Vacation log and pictures:
Ok, got back from LA on Monday and have posted the pictures.  At least once a year i try and see my best friend, who's doing a post-doc at UCLA right now.  Been friends for going 13 years now and she's pretty much seen me through ever crazy girl i've been with for all that time.. including the current and most crazy one .p

Rather than give a boring day by day account of what happened, i'm gonna give a few boring highlights of the weekend in no particular order.

The Traveling Adventures of Joe Fix-it
So when i got there i noticed that the toilet was leaking and her router was broken.  After plugging into the modem direct, i found a nearby hardware store.  i guessed on the type of flapper and came back and replaced it.  Now you have to hold the handle up a bit longer, but at least it doesn't leak.  I told her i'd replace the arm too, but she said no.

Manged to find the default admin password for her router and did a hard reset.  I set her up for Mac Address filtering instead of WPA and all seemed ot be good.

Her bathroom sink was also running slow.  I tried to play with the values underneath to no avail.  Finally went on another adventure to a different hardware store, to buy a wrench.  Turned out there was much sediment in her aireator.  Once that was clean it was all cool.

Oh those Hollywood Nights:
She owed me dinner, so we decided to go to Yamashiro's.  It was supposed to be really good.  Pictures had a very nice view.  We rushed to get ready and get there after she finished work.  Made it there  just before sunset.  The decor and the view were really great.  The food was kinda meh.  The dessert (Trio of Creme Brule) was awesome.  It would have been a decent meal if the service was just faster.


Following that we went on an adventure.  We changed and caught a cab to a club she'd never been to before.  We managed to find it.  At first it looked dead, then we were told the entrance was on the side.  The club was ok.. just the main dance floor was really hot and hard to breathe.  Afterwards, we came home and took some more pictures.


Born in East LA:
I also hooked up with a cammie, who lived on the east side.  If not for the GPS i never would have found my way back.  Was good to Meet you Rachel


On Being Mistaken for a Paparazzi:
So... when ever i go on a trip, i try and find a Lingerie shop and bring something back for Wilma.  Rachel suggested i go to Frederick's.  While looking on the webtubes... i found a place called Trashy Lingerie.  I figured I at least wanted to take a look at that.

Turned out to be a Member's only store... but there was a nice looking Masseratti parked in front... not int eh rear...

I finally found Frederick's after two tries.  On the way there, some guy on Hollywood asked me if i was a Paparazzi and i replied, "no Tourist." I found a few really cute things.   Pictures of said Lingerie will not be publicly posted .p

Of Horny Mint Flavoured creatures...
We decided to go hang with stupid (one of my kinder nicknames for Wendy's BF) one evening.  His friends and he were at the Spearmint Rhino.  Apparently they go there a lot.  By the time we arrived, stupid already had a girl picked out for me and paid for a lapdance.  I called Wilma and even had her talk to "Ally."  Ally was really nice.  Wendy loves to make fun of me cause i'm the only guy she's ever heard of that would get a lapdance and the girl would know my life story in three songs.  No pictures of that either .p
