Then headed off to Book-Off which is a Japanese-owned used book store. I was specifically looking for used DVDs of movies I can watch while working late at night (like a night like tonight), but didn’t find anything I wanted. I guess, more correctly, I didn’t really go in with a list of what I wanted so I didn’t know what to look for. But I was pleasantly surprised when I found this:

I’ve been hearing so much about Outliers, it’s ridiculous. I first heard about it when my professor, Sunook Park, put it on a recommended reading list for our Branding class. Since then, I’ve been hearing people referencing it at AIGA events/talks and in just talking to various acquaintances. So I finally got around to picking it up. It’s quite an easy read and to be fair, the type is fairly large (compared to what I’m used to). I’m a little over a quarter of the way through the book after only 2 hours.

After that little trip to Book-Off, I headed over to Frostbites in Cypress. And after hearing so much about it, I just had to try it. It’s this little sorbet place and crepe place by Cypress College. And all I can say is…I FREAKING LOVE THIS PLACE! The minute I walked in, they threw a bunch of samples at me. I practically had a sample of everything on their menu. The employees are super friendly, especially if you’re a first-timer. It was difficult to make a decision, but I finally settled on the Shirley Temple(cherry & margarita sorbet on vanilla soft serve) and Kevin got the Reese’s(peanut butter sorbet on chocolate soft serve). It was super delicious and I loved that the cherry sorbet actually had some chunks of cherry in it.

Then to end the day, I took a trip to Henry’s to get groceries for the week. I’ve been buying Broguiere’s milk in glass bottles from time to time (when I do decide to drink milk) and today I got the last bottle of 2% milk. And it was in this New Year’s 2010 edition bottle. It’s always awesome to see a bottle recirculated.
