I am eating a chopped salad with bacon and avocado. Mm.

I was just thinking I hadn't been to Trader Vic's yet, and that I had to remind my travel buddy about our plans to go there.

Better hurry, they're going to demolish it to make way for some luxury residences.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

No! When? Isn't it sort of a landmark?

The link I have is here [link]

there's a link there to an LA Business Journal article that may have more information, but I don't have a login.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Here's an LATimes article: [link]

Shaved kitties

Dear lord, that's disturbing. The tabby looks like it's been forced into a too-small, pink onesie with the booties cut off. Which would probably elicit the same facial expression, come to think of it.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

LA, like SF, is on the cutting edge of the cocktail revival movement. And they're all about fresh ingredients. So they sneer at Rose's the way Chez Panisse sneers at Spam. They don't do pre-processed or commercial syrups. It'd be like making the bloody mary from a canned mix.

Rose's to lime syrup is not SPAM to meat for fuck's sake. Bars can charge for upscale or homemade syrups; just because it's harder to justify $11 for Rose's & vodka does not mean that the separate syrup is actually better.

Thanks, Vortex. I'll move it to the top of our list.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I don't shop at Old Navy, because their commercials drive me nuts. Okay, also because I shop at thrift stores. But still. Anyway, I think overall sizing is out of control and has no meaning, which is why I switched to men's pants. It's still inconsistent there, but not as badly.

I had hot Portuguese sausage, eggs and rice for brunch. The SO had them plain, I had them with shoyu & ketchup. Yum.

Now I have to get going, 'cause it turns out I can't spend the day in pj's. We have to go to the bank to deposit our check, so tomorrow we can go to the bank and get our cashiers check, so Thursday we can close on our land. Gulp!
