The ball of my foot still bugs me a bit when I walk because I still have a limited range of motion...but I'm so grateful to at least be able to walk.
Eeek. I still cringe re-living the experience in my mind.

1-Year Ankle-versary
I forgot to mention that two days ago was the one-year anniversary of my breaking my ankle.
The ball of my foot still bugs me a bit when I walk because I still have a limited range of motion...but I'm so grateful to at least be able to walk.
Eeek. I still cringe re-living the experience in my mind.

New Orleans: Trip Four, Part 1
Sorry for the absence AC, DHong, etc.! I'm on my way back to New York and hopefully will get to post a few things while in transit today.
---------------------------------
Yay yay yay!
Going down to New Orleans means I get to see my three favorite people south of the Mason-Dixon line: Katie, Semmesey, and almost-doctor Adam!
On night one we dined at Cochon which features Cajun Southern-Style yumminess.
Adam had the Louisiana Cochon with turnips, cabbage & cracklins.
A cochon is, I believe, a big thing of yummy shredded roasted swinepig and a cracklin is like an onion ring except instead of a crunchy breaded and encased onion you have a yummy encased piece of fried fat.
SWINEPIG + FRIED FAT = HEAVENLY TASTE EXPLOSION IN MAH MOUTH
For me I had the Rabbit and Dumplings.
Katie had a potato stuffed with more potato and delicious sourcreamyconcoction.
Our other Brownfriend Audrey was in town visiting too.
Afterwards we hit up a classic New Orleans-y bar with live music and dancing.
Yay favorite people!

Off to New Orleans / Upcoming Adventures
I finally caught up on blogging and now I'm off to New Orleans again for another round of adventures.
I'm back Monday after which I'll be "staying put" for the rest of the month.
December is going to be insane though. I will be in NYC for all of three days.
Dec 2-9 I'll be in LA.
Then from LA I take a red-eye on the 9th landing at JFK at 7am on the 10th. At noon that day I fly to Chicago for a belated Thanksgiving celebration with the rest of the Kwans.
Then I fly back to NYC from Chicago on Dec 14th and then jet off to LA again on the 16th for a couple of shoots.
On the 22nd I fly to Hong Kong for Christmas and New Years and then I'll finally return to the states January 7, 2010.
I'm planning to give myself a raise in the next few months. Probably while I'm gone will be a good time for this.
I think 2010 is going to be a great year!

Non-stop Chinktown
Over the past four days I've eaten in Chinatown on three separate occasions.
Do I have a problem?
Probably.
My problem is: I RUV FOOD.
More specifically: I RUV DUMPERRRING.
My favorite new discovery (when I'm not at Tasty Hand-Pulled Noodle) is Shanghai Cuisine at the corner of Bayard and Mulberry Street.
I went there with TimLoh and friends for Sunday brunch and it was actually part 2 of a 2-part Chinatown feast and I had just been there the day before.
Also none of these idiots had ever used or heard of the iPhone app Bump which is truly awesome because you just bump your phones together to swap contact information, pictures, etc. and they all downloaded and we spent hours bumping stuff to each other.
Yesterday Felly got back from London/Paris/Turkey and had a few extra vacation days left so we tried again to go to Shanghai Cuisine.
Unfortunately they are closed Tuesdays so we settled on an old favorite, New Green Bo, which sillily has been renamed "Nice Green Bo".
Oh those Asians.

Bridget's B'day @ Cafe Charbon
Kate invited Tom and me to Cafe Charbon for her best friend Bridget's birthday.
Cafe Charbon is literally a block away from my apartment.
Yay!
I had no idea such a fun dance party existed within steps of my home.
(Actually wait, this is a lie, Pianos is steps from my home.)
Whatever.
Double-fisting was in order.
And cake!
The birthday girl provided all kinds of fun party favors including champagne and twisty straws and star-glasses.
I love an impromptu night of random fun!

BYOWhiteWine / NoPantsParty
Friday night I met up with Megoon and Dan at Bhatti, formerly known as Kabab Factory.
They've moved across the street at 27th and Lexington to a wonderful clean new location.
They still feature BYOWhiteWine though!
And the menu has expanded and is just as delicious.
Afterwards I headed cross town to AC and Shiri's where a party was underway.
Dancing commenced and pants came off.
I'd long heard about these pants-off parties but had yet to witness one.
It was wonderful.
What a bunch of monkys.
