three years later

Reservation tonight for what was our favorite place in Tokyo last time, and I'm all anticipation to see if it lives up to the memory.

Vacation is a king size bed, blackout shades, and a lovely bathtub.

glorious tokyo

Secret little seven person cocktail bar, uni soba, schoolchildren in tiny hats with giant backpacks, truffle rice, red bean pancakes, lotus root wrapped in bacon and fresh off the grill, seasonal pickles, tonkatsu with a choice of pig and cut, rich slurpy ramen... And we're only halfway through the trip.

small world

Flew halfway around the world (in an almost empty first class cabin), only to run into a friend at the Tokyo airport. Weekend plans will ensue!

nihon

Time to go eat things in Japan!!

we got this

After a few hours of controlled panic, my co-worker and I realized that despite a bare bones transition, we've got this. We're not half bad, and with my favorite manager ever coming in, we're going to be awesome.

one year in

Hung out with two girl friends that I met a year ago and had a hilarious four hours of wine, cheese, and immaturity.

best week

Two amazing things happened at work this week. One is a blast from the past, and one is a reward for the future. I'm so damn lucky.

amazing

Just slept fourteen hours for the first time in I don't know how long, and it was amazing.

aww shucks

Creative director stopped me in the hallway and said that when he was interviewing, he looked at or team photos in the website and said that he had never seen a lawyer wearing a leather jacket in an official photo before, and that he thought it must be a different kind of company with the coolest legal team.

bye

Trees are starting to bloom, and the ten day forecast breaks 70° every day, so winter is definitely on its way out.
