OK, let me preface this by saying this isn’t Vegas’ fault, the fact that I’m currently taking part in what is probably the worst bachelorette-party-in-Vegas experience ever. But it certainly hasn’t endeared Sin City to me either. First off, I hate bachelorette parties. Drunk girls screaming out the sunroofs of limos, drunk girls pawing strippers,…

Dial "C" for Crazy: ThinkGeek Bluetooth Retro Handset
I saw this and now I want one…so badly: the ThinkGeek Bluetooth Retro Handset ($39.99). My friend/co-worker Julie ordered hers off ThinkGeek.com and brought it over to my desk to show it off. I called her on her cell and she answered through the handset; this ridiculously huge old-fashioned handset. At first I laughed at…
Places I'll Never Show My Face in Again: Yakitoriya
I mentioned Yakitoriya briefly yesterday, but for the record I am so not going back there. Quickest assessment ever, I was only in there for 5 minutes but that was enough. Again, this was when Julie and I were starving and looking for a cheap place on Sawtelle to grab some dinner…before the glorious Orris…
Places I'll Never Show My Face in Again: L.A. Bite
Flickr Shot by Splorp I was spending an evening hanging out with my bro and his bf when we got a hankering for some shishkabobs. They decided to order online through L.A. Bite, a delivery service that picks up from restaurants that don’t deliver themselves. Sounds cool, right? Especially if there’s an eatery out in…
Last-Minute Halloween Costume Brainstorm
Flickr Shot by Base10 On a personal note, I got invited to a Halloween costume party this weekend where the theme is simply “Good & Evil.” Sounds easy enough, right? Nope! At this particular party, the usual angel and devil aren’t good enough. Scouring all the online costume shops like buycostume.com and halloweenmart.com, nothing grabbed…

Skip Barber Driving School: I Can't Drive 55
Ever want to spin a car out without crashing into other cars or drift a 500-horsepower Dodge Viper or even just drive really fast without fear of the po-po? Then I highly recommend going to one-day combo driving school at Skip Barber in Laguna Seca. This year was my third time going and every year…
Off to School, Back Thursday
So I’m off to driving school in Laguna Seca Monday through Wednesday, meaning that since I still haven’t bought myself a laptop (I know, I’m a sorry excuse for a blogger) that I can’t do any posts from the road. Unless, of course, I can steal one from one of my co-workers. We’ll see. There…
Montage Resort: Classy Joint for a Panty Raid
This weekend was my friend Marilyn’s wedding. She had it at the Ritz Carlton in Laguna Niguel. Now, I know she’s not going to kill me for telling this story since everyone from the Ritz’s hairdressers to the valet has heard it from her and her maid of honor but…. On Saturday, at 9pm the…
Home, James: Him, You Can Drunk Dial
Contrary to popular belief, I’m actually not a big drinker. Since two cocktails is usually my limit, I inevitably end up being the designated driver for my friends. But ever since I heard about Home James, I’m gonna say, “Screw you guys, I’m gettin’ drunk!” Just kidding, no I’m not, but it’s nice to know…
