I don’t make it over to Silver Lake / Echo Park much anymore – it lost some of its allure once it got too trendy to find parking. But I’ve had it in mind lately to make a field trip to the new Lot 1 restaurant ever since I got a rave recommendation [...]

The dog days are upon us…

I’ve been away from my blog for a bit – as those of you, my silent readers who never comment – must have noticed. It’s been a challenging 10 days. The temperature has been in the triple digits since last weekend, and the humidity is relentless. The skies are brown from smog and [...]
It’s the Fourth of July
Posted in Fourth of July, Life, Los Angeles, Martin Amis, POST, Paul Simon, Personal on July 5, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
It’s Fourth of July and anyone in Los Angeles heading to see fireworks had better already be there. I can hear the first crackles and pops from Universal Studio’s display, and if I try, I could maybe see some twinkling star fire above my neighbors’ tree tops. But I’m not of a mind to angle [...]
Wildfires

The Angora Fire in Tahoe jumped the fireline this evening, 3 days in and just when firefighters thought they’d seen the worst. Until last year, I always thought of Tahoe as some hideous frat boy puke fest tourist trap, and there are aspects of South Tahoe (like Harrah’s) that seem like a throw back to [...]
Gotta love San Francisco…

Where else can you get slow, organic, artisanal ice cream with Rechutti fleur de sel chunks for just $8 a pint?
I was there to see the Vivienne Westwood exhibit at the DeYoung Museum before it came down,and to celebrate my friend Bruce’s birthday. I stayed at the Mosser downtown, did a bit of shopping, got [...]
Still horse crazy after all these years…
Posted in Horses, POST, Personal on April 29, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Now that Matt Lauer has moved onto his infomercial for the travel industry, I can turn to a different, and personally more satisfying obsession: HORSES!
Last night, I saw a PBS documentary on Proud Spirit, a horse sanctuary in Arkansas. I realized just how horse crazy I still am.
It all began when I read Black Beauty. [...]
Who in the #@%!! is Matt Lauer?

I wasn’t going to weigh in on the recent tragedy at Virginia Tech, but after 3 days of watching NBC’s Today Show host Matt Lauer’s petulant, reactionary coverage, I just have to join the fray.
Take this exchange on Tuesday between Lauer and Omar Samaha, whose sister Reema had been murdered:
Lauer: is there anything [...]

Rock and roll, baby girl. You can do it. It’s all in your head.” …so said a street drifter in Beverly Hills as I was hurrying blindly towards my car. Silly as it may seem, those words did cheer me up, and they made me aware of just how much I was in my [...]
Lousy day for an egghunt

It’s a dreary Easter here in Los Angeles, chilly and overcast. I, however am enjoying the fact that my first post is arriving on a favorite holiday that I love for a lot of things not having to do with the bible stories about the bloody crucifiction . When I was younger it was all [...]
