My locker is a storage space for mac&cheese and granola . . .

Proof!

I'm surprised that all my muslin hasn't started smelling like the inside of a Whole Foods (where I get all of this).

P.S. I ate that Annie's White Cheddar Mac & Cheese an hour or so ago, and mixed hummus in. I wish my hummus were fresher . . . but alas, it was pretty good!


Now, I have a habit of posting twice after a long pause of no posting . . . I believe it is guilt. But lets take a tour of what I have been doing this past week~

1. Karaoke at Japas 27
What? I had time? Kinda, sorta . . .

What I got at karaoke: Roll Combo! Everything is quite orange I know . . . but I enjoyed every morsel! I also must be getting used to spicy things, because I swear I almost used all the wasabi they gave me, which was a lot me thinks.


Singing Dreams Come True (an awesome Japanese unit who makes crazy good music). I also sang a mix of American and Japanese artists. T'was fun! (P.S. I was unaware this picture was being taken until flash went off)

2. ROCKING MY TALLY HALL SHIRT

The shirt I bought at the concert. I'm impatient so I didn't want to wait to alter it (it's kinda huge . . . ), so I just tucked it into my jeans and went to school.
Needless to say, I think I mentioned it a couple of times to various people. I also got recommended a band that day called deerhoof! Very acquired taste, but I liked some of the songs I listened to. For some reason, I thought they were Canadian (why? because I'm retarded and think of mooses when I hear the words deer and hoof), but they're Californian! Check them out when ya can!
P.S. (many P.S.' today) I am wearing one of my wigs in that picture. Ya know, jazzing up the regular t-shirt shorts combo.

3. Looking Angry in Draping Class and Vegan Loving Hut

My face says: Grrrr, why are there muslin scraps around my clean floor???

But actually, the floor is never clean anyway. [nervous laughter]

Outfit rundown:
-Pink Sweater from Japan (it has no tag! Which has every bit of relevance since I learned about them in textiles recently . . . )
-Overalls that I've had since elementary school!
-6% Dokidoki Strawberry Necklace
-H&M floral tights
-Payless boots

That day, I also revisited Vegan Loving Hut near my school!

I ordered the Loving Hut sandwich. You can choose your side (I got salad), sauce inside the sandwich (Tarragon mayo), and the dressing on the salad (Loving Hut dressing, which is similar to the orange ginger dressings you may find in Asian restaurants). I think I really loved the burger I got last time, but this sandwich was quite satisfying as well.
The store itself is small, but the food is good and the servers are REALLY nice. Not to mention the great prices. I love to eat healthy without breaking the bank.
Oh, and here's a helpful tip! If you go this month (March) to Loving Hut from 3-6 p.m., you get 15% off your order! I think it's a opening promotion. But it definitely makes a difference (hey, those 50 cents can be used on a zipper for my next project)!
Also, going back to the nice servers, they're really accommodating. A chick that was ordering next to me wanted to replace tomatoes with avocados and they were totally fine with it (but they apologized for only having guac). And they grant your request for utensils right away and politely (without asking me why I would need a knife for a sandwich).


So there was my week in a flash! Food, class, karaoke, food, food, food . . . mmmmmm . . .

I shall talk to y'all again soon! Tata!

Curiouser and curiouser . . .

Was not my thought when I sat down at Alice's Tea Cup, Chapter 2, located on the corner of 64th and Lexington Avenue (going down). But that's probably because I was there before.

Yesterday I made my way over there to meet with a bunch of lolita friends (lolita being the Japanese street fashion and friends being the awesome people of whom like said fashion). One of them were leaving New York and we decided it only made sense to meet up and eat and mingle. So Alice's seemed to be the right choice because, who doesn't like tea??

In order from the left, Alice's BLT with mixed greens, a pumpkin scone, and birthday tea.

If happiness could come in the form of a sandwich, it would probably be that BLT. I swear, one of the many things disabling me from turning vegetarian is bacon. AND THAT SANDWICH HAD A LOT OF IT. With maybe a slither of lettuce and a few tomatoes. The rest was blue cheese spread. And I crave salt like a pregnant woman well into her 6th month, so that sandwich pretty much made for the bliss of becoming a mother of a food baby.

The pumpkin scone I've had before and it's their best scone in my opinion, but I split it with my friend's mixed berry scone and enjoyed the latter as well. A nice little tip: they have a $10 minimum on weekends, so order a sandwich and have your friend order Alice's Tea that comes with 2 scones. That's what my friend and I did, and I gave her 1/2 a sandwich and she gave me a scone, and we split the tea. Best deal ever.

Lastly, since I have an unhealthy relationship with tea, I had to have tea. The birthday tea wasn't anything too special (I'm not THAT big on fruit teas), but it hit the right spot.

The day continued like this: Dylan's Candy Bar, Crumbs, Honey and Tea (a store in Grand Central: the man working there with the glasses is nice and cute and when a man knows his teas, well, you know the rest), Book Off, and Kinokuniya.

I got super excited about the Barbie display at Dylans only to find out chocolate shaped Barbie's pumps should not be that expensive. But alas, Barbie is too much fabulosity money can't handle her.

The day ended with tired striped legs, a gaping face at the man sitting 2 seats away with his brand new Gucchi bag and Coach sneakers (both of which I found unattractive), and good memories (the part that really matters, no?)
