TV. Food. Pop Culture.
My good friend IndianJones recently issued this challenge to me: “Are there any posts tagged ‘death’ and ‘funny’? That would be more useful.” I assume he’s talking about physical death, not metaphorical death (such as the one suffered by the New England Patriots’ dreams after their near perfect but ultimately failed 2007 season). Well, the …

When it comes to late night dining, Los Angeles has its fare share of offerings; although, truth be told, we could always use more. I can only go to my after-hours haunts so many times before ennui kicks in. That why I’d been so excited to try The Waffle, one of the latest entries in …
It’s been a while since I’ve posted about dead celebrities. This is mostly due to laziness, but a small part of me also didn’t like seeing the “death” and “sad” tags having such prominent places in my tag cloud. (IndianJones, meanwhile, is eager to have his name ascend beyond the lower tier, but that’s another …
After a prolonged, icy winter that left Los Angeles reeling in the permafrost of multiple 62 degree days, the sun finally came out this past weekend, sizzling the Southland up to temperatures reaching triple digits. It was, in short, excellent. To celebrate this change (not to mention the impending weekend), my friends and I decided …
Sad. A few nights ago, an innocent little spoon fell undetected into the dark abyss that is my In-Sink-Erator, soon become the latest victim to the monster’s gnawing teeth. Yes, this wayward piece of flatware endured an unceremonious demise as I flipped on the food disposal switch and heard all too late the loud clattering …
Today is opening day for baseball, and in honor of this momentous event, I’ve not only published an extremely generic and clichéd blog headline, but I’ve also compiled some photos from Friday night when I went to a Dodgers vs. Red Sox exhibition game here in Los Angeles. Spearheading this trip was my friend IndianJones, …
It’s sort of funny that last night’s Top Chef episode featured a taco challenge because I’ve spent the past week in a veritable taco-haze, eating those little nuggets of Mexican joy with reckless abandon. In fact, I’m in such a taco fever that I did the unthinkable: I tried to make some at home. The …
Two days ago, my boring old trip to the frozen yogurt shop was made considerably more amusing and bizarre with the sudden appearance of a dairy-hoarding, jalopy-driving Faye Dunaway. The entire experience was so strange that I couldn’t help but to blog all about it. Then again, I blog about lint I find in my …

With yesterday’s double-header of football playoff goodness dominating the day’s activities, my friends and I (the Lametourage) headed down to famed Los Angeles sports bar Barney’s Beanery to take in the first game of the day, Patriots vs. Chargers. Everyone was excited for one reason or another, but no one seemed to be as emotionally …

Recently, during my travels through the Internets, I came across a blog, Dessert First, that among other things, features a nifty section devoted to dessert recipes. Now, I’m no cook, and I’m certainly not a baker, but when I saw an entry devoted to chocolate tartlets, I became intrigued. Over the past few months, I’d …
