Kepler's Books

I went to Keplers books to get my book signed by Andre Agassi and came 2 hours early. The funny thing is I was one of the first people to wait in line which I was surprised. You have to buy the book from them in order to get your book signed which is retail price of $28.95 for the book. I guess Keplers has to make a profit right.  

Besides paying for the price, the staff working at Keplers was very helpful in finding the book and making the line wait so short and explain us the rules. Unfortunately, no personalized autographs, but I can understand because they want everyone to get an autograph.  Anyways I will go to another book signing if Keplers does offer one.

I think this place is okay. The food portions are oky as well. I got their daily special and it was 6.50 which is great.  Anyways they only except cash, but the service was quick. I got one of the cutlet menus which is good too.  Hmm it is good for a fast food japanese restaurant.

I took the awful and dreaded GRE here =(  Anyways after I took the exam and I did much better than I did three years ago when I had to take it.  My score improved by 90 points.  I got a horrible score on verbal 310 while my quantative was 700 yeah, a true engineer's score.

But I am here to grade the place, not my score hahaha.  Anyways the people are really nice. I thought they would be grumpy and angry because people like me can not follow directions well.  But it is inside a business park and sort of hard to find in the fort.  Anyways make sure you have your ID and lock up all your items in the locker.  They treat it like a prision except they do not ask you to strip down naked. But you must take off your watch and everything else. I am surprised they did not ask me to take off my belt like the test place told me.

Anyways I had fun playing with the computer and the exam itself is dreadful and easy to understand the directions. It is funny how they tell you how to use a mouse. I just started to laugh at it.  Anyways yeah you are video camera to make sure you do not cheat and of course you have only a 10 minute break which sucks to go to the bathroom, it is like what if you have to take a sh*t. hahahah.

I am a fan of this place when I want a sandwhich even though I get many from the University Inn and they are bigger. But I had to try it out and the sandwhiches are not too bad. I had the BLAST (Bacon, Lettuce, Avocado and Tomato) on a wheat bread. I had to wait quite awhile for it like 10 minutes, but it was worth the wait.  I have to admit the bacon was nice and fresh and even hot and crispy yum yum. I guess if I am looking for a good sandwich I would definitely go here for a bite to eat.

Froyo?  

Category: Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt

1 star rating

Froyo is a NO GO!  I wanted to go ahead and try out the place and I am not definitely not a fan of half -self serve.  It is either self-service or full service.  Because self service you can fill it up to what you want and have room for toppings. Full service, they did it for you and they put on the toppings for you without spilling and it is usually a set price.

I mean I asked for a medium and yes I was warned how the sizes were, but unfortunately I did not have any room for a ton of toppings.  When I filled up the toppings and put it on the scale, it would fall off.  A medium costs $7.50 by the way which was pretty much all tart icecream. When I first took a bite it was okay, but then when I started to eat more and more it start to taste like vomit and I ended up getting sick.  I did not puke however.  I know yogurt is $0.35 cents an once at most places, but it did not consists of too much yogurt and it had many toppings and I enjoyed it much much more.

The service was okay. Even though the person working there was pretty, her attitude was not really good. She was too serious I thought.  She pretty much looked at me and probably said what is his problem.

Anyways definitely a Froyo, No Go.

I think this place is okay, but my family and I tend to go here quite a bit.  I really should find a nexcycle place because it is small and you do not have to deal with all of the cars. I am sure the prices are the same as well and you deal with less people too. I know the service can be good or bad depending on the moods of the people.  But yeah it is pretty dirty and the bathrooms really really are bad and well there is no soap at all so you leave wanting to go to Target on Katella to wash your hands.  Be care too, the parking is pretty bad and cramped. You got to be careful as well as the drivers can be moody and b*tchy.

I am a fan of this place and it has been awhile since I treated myself to a nice meal. I been to three taquerias and they seem to be popular in Santa Cruz. I ordered the goat meat and it was pretty good. I took the meal togo and when I opened it, it was still nice and hot which I really quicked. They give you guacomole and sour cream (not too much as I would hope for), but they do give you plenty of tortillas. I got 7 in mine which many places do not give much.  The service was okay, I got my food in 15 minutes. The service is okay too. I would eat here again.

I have to admit this theatre was great. I watch two movies here, nevermind I should not say movies, This is It, Michael Jackson and a boxing fight, Mayweather vs. Marquez. I have to admit it is very nice inside and the prices are pretty decent compare to at home. I know Edwards in long beach now charges 12 dollars a seat which over here is $10.75.  But there is college night for $7.75 which is a good deal.  Unfortunately, the theatre is 30 miles away from where I live, but I was in town. I go there to Fry's electronics.

Overall, I think I came in at the wrong time because they were closing at 9:30pm and look like most of them were ready to go home.  But the chips and salsa was okay, I ate them really quickly though. I did not know it was a sit in or a dine in which was confusing. So I kept on looking at the pictures.and finally the waitress come and helped me out.  I guess that is why the service was a little slow because they were busy cleaning up.

I did not look at the menu because I saw the pictures and did not know the prices, so I was playing everything by ear. I ordered the menudo which I have to say was pretty good. It was my first time having it and they did give you a ton. It was funny that they gave me more hot sauce when the soup was already hot. But I ate the drank the whole thing. They gave me the spices. I ordered the Pina Colada margarita as well and it was pretty good. I am not so sure if it was worth the price, but it was good. It did not have too much alcohol and was made just right.  Yeah I am huge sucker for those hehehehe.  I wanted to have the flan, but I know they would have killed me.  My bill ended up $18.13, so a little bit too much for me, but I guess it is okay one in awhile.

This recycling center is near the Costco and near the gas station which is pretty cool.  Unfortunately, the gas station is hidden across the street from Costco and hard to find the center.  Anyways it is a small station sort of like a kiosk and a huge storage bin.  The service is okay and the guy did not give me too much of a hard time. I did not know to unscrew the caps out of the bottle, so I am sure I was probably penalized.  Anyways here are the rates $1.57 per pound of aluminum, $0.97 per plastic and $0.10 per glass.  Anyways I had two kitchen garbage bags of plastic bottles and one bag of aluminum and that ended up to be $11.15 which is not too bad. Better than what I get at my own recycling center at home.
