what a friday.

since i will be away on my birthday, the boyfriend took me out to celebrate early. korean bbq. yum. we tried a place both of us had never been to. he made a reservation for 7:30. reservation? it didnt seem necessary when we pulled into the parking lot. but when we walked inside, it was packed. only one open table and it was ours.


i thought their menu was interesting. pictures plus explanations of the side dishes. ive been eating korean bbq forever and i dont even know all those dishes. and it might be the first time ive seen "korean bbq 101" in a menu.


yum yum. i didnt eat much of it because i was too excited for all the other stuff.


steamy jap chae. i love this.




it was a challenge to take good pictures when i was too busy eating and my hands were greasy. overall it was good place. the people were really nice. hostess super friendly. waitress was cool too. we got seated right next to the tv and ncaa bball was on. so that was a huge plus to the bf. awesome bday dinner. followed by cupcakes and ice cream. no pictures of that just a smile on my face. thank you boyfriend. soowan galbi we shall meet again.


it was a great ending to a friday, especially when it started like this. a leaky ceiling in the studio. it was a mess. we had to throw away so much. first day of spring. spring a leak. spring cleaning.

junk not in your trunk.

as i drove to work this morning, i was surprised by a load of stuff in the alley behind the studio. clearly the stuff had just been placed out there. i dont think it would last over night. and by the look of things, i don't think they were meant to be there.

by late afternoon, a woman was in the alley as well. she looked equally surprised her belongings were out there. she sat nearby in her denim shorts and brown boots, stressfully checking her cellphone.


i was too much of a sissy to talk to her. anything can happen in a pico boulevard alley. then again anything can happen in l.a.
