A Few Fun Things

Well i'm not gonna lie, last week was horrible but i'll definitely spare you the details. Focusing on the positive, I had a lot of happy moments in between :-)

Found an adorable coffee shop THE DAY BEFORE i went on a coffee detox..perfect timing i guess, just like everything else going on :-)


My neighbor and i tried a new place called Pork Belly's on Abbot Kinney, it was so fun and delicious!! There are big guys with tattoos and caps on in the kitchen slopping pork belly onto buns and breads and all kinds of goodies. You get to see all this while you wait in line, adds to the ambiance. There is no place to eat inside, so you stand outside :-)


 I also went with my neighbor and a group of her friends to Shakespeare In the Park, a free event the Independent Shakespeare Company puts on in Griffith Park every summer weekend. It's in the area where the old zoo was, so the overall feeling is kind of dramatic (you're surrounded by old stone animal caves!) and intense (wild cyotes howling throughout the evening), like Shakespeare's plays,
Her friends are all in the film industry so it was fun chatting with them. They brought all kinds of amazing tapas type appetizers and good wine. One made fig chutney to go with all the cheeses she brought. Another made the BEST fried chicken anyone has ever had. I don't usually eat fried chicken but this stuff was amazing!
The play was fun too, just simple and to the point. Got so chilly by the end of the night we were all wrapped up in blankets.

 As Shirley and i were waiting in line for the restroom, i got to catch a shot of people's silhouettes along the wall. The shadows were so clear they almost looked like real people!!!
