Suede Bar & Lounge 2008-08-10 16:58:27 The Westin Bonaventure Hotel recently opened LA’s newest ultra-chic lounge, Suede. I visited this establishment twice this month and really enjoyed the chic decor, friendly staff and excellent DJ. My only complaint is that Suede Bar was a complete “Sausage Fest”. There were about four males to every female in the room. If you are [...]

Poor Khloe Kardashian… 2008-08-06 16:21:39 I’ve never watched the show Keeping up with the Kardashians, so I was bit surprised to find out that Kim Kardashian has 2 sisters, 2 step sisters and a brother. I found all this out after I saw this picture and thought, “Who’s that girl on the right???” Apparently its Khloe Kardashian… I couldn’t help [...]
Toast Bakery and Cafe 2008-08-05 02:26:11 Los Angeles has two distinctive types of restaurants. There are those restaurants such as Dino’s Burgers that offer delicious food for bargain prices and there are those restaurants such as ToastBakery
and Cafe. The latter type of eating establishment offers more than just food. No, they offer an entire experience that is [...]
IKEA Hacker @ Blogspot 2008-08-03 16:08:04 Who doesn’t shop at IKEA? I have certain aversion towards creating an entirely IKEA showroom in my home, but IKEA has some great deals and beautiful products. Sure, they might not last longer than a few years, but the prices are so affordable that nobody cares! Not many things in Los Angeles are [...] Read more:Hacker
An èple a Day Keeps the Doctor Away 2008-08-02 15:00:46 “What in the world is èple?”, I thought as I walked passed the display of fruits and juices in the Farmer’s Market at The Grove. The employees were clothed in chef-like uniforms and meticulously washing blackberries with gloved hands. I peeked behind the counter and observed as they created a beautiful fruit bowl.

Mario’s Peruvian & Seafood Restaurant 2008-07-31 16:05:22 One hour and twenty minutes! That is how long I waited for a table at Mario
’s Peruvian. However, Mario’s Peruvian was worth every second! In most cases, I would be quite upset for having to wait so long for a simple meal. But the smells coming from the kitchen and crowded dining room let [...]
AMTRAK Pacific Surfliner 2008-08-25 14:20:44 Gas prices are high, but the weather is great! Itching for a weekend getaway? I suggest that you look into taking a trip on Amtrak’s Pacific
Surfliner. The train runs from San Diego to San Luis Obispo and stops along many cities in the Southland. San Diego, San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara are great [...]
John Cho Can Sing 2008-08-18 11:07:48 This past weekend, I went to see John Cho perform with his band Viva La Union. I was a bit skeptical when I heard that John Cho was the lead singer. How good could the stoner from Harold and Kumar be? I had to bite my words. Viva La Union is a [...]
You MUST watch “I.O.U.S.A” 2008-08-15 02:01:38 “I.O.U.S.A. is an incredibly timely documentary that is able to address a serious issue in an accessible and fun way…”
— Jessica Mosby | The WIP
“I.O.U.S.A. is the kind of film that is so timely, so immediate in its concerns, that it should air on network television tonight, rather than go through a lengthy festival [...] Read more:watch
LA Shorts Fest (Aug 15-21) 2008-08-14 02:01:08 LA Shorts
Film Festival is here! I very much liked slogan they used “Fast food for your eyes”! If you aren’t familiar with “Shorts”, allow me to explain. A “short” refers to a short film that ranges from 1 minute to 15 minutes in length (roughly) and showcases actors, directors and writers utilizing [...]
Fat Fish LA 2008-08-13 02:01:30 Fat Fish LA is a Kaiten (conveyor belt) Sushi restaurant with two locations: Korea Town and Westwood. I often frequent the Korea Town Fat Fish to eat lunch. Normally, I’m not a fan of Kaiten Sushi restaurants. Most often, these sushi establishments serve mediocre sushi at best. However, Fat Fish has changed my mind on [...]

Free To Mourn 2008-09-22 02:33:24 On rainy days,
My heart is free to mourn.
And the daily reprieve of grief,
Takes respite in the storm.
For cheery days cause pangs of sadness,
In the hearts of those forlorn.
But darkness liberates my heart,
To empty out its scorn.
First Date Horror Story 2008-11-15 00:54:29 This story was first submitted to the First
Date Story Contest @ DadsHouseBlog.com.
This story takes place in October of 2004. I was an innocent undergrad with a bad case of Fall Fever (kind of like Spring Fever, but worse) and she was a doe-eyed girl wearing white pants and a black thong. I know what [...] Read more:First Date
Dormitory Pranks And Horror Stories 2008-11-12 01:25:50 Without a doubt, the men’s dormitory is the most foul and uncouth building on any educational campus. I spent my sophomore year of high school and freshman year of college in the dorms. During those 2 years, I was exposed to some of the most ridiculous and disgusting incidents of my life. (I was not [...] Read more:Stories
My Ass Looks Great In Lady’s Denim 2008-11-10 09:41:26 They say that you have to walk a mile in someone’s shoes in order to truly understand them and I can say that I’ve walked a mile in woman’s jeans. In 2006, my mother had been diagnosed with Frontotemporal Dementia. I wanted to spend the last year of my mother’s sanity lose by her side, [...] Read more:Denim

Temple on Santa Monica Avenue in Los Angeles, California to protest the passage of Proposition 8. Californians passage of Proposition 8 revoked the right for same sex couples to marry and sparked an uproar from the liberal community. Today, I sat in my office overlooking Santa Monica Avenue [...]
Kawa Day Spa’s Hand Job Special 2008-11-06 01:23:16 I hate massages. I hate every type of massage including Shiatsu, Swedish, Thai and even that weird hot stone shit. For most people a massage is a relaxing experience, but for me it is reliving the most traumatizing sexual abuse a man can endure. I’ve tried to change this violent reaction by enduring a few [...] Read more:Special
Transvestite Republicans For Obama 2008-11-05 02:28:35 Election Day 2008 was nothing like I had anticipated. As a long time McCain fan, I was torn between voting for a candidate I admired and voting against his incompetent running mate. In the end, I found my ink dot falling on number 18, Barack Obama
and Joe Biden. But the day was full of [...] Read more:Republicans
Support Techno, Vote No on California Prop 8 2008-11-04 17:12:51 Voting Yes on California
Prop 8 will kill the techno dance club scene for at least 6 months. The gay community would fall into a pit of depression and hole up in their West Hollywood apartments with a bottle of white wine and a pint of Ben and Jerry’s ice cream. Techno

The Self-Actualization Of A Latent Racist 2008-11-03 02:11:05 Nothing good has ever come of Halloween festivities. Children eat too much candy, adults drink too much alcohol and normally conservative women take it upon themselves to dress like hoe-bags…
…
Wait a minute… that actually sounds like an awesome time. Halloween rocks!
Unfortunately, I did not have a good Halloween experience this year. Normally, I would have [...] Read more:Latent
