The Club Life

These days the euphemism is "going dancing," but I remember when the proper terminology was "clubbing." That term is unbelievably cheesy, but then again so is the activity. I have a love-hate relationship with that whole scene. I lovelovelove dancing, and I'm quite fond of donning a short skirt with tall heels and seeing other girls in their respectively scandalous outfits. But, the hollow exclusivity and random mash-up of people in general really puts a damper on things. My slowly creeping disgust is perfectly timed though, as I am turning 29 in a couple of weeks...which is practically 30...and a 30-year old at a club is mildly inappropriate...

Under the dark cover of night.

It's a good thing I'm also quite fond of brunch. Brunch is a very appropriate activity for an almost 30 year-old.

Fish-wich

Some incongruous facts: It's January. It's winter. It's 77 degrees and sunny outside.

It's Los Angeles. Aah, it all makes sense now.

The amazing weather of late prompted us to head out to Malibu for a day, where we stopped by the Eames house, hiked in the hills, then cruised down to Neptune's Net for a much anticipated fish-wich.

weeeeeee-Eames!


Elephant ride by Eames.


Like a mini Spiral Jetty.

L.A.--you are so beautiful and I love you!

Funny Sister

My sister cracks me up sometimes. We love Law & Order, and it's our ritual to watch it together. Today I got a bright idea for a spin-off and emailed her about it (this will only be funny to you too if you actually watch L&O...):

Yes, I'm gonna email NBC. It would be so fun to recognize all the landmarks and establishments they go to. And then you know how sometimes they have to go upstate to the NY suburbs, well they could be like oh, the brother lives in Glendale, let's go question him.

haha!~
