So after a lovely albeit short break, I’ve decided to undertake a huge (for me) task and write 25 posts that I was supposed to do but never got around to. I’ve felt such guilt as they hung over my head. I took so many pictures of the respective event and even wrote copious notes but no blog post ever came out of it for whatever reason, be it laziness or busyness. But now is my chance to redeem myself…to myself and start off the new year guilt-free. My goal is to write 25 posts and publish one every day, starting tomorrow, til Christmas, but we’ll see how it goes.
POST EDIT (after Christmas): OK, this didn’t work out as well as I had hoped but I’m still gonna try to do these posts, dammit!
go you! yay you!
Hee! Thanks.
i feel the same way. of course, my “supposed to” list goes back to 2006 😉
cant wait to see what you’ve got!
[…] 5 of 25: Sure, first impressions count but if you went into Bar Food in Brentwood last year when it first opened, you probably were confused by its Japanese restaurant remnants paired with the gastropub menu and the Irish owner. And even though it serves up wonderfully unique bar food and has 24 beers on tap, the venue’s Web site with its Comic Sans font would be enough to turn off any curious diner, regardless of what all those glowing Yelp reviews said. I didn’t care though. I felt like I stumbled into a hidden gem. Yay for me and HA-ha to all those folks squeezing into Q’s and Cabo Cantina. […]
[…] 4 of 25: I attended Los Angeles Magazine’s party for Rosa Mexicano in L.A. Live back in September and although the party was m’OK I was pretty excited when they gave us a free membership to their Circles consumer club. Excited not only because I didn’t have to pay the $48 membership fee to join but now I’d be privvy to exclusive Los Angeles Magazine events for discounted prices/free. In any case, I had always meant to do a roundup of L.A. sites that offer deals and such. […]
[…] 3 of 25: Wayyyy back in July I met up with LAisters Farley and Emily at Pagoda Bar, the then-recently renovated outdoor bar at Yamashiro in the Hollywood Hills. We were inspired to do so after discussing the items on my 100 list when we each admitted that we wanted to check it out and follow that up with a visit to Jumbo’s Clown Room. View of the pool. […]
[…] Post 1 of 25: OK so way back in October 26 I was invited to check out the beer cocktails at Essex Public House. Something I was looking forward to trying ever since they were first mentioned on the restaurant’s grand opening press release. I’ve been to Essex a couple of times before and while I had always enjoyed the food — mmm Figs in a Blanket! — I never got a chance to try out the cocktails. […]
