I walked all the way from New York New Yourk to Paris via Monte Carlo!
And boy are my feet tired! Yeah, weak attempt at humour…
Granted these are casinos on the strip, but they’re still a looong ways apart!
So I was walking through the Bellagio and saw this.
Now what is it you ask? Well, 
Apparently, it’s the worlds biggest chocolate fountain. That’s the weirdest thing I’ve seen out here so far…
Can you imagine being smothered in that stuff? Waaaah! Just thinking calorie-filled thoughts here…
LA Culinary Adventures!
Well, that’s kind of misleading…
It’s more of a “redux” kind of tour. Follow:
I had Tommy’s for dinner. Mmmmm, Tommy’s breath!
I went to Manny’s (AKA Chano’s) for lunch. Hot sauce!
And yesterday, I had to do the obligatory In n’Out run since I AM in Southern California now.
This is gonna blow my diet out of the water. Thankfully, I’ve been having light breakfasts to compensate…
On da road again…
Yup, I’m “itchy scratchy” and I’m down in Southern California for a few days.
Actually, I’m in LA for a few days and then I’m hightailing it to Las Vegas for a few days more.
And naturally, since I’m going to be down here longer than a weekend, I decided to drive down (since it’s great to have a car down here).
Normally, I wouldn’t do the drive if I was staying here for just a weekend. Any period of time longer than that would be prohibitively expensive, since I gotta rent a car and all that.
It’s not too hot down here so far. They’re still going through “June gloom” down here. However, the weather in Vegas is extremely hot!
40+ degrees!!! But thankfully no humidity like BKK. It’s still hot though.
Peeple knead two reed!
What is it with San Francisco people? Not the Natives, the newbies.
Alledgedly, San Francisco people are the most edu-ma-cated according to various polls and worthless surveys. Yet when it comes to reading, they dun do it! The excuses are myriad, such as “I was too busy because I was: (surfing porn, cutting my toenails, dealing with windows, eating) while “trying” to read the blog.
Like reading this takes a lot of friggin’ effort?!?
I’ve been online with frens from disparate places such as New York City, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Singapore who read and appreciate this! Cannot tell me that they have lots of spare time to spare!
San Francisco, compared to these cities, is a sleepy burb. So enough with the excuses already! That’s why the title of the blog has been changed.
Just a little…
Absolute BS (sort of)
So on the way back from the Headlands (see previous entry), there was a gently curving road that was fun until we hit this red light.
Read that sign underneath the signal. FIVE MINUTE LIGHT?!? And no countdown signal or anything!
But it’s there for a good reason since the tunnel you enter after the light has ONE lane.
But it still can use a countdown timer at that friggin’ five-minute light…
Went for a Ride
Went for a ride on my motorbike with a friend who was breaking in his last weekend. It was a fun jaunt through Marin ending at the Marin Headlands (at the north end of the Golden Gate Bridge).
At the other end of the Headlands is Point Bonita. There’s been a lighthouse there for a billion years.
But nowadays, instead of lighthouses, the modern solution is radar and electronically controlled foghorns.
Now this is just Wrong wrong wrong!
I went to PacBell SBC Park for a Giants game. We won, yay!PacBell SBC Park is known for having expensive food, which it does. It also has expensive beer. All kinds of beer. Bud is US$5.00 and everything else (“premimum”) beer is US$7.50. They even had this:
But check out the price!
Now that’s just plain WRONG! And the US$4.25 is for the bag o’nuts you see there in the pic.
US$7.50 for Pabst Blue Ribbon? Anta BAKA??
I’m Who?
Congratulations Rodney, you are…
Cowboy Caleb of cowboycaleb.liquidblade.com
You are smart, loyal and sensitive. You are also very caring towards other people and you help them out whenever you can. You are very passionate about your line of work. You fight for your beliefs and if someone doesn’t agree with you, you argue your point of view across in a very convincing yet diplomatic manner. For that, you earn respect.
Irish Chinese Food???
I’ve heard of multinational companies, but this is absurd! Check out my bag of potstickers.
Pretty straightforward, right? Now check out the name of the company that makes these taste treats…
Yup. A company from Southern California (City of Industry) with an Irish sounding name that makes Chinese food.
The mind wobbles… (Kelly Bundy)
First BBQ of the Season
So baseball has spring training, football has pre-season and I’ve got the “it’s not raining anymore so let’s haul out the Weber” season.
Ergo, it’s the first BBQ of the season! We all decided to BBQ some chicken parts (Ivan), angus steak (me) and, erm, a Pork Log (Andy).
As the “master of fire”, I fired up the coals and started up the grill. Dun worry, I was supervised every step of the way.
