Maybe it’s because there is a lot going on at work, or maybe it’s because I’m going to school on top of it all, and the homework is piling up, but I feel like I’m running out of time to see it all, do it all, and eat it all. So where did I leave…

So, this blogging thing hasn’t taken off with the fervor that I expected of myself. It’s been since Thursday morning since I last posted, and of course, in that interim I’ve seen so much. Thursday afternoon, we went to see the Lux exhibit at the FIT museum. Swoon. As almost always, I was the last…

We’re on a little class break. Very short, so here’s the latest synopsis. Tuesday night, Ko Sushi. Loved it–tasted different than southern sushi. David said it was because the water is different? Wednesday, in class–groups got together to start working on the final project. My group is doing an analysis/rebranding of the flailing Gap stores….

I’m realizing that if I don’t sit down every evening and write down what I did that day, I forget. Right now, we’re spending every morning in class, and every afternoon on a field trip. So much walking, and I’m so tired by the time I get back to the room, that I just sort…

Actually, Sunday afternoon. I just walked over to Trader Joe’s, a grocery store with a Hawaiian theme. Everything is “Joe’s” brand, from produce to meat and dairy, and it’s all healthy, organic food. I picked up some almond butter (like peanut butter, but better for you), a loaf of high fiber bread, and some low…

Last night I met up with an old friend for dinner at Lamarca (no website). It was tiny, VERY casual, delicious and only $14 for a salad, bread and large pasta dish. They’re only open on weekdays and they close at 10, so we headed out to find some dessert. Landing just a few blocks…

Today, we had a guest speaker who talked about all sorts of fascinating things: the 80/20 rule, managing brand equity, buying for retail stores, the value of a business background relating to design. I took four pages of notes. No fancy restaurants tonight; David left this morning, so I feel a bit lonely. I pulled…
