Had coffee and a social media "geekout" with @geekgiant who I met on Twitter. This is the first time I’ve met up with someone from the online world but I’m sure it won’t be the last. Over a soy mocha at Bad Ass Cafe in Ventura, CA, we waxed poetic on old business models and …
Have you ever had a friend that let you down, I mean really let you down, and you later forgave them? Well that’s what happened with Tlaquepaque Restaurant in Santa Paula (click here for pronunciation of "Tlaquepaque," .wav). They let me down big time with some extraordinarily bad service and as result it earned itself …
The stress of life crashed upon us today so B and I scurried off to watch "You Don’t Mess with the Zohan" at the cheapie movies as soon as I clocked off of work, figuratively speaking. We were looking for something funny and mindless and we picked just the right movie. The bill of fare …
Had unhealthy but delicious dinner at In-N-Out this evening. When we decided to go there I knew I couldn’t get anything healthy there so decided to make it even unhealthier by asking for a "3×3." That’s where they stack on 3 patties and 3 slices of cheese. The poor burger could barely fit into the …
Went to B&N today a couple of hours after an early dinner and got hungry again by looking at the bargain food books. Italian food, Thai Food, vegetarian food. See what I mean? I tried to forget the food by looking at books on dogs. One book, "The cutest dogs" (or something like that) had …
I ordered 8 tacos for me and B from La Casita ("the little house" in Spanish) taco shop, a place we’ve been trying out in Santa Paula. After placing the order, the woman at the outside order window (probably the owner) looked up at me with a slight squint and asked, "Is that for here …
B and I ate at Subway today. It’s kind of an unusual set up. They crammed two mini armchairs and a small coffee table by the door. We tried to eat there but then felt like we were in "kinney-garden" so we packed up and moved to their usual table and chair setup. I literally …
Golf fashionista Patricia Hannigan (known to many as "Golf Girl") posted a tweet on Twitter today asking how she can best build a Web site around her blog. She’s in the same boat as a lot of folks with successful blogs who are now asking, "Dude, where’s my Web site?" Many bloggers want the full …
Tonight B and I had what I call "blasphemer delight" which is pork ribs marinated in Kosher wine. I selected the 2006 Baron Herzog Cabernet Sauvingon Jeunesse (See Gary Vaynerchuck’s review on Wine Library TV) because it has a nice fruity taste that makes it ideal for cooking and because it’s a local winery. Religious …
Having trouble stomaching high gas prices? Do I what did before heading out to SummerMash LA yesterday. Eat a taco while you pump gas then you’ll feel like you’re getting gas, dinner, and screwed.
