Between the article this week in the New Yorker about S.U.V. safety and this article about Subaru evading fuel economy regulations, I’m mostly not so thrilled with car manufacturers right now. Some good news is that Motor Trend magazine named the Toyota Prius the 2004 car of the year. Hope it helps hybrid sales.
What's been on my mind lately? Read on...
Well, I managed to survive the cold, and even made it out of the house once or twice this weekend.
On Friday, Abby and I had one of the best sushi dinners I’ve ever had at Fugakyu in Brookline. It sounds like the service can be hit-or-miss there, but we had nothing short of perfection. We were promptly seated, our food came out in a reasonable amount of time, and it was divine. For a real treat, try the Tiger Eye appetizer – cuttle fish stuffed with smoked salmon and avocado – yum!
Filene’s is having a reasonably big sale right now, so I ended up buying two long-sleeve shirts and three sweaters yesterday for $75. Post-christmas shopping is a wonderful thing.
It’s cold outside. Like snot-freezing cold.
I took a shower this morning before work, and thought I could get away without a hat for the short trip to the car. In the less than thirty seconds it took to walk to the car, my hair froze. Pretty much solid.
According to Boston.com, it’s 1° F right now at Logan.
Last week, we went to see The Maker’s Hand – an exhibit on studio furniture at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Wow! There are some absolutely gorgeous pieces there (as well as some not-so-gorgeous ones). If you’re in town before the end of the exhibit (February 8), check it out!
Wanna see the one of the worst Flash animations ever? Of course you do. It’s waiting for you right here.
Some friends ended up needing a menorah for Hannukah so I made them one. Check it out here.
Happy winter holiday of choice.
