One of my favorite bars happens to be just around the corner from my house. Whether it’s due to location, the fact that it’s a California bar that sells Its-Its (something I haven’t eaten in years) or the fact that I can be found not helping my team in pub quiz, Pacific Standard is a [...]

Pizza pizza pizza

Like most nights, tonight I worked until the point of near-starvation. It was sad because had I recognized where this was heading even half an hour earlier I probably would have found myself with a friend at a nice pizzeria. Instead, I planned on going straight home to eat something I had no patience to [...]

Total brain fart

I was attempting to schedule the DVR to record Dexter when I thought to myself, “Hmm, maybe I can record it on the East Coast channel so it’ll be waiting for me after pub quiz.” I actually scrolled down for a bit in search of it before realizing I was IN the East Coast and [...]

Whoa, October’s over?

An entire month blew by and I’m not even sure what happened. Denny and I moved out of our studio sublet into two bedroom glory – only to run into a bunch of apartment hell. Over a week later, our dirty place was finally painted and “cleaned”, our cable and internet was finally installed and [...]

Gettin’ pickleback drunk AFTER this picture was taken: Some folk like purple drink. My people like ginger drink? I feel like a stereotype when I drink it: Got my sheep slippers for general slipping and just after lamenting not having brought my warmer slippers, Shannon showed up from Holland with these bad boy fuzzy clogs:

The beginning of the end

Fall was good while it lasted. Last week it was 72 degrees before it suddenly became 50 degrees. I left for DC for the weekend, came back to cold, then woke up to 37 degrees. Supposedly it’ll get better before it gets worse, which doesn’t give me much to look forward to. When 37 becomes [...]

Three awesome events
September 19th, 2010 · No Comments · Dork Report
1) After having a frustrating battle with the front door last Friday, Denny had the brilliant idea of pressing in one of the side buttons to lock the knob, thereby enabling me to train back into the city for terrible food and service at Ciao in Greenwhich Village (don’t go there). Unfortunately, he also pressed [...]

Ooh, tornado warning
September 16th, 2010 · No Comments · Dork Report
A severe weather alert tip mentioned lying in a ditch and covering your head if proper tornado shelter can’t be found. Does a subway track work? Thunderstorms are so dramatic but I definitely feel better being indoors though my flip flops will hate me later… UPDATE: Yes, my flip flops did hate me later as [...]

Monkeying around

I’ve been indoor rock climbing since May. After going on and on about it for years, and finally trying it out in LA in 2008, it took another couple of years to convince someone to go with me up here. Kristina got suckered in, and after going once a week after our belay lesson, we [...]
