Moving Day

I’m mov­ing in with my good friend Diana and am pretty excited about it. My land­lord asked me why I didn’t recruit my friends to help me move, and I told him that I’m not that mean. I hired movers this time, because frankly my desk is too big and heavy to carry down 5 flights of stairs, and also I don’t want to deal with find­ing park­ing for a U-Haul in my new neigh­bor­hood. The movers thought it was funny that I packed most of my belong­ings in double-bagged, kitchen-sized trash bags.

I’m a lit­tle sad though, because when I moved to San Fran­cisco two years ago, I really thought that the next time I moved it would be to my newly-renovated Green­wich Vil­lage condo that would some­how mag­i­cally pay off itself. What can I say? I dream big.

Since I haven’t eaten since 9am, I think I’m jus­ti­fied to rank my neigh­bor­hood haunts. I’m so hun­gry that the play­ing field is level and I’m not lean­ing towards any par­tic­u­lar cui­sine tonight. So here is a list of my favorite restau­rants in the Inner (and parts of the Outer) Richmond.

1. Burma Super­star
2. Sushi Bistro
3. Shabu House
4. Han Il Kwan
5. Kab­uto
6. Khan Toke
7. My Tofu House
8. Good Luck Dim Sum
9. Broth­ers

about

Hi, I'm Mindy. People who meet me and then happen to stumble upon my blog are usually surprised that I have things to say because I'm quiet. Yes, I actually have thoughts. I have feelings and emotions too, believe it or not. more ↓

People who know me will say that I’m loud, too nice for my own good, and show signs of someone with a mild case of autism.

I grew up with two older brothers and no friends, which means my childhood was spent bouncing between PC, NES, and Playstation games. I consider myself a casual gamer– I never leave home without my DS. My favorite video game character will always be Quina Quen from Final Fantasy 9.

Once upon a time, I studied abroad in Paris and loved it so, so much. I think about Paris on a bi-hourly basis. I now live in San Francisco, but hope to move to New York someday.

The name of my website comes from a Teen Girl Squad episode.

I love pugs, Kinder Eggs, traveling, and shy people.

I don’t like spiders, horseradish, driving, and being shy. less ↑
