Well, here I am. On another plane. But unlike my recent Alaska and Jetblue excursions, this time I’m on American Airlines, and you know what that means — GoGo in flight wireless! That means that I am writing to you live from the skies, relaying useful and petty information AS IT HAPPENS. The glories of technology. …

PROJECT SCALLION: The Cost of Neglect
When I went out of town last week, I left the horticultural needs of my apartment in the good hands of my friend jash, who has done an absolutely stellar job of keeping my rosemary, thyme, basil, and chives alive. The fact that I even have so many plants is a bit mindblowing to me, …
Horticultural Activities Overtake My Balcony
As I mentioned yesterday, I went to the Silver Lake farmers market over the weekend, and not only did I bring home crabs — the edible kind — but I also emerged with three varieties of plants: rosemary, thyme, and chives. I’m all about saving money, and if I can grow these herbs instead of purchasing …

ADVENTURES IN DOMESTICITY: I Got Crabs Edition
Saturday in Los Angeles was one of those perfect, sunny Southern California days, and so when my friends Jash and Sly informed me that they were heading off to Silver Lake for the farmer’s market, I was more than happy to tag along for fun. You see, I’m notoriously ineffective at farmer’s markets. I tend …

Attempting to Visit Michael Jackson's Star
With the new of Michael Jackson’s untimely passing today, IndianJones and I decided to trek on down to the King of Pop’s star on the nearby Walk of Fame. Sounded like an easy enough endeavor, and thanks to Jash, we knew exactly where the star was located. But things are never as simple as they …

Deconstructing the Perez Hilton, will.i.am Feud
Oh what a glorious morning. I woke up not knowing what I’d be writing about (sorry, my trip to the Big Brother house on Friday must stay under wraps for another week), but then I checked my email. My friend jash had alerted me that will.i.am from The Black Eyed Peas and Perez Hilton from, …

Journey To The Corpse Flower
Earlier this week, B-Side Blog reader Sisofjash sent me an email urging me to go to the nearby Huntington Botanical Gardens in Pasadena to check out the very rare and supposedly very malodorous blooming of a “corpse flower.” This exciting event only happens once every few years, and apparently, it’s been witnessed by humans less …
AND NOW A WORD FROM THE CRAZIES: Letterman Protesters Edition
This video is absolutely amazing. It features a handful of protesters who are still pissed about the Letterman/Palin flap — a flap that came to a close two days ago. Some people just can’t move on. I guess that’ll happen when you’ve been VERBALLY RAPED. Via Daily Intel (Thanks jash)
THE BASIL CHRONICLES: Chapter 2 — It's Still Alive! (And Controversial!)
Well, it’s been nearly two weeks since I’ve purchased my basil plant, and I’m happy to announce that not only is it alive, but it’s been put to good use. This is shocking because let’s face it, I have a terrible track record with plants (see The Parsley Chronicles). Making matters worse is that my …

On Tour With The Top Chef Stars!
Late last week, when I heard that Top Chef superstar Fabio Viviani would be in the neighborhood doing a cooking demonstration for something called Top Chef: The Tour, I knew I had to find a way to see it. The event was booked up, but thanks to the good people at Bravo, they found a …
