Holy Pupusa!!!

October 7, 2011 eating out

I just had to post this, even though the pictures come from my iPhone and are horrible. I am bursting with love for my neighborhood and all the Latino community living in it right now. Not only do I have a fantastic supermarket right across my apartment, I also have a street vendor selling fresh-made [...]

Punched by a Granny

September 7, 2011 eating out

Yes, you read right. I got punched by a granny. A barely 5-foot-tall, hunch-backed Korean granny, no less. I’m sure you all have had those “What the—?!” moments.

La Beauté

June 8, 2011 eating out

Yesterday evening, I watched Les Miserables. (Picture Source) Unfortunately, it wasn’t on real-live stage, but on DVD, played on my 13-inch Macbook. I ordered the 25th Anniversary version of Les Miserables in concert from Netflix. There were mostly just singing into the mike and not much interaction between the singers; it was more choir [...]

Target and The Grove Day

May 21, 2011 eating out

**** I’m at a local Coffee Bean right now to use their internet. Internet service at home should be set up today, but with all the glitches that took place, I’ve still got my fingers crossed. I also just sent off my family at the LAX Airport. I feel like crying. Damn, I am crying. [...]
