jiro dreams of sushi slant

Well, we made it this far. Today yours truly is 28 years young.I never thought I'd actually 28, as it sounded so old and mature back when I was spry, but I have to say I don't feel that much different. Not wiser (even a genius like me has limits). Definitely not more mature. When people ask "How old are you" I still blurt out, "24..." followed with a quick "Oops, er, I mean, 28." Guess this automatic response means I'll always be 24 at heart?Anyway, I've resolved to make 28 the best year of my life. How so, you ask? I have no clue. I'll try more things I've never done; say "yes" more than "no"; send out more of my short stories, keep chugging away at novel after novel; listen to music ; learn to cook as well as Tony Bourdain; Bourdain (I would die, that would be ah-mazing); pay homage to my youth by getting into the best physical shape of my life and finally take those professional pin-up pics I've been wanting forever; invest in an apartment complex (or five) as part of my retirement plan;
force persuade J to learn the dance at the end of with me; be completely fluent in Farsi; listen to more Journey (if that's even humanely possible); be Gilda:I want to. I've done an excellent job of living to this point, but now I want to ramp it up a notch. I'm 28, after all. I want to go to the big annual New Orleans Jazz Festival; I want to bicycle down the length of California (and then possibly tackle bicycling cross country); I want to eat what's been called "the best sushi on the planet" at the hole-in-the-wall sushi joint Sukiyabashi Jiro in Tokyo; I want to get seriously involved in making puppy mills illegal (I hope it helps that after this summer I'll be married to a law student lawyer); I want to go salsa dancing on a regular basis; I want to join a book club; I want to dance in a fountain and publicly blame it on the wine (only J and I would know that all I had to drink was water); I want to see a tornado in the flesh; I want to be an expat for at least a year of my life; I want to live near my brother and sister so I can stop by at a moment's notice and vice versa;
I want to break bad in some way or another.I want to go wine tasting in Santa Barbara and pretend to know what I'm talking about as I swish Zin across my palette; I want to get my books published and see my name on the spine of a copy (or three) at a bookstore; I want to go camping cross-country; sushi club delivery larraldeI want to laugh so hard I puke (J beat me to this one); akai sushi las condes deliveryI want to read everything F. Scott Fitzgerald's ever written; sushi conveyor belt bellinghamI want to try going blonde for a spell just to see what I'd look like; I want to rent a sparse flat in Florence and write near an open window with a view of the Ponte Vecchio; I want to sit down with my two grandmothers (who are 98 and 85, respectively) and let them each recount their life stories into my voice-recorder, then I want to do the same with my parents;
I want to drive a black Porsche 911 Carrera and feel the leather steering wheel gripped in my hands (even if it's just for a test-drive down a few miles of 101 on a slow Saturday afternoon. Hey, the sales guy doesn't need to know I'm not actually serious about buying).I can't possibly accomplish all of these things and more in a year, but I can start by accomplishing some. The point is I've laid down the gauntlet. This will be the year that's going to kick me into a higher gear. I want to experience as much as I can.Theme song to kick-start 28: "Foolish Heart" by Journey Steve Perry, on.Som registrerad användare på MinHembio kan du utnyttja många funktioner som du annars inte har tillgång till: Skapa ett galleri och filmsamling Skriva inlägg i forumet Skapa prisbevakningar på Prisjakt Annonsera gratis på Marknaden.

Viktat medelbetyg:  (7.00) (baserat på 2 st) Min 2 kanals setup Här är min anläggning för tillfället. Ganska ny i hifi världen, hittade till den här sidan för rätt precis 2 år sedan. Sen var man fast ! Nöjd över prylarna jag har för tillfället. Men en cd spelare eller extern dac skulle inte sitta helt fel.. Lutar helt klart åt att det blir en cd21 så fort börsen blir lite fullare. Alla ek grejjer håller sakta men säket på att bytas ut. En rya matta ska inhandlas. En ny soffa vore inte fel.
