Turning Japanese.

Our big treat this month was heading up to London to visit our friends Tom and Matt. I figured I had to share some pictures with you of our visit to Japanese restaurant, Inamo St James. A unique concept in 'interactive shared dining', it really is like dinner in the future, I felt so hi-tech.

We went on suggestion of a couple of people and found out it was somewhere Tom and Matt had always wanted to go too. I invited along my London-oldest-friend, Lucy and she brought her friend Lucy to make up a great gang of six, it was so nice to catch up.


Fancy beer.


Would definitely recommend their house white, Tom and I were a little anxious that we'd get something vinegary for being 'price-conscious' but it went down pretty easily.


Playing around with the design of the table was the best, almost as good as sinking Moon's battleship.



The best way to view a menu.



Enjoying the 'ambiance'. ♥


I shelled out on their passionfruit martini, definitely something I'm gonna try at home - so good!



The food was ah-may-zing, I'd particularly recommend the black cod, the interactive order system sure does make it easy to spend a ton of money though. If we go again I'd definitely eat a little smarter with one large dish and some rice rather than trying to taste everything.

I was surprised to find that Inamo has ignited a total obsession with edamame beans that I never thought would happen. Such a great snack, I've had them with my lunch two days in a row since(!)

Mark Ronson, The Creators Project.

Here is Mark Ronson talking about himself and his work as part of The Creators Project, a collaboration between Vice and Intel. It looks at creativity and culture across the media and how technology is changing things. This is pretty interesting, even if you're not a fan of Mark Ronson and believe in the myth that he ruins people in the same way Kate Moss does.

Neat.

Finally have the cable to connect my laptop onto the shiny 50" TV :)
But it also means I can hook it up to any nice LCD tv. It looks nice too. Hasn't got sound, but that cable's in the post. ♥


I have got all my Christmas shopping done for everyone - apart from my sister, but that's easy. I did it all at once, my arms hurt so much. Here are the cute cards I bought to give to everyone, puns are great.


I got my haircut today - the way the hairdresser did it was pointless, I will never do my hair like this ever, plus it hurt a little as she was doing it.


Feeling quite excited for Christmas and have 600 words (all of which is awesome) of my essay done. Just need to sort through photos for my book and then it's done. I'm so sad that there's no snow in New Malden - but then again I've been waiting so long for sun and that's what I've got - I'm going down to Dorking later, where apparently there's still loads of snow, can't wait to build a snowman, hope it's still there.
I hurt my foot this morning - apparently I haven't actually felt physical pain in a while, it hurt so much. I slipped down the stairs and my suitcase fell on it. Quite spectacular.

I'M REPTAR!!

I am currently obsessed with Walking with Dinosaurs, which, whilst involving buying The Sun, is brilliant. It's 10 years old and still impresses, which makes me horrifically angry about the epic fail that is Mega Shark VS Giant Octopus - I realise there could be a large difference in budget, but for film and a television series you wouldn't expect it to be that great and considering all the advances since 1999, you'd think an effort could have been made with MSVGO - but clearly not, I'm hating thrillers and horrors at the moment anyway though.


Here, have a photograph of some tasty breakfast.


I went down Albert Road today, it is really not very good, hopefully when the weather picks up I will take some more photographs, it's so gloomy, I'm not in the mood.

I'm trying to draw more... but I forgot my sketchbook for the near three hour long journey to East Grinstead for Moon's Fender interview yesterday.
Managed to get halfway through Rules of Attraction though, it's so good, I can't wait to start American Psycho.
I hope my tan stops fading. ☹
