| restaurant recs near LAX |
[Jan. 7th, 2010|11:18 pm] |
Hi -
I have a friend from college coming to LA for a work conference - I'm going to visit her on the Sunday night of her trip and was hoping for restaurant recommendations near her hotel - the Westin LAX.
Ideally - mid-price point (around $25-ish per meal) and close-ish to the hotel. She had mentioned sushi (she's visiting from NC) - and I was thinking maybe something Cal-Asian or seafood fusion.... but really I don't know the area that well so I'm open to suggestions.
I was thinking of Cafe del Rey if anyone has been there (chowhound had some good things to say about it) - really looking for a place we can get a good meal, a few drinks and have a mini-reunion.
thanks! |

Ah 2010. Apparently it's here. I was in Tampa with boyfriend for that time, when I learned that everyone in the entire state of Florida is engaged. I hung out with all of them and heard all their wedding planning nonsense which was, well, unfamiliar and awkward. Ladies, I am genetically one of you, but have nothing to contribute to these conversations.
Since marriage was the theme of the trip, I realized how I have no "dream wedding" that most girls have genetically geared to concoct since birth. I hate excess attention, big crowds, overly romantic shit, people crying, and still have lots of progress to make for myself before expecting someone else to want to be around me for decades. The concept of marriage forever seems distant to me, even still, but I couldn't help but wonder if I did get married, what I'd do about it. Let me again express how many times the word "wedding," "ring," "engagement," "proposal" and "registry" were uttered within five days?
My 20 minutes of pondering led me to the following ideas that I wouldn't have had the foresight to imagine when planning this at age 10:
• I want the minimal amount of bridesmaids as to minimize bullshit and they will be in flapper dresses.
• I don't want to invite lots of people, and don't want it in a church.
• I want invitations to be serif, typewriter font, not frilly cursive lettering on cream colored invitations.
• I want to wear maryjane style shoes.
• I don't want to encourage dancing.
• I want my registry to be at Best Buy.
• I want the reception to be somewhere cool, like an aquarium or a 1920s hotel ballroom.
• I will find a way to combine wedding cake and red velvet cake.
• Most importantly, and the point that got me actually excited about this day: I will be making the reception playlist. My "special" day will be most rewarding because I determine what a mass group of people will be listening to.
So that's the extent of my hypothetical wedding planning. Damn those Florida girls for putting these thoughts into my susceptible mind. But I know I want the above things. I know who I want. I just don't want it yet which should be no problem on anyone's behalf. That, and I can't be the first of *my* friends to display maturity and effective decision-making skills. Maybe in the meantime I'll just host a kickass '20s themed party with all of my favorite people, DJ'd by me, with red velvet cake. |

| Animal-loving musicians? |
[Jan. 7th, 2010|01:36 pm] |
A good friend of mine is in a band called The Kris Special, and he's starting to work on putting together a benefit show for a local animal rescue. (They're still deciding which one.) Do any of you know of bands/musicians who might be interested in participating?
He already has a couple onboard, but he's hoping to find a more well-known band so that he can get a bigger/nicer venue and accommodate more people - any names, links, or contact information would be great to pass on to him. Thank you!
P.S. The Kris Special is having a free show 1/18 at Spaceland, 9pm. You should come! :) |

| Extra-small men's clothes? |
[Jan. 7th, 2010|11:37 am] |
My boyfriend is about 5'8" with a slender frame, and most "small" size shirts hang off of him and look really baggy.
For reference: An American Apparel small is just about right, though their extra-small works for him as well; however, he prefers dress-shirts to t-shirts (and dressier clothes in general), so that only helps so much. Small size Aeropostale dress shirts are a bit better than most but they're still too big, and they don't carry an extra-small (which would be perfect). I've heard that H&M has extra small men's shirts..?
Additionally, we're both poor as well as kind of clumsy and absentminded; so it doesn't make a lot of sense to spend $50+ on a shirt he may dribble coffee on a couple weeks later. (Maybe if it was dark-colored..?) I thrift store and Target-clearance sale all my clothes but my size is easy to find; we can't find ANYTHING for him at thrift stores, beyond the very occasional gender-neutral-looking lady's jacket, etc.
Any ideas? And thank you! |

| obscure path |
[Jan. 7th, 2010|07:47 am] |
One reason i love astrology is because some days you get input like this: "Your path is temporarily obscured and it's best to bide your time until you receive a clear signal that tells you what to do next."
See? It's not me who's confused and ambivalent. It's the stars. |
