Beauty and Art

Occupy Cal is an interesting movement.  In addition to making demands of the school and the University of California in general, they are very much about art, culture, and music.  Some protesters I've talked to explained that the artistic nature of the demonstrations helps to show that the protesters are there to create, not to destroy, which makes sense to me.  In any case, they've rubbed off on my eating habbits!


Just kidding.  This is the food table at the Occupy Cal sleep-out that took place tonight.  I was there checking it out, helping out with reporting, and I thought they had an interesting set up.  They're far better organized than anyone gives them credit for.  Anyway, here's the real post:


This is a cafe latte and strawberry danish from Caffe Mediterraneum.  Yeah, second visit within a week.  I wonder if I might have an obsessive personality type.  Who am I kidding?  I know I do.  I met Sarah, a not-so-long-lost friend, and we chatted over lovely coffee.  It was a little inconvenient because I somehow didn't properly think through the closure of Telegraph between Haste and Channing, but it wasn't too bad.  The morning started off very nicely.  Also, why don't more places make strawberry danishes?  That thing was amazing.  Now if had only been strawberry and cheese...

I'm not counting this as ATE OUT because it was inexpensive, and there's nothing you can do about it!
