Online Dating in L.A.?
My single friends always complain about how hard it is to meet nice people in L.A. and after my own trials and tribs in the dating scene I am apt to agree. Sure, it’s a big city and there are millions of singles out there but you can never really meet anyone relationship-worthy in bars…
Fun Gift for Him: Scrolling LED Buckle
Just saw this on Urban Outfitters’ Web site and thought it would be a cool gift idea. You’d be a hit at the holiday parties with this scrolling LED buckle, it’s a crack up. And boys, it’s a good way to get girls to come closer. Heh. Urban Outfitters is selling this buckle only online…
Road Rage! Aarrgghh!
Frustrated that someone cut you off and you couldn’t catch up with them to give ’em the bird? Pissed off that yet another cell-phone-talking SUV driver nearly hit you? Angry that it took you an hour to get from Bundy to Sawtelle? Michael put in a nifty “Road Rage” comment box on the right side…
Update Re: The Urbs' Blogging Awards
Thanks to fellow nominees 1947project and 8763 Wonderland for bringing this to my attention: Turns out there’s a flaw in the voting system so now I think I’ll take this contest with a grain of salt. Ah well, I know in my heart that I have the “Best Los Angeles Blog.” 😉 But thanks to…
Soundtrack for L.A. Living: Waiting at LAX
What: “Let Down” by Radiohead Who: Passengers-to-be or those already in the air. When: After you’ve already checked in and are sitting there with your boarding pass.

Places I Will Never Show My Face in Again: Damiano Mr. Pizza
Waiting to be ignored. Now it’s not because of an embarrassing moment or terrible food. On the contrary, the pizza was pretty good in its sinful and crispy way. Nope, this place sucked on many other levels: 1) The lights were off so it looked like the restaurant was closed. Fortunately we went during the…

Another L.A. Moment: Mani/Pedis and Reality Stars
I was getting my nails done at my fave nail place, Main Attraction, when I noticed this cute Asian girl wearing a newsboy hat with her long, straight black hair falling out of it. She was a tiny thing in little boy jeans. Since she got to the nail drying station the same time I…
Soundtrack for L.A. Living: Getting It On
What: “Whole Lotta Love” by Led Zeppelin Who: Two very randy consenting adults. When: After a night of drinking when you’re feeling all revved up. Where: Since it grossed out my brother when I specifically named places around L.A., I’ll just say, “Anywhere–bedroom, dark alley, backseat of a ’69 Chevy Chevelle SS.” Why: That guitar…
