I ain’t eatin without a Michelin, uh – Lupe Fiasco

I am a hardcore Naruto fan – the anime is great – but I do not want to talk about that right now. What I want to talk about is how Naruto used to chow down on that ichiraku ramen (I’m sure those days are long gone as he is now married ?). I didn’t understand it, the Maruchan ramen is good, but not that good. Prior to eating at Okiboru, I’d never had ramen made by a professional chef. Truly it is a treat for the tastebuds. The ramen costs no more than $16.00 a bowl. Such a nice treat. They even have mochi ice cream desserts.

The ambiance is beautiful, the food is delicious, and the service is truly great. Just so you know I’m also a fan of their rice bowls.

The Buckhead ATL, Ga location is rarely packed. You can sit and enjoy for a while. Oh and did I mention that this chain of restaurants has received a Michelin star? ?

Check them out in the Atlanta Georgia area, NYC and LA.

You will not be disappointed. I thought that it was a great experience for my first time trying true Japanese ramen. ? share what you think about this spot if you’ve been.

Paint Shop Pro is Gone, Gone, Gone

Thank you for all the entries.

I didn’t get any.

The lucky winner is Lupe Fiasco – I’ve been sending this man items that remind me of his songs. 🙂 I will include this in his latest package.

Thank you. Sorry I haven’t been updating. I’ve been really busy. I do plan to have some posts on hair soon and I’ll probably share some updates on my threads, I just posted something we made up today – I called it a Kimchi Scramble.

Pro tip, unless you like warm Kimchi, add it at the end. On top with the goat cheese. Yes!

Btw, Lifeline brought Flow back. 🙁 I love this little beautiful kitty but I don’t think that my cats can tolerate another one indoors, I’m trying to get my sister to adopt Flow and King Louis Vuitton. I need to try to get King Louis to Lifeline for a neuter. It has been hard to do without a car. The older cat that keeps dropping by chases him away but I love his tenacity – I’m clearly someone he loves and trusts.

Pharrell x Clipse – Let God Sort Em Out

I’m really into music and art. I lovvveee hearing from the artists about how they crafted their work and the kinds of things they haven taken into consideration as they have created a project.

Take some time to listen to Pharrell (music producer extraordinaire) and his artists, the Clipse. they are discussing their new work, Let God Sort Em Out. I feel like this rap style is more along the lines of gangsta rap, which isn’t really my favorite, but I do still think that the music is interesting and good. What do you think.

Btw, why does Pharrell’s skin always look so soft? I tried his skincare brand and my skin looked nothing like that. ? IRL filter.

Ghibli Mon

I haven’t been able to post about Ghibli Fest as of yet, I’m not sure that I’m a real fan of this particular studios work, however, I did recently see something really cool on TikTok. A Ghibli mashup art style with Pokemon. What a cool idea – I’m really into animation styles, so this got my attention. I’m unable to share the videos (can’t embed TikTok) but I think that their page is worth a follow. See below imagery, all rights/credits to ghiblimon.studio on TikTok.

Btw, it is national video game day. What are you playing? Me? Pokemon of course. Legends Arceus to be more exact.

Friday Listen – Lupe Fiasco Catalog Dive

To pay homage to one of my fave rappers, I’m sharing a somewhat random song from his catalog. Enjoy “Dots & Lines ”.

Happy Friday.

Why not give it a listen on new apple headphones? I was trying to wait until they released a new version (these have already been out for 5 years, however, they recently updated them in September of 2024). But I got some for a good deal – once I test them out, I’ll write a review. Here is an affiliate link coming at ya, click here: the starlight color caught my eye.
