boutique, sushi and sake, and $15,000 patek

this past friday, my friend opened up her boutique store in the city (http://www.needretailtherapy.com).  it is pretty cool how everyone my age is getting into entrepreneurship.  the store is pretty awesome albeit it is only for gals.  if i was a chick, i think i would dig the stuff they had =).

after the store closed down, my friends and i went to get some sushi.  dude, the sushi joint rocked!  i was really blown away by the fish...and the sake.  we ordered a bottle of sake called houraisen kuu ($170 for a 170 mL bottle...that's exactly 1 buck per mL) and apparrently it is impossible to get in the states.  the owner knows a guy from japan who knows this other guy who knows another guy that knows the owner of houraisen.  the owner apparrently hooked up the sushi owner with a bunch of sake and smuggled it back to the state.  anyways, if you guys ever get a chance to drink some sake by houraisen, you must do it.  the bottle of kuu was very smooth and had a subtle sweetness to it.  if any of you guys know more about that sake, leave me a comment.

after we closed down the sushi joint, we thanked the owner/chef for his crazy fish and sake.  before we left, my friend noticed his watch on his wrist and asked about it.  he said it was a patek.  although he did not divulge the cost to his pretty watch, he said it was at least $15,000 (he later spilled the beans and said the watch has around $45,000!!!  dude that's someone's salary on his wrist or a entry-level and fully loaded german car!).  anyways, he started talking about his other watches (19 in total) and how he recently purchased a chopard in hong kong.  anyways, if any of you guys are the city, you guys must check out this place.

so will smith was shooting his movie on my parking lot today?!  dude, his trailer was huge!!!  his movie set caused a massive traffic jam near work but luckily i drove in early today to beat it. 

did a presentation on my work today.  went really well.  nobody was nodding off which is always good. 

ran 11 miles on sunday and i hope to run another 3 tomorrow morning.  i'm hoping to run 20 miles in a couple of months.  my toes are getting really nasty.  i may have to get another pair shoes.
