Comic Con, The Tonight Show, and Olive Garden

In the past week, I have been to New York Comic Con, The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, and Olive Garden. I can say truthfully that I was most happy at Olive Garden. 

Comic Con just seemed like a place for nerdy people to waste money. I love television, including many shows featured at Comic Con, but there was nothing really that interesting. When I asked around to see what people liked about Comic Con, they replied that it was not the panels/screenings, but the whole experience. The experience of irritated celebrities stuck signing photos and repetitive tables of merchandise is simply not captivating to me.

The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon was amazing as always, but it was stressful. Stressful because the group in front of us got kicked out for booking with another group of people, which was exactly what my group of friends had done. Stressful because we had to stand right behind our friends and pretend like we didn't know each other. And stressful because I waited for a friend who showed up literally seconds before they stopped ticket redemption.

At Olive Garden I was happy. 

I have a passion for Olive Garden. It seems sacrilegious considering I live across the street from Little Italy, but it's true. I went to Olive Garden an innumerable amount of times during my junior year of high school; however, until yesterday, I hadn't tasted the Garden for almost a year. 

The Never Ending Pasta Bowl filled my stomach and my heart.
