My (first) wedding was in Costa Rica in December. I arranged everything when it came to where everyone was staying, meals, drinks, activities, the wedding itself, for one week for 20 people. (If you’ve ever done something comparable, you know how difficult it is.) All people essentially had to do was buy a plane ticket [...]

After the studio, I met up with my friend, Eyoko, who was the fantastic stylist for my video, Obvious.
We grabbed a bite at Bite, which is a cute little sandwich/salad spot on 14th Street—and low-key like we wanted. Eyoko brought me a rose (awww) and we caught up on our crazy lives. Aside from working [...]

No day of rest for me. When you’re trying to finish a record, there’s no such thing as a weekend off. But that’s ok. I’m happy to be in here singing, although I’m having a hell of a time trying to nail this one vocal. Ugh. It’s just not working and it’s so frustrating!
Anyway, it’s [...]

On a recent jaunt around the Marais, I stumbled upon an oasis of New York familiarity—Pinkberry! Pinkberry, of the sour frozen (non) yogurt, invented by some Korean chick in LA, and favored by that arbiter of taste, Paris Hilton. Upon closer inspection, however, I saw that it wasn’t a Pinkberry, but a Myberry. Clearly, a [...]

Due to my most recent obsession, 24, I’ve been up til 3 am every night this week finishing up the 3rd season on DVD. (I know I’m waaay behind on becoming a fan, but I’m just not a TV person.) Anyway, not sleeping til 3 am means I don’t get up til 11 and then [...]

January 6th is my older sis’ birthday as well as Three Kings Day, aka the Epiphany, or the last day of the Christmas season (you know, the 12th day of Christmas like the song.) The French have a particular tradition for today, the eating of the galette des rois. It’s an almond puff pastry [...]

Being Korean, I can’t go too long without some sort of Asian food fix; ideally Korean, but Thai, Japanese, Chinese, Indonesian and even Indian will do. Now France, which is roughly twice the size of Colorado, doesn’t exactly boast a booming Asian population, so finding decent Asian food can be a challenge.
Japan Town (or Street, [...]

Now that I’m Parisian (ha), I’ve starting eating things like the French do. Oysters. Cheese. Foie gras. Blood sausage (ick). And this from someone who used to be RAW and VEGAN!
For New Year’s Eve dinner, Dman took over cooking duties. He is, in fact, quite the kitchen hog and rarely lets me cook anything. I’m [...]
