New Chairs

I was gonna get the chairs my Great Grandfather made, but when I found out they were gonna charge me $2000 for shipping, I went ahead and bought a couple of knock off Eames Chairs instead. They were waiting for me in a box when I came home today, so stoked, they look awesome!

CicLAvia Heart of LA

The previous CicLAvia on Wilshire Blvd was so much fun, and I like to support these types of events, so even though I was tired from yesterdays surf session and late night shenanigans, I was up bright and early (eh, 8am…) to get ready for new adventures.

CicLAvia was closing down parts of Downtown today, we packed in our bicycles on the metro and took off.

Basil Buddy

I thought I had some ugly bugs eating up my basil, but then this morning I saw this fella munching away. He was in heaven!

Lobster Fest

San Pedro Lobster Fest is apparently the largest Lobster Festival in the world according to the Guinness Book of World Records. I read somewhere that they had a dog parade where they dress their dogs in lobster costumes, but I did not see any lobster dogs. I did get to ride in an American school bus for the very first time though! 

The lobsters were awesome!

Scorpions

Should we go for sushi or Thai food? I don’t know, let’s go to Thypoon and eat scorpions.

Shoe Shopping

There were three ways I could spend my Thursday evening; stay in and do laundry, go out and drink beers or go shop for shoes. I went shoe shopping.

Ouch!

This is what happens when I’m trying to be all cool and not pay attention to the road when I skate home from work.

Plants Update

Turns out my plants really love my balcony, and I really love my plants! I caught myself just staring at them while I brushed my teeth the other morning, that might have something to do that it was in fact an early morning, but anyway…
I went to Big Lots today and picked up these boxes for my plants, only two of them came with hangers, but I think I came up with a good solution.
Mama Aloe has gotten a bunch of baby Aloes, but the chives are almost dead. I thought chives was one of those herbs that survive anything!

The ginger is going nuts! I gave it a box for itself in case it want to make some babies.

Carwash

Oil change done, turn signal fixed and the car is clean, it’s as good as new!

Copenhagen

Woke up early to drop off the car in the shop to get the oil change and the turn signals fixed.
Such a bummer the shop is right by Copenhagen Pastry… Danish for breakfast!
