Nerds and Fresh Fish, Always a Good Combination
Week 1, Day 4
Today I headed down to the International District to meet two of my nerdiest friends, Nick and Tony for lunch. J's Sushi was our destination and upon turning the corner and seeing my lunch location I considered going back to my car. Boy am I glad I didn't.
Being a hole in the wall is an understatement for J's. Small, black with just a sign that says "Sushi" distinguished it from the other restaurants, but as I reminded myself, I was in the heart of the ID, so what did I expect. We sat at the counter and J himself stood behind the rows of fresh fish rolling little clouds of rice for our next delicious sushi bite. We didn't know what we were having until he placed it on our little cutting board. Everything from Baby tuna belly to spiky sea urchin ended up dancing on my taste buds, all so fresh and delicious, J would even tell us what didn't need to be dipped because it would ruin the already amazing flavor.
After my two hour sushi extravaganza, and lively conversation covering everything from my recent blog posts to my owning a bianary watch, which both Tony and Nick decided was far to nerdy for me, I headed home. At home the endless and today not very effective daily job search awaited me, in addition to my daily dose of contract work. Even though slightly uneventful, you gotta love finding what could be my new favorite sushi restaurant.
Until next time.......

There are 10 types of people in the world, those that can pull off a binary watch and those that can't.
ReplyDeleteThere's only one person which can rock a pink binary watch. I don't care what you say, it looked pink in that light, so pink it is.
