Sitting in the Restaurant aaaall by myself...
Suffering from a major case of the ocular/gastronomic size differential-itis.

Sitting in the Restaurant aaaall by myself...
Suffering from a major case of the ocular/gastronomic size differential-itis.
Lol...
Trying desperately to kill time till my hunger comes back...
J-book. Table... B.T. On loudspeaker...
Not too noisy or too many people around.
Comes natural to do what I do most....
Missed the homeys for sushi night tonight...
But I thought I would treat myself, celebrate.
Its been a productive 2008 so far.
Finally (albeit somewhat late for my preference,) clearing out the personal books.
Single now. And writing. and drawing, and planning, and dreaming, much more.
Time to myself.
A few major works already in progress, booking up, generating lots of new leads for the months to come.
A few little guys done already, and one major project I was very happy with :) :)
Two new machines now, and I am happy to say my tuning skills have been developing immensely. I have finally tuned my older machines to par- that makes 4 excellent running buzzers, and two untested but promising backups.
And finally, finally,
Just bought my tickets to Brasil...
In Salvador Sushi is a rare, exotic, expensive, pleasure.
Its funny how now matter how much you love them already, your appreciation for where you are, what you have, is heightened by the fact that you will soon be leaving...
The food is excellent. My waittress, "Hei" suggested an squid tempura/avocado salad that was awesome. oooh yes. Glad I decided to expiriment, instead of sticking to my old favorite- chicken Udon soup mmmmm. :)
Overall the restaurant was awesome- the decor was amazing. Brown and earthy with distressed metals, frosted glass and semi-lustrous mineral accents... beautiful
Much warmer and less... feaux-triad seeming than the standard black and red 1998, matrix sushi restaurant decor.
Their bathroom prompted a picture it was SO awesome. I have to find the cascading labyrinth sinks. Seashell inlay in the marble... accents in burnt orange.
As perfect as I would have designed it.
At first hei gave the distinct impression that she was either really shy or really, really didnt want to bother me... lol. But by the end of the night she was freindlier.
She kept asking as, i ordered, "are you sure you can eat everything??" I let her know that my stomach is a lot bigger than it would looks... I guess i should have taken her advice.
(sushi roll and squid kabob in the fridge right now.)
It was slow as hell so I gave her a fat tip...
Politics. Yooou know.
Another waitress said it was always this slow- I guess the owner had not invested in adequate marketing.
Way to go owner.
I found it quiet, comfortable, relaxing, and intimate.
Unpretentious, a plus.
Anywhere I go where a lot of people come- or worse, frequent, tends to turn into an extended head-nod and hand shake party after a few revisits...
She left me with a prompt to tell more people...
But I might just have to keep this one to myself ;)
