AOC

May 30th, 2006

8022 W 3rd St, Los Angeles, 90048
(323) 653-6359
An incredible restaurant with a huge wine and cheese selection, and tasty tapas. Make absolutely sure you get the bacon-wrapped dates as an appetizer, and don’t be afraid to ask the wait staff for recommendations.

Wood Ranch BBQ & Grill

May 29th, 2006

189 The Grove Dr #Y80 Los Angeles, CA 90036
(323) 937-6800
This is a good place to go for large steaks, awesome sides, and good beer. Watch out, though, because it’s busy on the weekends.

Annapurna Cuisine

May 29th, 2006

10200 Venice Blvd, Culver City, 90232
(310) 204-5500
Good vegetarian Indian food at good prices. Their chana masala (garbanzo beans in sauce) is great, as is their vegetable korma, both of which come with bread, not rice — although you can get rice, too. Nice, friendly people run and own the place, which is a nice touch.

Car Repairs

May 27th, 2006

I need to be more proactive about car care, and so I decided to take my Jeep in for a tune-up this morning. Luckily my engine was pretty clean, and there are only a few minor repairs/replacements to make (e.g. spark plugs, transmission, etc.). I figure a few hundred dollars spent now is better than […]

Madonna!

May 24th, 2006

For “only” $100 each, we had an opportunity to see Madonna’s “Confessions” concert in Inglewood. I am not a huge Madonna fan, but I couldn’t turn this down. I wanted to fit in, but unfortunately I didn’t have any Madonna clothes to wear.
It was an awesome show that was lively, filled with lighting effects, and […]
