Ouch. Rihanna accuses Ciara of stealing her look.
I know. I know. Impossible. It’s like mistaking a man for a woman.
But still. Ciara needs to stop.

Italian Nook in Los Angeles. Angelini.
[MmMm. Fish. picture courtesy of Steve C.]
I’m officially on the Angelini crack wagon. It hasn’t even been 24 hours and I’m already craving to go back. I’ve been having a FML type of week and Angelini really knows how to satisfy a girl. Luckily I had the honor of coming with Erik (friend/neighbor/hunter/spearfisher) and he always raves about this place and sometimes he...

(500) Days of Summer.
1. You can control who you fall in love with + We make our own soul mates.
It’s simple. Match.com will lie to you and tell you that we have 99 versions of compatilibilty when we all know better. We can create our own soul mates if we try hard enough. You know you have. You find someone you are attracted to. The recipe is clear - Attraction + the X factor. You already like them. But...

Teeth. It's a faux feminist's wet dream.
I hate this movie.
To be fair, its not like there’s a whole lot of potential. It’s basically a journey of a girl that discovers a weapon (teeth) in her vagina and out of selfishness and immaturity she goes and kills people. The main character, Dawn, is the head Jesus freak who vows to wear a promise ring until she’s married. Unfortunately being a teenage girl, she has all these...

(via)
“After the boy, in Yibin City, southwest Sichuan Province, had watched the animated TV series, he began to drink gasoline to become a “valiant fighter” like “Optimus Prime,” his father told the newspaper.
“He began to drink gasoline five years ago, when we found he liked smelling lighter fuel,” he said.”

Now if they can only hurry with H&M.
[LA Times Pic. Don’t ask. I have no idea what’s up with the kids.]
I like all my crap in one place. I grew up in Torrance, home of the white trash plazas, you can eat, buy liquor, get gas, watch a movie, do laundry, get a boost mobile, AND bail someone out all in the same plaza. So as my tastes changed and I started moving on up (kinda) to the westside and midcity, I was pissed off...

Harry Potter 6: Random Thoughts. How will they...
I will add on more as nitpicky and neuro as I am but this has just been bothering me.
How will they kick off movie #7 when they omitted two crucial characters and a significant fight?!
In the ending of book #6 (Half Blood Prince), there is a battle between the death eaters and Dumbledore’s Army. Malfoy had allowed the Death Eaters including Bella and Fenrir the werewolf who has an...

Organic sushi. As if sushi was not healthy enough....
[albacore tuna roll pic from Yummy T. of Yelp]
It’s A-OK for fairly priced sushi. Personally, I’m not a big fan with mid range sushi. If I wanted rolls or cheap/fair priced sushi, I would go to Midori. It’s low in price and great in quality not to mention its 26 bucks for all you can eat (not laid out on trays. it’s strictly made to order). So unless you are going for...

First date jitters? Impress her with Il Chianti.
[Random “il chianti” google image search. Found uber Uni pasta pix from Potatomato - The blog is stellar and written super well! My newest favorite food blog!]
I was terrified to write this update. I realized I wrote the first review when yelp was just picking up and under the impression that not too many would read it. Now that Yelp has grown so rapidly in popularity (I blame you,...

Does good food make up for bad service? Ever?
[Btw. Sorry for the hiatus. I am running out of places to eat.]
I’m torn. Yes. in a ‘my mind is saying no, but my body is saying yes’ kind of way. The burgers here are delicious. A 5 star place since I first started frequenting. Most recently, I decided to indulge in a stacked 1/3 pounder topped with gruyere, corn salsa, a side of guac and grilled onions. Mmmm. Bloody and...

War is a drug.
Kathryn Bigelow’s The Hurt Locker takes a personal spin on your average war story. It’s not your heroic story about soldiers that want to come home but a personal journey of a man that wants to go back. and in the end back again.
War can be the biggest drug. It’s a headrush. It’s exciting. It’s reckless. In many ways, I understand. We’re constantly...

Egg Puffs! Now if only we can find a Macanese...
So recently I learned that Johnny Rocket’s is having their very own street truck. ORLY. You know, because I would love to DRIVE to an elusive truck that already has a storefront that I don’t have to chase down.
America is so fucked up and dumb. Seriously. You know, you’re kinda defeating the purpose of street trucks if you have to DRIVE to it and even worse… wait. The...

Random: I hate pretentious Captain Save a Hos.
You know. I really hate it when a guy is asked a simple question like, “Do you like a cute face or hot body?” and they answer with, “Neither. It’s the personality that counts.”
Oh gag me with a cock.
First of all, it’s an “A or B” question you pussy and secondly, we live in a world where it’s so shallow that it’s supposedly right to be...
