Crimson Conclusion

-It's nine o'clock on a Wednesday
-A crowd at each station waiting for food
-Chefs and cashiers screaming out numbers in no specific order
- The "Grill" station is over flowing with people and hostility
-Metal Music playing while Basketball game is on the TV(odd combination)
-Conversation at every table which makes it more noisy
-Mixture of different smelling foods but smells delicious
-Different foods such as chicken tenders, burgers, salads, quesadillas, asian noodles, and pizza.
-Tables aren't as clean as usual, probably because it is packed with people. Lucky to get a seat


Crimson is the place to be when wanting a a late night snack or dinner. Since ECC and Tilly close somewaht early, East Campus residents usually go to Crimson for some food when hungry. In fact I actually saw some friends who live at Woodward that were at Crimson because they think it is that good and is worth the ten minute walk in the cold. Crimson is usually a place for residents only since the times of opening and closing which is usually around afternoon and varies to stay open til 11 or 12 o'clock at night. Crimson is usally crowded, but tonight is was hard to find a seat and took longer to get your food. I got a Chicken Caesar Salad which usually takes 5 minutes maximum and tonight I was waiting for atleast 10 minutes if not longer.

Bowling Ball Boulevard

This essay shows a lot of imagery and vivid descriptions which makes it very easy for the reader to read and be interested in. I have indeed been to this rugged bowling alley, but not for some time and this essay made me realize what this alley looks again and makes me feel like I'm actually there observing there lanes and people. By using all five senses the author of this essay puts a clear picture into the readers head and hooks the reader's attention.
 I find this essay very helpful for my project and shows me what my expectations in researching should be. Lots of description and the more details you have is going to make an essay more interesting and keep the reader wanting more enjoyable information.

I pick things up, I put them down.

        A gym can consist of running equipment such as tredmills, bikes, and elipticical machines and also lifting equipment like bench presses, squat racks, and dumbbells. The gym is a place where you can just relieve stress and stay in shape, but personally in my opinion to have fun. Obviously most people go to the gym to better themseleves by lifting weights or running on a tredmill, but do they actually enjoy going? The gym for me is a place I can go to have a good workout that I enjoy, obviously the main reason of going is to become healthier and excercise, but the gym is part of my daily schedule. A missed day at the gym for me can ruin my daily routine and most of the time can be upset at myself,  but obviously i bounce back up and don't let it get to me.
        The main things that I question are: Why do people go to the gym? Do people like going to the gym? Do they feel forced into going to a gym? What excercises are most people doing? What do they look for in a gym? Is there a difference between one gym and another? Soon enough these questions will no longer be mysteries.....

1/28/11:"The Town Hangout?"

I found the essay, "The Town Hangout?", very interesting because I can extremly relate to this. My friends and I would always attend ten dollar bowling night at Timber Lanes located in Abington, where you would pay ten dollars and play as many games from 10 o'clock pm to 12 o'clock pm. Rock N' Bowl is very similar to what Timber Lanes did which included black lights, strobe lights, fog,multicolor lights, and music to set the atmosphere to the teenage society. Also I was very suprised that so many teenagers would go bowling with their friends on a perfectly good friday night, but it was cheap and a very good time to spend with friends. The essay shows a lot of imagery which makes the reader visualize the atmosphere which makes the story more interesting and puts a picture into the reader's head while reading. Like "Friday Night at Iowa 80" and "the Town Hangout?", an ethnography needs to have good imagery, descrpition, observations, and interviews.
