...the poor man's lunch

So...i just got back about a week a go from my vacation. And as a result i am brooooooke.
But if there is one thing that you should know about the chinese, is that everything they produce is CHEAP! Whenever I'm broke...i turn to MY PEEPS in China town...and the wonderful ppl of DELUXE MART.

It's a little bit of a trek but ooooohhhh is it worth it. It's basically a super market but there's this little buffet type thing with ready made food up front. It's $3.50 for a rice box in which you can choose 3 sides to go with it.

Now...common...where in New York City can you get a full meal for 3.50. That's THREE DOLLARS AND FIFTY CENTS!!!!
OH! and that's not it....They give you sooo much food that it's good enough to last you 3 full meals! 2 if you're really hungry. That makes it at most a $1.75 per meal....TAX FREE!

And just to add the cherry on top... these buns are the BOMB...port and vegetable buns (FYI: in chinese it's "choi yuk bao") ... only 70 cents each! Now lets face it... you can't be that...it's the poor man's lunch.
Deluxe Mart is located on Elizabeth between Hester and Grand. If you smell fish...you're close.

...how busy i really am

For some reason these past couple of days at work have been super super slow. I literally haven't done ANYTHING...zero/ zilch/ zip. NOTHING. It seems so stupid to actually have to come to work when all i do is ACT like i'm working. I could be doing so many other more important things with my time like...sleeping. But instead i sit at my desk and try to LOOK busy while i discreetly surf the web to keep myself entertained.

I just open up some random files...normally the most recent stuff i've worked on, have a couple of finder windows and other useful "work" apps open and just scroll through them whenever i think one of the big dogs are behind me, while i stategically place the other more "entertaining" windows in a place where ppl who are looking at my screen from afar can't see.

In this particular case, i have gmail, blogger and facebook hiding behind an InDesign file that i'm "working so hard" on.
So anyway, my buddy jelsen and his lovely fiance b...who has just recently started their blog has inspired me to start my own aswell....so enjoy...the many more to come.
