Next time you’re in Harlem, stop by the Harlem Tea Room. It was the perfect place for Sunday afternoon networking. It’s very chill and hip – with great tea and pastries. Here’s a short review from the New York Times.

I met with Eyez and his contact Kaba from Graviti Filmz. He’s currently working on a project with Zab Judah, the boxer. He also as a lot of music industry connections, and this is why I’m lucky to have met with him. Hopefully we can help each other out. I’m excited to see how it plays out.

Hope you had a great weekend.

It’s funny how a pot of refried beans can open up a fault line of memories.

I had been eating peanut butter & honey on tortillas for about a week because I haven’t felt hungry or bored enough to buy groceries for anything more interesting. Until today that is.

I started looking through my cupboards again, and actually saw the pinto beans that had been sitting there since before October. I couldn’t understand why I had ignored these cans of beans when I had been eating pb&h on tortillas for a week.

Wouldn’t you think that I would have made the mental leap to make refried beans and cheese?! I mean Jeff and I used to make them from scratch together all the time…

… and then all these memories started flooding back.

Even an hour later when I was walking to the grocery store, random pictures kept popping into my head. For some reason I had a clear memory of how I used to grab onto his upper arm and how he’d instinctively flex so I could feel his muscle. Such a strange and random memory.

All because of the refritos.
