XL Weekend...
This past weekend featured much mayhem and my seeing the best and worst of LA. A quick recap:
1) I tried this new deli thing that opened in Westwood: Famima!! It's kind of like a take on a Japanese 7-11. Fresh sushi, paninis, soup, bun and other food. crazy drinks, internet access. it's pretty cool. They're hoping to expand nationwide by 2009, so keep your eyes peeled.
2) i headed into the valley (shudder) friday night. but it turned out to be not so bad. ALthough, i was in studio city, which is about as good as the valley gets. Anyway, good times were had by all.
3)saturday featured a trip back to Malibu and the lovely Taverna Tony's, one of my favorite restaurants in LA. One for the memories of sotiris, nikos and geoff, and two for the food. We also happened to be sitting at a table next to Robert Duvall, which was pretty cool.
4) saturday night was reserved for going to see brokeback mountain. We wanted to go to a 4:10 show, so we left for the theater at 3:30. Unfortunately, we didn't even get in the vicinity of the theater until 4:20. Stupid LA traffic. So we went to the 7:15 show. The movie was excellent, with compelling characters that stay in your head for a while. I recommend it.
5) Sunday was superbowl time, kicked off with a rousing game of touch football. Even though it's touch football, i always end up sore in strange places the next day. But i enjoy it. Also, won $75 in a combination of prop bets and square pools, and managed to finish 3rd in my fantasy league, which should carry a prize of around $200. So that iPod may not be as far off as once thought...
Upcoming week should be pretty exciting, keep your eyes peeled.

I must inform you that each time in your blog that you write "good times", I take a shot of whiskey. I think I have a problem...
