Let's just skip all those other weeks in October and start with an update from this past week. It's November now! It's cold! There is a mouse still presumably hiding in our kitchen and refusing to eat the sweet sweet poison that we have set out for it. I read on the interwebs that mice don't like the smell of peppermint, so now our apartment smells very strongly of peppermint oil. It clears the sinuses! It stimulates the senses! But really I just hope it is to mice what garlic is to vampires, you know?

On Sunday I had a lunch rendezvous with Cathy (visiting from DC) and we went to a Korean place on St Mark's called Bon Chon for some fried chicken. Now, this was not your ordinary KFC FC (unless KFC stands for Korean frickin crazydelicious). One bite and I knew I would be back for more. Indeed I have been thinking about it all week. Maybe the C should stand for crackilicious instead. Oh also it was good to see Cathy, haha.

Wednesday one of Cynthia's former classmates had a book launch party at the Taschen store in Soho. We went, along with all of RISD, and it was really nice. The book was something like "design for Obama" and somehow co-authored by Spike Lee, so he was there! Unfortunately I took too long getting up the courage to ask him for a picture/authograph, so by the time we shuffled up to the table he was leaving :( For the Yankees game, apparently. Oh well, then Cynthia and I went to get noodles in Chinatown and all was well.

Last night went to Mooncake with the usual crew and got some Sapporo with our dinner. Then J and I went home to do pilates even though Gaodi warned us not to exercise with alcohol in our bellies. I think it was fine though because I have yet to feel sore. Tonight we are having a party at our office for one of our authors and lots of important publishing people are coming. Eep! I hope it goes well. In any case, can't complain about free drinks on a Friday evening. I should probably go study the guest list now and try to memorize people's titles.

Will try to post pics next time, promise!
