Actually I have been trying to figure out how to replicate all the media I used to subscribe to. So please help! So far I've got LAist, Defamer and Eater LA -- basically sites with NY progenitors.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Try LA Observed: [link] and Eating LA: [link] off the top of my head. My blogroll is very disorganised, so I'll sift through it for the LA stuff tomorrow.
Happy belated birthday, Sail!
And ouch, ita.
Oh, and also:
a highschool friend has tagged me in a picture on facebook
I know high school, army and other friends posted a lot of pictures with me in them and my name next to it in Facebook.
I'm just ignoring that info.
An entertaining article from the Economist. Apparently the Bush Presidency has had some problems. Who knew? [link]
An entertaining article from the Economist. Apparently the Bush Presidency has had some problems.
Of course, that didn't prevent the Economist from being one of Bush's most enthusiastic apologists during most of his presidency. Wankers.
Happy belated, Sail!
HIMYM was totally my life right now.
Poor dislocated bon bon.
Which one? The Book of Tiki?
Actually, no. ::marks to go back and look at later::
I have Tiki Modern and Tiki Road Trip, because yes, there is a road trip involved. Hopefully along with the Road Trip USA book and the 1964 Texaco Road Atlas I got off eBay, I'll be able to recreate a fairly decent cross-country journey.
Let me know if you need any detailed background information. (or music - I've got tons) My column was titled Tiki Noir and I tracked down tiki bar scenes in old vintage hardboiled fiction from the fifties and sixties.
Excellent! And thank you! I may well hit you up on that offer.
Have you seen the movie I Am Cuba? I presume so - but if not, it's got an amazing scene in a Tiki-ish nightclub in Havana.
Actually, I haven't-- given its provenance as a propaganda documentary, it didn't seem to suit my purposes for the research, but I've heard it's an amazing piece of film, regardless. The one I saw that was absolutely beautiful was The Lost City.
Steve Edwards is not an adequate substitute!
AWWW!!! Steve Edwards!!
wonder what a LA1 would look like. probably way too much pretty.
the other day I was in Bed Bath & Beyond, and was THE ONLY CUSTOMER IN THE STORE.
so wrong. although there is a very isolated BB&B closeish to me and I have been in there early on a Sat with only a handful of people.
