i really need to start doing more of the whole one quick post every night thing, or something. cause if i don't, then it gets to like now, where I have a million things to write about, but no energy to do it. >_<
oh well.
most important news first--I finally got my work visa! and yes, i know you're going "but hasn't she been working for over a month already?" to which I say: sshhhhh!
got to go to a couple more restaurant openings this past week (three, to be exact. god i love my job). really, there's nothing that tops a delicious free dinner. especially when you're living on my budget.
Sunday night was dinner at Console, a restaurant/wime bar in Roppongi. had a really good recommendation from the sommelier, a Chilean red called Montes Alpha that I liked a lot.
Monday night I went to the opening party for a new restaurant near Yokohama station. This one was more of a press thing, so it was crazy crowded and really hot, but the food was pretty good.
Tuesday I got to go to a press conference for this TV Tokyo show called Pochitama, all about pets or something. Anyway, I'm kind of a fan of one of the hosts of the show--and am currently subbing one of his dramas (hehe)--so I finagled my way into going. I mean whatever, I turned it into a terebi blurb, so it's not like it was completely pointless.
Wednesday night was yum! Went with the rest of the eds to the opening of a new macrobiotic restaurant in Ark Hills, called Chaya. Apparently there's one in LA or something? Anyway, it was incredibly good food, I was stuffed. Plus there were several Japanese celebs that came, which was kind of cool. None of my personal favorites, sadly, but several people I reconized, one of whom was Fujiwara Norika, a crazy famous actress/model/former Miss Japan. I swear, I see her on at least 3 billboards/TV commercials a day.
Thursday I got to go to a restaurant for lunch, to do a review! ^_^ Haven't quite finished writing the review yet, but it's scheduled to go in 756, which pubs in like, 2 weeks or so.
Speaking of reviews, some of you already know this, but check out the Metropolis site cause this week I have TWO articles in--my bar review of Gala Dear, and the Star Struck piece about Jodie Foster (look under Faces & Places).

Here's someone who loves you. You're going to have to be careful going from starving student to well-fed restaurant/club reviewer. Increase those walks to the train station.
