[Shameless Plugs] That’s What Friends and Family are For

If you stumble on my blog and can only read ONE entry, then read this one. Since my friends and family have put up with me for 0-30+years, I owe them big. So, here I am  plugging their businesses. And away I go! 1. The Grill (San Diego — Sorrento Valley): Open for lunch M-F. Daily specials […]

That's dopey me telling Frank how I've had a crush on him. *Blush*

[Getting an Earful] Podcasts Rule Because Radio is Dead

What is a podcast? It’s many things, but to me, it’s this: Bullshit-free entertainment. Let’s face it: Modern music is not music. It’s man-made, like the types of shoes I don’t buy. I’ve listened to talk radio for as long as I can remember. Why do I like it? Yeah, probably to escape loneliness, but also to […]

[Get Your PCM On] C’Mon!

PCM — acronym for Pizza, Chicken and Mojos (slices of potatoes, breaded, seasoned and fried) only available at Shakey’s. This is my second trip to Shakey’s in the last month or so. Prior to that, I hadn’t been there since 1993. It was the year I went to the motherland, ate at Shakey’s, and got […]

[Yum Yum] Go Ahead, Marmalade My Day

[EDIT] Marmalade Cafe has left The District in Tustin. It’s gone the way of so many other stores and restaurants there. ***** We started our day at the Marmalade Cafe in Tustin, CA (in The District, across from where the Borders used to be). It had a “Coccoonish” feel, but sitting among the blue-haired folks didn’t bother […]

[Fancy Feet] Stepping Up, Stepping Out

My three favorite letters when it comes to fashion and dress are DSW, which is the acronym for Designer Shoe Warehouse. Thanks to DSW, it stands for Damn Shoe Whore once you see how many pairs of shoes I have (most of which were purchased from DSW). DSW is definitely a shoe lover’s paradise. They have such a wide […]

[East Meets West] Finding Kawaii in So Cal

Need another place to buy Japanese-themed gifts, attire, and more? If you’re in the Los Angeles area, look no further than Japan LA. If you’re not in Los Angeles, don’t fret! They also have an online store! JapanLA’s most recent claim to fame is that Angelina Jolie earlier this year took her a few of her […]

[Raising the Bar] The Draft

I attended an event on Tuesday at The Draft Bar and Grill in Studio City, CA. I’ve only been to a couple of bars in my life, but this one definitely made an impression. First, the service was great. I don’t know, sometimes I just expect bad service because after downing a few, you’d think they wouldn’t […]

[You Wanna Pizza Me?] Great Pie in the Pacific Northwest

While on vacation, there are plenty of food choices. But there’s only one type of food I’m always up for: pizza! We’ve gone to two places in two different states. Both are can’t miss places while traveling in the Pacific Northwest! Seattle, WA We asked some locals where the best place to get pizza is […]
