Classics

Went out recently to Marina Del Rey and I swear, every other car was a Porsche.  It was getting to the point where they started to look as common as civics... until I saw this baby... SO NICE!

Sushiya

Last weekend, went to a friend's sushi restaurant in Valencia called Sushiya.  Good sushi, good service, good atmosphere, great service =)  It was grand opening and I swear, we must have eaten all their supply of uni. I LOVE UNI.  Of special note was the uni sashimi and a chef's special beef.  The beef was awesome.  Thanks again!

The chef's special beef.  Hard to describe, but there was an herb that had an amazing taste  to it.

Time to decorate

Finally moved into the new home.  Major furniture pieces have been settled.  Now it's time for all the decorative pieces...  Not too long ago, I went on a frame binge at Ikea and somehow managed to bring back like 10 frames or so, thinking I'd fill them with these super cool pictures that I would take.  Well, it's been like 6 months and I currently have 10 very nice, empty frames.  So my goal is to take one frame worthy picture a month (okay, maybe 2).  So here's picture number one!

Vegas!

Weekend trip to Vegas for my brother-in-law's graduation from pharm school.  I always wonder how anybody can get through schooling in Vegas.  Congrats!

The lights of Vegas.  Must be getting old when after 4 hours of driving your back feels like it's about to cave in.

Our hotel.  Really only our hotel b/c of hookups.  Imagine waiting in line for an hour for valet... then imagine waiting 3 minutes.  AWESOME.

$9 for ONE piece of Hamachi!!!  I bet they got it from L.A.  How can you have fresh seafood in the middle of the desert!
