June 25, 2009 started out just OK, but as the day went on- it grew worse. The sun was shining bright, and I slept right thru it waking up frazzled & late. With 30 minutes until my 2 o’clock class, I picked TODAY to not know what to wear (for at least 15 minutes), misplaced my keys (for at least 10 minutes), and my last 5 minutes were spent walking out of my apartment and down the block in that annoying, breezeless (if that’s even a word) Summer heat. So now I’m officially late, annoyed and waiting longer than usual for a dollarvan. When one finally pulled up with no A/C (F#*K!!!), guess where my seat was? Yep! The MIDDLE seat in the last row of a FULL van. So you know I was livid and trying to stay calm because the more angry I got, the more I kept sweating! Normally I’d have total faith in the drivers who wrecklessly, weave in and out the lanes on Flatbush Avenue because not only do I love an adventure, but I know they’ll get me where I need to be in half the time. Well, not today! Now, it’s 2:50, my group partner’s late, we’re in class playing catch-up the whole time, the teacher’s in one of her moods being shady, and I just want to say “F-It” and go hit up Habana Outpost (…my drinking spot!) Instead I sit thru it until 5 o’clock and head straight home. Within 20 minutes of me being home my little sister calls to tell me that Michael Jackson had died. She was walking on 34th Street and apparently, that was the topic of everyone’s conversation. Immediately, my eyes filled with water as I turned on the TV only to see that it was actually true. At the age of 50, the King of Pop had died and I was speechless…

When I’m bored, there’s only one thing I can ALWAYS do and that’s EAT! It was a Thursday evening, I was twiddlin’ my thumbs in the crib, when my Boyee Rick called me from his NEW ride. Excited for him but hungry as hell, I suggested we go for a spin to get some food and he agreed (…the Power of  Persuasion can be a great asset, huh!?) We cruised into Park Slope, Brooklyn to this Moroccan spot he heard about earlier in the week called Babouche Restaurant & Lounge. As we approached the entranceway, we were quickly guided to our table to peruse the menu which consisted of authenic Moroccan dishes with a contemporary French flair. While I’m not a huge fan of either cuisine, I decided to keep it simple as the prices were kind of up there, I wasn’t down for any surprises and as stated earlier- I was starving! Don’t get me wrong- I’m not opposed  to trying new things but in times like these when dining out happens less frequently, it’s crucial to make wise decisions in terms of what you’re eating to avoid leaving any restaurant unsatisfied. With that said, I ordered the Saumon Grille and a CabSau (that’s Cabernet Sauvignon- if you didn’t know) and my Boyee Rick had the same wine as well as the Steak Au Poivre.
