what have I been up to-general

I have had a lot of friend who have had birthdays lately, so pardon the hiatus.

Including Asher's birthday last weekend. We spent a nice day together, got massages and went to a French restaurant that has been in L.A. since 1927 call Taix. It reminded me of a 60's supper club that you would find in Mad Men. (another ploy to get you to see the show)

I have been watching a lot of Netflix. I love Heroes!!! I am a late comer to the show, but I think being able to see it all in a row is better than trying to remember what happened in episode 2 when it becomes important again in episode 17.

Another series I have just found and love is Carnivale It reminds me a lot of Twin Peaks. Too bad the show ends abruptly at the end of season two.

Next week begins Asher and my film noir week. I let you know what we watch.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Happy Thanksgiving today.

Eat lots of turkey and take lots of pictures and send them to me.

Star sighting

Yesterday I didn't realize that the person holding the door open for me at Starbucks was Rachel Griffiths. Yet another daft star moment for me. At least I said "Thank you" instead of something stupid like "You Rock"

Soliel Moon Frye (a.k.a. Punky Brewster and the girl who hits too hard on Friends) opened her environmentally friendly kids store called Little Seed last week on Larchmont, I'll let you know if I spy her next time I get Starbucks.

best burger joint

The Counter Look at this website and I dare you to not be hungry.

This is the place I chose for after beach time fun with the fam. The Counter is by far the best burger joint out there. You can build your own burger, and not with your standard tomato, avacado, and four different cheeses, but you can choose, brie, pineapple, turkey burger, veggie burger, carrot strings, wasabi mayonaise, ginger soy glaze or an English Muffin for a bun instead of the plain old bun. Or scratch that be healthy and take out the bun all together and put it all in a bowl.

Mmmmm the counter.
