“L.A. County Fair 2011”

Tuesday, January 31st, 2012
The fair is HUGE with so much to see and do.

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 »

 

“Big Wangs’ Big No-No on America’s Next Great Restaurant”

Tuesday, March 8th, 2011

This past Friday night, I met up with Tim at Big Wangs, a local sports bar and restaurant near us. The place was pretty dead for a Friday and though there were plenty of tables opened, I joined Tim at the bar where he was busy watching the basketball game. We placed an order for ...

“We’re Off to See Conan, the Wonderful Conan O’Brien”

Friday, December 17th, 2010
My Conan ticket and wristband.

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 »

 

“A Witness to the Electric Barbarellas Reality Show Atrocity”

Monday, November 15th, 2010

On Saturday, Tim and I decided to spend the evening out and possibly catch the Pacquiao and Margarito fight.  It was before 7 PM so we rushed off the Loaded, a bar down the street that has a great happy hour.  As soon as we got there, I noticed something was amiss.  There was a ...

“Pho Saigon in Pictures and in My Belly! (Koreatown)”

Thursday, September 16th, 2010
My usual, eye-round steak & tripe pho at Pho Saigon.

Pho Saigon is the name of a Korean-owned Vietnamese-themed restaurant in Koreatown that serves, drum-roll please, pho! They also have a variety of appetizers, rice dishes, stir fries, and cold vermicelli bowls. Because it's within a 2-minute walk from my office, I find myself having lunch here several times a month. I also appreciate the ... See Full Entry »

 

“Spring 2010 Trip to Boston”

Tuesday, May 4th, 2010
Dawn in Boston near where I was staying

We arrived back in Los Angeles late last night after having been in Boston since Friday evening.  Tim's nephew had his First Holy Communion, which I've since learned is a big deal for Catholics. As the godfather, Tim's presence at the event was important so we both flew back for the May 2nd event. After a long but ... See Full Entry »

 

“I got caught on camera!”

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

A few months ago, while walking the dogs, I noticed the Google Maps van making passes through my neighborhood.  At the time, I wondered if we would be caught on camera.  I forgot about it until tonight and I decided to go see if I could find myself.  Check it out!  Heheheeeee View Larger Map See Full Entry »

 

“A Star Trek Halloween”

Sunday, November 1st, 2009
In Picard chair: My offical Star Trek The Exhibit photo

With the Star Trek exhibit in town, I decided to use Halloween as an excuse to dress up for it. (Because, of course, I'm not nerdy enough to dress up for it otherwise. ;-) ) I chose to go as an Orion slave girl, an iconic character among Star Trek fans.  I thought it would ... See Full Entry »

 

“Saturday Afternoon Hike”

Saturday, June 6th, 2009
Guessing that these are chipmunk holes since I saw a couple along the trail earlier.

The following pictures are of the view of the city from the trail.  Los Angeles is so spread out and flat! It was a slightly cool, cloudy day which made it great for the hike.  We only made it half way up the trail though. I am slowly admiting to myself that both Jesse and Penny ... See Full Entry »
