Stories at GR2

The opening night for GR2’s “Stories” was tonight.

Yeah, you guessed right, Martin was there.

Chocking Hazard? Well, I don’t think they’re all wrong, I guess you can get chocked from choking.

This is what Sawtelle Blvd is gonna look like in a few years.

Lazy Saturday

I set a goal when I woke up today – do absolutely nothing. But then I realized that’s no fun and I had a bunch of things I had to take care of. 
Since I have custody of an old car, I kind of feel forced to take it out for a ride every other week or so to keep it running. What’s a better day trip than to go to IKEA? 
I was gonna do laundry when I came home, but got a text message saying “come for a swim” soooo… I can do laundry tomorrow, right?

It was Annies birthday this week so we had to celebrate!

Music For a Better Living @ the Hammer Museum

It was the last of the Summer Sessions at the Hammer Museum. I am not a huge fan of the Hammer, buy they have some really good exhibits every now and then, like the Graphic Design exhibit earlier in the year, and the current with the work of architect A. Quincy Jones, so maybe I should give it some more cred.

Bucato

Another birthday dinner. This time at the just open Bucato in the Helms district in Culver City.
It was opening night and the food was good, but I think the chef definitely have some glitches to work out. It’ll be interesting to go back in a couple of months to see if they have it worked out. We had an awesome basil ice cream for dessert and it inspired me to go home and make ice cream, time to put the ice cream bowl back in the freezer!

You Eat Ants?

It’s Winnies birthday tomorrow so we went to Typhoon by the Santa Monica Airport to eat some bugs!

Crickets anyone?

I tasted the ants, took a pass on the worms though.

You gonna eat that?

Excuse me sir, there’s a bug in my food!

I  made her a cake, bug free!

Rooftop Movie Screening

My friends are moving from their tiny studio apartment with the awesome rooftop. I don’t think the tiny apartment will be missed, but the rooftop will… We had a last movie screening to say good bye. Watched Big Lebowski, with the robes on and all!

Such an awesome movie!

Breakfast

Sunday breakfast was not included on the “confirmed menu” for the weekend, so we stopped by a Danish cafe in Santa Barbara on the way home. Who cares about egg and bacon when you can get a Sarah Bernhardt and a Budapest?

Camping Day 2

Woke up bright and early to a serious camping breakfast!

We chilled for a little bit after breakfast but drove over to Lake Cachuma to paddle kayak soon after.

After almost two hours of paddling, we were totally worth a picnic lunch!

Stupid bird had it’s eyes on our food!

Camping is not o much about camping, it’s more about eating!
