I’ve always been a fan of watches for as long as I can remember and never leave the house without one on my wrist. So, when I saw Modify Watches’ Kickstarter campaign, I knew I’d be a backer. I chose their ModiFamily Starter Kit level. Their email said we’d be getting our backer rewards in June, so imagine my excitement when I received mine this week!
Loved their shipping packaging!
You know what I’m getting tired of? When I disagree with people and they don’t let me. Like I’m not entitled to my own opinion, or their opinion must be better than mine so I HAVE to agree. And it’s never on important issues, like civil rights; it’s always on small ones that don’t really matter, like preferring a color over another.
I’m holding my One OK Rock VIP Pass
One OK Rock came to New York City on February 9 to perform at the Best Buy Theater in Times Square. My friends and I bought our VIP passes the moment they went on sale in September 2013.
Since none of us live in New York and the concert was on a Sunday night, we all decided to stay in the city and travel back to our respective states the next day. One of my fellow concertgoer works in the travel industry so she was able to score us a room at the New York Marriott Marquis next door to the theater for a heavily discounted price
We all signed the fan banner welcoming One OK Rock to NYC!
Last night, Carmela and her husband held a sushi lesson/boozefest at their house. There was about 20 people or so in attendance. They asked a sushi chef at Wegmans to teach everyone how to make sushi. At $15 per person, everything was provided: appetizers, drinks, sushi mats, chopsticks, condiments, and all the sushi ingredients needed. We learned to make about 4-5 different rolls, starting with the California roll above.
With the right tools and correctly made rice, sushi is very easy to prepare. I had fun, and the hosts didn’t skimp on the ingredients. My sushi rolls had combinations of salmon, tuna, lump crab meat, crab sticks, avocado, and cucumbers. That amount of (inevitably) drunk people posed an annoyance near the end of the night, when people’s skills and attention spans started dwindling. There were lots of yelling, stumbling, and throwing things about. Massive props goes to our instructor who was calm and took it all in stride.
All the positivity I’ve been collecting from the universe regarding one of my previous posts must’ve finally caught up to me because I finally have a new job. Funnily enough, just last week, my friend and I were in the city for a summer festival by the water, and I remarked to her how great it would be to work in the area.
My first day was nice. There was another new hire, who had a Serenity quote on the back of his car, so we bonded a bit on that. Someone also celebrated his birthday during my first day, so that was nice. All in all, I have a good feeling about this job, especially since all of my other previous ones haven’t been great.
Looks like the tarot lady’s first prediction came true…
