Collarbone High: June 2008
http://kdbrecht.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Me and nobody see eye to eye. Sunday, June 15, 2008. Better late than never. Now that I finally have Internet (hooray! I've gotten around to posting photos from cherry blossom season on Flickr, as well as some exterior shots of my apartment. I'll try to post interior shots later this week, but first I need to clean. :(. To see them, use the link at right, or find me on flickr - username brechtgirldc. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Collarbone High: May 2008
http://kdbrecht.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Me and nobody see eye to eye. Thursday, May 08, 2008. Those were some weird earthquakes. When I got home from work last night I was puzzled by a rythmic clacking sound coming from my bedroom. The culprit turned out to be the jewelry rack hanging on the bedroom door; the necklaces were gently swaying, and the sound was the noise they made as they hit the door. Clack, clack, clack. Something was definitely afoot with the earth's crust. Nothing fell, though, and I dozed off and slept through the other quake...

Collarbone High: #6: GARB Pintino, Jan. 12
http://kdbrecht.blogspot.com/2010/02/6-garb-pintino-jan-12.html
Me and nobody see eye to eye. Monday, February 01, 2010. 6: GARB Pintino, Jan. 12. GARB Pintino is one of the reasons I started this project. It's next to my doctor's office, so I'm always walking past it and thinking its patio looks inviting and. To try it, but never getting around to it. My underlying goal this year is to stop. To do things and actually. Them So after my latest doctor visit, I decided to move this place out of the "I should eat there sometime" column. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Collarbone High: February 2010
http://kdbrecht.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Me and nobody see eye to eye. Thursday, February 04, 2010. 8: La Gorda, Jan. 25. Another Metropolis find, La Gorda is a Cuban restaurant tucked away on a side street in Roppongi that has so many awesome-looking eateries, I could spend the entire year dining only on that street and still not hit all of them. 1,000 yen - an unheard-of bargain at dinner. Lunch sets in this neighborhood usually cost around that much and include a side or two, but at dinner, the prices go way up and the sets are abandoned.

Collarbone High: #5: ZipZap, Jan. 10
http://kdbrecht.blogspot.com/2010/01/5-zipzap-jan-10.html
Me and nobody see eye to eye. Friday, January 29, 2010. 5: ZipZap, Jan. 10. Bad name, good burgers. This project would be so easy if I wrote only four words about each restaurant. Speaking of the project, I've given it a name: Project Palette. (Bravo network, if you'd like to buy this concept from me, give me a call.). Ryoko ordered the turkey sandwich I'd rejected, and I didn't regret my choice. The sandwich lacked any dressing and looked very dry. Reva's tuna melt was intriguing - served open f...One, ...

Collarbone High: March 2010
http://kdbrecht.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Me and nobody see eye to eye. Tuesday, March 30, 2010. 12: Old Vine, March 8. I'm a bit of a marketing geek, so I'm fascinated by the study of consumer behavior. It's a subject I think about a lot as I walk around my neighborhood, which is oversaturated with restaurants. How do people choose? Why did that crowd of salarymen pass up a bunch of izakayas in favor of an identical izakaya? How did the well-dressed couple decide between overpriced French, overpriced Italian and overpriced Korean? I feel too un...

Collarbone High: #7: Marvelous Cream, Jan. 18
http://kdbrecht.blogspot.com/2010/02/7-marvelous-cream-jan-18.html
Me and nobody see eye to eye. Tuesday, February 02, 2010. 7: Marvelous Cream, Jan. 18. Of things that wouldn't fly in the States: a photo of this storefront would end up on FAILblog, and deservedly so. Oh, get your minds out of the gutter: it's ice cream. And it really is marvelous. Able to read it, albeit slowly, and I settled on a combination involving raspberries and raspberry macarons. Heavenly, especially the bites with macaron chunks. Marvelous Cream is a chain based in Japan (I went to the Hibiya ...

Collarbone High: #10: Chinese Cafe 8, Feb. 20
http://kdbrecht.blogspot.com/2010/03/10-chinese-cafe-8-feb-20.html
Me and nobody see eye to eye. Wednesday, March 24, 2010. 10: Chinese Cafe 8, Feb. 20. My expectations for Chinese Cafe 8 were high, not only because my friends love it (the food AND the giant gold penis hanging from the ceiling) but because I had to sit through "Avatar" before dinner. By the 120-minute mark, I was starving, and wishing the movie would hurry up and get to the ending we all saw coming so I could eat already. Informs me that traditionally, the leftovers are sent home with the diner. But...
