New places to gooooo in LA

Good week of good spots in the HOod!

Got m'walk on and m'booze on. Felt newyorky being able to walk everywhere and la-y being able to go out in skirts n dresses without bundling. Love. This. City.

Umbrella Co.: super chill loungey hip vibe. Great drinks and bomb ass good delivered from grilled cheese place next door. Killer ambience - beautiful tiles ceiling in back and very tall ceiling with exposed wood (barn like feel) in the front. Great bar. Good music.
(Walked there and home and picked some yum yum floral flowers on the way back)

Ysabel: love the dinner/bar/outdoor vibe. Fireplace. Beautiful marble floors. Yum food. Went both fri and sat and have to say the late sat night vibe not as good. Too "hot spoty" feeling. You those girls who get in tight bebe dresses and have 1 aspiration...to be seen and climb. Grosses. And the cocktails get a big "booooo". But I will give more tries since it in like in m'backyard. I'm pulling for us, ysa!

The Normandie Club: A+ Korea town spot at the Normandie Hotel. They murdered the vibe and the mixology! Looovveeevvveeed it!!

Mandrake: it's aight. Ok drinks. Tiny spot in front. Random crowd. Some pushy peeps who act like they'z on eight ballz of cocainez.

Went to Cassell's before Normandie (it's next door)...its a burger joint with a full bar. Had Patty Melt...deeeeeelicious!!!! And reasonably priced! But their spicy potato chips are not spicy.

Great time exploring the town this weekend. I'm basically Chris Columbus

Screeners in M'eyeballs!

I go out of town for a few days and what do I come home to? A behemoth pile o'movies on m'doorstep!

I'm currently up to m'clockwork-orange-opened peepers in SCREENERS! eeeee! 

I'm talking 40 some screeners (THIS IS 40 being one of them) and I have to watch all these bad boys (and girls) before next week so I can nominate the "best-of's" for the SAG Awards. Phew. Well, I may sound like a total bitchface right now but, really, I'm pretty fracking (speaking of fracking...PROMISED LAND is in the mix) stoked! 

The films I've seen so far (ARGO, SILVER LININGS, BERNIE, WON'T BACK DOWN, PROMISED LAND, PARANORMAN, THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER, SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS, SMASHED, TO ROME WITH LOVE, ANNA KARENINA, part of MOONRISE KINGDOM, HYDE PARK ON HUDSON, THE DARK KNIGHT RISES, and LES MISERABLES) have all been pretty spectacular (with the exception of a few which will remain nameless unless I get *drunk and *send a letter to a european country *winkwink). 

Looking forward to watching FLIGHT right now and LINCOLN later and CLOUD ATLAS when I can find 3 hours. Will try to find time for all the ON THE ROAD's and MIDDLE OF NOWHERE's and GINGER&ROSA's out there.

I will definitely be making room for MAGIC MIKE. Giddy. Up. (WILL be making it a drinking game and WILL be feeling like I shimmied myself into my gender role.)

Well, off to my screening room (aka my laptop in my bed)!

I Wish I Could Post This Post On Paper!

I love old things! Hell, right now, I'm knee deep in The Thorn Birds on youtube. OLD SCHOOL.

ink&paper are two things I could never do without...no matter how technologically advanced we get. Anyway, I'll get off my soapbox (which will probably be replaced soon with something digital) to let you watch this touching video. I'm going to try to do something fancy enough to use them...

Please Excuse the Gross

I realize sometimes I post face pictures and other things that are probably unneccessary and more likely just gross but EFF IT! If you can't post that nonsense on your blog than where else can you?  You are probably thinking...how about nowhere. Well, to you yous I say...well, then why don't you start a blog and post nothing nowhere. Yeaah!
