Sorry

Sorry for no info for a while. I have been busy.

So with design festa I learned that I need to keep pieces around or below 20 dollars on hand for events like that.

I am currently working on my website and hope to launch it in the next week or so.

I have been debating on applying to grad school and am trying to narrow down the colleges.

Finally I had a pretty crappy day at work today. For some reason, i am pretty sure, my boss doesnt like me. She will wait till my co-worker bryan gets back to the office and asks him to edit and email for her. She has not asked me since the second week. When giving us and assignment she will talk directly to bryan and not me. Its annoying. To add to this I am pretty sure bryan dislikes me. i know he did two years ago when we studied here, but I figure it would change. When I walk in to our room he will leave and go to the lounge and visa versa at the dorm. I have no idea how this will work when we move in to a tiny dorm room together.

So having a crappy day I went out to dinner and I was not thinking and went to a sushi restaurant that one of the guys I know from a local bar owns, or so I thought he owned it. Turns out he has just been working there for 30 years (it has been open for 60) his boss owns it and got it from his mother. basically I spent more than I wanted, but it was about what I would spend on sushi in America. It was amazing sushi. The fish was much better than the kaiten (sushi go round 105yen) sushi. I also had the pleasure of trying real wasabi, not powder and all I can say is WOW. The color and look is like of finelly grated ginger. The taste is completely different from the powder. It starts out almost sweet for a second, then it feels like it is melting in your mouth or spreading, and then you get the heat, but it is not as strong or in your nose as powdered. I also had the pleasure of eating two different kinds of abalone, both very good. He even has his own sake for he restaurant (over 17 kinds made by him), I did not try this sadly.


Oh ya and this past monday I went to go meet with a store about selling my jewelry there. I now have 11 pieces at a store here in tokyo. Instead of charging rent for the space like many stores the owner just takes 35% of the sale, which is very reasonable, since most galleries in America take 50-60% of the sale. Hopefully this works out well for myself. I am also learning that the japanese like to hear a story behind something. I learned this with the jewelry and saw it again today at the sushi resturant.

Ok time for bed. Till later. bye
