hour and a half late to work? check. work all day on a project i dislike? check. completely forget about meeting up for dinner with someone i’ve never actually met in real life, who is a family member of my best friend and has a really awesome job at a big time firm in my industry, no less… and instead...

sushi 101
Award-winning sushi chef Tyson Cole, of Uchi Austin, said that the average person doesn’t know what to do with Japanese cuisine, especially sushi. The accepted practices of a typical sushi house don’t fly at Uchi. Cole felt compelled to list his concerns and peeves in Uchi: The Cookbook:

eashorts:
I’ve developed a love-hate relationship for the fashion industry, as I’m sure many of us do with whatever industry we have studied inside and out. I am a firm believer that looking good goes hand-in-hand with feeling good, so I personally love stepping out of my apartment with a banging outfit on…

just a typical day after work…
my roommate, ashley, and i headed over to the tracy reese flagship to attend an event celebrating the five year anniversary of the boutique.
a sally hansen team was giving free manicures, there was wine, cupcakes, a DJ spinning some *actual* vinyl and a makeup artist! tracy reese herself also was in attendance and they did 30-45 minute in-store flash sales...

some days are good and some days are just tough. lisa is my life-saver and it’s SO unbelievably good to have a familiar face here in the city, but honestly.. it’s still way lonely.
