ME WANT FOOD. This past Sunday, the Lametourage (a.k.a. me, J-Unit, Jash, IndianJones, and our out-of-town friend Dan) all hit up local Chinese restaurant Genghis Cohen, and while yes, Jash and I had a very disagreeable incident there on Christmas of last year, the truth is that GengCo is too damn good to be ignored. …

Only In Weho…
How can you tell you’re in West Hollywood? Well, for starters, the yard sales are all FABULOUS and the license plates are, well, gay. Literally. Above, a sign my friends and I encountered on the street. After the jump, a license plate you really can’t argue with…
My Trip to the 'Big Brother' Live Show
Last night, a Big Brother dream nearly came true. I came thiiiiis close to meeting the Chenbot. How? Well, I went to the Big Brother live eviction show, and needless to say, it was amazing. Not only was it super fun, but it was incredibly fascinating too. I can’t describe how surreal it was to …
LEAVE MY iMAC ALONE!!!
This past Saturday, I had to make my first ever visit to Apple’s Genius Bar (a.k.a. help desk) as my poor little iMac seemed to have come down with the vapors. While I waited for my name to come up in the queue, I couldn’t help but notice a strange young man standing nearby, aimlessly …
The 'Pineapple Express' Billboard is Smokin'!
The Sunset Strip gets a lot of unique billboards, the most recent being this one advertising the upcoming Judd Apatow posse movie, Pineapple Express. As you can tell from my camera phone pic, the pineapple actually emits smoke. Kind of cool. Unfortunately, just as I snapped the photo, a gust of wind blew the smoke …

Blogging Is No Day At The Beach  Except When It Is
The best part about being a full-time writer is that I get to make my own schedule (most of the time); so when my old friend IndianJones proposed going to the beach on his day off from work, I was more than happy to accept the offer  even if it meant abandoning my bedroom/office …

24 Hour Fitness Tries to Screw Me Over, Ranting Ensues
I have been a loyal member of 24 Hour Fitness for years and years, going all the way back to the heady days of 2002 when I joined the gym’s flagship facility in Hollywood just days after opening. I’ve never really had a problem with the place (unlike with the dreadful con-artists at Bally’s Total …

SPOTTED: Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush Kissing At The Gym
Seeing one celebrity at the gym is always cause for minor celebration. Seeing two is even better. And seeing both of them making out with each other just elevates the entire scene. That’s precisely what happened today as my boring old fitness routine was interrupted by the presence of acclaimed footballer Reggie Bush and his …

THEATER REVIEW: Point Break Live!
It’s not often that I stray from my TV, but once in a while, I do peel myself off the couch and take in a bit of the theatre (pronounced “theee-atttrah”). Case in point: last week, I attended Point Break Live!, the much buzzed-about play which reenacts the famed 1991 action pic, Point Break, live …
