Recently, I learned that the Subway six-inch daily special is the absolute cheapest--in substance to price ratio--lunch on campus. Alex and Jon and others complain that the daily special is usually a bad sandwich, but I think all Subway sandwiches taste basically the same when you add pickles. So I am really happy about this new development in my life, except on Tuesdays, when the meatball marinara sub is up, and I insist that meatballs cannot be sandwiched no matter how creatively you dress them. But then I add pickles and stop complaining.
Additionally, I discovered that the Starbuck's in the Bookstore (which Alex points out is not a real Starbuck's, but merely a generic food dispensary which happens to serve the entire panoply of Starbuck's drinks) has $3 grande drink specials on a different drink each day. The two days when I am near that NON-Starbuck's for econ are the days when they discount my two favorite drinks--chai and pumpkin spice lattes. Unfortunately, due to some misguided directives from above, delicious pumpkin spice has been replaced by some Christmas-themed drek like egg-nog latte. Fortunately, econ is over, so I don't care anymore.
Also, tea has re-entered my life as a cheaper and significantly tastier alternative to coffee. I noticed tea is gaining currency as a hipper drink than coffee in some circles (Argo Tea is always packed, and I found some ridiculously named store called Teavanna at Northbrook Court over the weekend) which I also view as a positive development.
That is all.

I had the meatball sandwich today. Twas yummy. Best $2.71 I ever spent.
i see my name, and feel obligated to comment. i think you are unfairly marginalizing meatball-lovers everywhere. tuesdays are my favorite day of the week, solely because of the meatball subway sandwiches that so enliven my time in hutch. the very fact that someone somewhere does not like meatball sandwiches makes me feel oppressed; i demand a written apology and a resignation, by somebody, somewhere.
i am half-done with the most transparently (exoterically!?!? egads) straussian machiavelli paper in the history of sosc. i don't know if i can live with myself, after turning this monster in. it's a tragedy i don't have tarcov, and also a tragedy that i just drank my last red bull.
not drunk,
jon
Yummy for my tummy! I like subs ! :)
Jon: I thought you and your cohort were done with Strauss.
i agree with jon. what are you talking about. the meatball sub is SO GOOD.
Alex: It would be cheaper with Flex...
Jon: Well, I'm oppressed that you're oppressed. Also, I'm sad that you couldn't find anything good to do with Machiavelli. I loved Machiavelli in sosc, and then went on to take a Machiavelli class every quarter of that year until I no longer loved Machiavelli with quite the gusto I initially had. Despite all that U of C Machiavelli, I still don't know what a Straussian reading of him would be.
Karim: The meatball sub I ordered fell apart because it was so greasy. The grease actually melted the bread. I was not impressed.
