We’ve been out and about with the doggy in Santa Monica.

darn it
Looks like I won’t be swaying to the sound of Keane next month. Bummer.
Battera sushi
After a half-hearted attempt to enjoy some jazz on Thursday, we gave up and went for more palatable sushi instead at Sushi Isshin (Lindbrook and Tiverton, Westwood). We’ve had all sorts of food at Isshin: bento for lunch, tempura, california-style rolls (like black dragon and caterpillar), chirashisushi, noodles. But we’ve never been on a Thursday, […]
An evening in Venice
Straying a little further than usual, we spent a few twilight hours out west on Venice Beach last weekend. (And, yes. It took me a whole week to get round to writing this.) Someone had the rather nifty idea that we should try out Jin Patisserie on Abbott Kinney Blvd. While living out there last […]
Russia comes to the Hollywood Bowl
Courtesy of a German conductor. This weekend has been Tchaikovsky-tastic at the Hollywood Bowl: two nights of the Russe with fireworks. The evening started rousingly with T’s Cossack dance: your steroetypical populist folksy tune made classical. It set the scene for a evening of entertaining cheesiness. Now, don’t get me wrong. I lurve Tchaikovsky, and […]
Palms Thai
Pad See Ew must be the Thai equivalent of Char Kway Teow (a dish truly deserving of captalisation). And not having been back to S’pore for nigh-on a decade, this is the closest I’ve had to the magical fatty friedness that is CKT. Unfortunately, the use of broccoli and chicken makes it far too healthy […]
Hammer for Free
Not so much one that bangs nails into walls, but one called the Armand Hammer Museum in LA. (Not the Arm and Hammer, as misunderstood by a friend. In-joke for those who live in the States.) The museum has had a summer of free-ness. Free rock, free exhibitions, and now, free jazz. We had a […]
Dancing till Dusk
We’ve been away. And now we’re back to the crazy heat of LA. It had been impossible to do anything in the daytime for at least a fortnight until it finally cooled off last weekend. Which meant the weather was finally to my taste, and we could hit the beach. Manhattan Beach for a change. […]
