Foodbuzz 24 x 24: Coffee, that’s what’s for dinner

April 29, 2012 dinner event

Perhaps I’m too young to say this…but I feel like life has come full circle at this week’s dinner party. When I first met my friend Tracy, it was because I was interviewing her about her first start-up business for my school’s newspaper, The Daily Trojan. As we were exchanging emails on where to meet, [...]

Video: We are Young and Gluttonous

April 17, 2012 series

This is just a video I compiled from all the takes my friends and I shot during our NYC trip. It was shot with my little Flip Video camcorder so it’s not the best quality, but for our own purposes of reminiscing the essence of our travels, it is perfect. I chose the song “We [...]

April 9, 2012 eating out

For our last day in NYC, my friends and I decided to dress Bohemian. Well, yeah. That’s our definition of “Bohemian”—I think we dressed more LA-hipster instead. The unexpected warm weather really messed us up. That was our conceived theme of the day, because we were going to hit up the two most hipster areas [...]

Why I just can’t quit blogging

February 15, 2012 Los Angeles

I’ve been debating quitting for months now. There are clear moments when the decision seems real and finalized: That’s it, I’m quitting right now, I tell myself with conviction. There are murky moments when I wonder if I should quit, and I weigh the pros and cons of blogging, mope a little bit, and tell [...]
