2012, a thursday
Slept in a bit, then enjoyed breakfast at the Courtyard Restaurant (conveniently located across the hall from our room). I ate a whole plate of amaretto french toast. Mmmm. Checked out of Kennedy School, then walked down to Townshend’s for tea. Relaxed there for a few hours, enjoying the atmosphere (great tea, odd clientele). Travis picked us up and we went downtown for ‘Jiro Dreams of Sushi‘, which I’d been wanting to see for awhile. It was completely delightful; I highly recommend it. Afterwards, went to a coffee shop, then took a driving tour of downtown and SW. Picked up Travis’s wife, Aung, and headed east to Wafu for ramen and sushi (we were extremely hungry for sushi after that movie). Went to Salt & Straw afterwards (I had the almond brittle with salted ganache—fantastic), then settled in at Eric’s friends’ apartment for the night.
something new: Courtyard Restaurant, Townshend’s Alberta Street Teahouse, Wafu, Salt & Straw

I left this for the next guests on one of our room’s huge chalkboards
2011, a tuesday
Class, homework, studied for my calculus test all morning/afternoon/night. Ordered Indian food to fortify self, am now burnt out on math and wanting a snack but should really just go to sleep since I slept so poorly last night. *sigh*
2010, a monday
worked out, ran errands, got my hair cut. read outside for awhile, pleasantly surprised by the styling in the new j. crew catalog. picked up susan and went to her first happy hour of the week at blue palms – great bar, great beers. drove up to universal city and met up for dinner at miceli’s. it was crazy loud in there, but the food was really good, especially the pizza, caesar salad, and the tiramisu (even though it was not like normal tiramisu). came home, full to the point of bursting, finished catching up with ‘hung’.
