Fishing with Dynamite nets some awesome seafood! – Manhattan Beach, CA
•
After a hectic day of errands and runs that took me as far as Simi Valley (ugh!), I was able to get home at a decent hour…in fact, I was able to get home in time for happy hour! So, we looked for a new destination in our hood. Fishing…

Lorde “Tennis Court” – Indie pop in kiwi form…welcome from the NZ!
•
She’s got a bangin’ beat, a killer vibe and a quirky, yet still relatable voice. Wait till it gets to the 0:43 mark and the beat really kicks it up. [soundcloud url=”http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/95489889″ width=”100%” height=”166″ iframe=”true” /]

Fantastic neighborhood Italian @ Fritto Misto – Hermosa Beach, CA
•
I love fancy meals as much as the next gourmande but there’s something so warm and satisfying about dining at a neighborhood restaurant…especially when it’s as good as Fritto Misto. Fritto Misto is in Hermosa Beach right on Pier Ave. on the way down to the strip of bars/club along…

Chez Soi [Happy Hour] – Manhattan Beach

The best part of waking up…is coffee in your cup while lying in bed with a sweet roll. Okay, yes, these are the Pillsbury in-a-can variety. But A-for-effort! And let’s not be a food snob. These were delicious. I pledge to actually wake up early and be pleasant…if I am…

Last night was the L.A. premiere for Channeling a lil’ independent film I worked on. It showed at the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood during the Dances with Films festival. We played to a packed house! But pre-show, we had to take advantage of the fact that we were actually outside…

Red Lobster [Shrimp & Lobster Pot Pie!] – Torrance, CA
•
I never watch commercials…but the words “Shrimp & Lobster Pot Pie” caught my internal fat person’s attention (i.e. my true self). Now, at this point, I must preface with the fact that I was born and raised in the midwest. Anyone from a small town will tell you that certain…

Ever seen Asian girls try to twerk?!…
•
…well, you won’t see it here either! Man, we tried. We really did. We watched this video over and over and 3 of us tried. But for the life of us, we cannot do it! I think perhaps we just don’t have enough ass to pop it like she does.…

Coyote Cantina [Happy Hour] – Redondo Beach, CA
•
On a rare Friday, I was able to wrap up my business and finding myself parched from exerting my mind, I wanted to indulge in happy hour! The original plan was to head to Dance Downtown at the Music Center but ever since FastTrak took over the 110 and 10,…
