dirty chai.
February 9, 2010
dirty chai’s are one of my favorite drinks, chai lattes with as many shots of expresso as needed. yum. the past week hasn’t been too eventful, i worked at Apple for the first time in a long while. it was nice. things have just been busy between school, work and my internship. typical.
emma, nick, jake and i went to a fun dj/live screen printing party thing in northeast minneapolis last weekend. it was surprisingly enjoyable. ben and i went to a cooking class at williams-sonoma on sunday, we’ve got another one next week too.
i’m going to vegas for my internship on sunday and coming back late late wednesday night. i’ve never been to vegas, nor can i say i’ve ever expressed any interest in going there but it should be fun nonetheless. i also got off work to go to nyc for my birthday, i’m going for the weekend of march 19th-22nd. it’s both sara and i’s birthday the week before so it’ll definitely be a good trip. jordan, james and aubrey are also joining us and maybe alison, zach and alyssa.
that’s all for now.

chicago.
January 31, 2010
I’m in Chicago for the weekend with Autumn and Robin for my internship, and it’s going really well. I haven’t been in this city for years and don’t remember it being so nice! Particularly the architecture, almost all the buildings downtown are gorgeous. I came early early Saturday morning and am leaving tomorrow at 4:30 to hopefully get back to Minneapolis for class at 6:30. I got to go to eat at a couple great restaurants here, saw The Bean and did some shopping on Michigan Ave. It’s been just an overall great trip. The hotel we’re at is very nice, a small luxury boutique hotel that reminds me of NYC. Working at the show with Getrags has been great, it’s exciting as 3 managers of the lines we rep are here so I’ve learned a lot.
I’m tromping up to Ashland after my Tuesday morning class to get my crown finished then will be back in Minneapolis Wednesday night. Things also seem to be working out for Vegas, I’ll be going there in a few weeks for another show, the 14th-18th. Check out the video below and my flickr, added a few new photos.
what to do.
January 27, 2010
Why are there so many things I want to do? I’ve been thinking a bit about what I really want to do/call myself upon graduation and I don’t know the answer. I want to live in NYC. I want to live in London. I want to be a buyer. I want to own a restaurant. I want to work for Apple. I want to travel. I want to go to culinary school. I want to speak French. I want to own a bakery. I want to own a business. There are too many things. I like being settled again back in Minneapolis, yet I don’t like being settled back in Minneapolis. I’m thinking of studying abroad in London next semester. I’m applying for a year long PR Apple internship in England. I miss NYC, I’m looking into buying internships there.
P.S. Apple announced the iPad today. No opinion on the name, but the device looks really slick.

Back to Minneapolis, and it’s like I never left. I’ve been super busy either at school, work or my internship. I’m really enjoying working back with Autumn and Robin, this upcoming weekend they’re flying me to Chicago for a market. I think I’ve only been to chicago once, a long time ago so it should be fun!
This weekend Ben and I tackled Julia Child’s famous beef bourguignon recipe. It was quite a task that resulted in one of the most amazing meals I’ve ever had. We cooked from 9:30 to 3:30 am then ate it the day after with a salad, bread and mashed potato/parsnips. We also went to a baking class at Kitchen Window in uptown where we learned to make a few different cakes, including the best chocolate cake and buttercream frosting I’ve tasted. It was a good weekend indeed, full of cooking.
back to mpls.
January 11, 2010
Well, winter break has come and gone. I’m back in Minneapolis, at my new apartment. Allie and I are living together, we found a great place between Minneapolis and St Paul. It’s a two-bedroom condo, with an amazing kitchen. Allie came down with me last weekend and we got a few things moved in/situated. We still don’t have a couch yet, and my bed is still in Ashland but slowly but surely things are getting settled.
I started work again at the Southdale Apple and started an internship with Autumn and Robin. The Southdale Apple Store got remodeled right after I left last year, so it’s like a whole new store to me. I decided to drop my photography class and instead and doing the internship.
Other than that, nothing too exciting has been happening. I miss NYC already, that city is addicting. It is nice to be back in Minneapolis and at MCAD though, we’ll see how things work out this semester.
christmas.
December 25, 2009
Christmas has come, and almost gone. What the heck? Not one part of me felt like Christmas this year, it came much too quick. I managed to get a flight out of NYC on Monday, Sara and I had to go down to TX then back up to MN. Amy, Matt and Tyler came and picked me up on Monday night from the Airport then my mom came and got me on Tuesday morning in order to be back in Ashland for my dentist appointment. Tuesday I just hung out then Wednesday morning Grandma, Grandpa and I came down to Wausau. We did Christmas festivities Wednesday, Yesterday and Today. The Buckallews got a Wii and new big TV for Christmas so we’ve been in front of that a lot today. It’s nice not having to do anything or be anywhere, so relaxing. I got to watch Home Alone 2 last night, such a good movie; everyone should own it.
Grandma, Grandpa and I are heading back to Ashland tomorrow so I’ll be able to make it in time for Christmas with The Cichons. Sunday will be Christmas with Dad and then probably later with Mom. So many Christmases…
In other news, Allie and I found an apartment in Minneapolis! It’s on Minnehaha Ave about 10 minutes from MCAD and 10 minutes from St Thomas. Though I haven’t seen it, it’s basically the perfect place. Brand new condo, stainless steel gas range kitchen, wood floors, secure building, free laundry, etc etc. I cannot wait to move in, we’re signing the least next weekend as I start work back at Apple on the 4th!
It’s super weird to think that I don’t have a return flight to New York, I’m going to miss that place. At the same time though, I’m so happy to be back at MCAD. We’ll see how it all works out, it always does.
New pics on the Flickr, check it out.
Merry Christmas to everyone!
snow.
December 20, 2009
Today, it finally snowed in the city. Yay! It actually feels like Christmas a little. It’s been snowing since about noon, nonstop. I took a cab home after eating dinner at Blockheads with Silvia, Craig and Sara and we got stuck once then fishtailed about 40% of the rest of the ride. By the time I got home I had a text from American Airlines saying my flight was canceled, great. I’m sitting on hold now
update: soonest flight outta here is Monday at 4:30 pm.
