fifty dollars

I have been sorta depressed lately. And to top it off, I haven't been feeling well since I got back to NYC, so I haven't been able to work.

I don't like the feeling of knowing there is a lot of work to be done but being physically incapable of doing it.
(I mean, I could probably do some work, but there would most like be lots of mistakes as I battle the waves of dizziness and nausea and headaches that have been plaguing me lately. I'm all about realizing and respecting my limits.)

I really want a Boston Terrier. Two of them.
I'm going to keep saying that until it happens.

I found this picture of Helen Keller and a Boston Terrier:

I wonder what that dog's name was.
He's looking at me, Helen.

recipe from: milk and honey cafe

I used 3 tablespoons of Maeda-en Sweet Green Tea instead of 2 Tb matcha because it's what I had on hand. My pound cake turned out much lighter because of this substitution. The flavor was light, not too sweet and both my very Japanese grandma and her very Japanese friend loved it. I can't wait to try baking it again but with proper matcha. The closest thing I can compare it to is castella.

train view of fall

its a little blurry but just like in japan most passengers would rather go fast between stops and dwell at stations longer

JAD FAIR

When I was away for Thanksgiving I got to go to the Textile Museum in DC, which has a really nice contemporary Japanese fashion exhibit going on until April 2010.

It showcases the works and styles of Issey Miyake, Yohji Yamamoto, and Rei Kawakubo.
It's particularly interesting if you're into avant-garde anything (like I am) because it is amazing to see what these designers started producing at a time when no one else was doing anything like it. Very revolutionary.

I had to whip out my camera to remember the occasion---and to share with you of course:

pleated dress by Issey Miyake

(Miyake is known for his pleated garments. I strongly recommend you look these up. Also look up runway videos of these garments to see how they move!)
