This past September, Tim and I finally went to the L.A. County Fair, and now 4 months later, I've finally gotten around to getting the photos up. I loved every second of it.  We arrived early just because we'd figure it would give us time to do everything.  Little did we know that early arrival was ... See Full Entry »

I was on the bus Tuesday when I suddenly noticed that the sky was on fire.  It was quite possibly the most vibrant sunset I've ever seen.  With A Dance with Dragons fresh on my mind, I immediately thought "dragonfire."

If you're looking for something to do for New Year's in L.A., keep in mind that many places, even those that ... See Full Entry »

A few weeks ago, Team Coco announced on Facebook that tickets were available. I signed up for a pair and today Tim and I went to the December 16th taping of "Conan" at Warner Brothers Studios. The confirmation they emailed me said that the check-in deadline was 2:30 PM and that we should arrive between 1:30 ... See Full Entry »

Around this time each year, I get a few emails in response to my post about public transportation in Los Angeles.  Many are wondering how they can get from point A to B for New Year's Eve via the subway or the bus.  As always, I direct them to Metro's handy dandy trip planner available ...

This past Sunday was the 25th annual Los Angeles Marathon and also the debut of a new route dubbed "From the Stadium to the Sea."  Runners raced from Dodgers Stadium through downtown Los Angeles all the way to the beach at Santa Monica Pier.  Organizers hoped to give participants a more interesting route that covered ...
