Cha Cha Cha in 2005 Back on New Years Eve, my friends and I attempted to patronize Caribbean eatery Cha Cha Cha, but the lines were simply too long for our celebratory timetable. We instead headed down the street to The Boulevard, happy to discover a suitable dining option on such short notice. Little did …

Adventures in Precipitation: Los Angeles Endures RAIN!
Here comes the rain again… Everyone by now knows about rain and Los Angeles: the two don’t mix. They’re simply not meant for each other — kind of like Carlos Mencia and an original punchline (heyohhh!!). Luckily, rain keeps its distance for most of the year, but then comes “winter” (ie. the time when the temperature …

A sight rarer than the unicorn.

Join Our Club! Oh, wait. DON'T.
I just received an email that was quite curious, and not because it called me by the Asian-esque name, “BEN BEN.” The cyber missive came from an organization called HollywoodMixer.com, and seeing that the title comprised two of my favorite things, I was immediately intrigued.

RESTAURANT REVIEW: Vito's Pizza

Absolutely Horrific
I don’t want to be overly cynical or anything, but I’m truly amazed at how dumb people can be sometimes. Yes, I know that sounds harsh and particularly “angry blogger”-ish, but it’s true. I mean, we all do dumb things â€â€Ã‚ it’s normal â€â€Ã‚ but the other day at the gym, I witnessed one of the …
