technology and thailand, but not together

I forgot how much fun my college roommate Lauren and I have together. She is the only reason I survived 3.5 years of college in Cleveland. A group of us trekked to LA this weekend to soak up sunshine and celebrate Lauren’s 24th. A view from our hotel in Hollywood:

Just got back from a 3.5-day, no-phone, no-internet, romantic get-away slash birthday present from and with Jeff.

candy cocktails and inventive dishes

[[ TAILOR in SOHO ]]
It started off with a Bazooka martini. This brought me back to my childhood (although unlike the classic pink bubble gum, this concoction maintained flavor ’till the end). The drink list primed us for the unique dinner menu which appeared as though the ingredients were all mixed up. [...]
