Yannsbury Designs: Review: Of Food, Dance, and Basketball

Hey everybody! Great to see you again! Okay, so...first things first. OMG, oh my gawd, I GOT TO SEE WEST SIDE STORY! That musical was sooo AWESOME! I give it....4.8/5 stars (because I can't stand Tony). Also, the costumes were super gorgeous. I just wanted to rip them of the actors' backs. (Along with a few inches of their flesh. ~Katniss Everdeen). The singing, the dancing – which, after they were done with any particular number, seriously looked as if they had just run a 5K – and the costumes. Did I mention the costumes? I did! But this happened on Saturday at Portland Ovations theatre (check it out here) and I'm still dying over it. Another thing I'm dying over is the lunch at Little Seoul – check it out if you're ever in Portland, Maine. Oh my dear lord, it was so spicily delicious and deliciously spicy. Ok, so I ordered the ramen, and that may not seem too bad at first bite. But dig a little deep and get the backdish on Korean ramen. It's not that wussified Japanese insta-ramen, oh no. This comes in a steaming metal bowl, with kale, with udon noodles, with some sort of Korean cajun powder! And let's not forget the half-cooked egg sitting on top, which, by the time I got up the courage to snap my noodles into the wholesome brew, was entirely cooked. From just SITTING IN THE BOWL! WTF! Of course, my seaweed salad helped lower the spice factor. And after that, I had chocolate-drizzled red bean mochi ice cream. Totally yum yum delish! But so anyhoo...leaving the delicious mochi, let's talk about the Sixers' game on Friday. I had a special correspondent, Donovan Shea, who got tickets to the whole court. He was even on TV. And yet, he had zero intel for me. Well, fine, not zero... he gave me this. No wait, he didn't give me this. He gave Facebook this.
