OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG
Frankly, I’m just having a cheerfully good time.
Friday: Walked around Chelsea & Greenwich which is always delightful and foudn myself with a cute little cafe called Doma and a swift rendezvous with pal Matt at the Broken Cup
Next : A delightful dinner at a little place called Primitivo Osteria. Uber tasty I must say with the lobster ravioli that I savored like no one’s business.
A lovely sojourn for jazz with a cute place called Smalls where I met up with my pal Rebecca who’s my darling dearest diva friend.
Saturday:
Dimsum with Larry & his pals at Jing Fong (A restaurant sooo huge that it has it’s own escalator and seats somewhere between 1200-1500 guests) , running downtown towards Union Square where I bumped into the occasional person leaving the flashmob pillowfight, shopping with my friend Plee & then having fabulous desserts at this charming Dessert Bar called Chikalicious . Funness and total tongue tingling joy between the rosemary gel w/ yogurt sorbet, warm melty chocolate tart, candied lime slices, homemade coconut marshmallows & chocolate truffle.
Heath & I tried to see the Point Break Live show but alas it was sold out so we just hung out and got to know each other better. Rewarding good intimate conversations are always a joy. Especially when your tummy is full of good hotdog. I mean seriously good hotdog from Sparky’s. It makes a person forget how weird it is winding up at a local dive bar called The Turkey’s Nest where, no joke, the ladies restroom is referenced by the sign Turquettes. Which just makes me kind of want to swear and cuss up a storm.
Sunday: Walking around Brooklyn and taking loads of pix. An awesome burger yon at Dumont’s Burger Linking up at a Piano Karaoke bar called Soft Spot with my talented musician gorgeous friend Annie Lin, where the very talented Wendy Ip was playing. She knows a crapload of songs for piano karaoke and sings a load herself to keep the crowd entertained and delighted. Of all wonderful accidents, Annie & I were able to talk with Andy of Tourist in the City. Some of you may recall that Andy had done a fun little podcast show re: the event LapPop that I put together and that Annie had flown out to SF to perform at last october. Annie & I finished up with some midnight gal chat over cocoa and talked about baking a cake together later in the week before I headed home for a good night’s sleep.
Monday: The Bodies Exhibition with JY followed up puttering around chinatown and finished up by a homemade dinner of lobsters & corn on the cob. Yes, a boy killed me a lobster. Quick drinks with Swerdloff at this cute bar called Tribe & then offwards I went.
Tuesday: I think I’m staying in today. Doing laundry. Letting my legs rest a bit, and trying to figure out things that get finalized through the rest of the week.
Wee.

Brother just called to say we’re doing some furniture shopping (for him) and heading out for Brazillian BBQ Carnivorism. Woot.
