Supporting a Habit: A Treat for Reloading Your Starbucks Card
Flickr shot by ° d i ° I was taking stock of my financial situation last night when I realized that on average I spend about $80 a month on Starbucks. That’s right, about $960 a year on grande caramel macchiatos and pastries. I suppose if I’m going to be good I can force myself…
Urth Caffe in Santa Monica: A Cuppa Cattiness With That Scone?
Flickr Shot on GirlsGuide I remember about six years ago when Urth Caffe on Melrose was just a quaint organic coffeehouse. I would duck in for a nice cup of tea and a brownie after visiting the new age store next door, the Bodhi Tree. Back then there weren’t any tables and chairs clogging up…
Griddle Cafe: Attack of the Monster Pancakes
When you were a kid, did your mom get you to finish every last brussel sprout on your plate by saying something to the effect of, “There are children starving in Africa and you’re going to throw that away?” Well, if you were traumatized and as an adult still feel obligated to finish everything on…
R.I.P. Ambassador: An L.A. Landmark's Wake
Native Angeleno Beth pays her respects. L.A. bloggers united at this party thrown in honor of the fallen landmark, the Ambassador Hotel. I don’t know why, but I didn’t think it would be that packed. But it was an impressive turnout. Everyone was elbow-to-elbow in the Gaylord Building lobby where the wake was thrown and…
Wednesday Is the New Friday at the Wilshire

Posting more pictures, joining groups, creating groups… and I’m not even that great of a photographer. I just love having people comment…

Duke’s Barefoot Bar up in Malibu offers $2.50 fish tacos for their Taco Tuesdays 4pm to close. You can order up…
The Best Yoga Class for Cheap: Santa Monica Power Yoga
Several years ago, a friend turned me on to Santa Monica Power Yoga. “It’s on a donation-only basis and the classes are always crowded. You HAVE to take a class with Bryan. He’s the best.” Mind you, back then I had never done yoga before so everything was new to me. And it was sorta…
Tranquil and Marvelous: Opening Day at the Getty Villa
At the last minute, I was able to score some tickets for the Getty Villa on opening day but was really reluctant to go anticipating opening weekend crowds, parking lot hassles and crowded exhibits. Yet, it was an ahh-fest from the moment we drove up the driveway off PCH to when we left the museum…
