POY-SIAN: Vertigo Relief...it's like chapstick for your nose

Funny how it's called: Inhaler Poy-Sian
Everyone and their mama had these up their noses in Thailand- for vertigo relief of course.
It consists of eucalyptus oil, menthol, camphor, and borneol.
I wish they sold these things here.

Best Fish Tacos in Ensenada

This place is great.
Nice little old friendly cashier lady.
Fast service.
Fresh fish and shrimp tacos ($1 and $2 ea.)
And I got two free tacos.
They have a nice array of toppings: sour cream, special guacamole, mango/pineapple salsa, pickled radish, and cabbage. I put a lot-a-bit of everything and it was divine...fatty loved it.

Green Doll Baby

This is like a glow worm baby, but minus the glow. I did a double take when I passed this thing, thought it was a real baby sitting on the lawn at first.

Cans on Vans...Is this allowed?

Tricks in the Sewing Machine aisle at Target

So, no one at Target knew a thing about sewing machines, instead I was entertained by this little old man and his wife, Honor. He showed me a trick where I had to pick a number, and he guessed it, sort of. Well i'll be darned. I love old people, the friendly ones.















































I love it when stores with buggies have these buggy escalators...so sensical.


I ended up getting a Brother.
Woo check out the foot pedal and extended table space. And it has a drop in bobbin.
Never thought I'd be so happy to own a sewing machine.

If you know how to use a pen, then there's no excuse for crusty looking nails.

Freeze Jeans?

True Religion brand says to freeze jeans. Apparently, once frozen and then thawed out, the jeans will have killed all the dirt and bacteria that existed prior to freezing. No more laundry!

Snuggie? Really? I thought this was a bogus commercial at first!

Anyone prancing around their house in a Snuggie deserves a slap not a snug.

London Days: Heater and Let Me Think About it

These two songs were way too overplayed when I was living in London last year- I heard them almost every time I was out in the city, and they were played constantly at my gym. Ha, but they bring back good memories.

Kuma Restaurant in Los Feliz: MMMMM SU-SHAAAY! I'd give you all of my love if I could.

I definitely would recommend KUMA. It's an Asian fusion restaurant and sushi bar.

I had Octopus salad which came with some cucumber with vinegarette dressing and seaweed salad, and also the Kuma Roll which consisted of tuna, yellowtail, salmon, crab, avocado and three kinds of caviar with wasabi-mayo sauce.

Just look at the mayo coverage: Momma lovessss mayo!

They also have Happy Hour Mon-Sat 3-6.

Verdasco gets into his 1st major semifinal and defeats Tsonga: 7-6 (7-2); 3-6; 6-3; 6-2. He's playing amazing tennis, better than he has ever played before and he is so tireless.
