Wine & the City, Part I

October 24, 2011 eating out

It’s been a crazy, mind-fusing week, and my schedule is going to continue to fizz and foment like an over-shaken soda bottle until this semester ends. You know that feeling. It’s like you’ve been injected with some kind of hyperactive drug and your bloodstream is pounding superhuman energy through your body and your mind is [...]

Jewel in The Yellow House

July 25, 2011 blog meet-up

This is the last week of my internship. I’ll be completely honest—I’m relieved. I’m breathing a sigh of relief, but there’s also sadness and reluctance mixed in there. Last week was horrible. It started out horribly, actually. I came to work early in the morning, and received an irate email from a camp director. I [...]

Jane, the Asian Harry Potter

July 17, 2011 eating out

I’ve been busy this weekend! My buddy Jane is here. She’s my high school friend, and she’s flown all the way from DC to hang with me for five days. Actually, her real purpose is to hit up San Diego for a week of Comic Con, but I’m just going to pretend she flew here [...]

Let’s Have Koffea and Ice

July 14, 2011 eating out

Boo. Mother was right. I could never just “nap.” I harrumphed her and told her, of course I can. And now I’m paying the price by being brightly awake tonight. “Napped” for almost 5 hours and now I’m screwed because I still have to get up for work tomorrow and my long-time buddy Jane is [...]

My Lover in Koreatown

June 29, 2011 blog meet-up

By Golly. I think I may have found it. I believe…I have finally found The Spot—the place where I would happily sit for hours writing an essay or reading 259 pages about the history of variables. And it was within my neighborhood all along. I’m terribly excited to share this gem of Koreatown with you. [...]

Let’s Meet for Drinks

June 24, 2011 blog meet-up

It’s so strange when I get emails from my fellow interns saying: “Let’s go out for drinks tonight!” I must hang out with the virgin baby crowd or something, because I’ve never heard that phrase directed to me before. Most of the time, what we say is something along the lines of: “Let’s go get [...]
