UC Davis Eggheads

There are many views that I enjoy on campus. And, among one of the sights are the eggheads.There are seven eggheads on campus. Each of them are positioned differently. However, they are all within walking distance of each other and not entirely scattered in random places that are far away from each other.

Egghead at Dutton Hall and behind North Hall; name: Stargazer

The first egghead that I took a picture of. The name of this egghead is Stargazer. I think you can tell how Stargazer got the name by looking at it. This egghead can be found behind North Hall, next to Dutton Hall and in front of Young Hall.

Egghead at Library; name: Bookhead

This egghead is name Bookhead. It can be found in front of the library. I think that it was recently cleaned or something because it's pretty white.

Egghead in front of Mrak Hall (front); name: Eye on Mrak (Fatal Laff)

Mrak Hall is the place where you will find the most eggheads. The name of this egghead is Eye on Mrak (Fatal Laff), which can be found in front of Mrak Hall. The head is upside down.

Egghead in front of Mrak Hall (back); name: Eye on Mrak (Fatal Laff)

I did not notice the back of Eye on Mrak until later. But, hey, look at that eye. It's totally looking at Mrak Hall.

Eggheads in the back of Mrak Hall and front of Law Building; name: See No Evil/Hear No Evil

I've noticed the eggheads in the back of Mrak hall, but don't go around that part of campus that often. I took this picture and then I went to Daviswiki and noticed that there was a picture like this.

Egghead (arboretum in background); name: See No Evil/Hear No Evil

I think these two eggheads are look exactly the same. I can't really tell the difference between them. I know that are facing each other in opposite directions, but other than that I can't tell which is which.

Egghead (science buildings in background); name: See No Evil/ Hear No Evil

The other egghead in the other direction.

in front of Main theater and behind Olson Hall; name: Yin & Yang

I like these eggheads. One of the eggheads is speaking, while the other one is lying down listening. I couldn't tell which one was Yin & Yang though,

either Yin or Yang?

Notice that flower on top? I think its a sunflower.

either Yin or Yang?

It's funny how someone left that piece of paper or whatever on top of this statue. It looks like his earring.

Krush Burger

Food trucks are getting more popular in Sacramento and other areas in California. There are food truck events that occur occasionally. Also, there are food trucks that like to stop at different places in the city. Krush Burger, Drewski's, Shalah's are a couple of food trucks that come to my mind right away. Although I have yet to try Drewski's, I did try Krush Burger a few weeks ago.

It was a couple of weeks ago when I noticed the hashtag for #sacburgermonth. I, then, checked it out and decided to go to Krush Burger that weekend. Krush burger was at Caesar's Chavez Park in Sacramento. I think the event was Concerts in the Park and there were other food trucks there. Also, I think budweiser was sponsoring the event, so there was a lot of alcohol consumption in the park.

Before I ordered, I checked out Krush Burger online and I liked that they had mini burgers. I also like that they had flavors that were not the usual I can get from anywhere else. I decided to order three of their mini burgers to share with my sisters. I ordered the Original, Philly, and the Cowbell. The burger was better than I expected. I noticed from the menu online that the burger had grilled onions and I was going to take it off my burger, but I didn't feel the onions in my burger or I was just okay with it in my burger. Usually, the onions would be so noticeable or unpleasing that I wanted to take them off. I think their fries were okay, not that special. I think I should have ordered tater tots instead since I haven't had them in a while and because burger places don't usually offer tater tots.

Americanized Chinese Food

When I was around 7-12, I didn't mind eating Americanized Chinese food a lot. Whenever my parents felt like eating out, it would be at one of those American Chinese restaurants and of course my parents were the ones who had the opportunity to order the food. However, they did order us kid our favorites--chow mein, chow fun, and fried rice. Me and my siblings would devour a plate of one of those dishes really quickly.

As the years passed, me and my siblings began to get tired of those type of dishes and Chinese food. We got tired of it because we ate it too often. We got tired of it because we are surrounded by relatives or friends who were chefs of Americanized Chinese food. We were tired of it because we had to serve customers the food for several years. It no longer seemed as appetizing as it was when we were kids. Although we do each have a preference of which dishes we prefer. I prefer salt baked shrimp & honey walnut shrimp. However, whenever I find myself eating one of the dishes I just don't have the same excitement anymore. I just eat the food because I'm hungry, not because I ever crave it.

So, today, I don't find myself going out to eat at Chinese restaurants that often. When friends ask where I want to eat, it mostly likely won't be at a Chinese restaurant. The reason is because I want something that I cannot get through family or friends. Sometimes food can be like home for some people. If you don't go out a lot and usually eat family cooked food, then you will be most likely used to certain foods. And, when you try new foods, flavors, or hot foods, you may be exposed to new levels and places you're taste buds haven't been exposed to yet, which is outside your boundaries. I've always been a fan of trying new foods. Because of my curiosity and openness to try new foods, I've discovered fantastic eateries and dishes. And, I like that I'm always seeking food adventures, as well as getting to know what cities have to offer.
