Tapas in OC

We finally got a chance to go to Lizarran in Downtown Fullerton to eat some tapas. Delicious. The decor made you feel as though you were in Spain. Modern. Light. The server was very friendly and we went at a time when it wasn't busy. (5:30pm on Saturday). The place isn't that big but is perfect for a small group (2-6 people.). They have cold tapas you can get at their bar. They have many different varieties- we tried one with crab, salmon and cream cheese, potato and ham, and one with a stuffed… Continue

A Gang of Great Friends + A Korean BBQ Place = The Most Fun Birthday Party for Sam

Instead of making this blog post about a Korean BBQ place, I wanted to say "THANKS EVERYONE!" for coming out in force this weekend for Sam's birthday. I think at last count there were about 28 people who showed up at lunch and then others that came out for poker and a movie afterward. More than anything, Sam and I know that if we're lucky for one thing it is that… Continue

The Art of Kissing

I found this and DLed it. Most of this stuff is second nature by now, but there were some hints and tips which I have found intriguing.

The dictionary says that a kiss is "a salute made by touching with the lips pressed closely together and

suddenly parting them." From this it is quite obvious that, although a dictionary-may know something

about words, it knows nothing.… Continue

Urban HOTspot - Broadway Bar: Downtown LA

Next door to the Orpheum Theatre, Broadway Bar is a classy joint to grab a drink. The interior is nicely decorated with tapestry-decorated walls, antique chandeliers, and a large circular bar acts as the central hub. I like the fact that the bar is pretty cozy, but on a busy night, I could see how this place could fill up fast.



Who should… Continue

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MY LOVE!

He's the greatest thing since well-cooked galbi (I would have said sliced bread but Korean short ribs rock). He's my husband, my best friend, and my sanity. He'll be the first one to notice that your tires are flat, the first one to call XM Traffic to let them know that there was an accident in the #2 lane, he's the only one that will put up with my crap. I joke… Continue

Went to the opening night of the Downtown Film Festival at the Orpheum Theatre last night and it was quite the show.



In Search Of A Midnight Kiss was the opening movie. It's about a guy that has no one to kiss on New Year's Eve, so he puts an ad on Craigslist. It's a black and white, low budget film that's clever, witty and has superb… Continue
