A hopeless romantic who sometimes takes pictures. I’m still learning. Current tools: -Casio Exilim S880 -Canon Rebel XTi -Sony Ericsson S500i (phone) I make video games for a living, but currently too broke to afford new games. Such is life. I play vicariously through my coworkers. domain | music habit | time waster #1Tumblr (3.0; @untaken)http://untaken.tumblr.com/<img src="http://9.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kt6h1bG0D81qztprxo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Her name is Yuzu [柚子].</p> <p><font size="10">:)!</font></p> <p>(My parents insist on calling her Mimi [咪咪] aka Generic Chinese Cat Name #1.)</p>http://untaken.tumblr.com/post/245408694http://untaken.tumblr.com/post/245408694Sun, 15 Nov 2009 20:19:59 -0500<img src="http://19.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kryf4s88CI1qztprxo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Sean Van Vleet of Empires @ Fat Baby - Oct 21, 2009</p>http://untaken.tumblr.com/post/220710162http://untaken.tumblr.com/post/220710162Fri, 23 Oct 2009 02:24:28 -0400<img src="http://5.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kryf2r4z3J1qztprxo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Tom Conrad of Empires @ Fat Baby - Oct 21, 2009</p>http://untaken.tumblr.com/post/220709522http://untaken.tumblr.com/post/220709522Fri, 23 Oct 2009 02:23:00 -0400<img src="http://6.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kqgaymfxAm1qztprxo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://untaken.tumblr.com/post/195398953http://untaken.tumblr.com/post/195398953Wed, 23 Sep 2009 21:03:57 -0400<img src="http://10.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kpqumttX4S1qztprxo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://untaken.tumblr.com/post/184343748http://untaken.tumblr.com/post/184343748Thu, 10 Sep 2009 03:11:17 -0400<img src="http://18.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kpque4uRUQ1qztprxo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>He has very girly sandals.</p>http://untaken.tumblr.com/post/184341194http://untaken.tumblr.com/post/184341194Thu, 10 Sep 2009 03:06:04 -0400<img src="http://5.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kpqu8fR2cD1qztprxo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://untaken.tumblr.com/post/184339398http://untaken.tumblr.com/post/184339398Thu, 10 Sep 2009 03:02:39 -0400<img src="http://21.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kpqu3klCLr1qztprxo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Why are pictures so washed out when I upload them?

Haha.</p> <p>THE ICE CREAM THOUGH! We had the yuzu, honey wasabi, and black sesame.<br/> · Black sesame is what you’d expect, though with more toasted black sesame flavor than I’m used to (a good thing!).<br/> · Yuzu was very light and deliciously fragrant. The little dots of skin/yuzu were really wonderful.<br/> · The honey wasabi was <i>really</i> interesting. Think honey ice cream with little dots of wasabi embedded in it. There’s just enough wasabi to make things kick and be interesting, but not enough to be painful or gross.</p>http://untaken.tumblr.com/post/176095069http://untaken.tumblr.com/post/176095069Mon, 31 Aug 2009 02:24:29 -0400<img src="http://20.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kp89fvvrVV1qztprxo1_500.jpg"/><br/> Cha-An: teapot<br/><br/> <img src="http://23.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kp89fvvrVV1qztprxo2_500.jpg"/><br/> Cha-An: jasmine (pearl) tea<br/><br/> <img src="http://23.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kp89fvvrVV1qztprxo3_500.jpg"/><br/> Cha-An: forzen yogurt sorbet<br/><br/> <img src="http://2.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kp89fvvrVV1qztprxo4_500.jpg"/><br/> Cha-An: mochi<br/><br/> <img src="http://3.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kp89fvvrVV1qztprxo5_500.jpg"/><br/> Cha-An: mochi & sponge cake<br/><br/> <img src="http://15.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kp89fvvrVV1qztprxo6_500.jpg"/><br/> Cha-An: sponge cake<br/><br/> <img src="http://9.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kp89fvvrVV1qztprxo7_500.jpg"/><br/> Cha-An: ... cookie? & pound cake<br/><br/> <img src="http://15.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kp89fvvrVV1qztprxo8_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a href="http://www.chaanteahouse.com/">Cha-An</a> has a 3 course dessert + tea thing on their menu for just $16.

Probably won’t go back again except for the pork buns.</p> <p>· cured hamachi: really damn good<br/> · American wagyu: good but not mindblowing<br/> · grilled baby octopus: FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, THIS IS NOT HOW YOU GRILL ANYTHING. GRILLING: YOU’RE DOING IT WRONG. IT SHOULD NOT TASTE BURNT.<br/> · pork buns: rich but delicious; richness can be cut down with a little sriracha sauce provided<br/> · Thai iced tea parfait: The lemon mascarpone was way too sour+lemony compared to the Thai iced tea flavored part. Almond crunch part was tasty. My recommendation is to double the Thai iced tea part or reduce the lemon mascarpone by 1/3.</p>http://untaken.tumblr.com/post/176087751http://untaken.tumblr.com/post/176087751Mon, 31 Aug 2009 02:11:26 -0400<img src="http://12.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kp88saUxtc1qztprxo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>@NumPang still owns the sandwich part of my little heart.</p>http://untaken.tumblr.com/post/176082696http://untaken.tumblr.com/post/176082696Mon, 31 Aug 2009 02:02:34 -0400<img src="http://19.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kp88qwYQjj1qztprxo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://7.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kp88qwYQjj1qztprxo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>I would live in NYC for the Union Square Greenmarket alone.
