And some spooky Norman McLaren fabulousness:
Television:
Ok I am kind of newly obsessed with Secret Lives of Women on WeTV, Tuesdays at 10pm EST. The best episode I have seen thus far is on polygamy, but that might just be due to my Big Love binge I went on last summer.
And I am also into Locked Up Abroad on National Geographic, Mondays at 9:00pm EST. It’s like Broke Down Palace in documentary form.
New Restaurants in Athens:
- Cozy Yum Yum
179 Jackson St.
Located in the ex-Flying Squirrel Outfitters underground space, Cozy Yum Yum serves a wide range of Thai dishes and offers a full bar. They have not been open for very long, and are still working out the kinks. Eventually they plan to offer sushi and drink specials. Possibly the best aspect of this restaurant, aside from its very “cozy” New York style environment, is the fact that they are open until 2:00am. Late night coconutchicken soup…mmm…

- Pauley’s

Finally, someone realized my dream of opening a crêpe place in Athens. I realized I am glad I didn’t open one myself, I think I would go completely insane hearing the word “cr-ape” all day. What is so hard about “cr-hep,” honestly…Anyways, this bar has a selection of 110 different beers, 28 of which are on tap. They specialize in tasty beers from micro breweries nation-wide. They will start offering sandwiches and salads next week, and eventually plan to offer biscuits along similar lines of the tasty Flying Biscuit recipe. The kitchen closes at 10:00pm, but the bar stays open until 2:00am. It is a great place for watching games on their HD flat screens, or for Sunday brunch. And I’m just saying, if you aren’t doing anything tomorrow from 11:00am - 10:00pm, you should probably stop by. Closed Mondays.

My next stop: Tu Metapan, Baxter
Most Underappreciated: Just Pho, Baxter where Tuscan Market used to be - Pho + Bubble Tea = heaven
Coming Soon:
The Bank (where Chapel was on College), Lansdowne Road Irish Pub (corner of College and Washington, owned by UGA Rugby alumni), Moae (Broad, where Tavern used to be), and Square One (Thomas between Hancock and Dougherty, owned by two New York Sicilian party boys) Reader reviews welcome!♥
Bulldog Report:
I decided to put this at the end because I know most of you don’t care :D
Happy to see we are back in the top ten where we belong. USC’s ranking still kind of boggles my mind. Oh well. Injuries are the second largest concern of mine, after penalties, of course.
INJURIES:
Linebackers:
- Ellerbe: might play Saturday, but still wearing green; won’t play on special teams for punts and kickoffs
- Dowtin: freshman backup, also green
- Hebron: green jersey
- Washington: out for season - shoulder
- White: out for season - knee
Gamble and Curran will start
Quintin Banks (Safety) will hopefully play Saturday - he has missed all games so far with a sprained knee. Rod Battle’s return this week is still up in the air, but he was also wearing a green jersey. Sophomore flanker Tony Wilson’s left ankle was heavily wrapped, and he was on crutches Monday - he is contemplating season-ending surgery.
No recent update on Figgins or Moreno. Last I heard, Moreno was determined to play. Figgins is debating whether or not to play this weekend before his surgery, but he is leaning towards playing.
Players to watch:
WR Michael Moore #82
Prince Miller #23
Ok last but not least, my baby Kelin Johnson (we lived across from him and Thomas Brown and used to bake them cakes before game days) has his own online webcast called “Kelin’s Keys to the Game.” The video can be sort of tricky, but be patient and it should start working : Kelin’s Keys
Old News:
- Durham sprained his ankle and is out “indefinitely”
- …as is Tavarres King’s, as far as I can tell
- Southerland still slated to return as fullback on the 11th
- Word on the street is that one of the tight ends is also out for the season (Chandler, perhaps?)
