first\u2026a brief recap of things done in the last few weeks. good thing i keep this shit in my iphone calendar, or else itll all be lost and forgotten.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

*checks calendar<\/i>*<\/p>\n\n\n\n

oh fuck, i guess it stretches back a bit. whuuuups. k, so rewinding all the way back to the weekend of march 20th, jane was in town from japan! i hadnt seen her since my rockin\u2019 tokyo trip from a year ago (almost to the day too\u2026ha!). we roamed, drank, ate, and just marinated in my apartment. it was good. interspersed the following weeks and weekends (and not jotted in my calendar) were a meetup with fish in jersey finally after i dont know how long, a din with the fonz at blue smoke<\/i> (chicken fried steak\u2026yurmy yurm), di\u2019s bday at bourgeois pig<\/i> and decibel<\/i>, din at excellent pork chop house<\/i> followed by a weird run-in at apotheke<\/i> with both di and her crew as well as m and chris\u2026coincidentally, and numerous ramen runs with di (we love our ramen). korean fried chicken at bon chon<\/i> and boka<\/i> were thrown in there liberally too\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

april 10th was margies bday bash at APT<\/i>. shes since moved back from dc, so we partied it up\u2026word. that was followed with brooklyn roaming with m and chris as they looked around at apartments. theres some niiiice apartments in brooklyn. and just this past tuesday was a ramen meetup with sara at minca ramen factory<\/i>, whos back from japan (well\u2026has been for a while now).
whew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BE KIND, REWIND<\/b>
this is a common thing now, the big rewind posts to cover entire months now. but back in the day, i was much more dedicated to updating the blog. back when everything i did seemed new and holy shit exciting. not to say things arent holy shit exciting anymore, but the new-ness definitely could do for some burnishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the fun part about having a blog tho (well\u2026one thats actually updated regularly), is that it\u2019s easy to go back in time and recollect what you did a year ago, two years ago, three years ago, etc\u2026when things did still seem new. and so based off a small twitter janelle<\/a> posted, i thought it\u2019d be fun to rewind bit by bit.
i think i\u2019ll rewind as far back as my journal takes me\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
