just read five pages of invocations to their dead father to help avenge his death. Five pages of the same thing over and over.
I just remembered that I used to go out to eat with my then-BFF Rachel's family at the Great Wall Of China, a restaurant by my house. I probably had Orange Chicken then. Also, one of the protagonists of a book I really like says that Orange Chicken is her favorite chinese food. Yes, I am emulating the tastes of a fictional character. For you guys who are wondering (Kiersten), the book is called "If I have a wicked stepmother, where's my prince?" and the Greek Tragedy is The Libation Bearers, part of a trilogy of plays called the Oresteia.
On a different note, I'm going to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix tonight. Two More Days!!!
I don't know why I kept capitalizing Orange Chicken....
I totally saw that book in the library! I didn't check it out, though. Maybe I will, since it has now been (indirectly) recommended.
ReplyDeleteI emulate the tastes of fictional characters (like eating pancakes with honey, which I got from Redwall, haha.)
We talked about libation bearers in Humanities on Monday. It might have been more interesting if he hadn't kept tying it back to gangs, Dutch still life, and Johnny Cash.
I would recommend it. It's a cute book, and I've checked it out many times over the past three years or so. I don't think that I like the Libation Bearers very much... But I've only read half of it so far.
