progress

this week was a productive week:

early on: initiate download of a bajillion movies and videos, mostly oscar contenders

tues/wed: talk to the head cheese about my future at the office: outlook looks good and changes seen in the horizon

wed night: found the okonomiyake place and had dinner with barbara...later on, birthday bombed evie's door

start:batter, pork, cabbage, corn, bean sprouts

end: yummyness

thur night: engrish crass & a good coffee

fri night: karaoke at evie's with manda, barbara, and nicole...and actually sang

sat: bummed around all day because i felt like i was getting sick, that,
and i was tired from friday night (4am??!!), did laundry,
cleaned out the fridge and pantry,
went to the commissary for groceries

today: woke up early, went to the yuzawa-ya in kichijoji with connie and her daughter audrey, bought some stuff to make a necklace, tested the miso salmon and sake butter recipe,
and made the necklace!

miso salmon with rice and sake butter and spinach salad
(similar to the one at cheesecake factory)

final necklace
close up of the beads, chain, and connectors, i used some old faux pink pearls i had laying around and got some green teardrops and pink sakura beads
all in all, very satisfied with this past week, however short it was...

i wish we had 3 day weekends more often though, work is a drag...i guess that's why it's called work...argh.

later, gator!
