Do yourself a huge favor and see Mr. Lonely. This is a great clip from the best movie of the year.

The Ever Insightful IMDB Message Boards

Now we can rest knowing how much Rebecca Hall's fans appreciate her.

Trip to Mecca

The Gap Should Take Note

If only we were all this honest with ourselves when thinking about what we want out of fashion.

Loving the lawless land of Mexico

Postcard from Playa Santa Monica. Death place of Coretta Scott King and Steve McQueen.

Early 90s are definitely back

Random early 90s reference.

Le Sigh

Dating Game LAX

Bachelor #1 is unabashedly a fan of comfort-- taking off his Crocs, sitting on the floor and heading back home after a quick jaunt to Disneyland and Venice Beach.

Bachelor #2 seems mildly important-- the ambiguously European sneakers, the stylish hat, the G4, the headphones.

Who do you choose?

Drink of the week

Ever been invited to a party where you'll know about two people and you really should bring liquor, but aren't sure what everyone drinks, what the crowd's going to be like, if there will be food and are committing to awkward social situations? You really feel like going out though and want to bring something, that will at least spark conversation with a stranger. Looks like we found your perfect party prop.

Who's your copilot?

If you don't want the photo taken, shut the door.

Andy at the Standy

Happy to report that Andy Milonakis is not only alive, but one of the few people that drinks Corona beer from a can. For the record, he is currently 32 years-old and according to Wikipedia-- has a congenital growth-hormone condition that gives him the outward appearance and voice of a pre-adolescent boy.

Starbucks has a chance!

Happy Birthday Annie

Annie turned 17 this month and mentioned her love of Joss Stone. Really? So YOU are the person that likes her? You're the one that gets her all this press? Learned at the Beach Chalet the other afternoon that Annie shares her love of Joss with some really awesome people. Maybe it's time to discover Joss Stone?

Airport Complaint #47

Unless you are seriously handicapped, can't walk or suffer from sort of life threatening disease, DO NOT line up early like this for your flight. It gives other passengers anxiety, creates a bottle neck when it is time to board and is generally annoying. Stop it. You know you're in zone 3 anyway. You're not in first class because the key word there is "class." Go sit down.

A MUST at your next party

Five handles of Jose Cuervo later, it was determined that the Margarita Man is the best thing to ever have at a party. It's a nationwide franchise. Find one near you now.

Change of Venue

Find us at Ocean Beach these days in SF. Who thinks it's okay to roll up to the beach and hula hoop? She later did downward dog and walked hand with her husband off the beach. There IS someone for everyone!

Iceman Update

A reliable source reported Chuck Liddell was manning the jukebox at McCarthy's last week. He played some Fleetwood Mac, CCR and other appropriate selections. Exact song titles and other artist choices were not recorded.

Cheers to Hemlock Street

Because he totally played Ugly Boy Basketball at Coles.

Airport Complaint #79

Nap in a corner and out of sight. You're taking up valuable seating space.

Cazadores beats Patron

Mexican Mother's Day blind tequila tasting/margarita party. Cazadores was the clear winner over Patron.

Missing Chicago

Nothing like spotting needles and smelling ambrosia in the windy city.

Chicago Dreams

If you're ever in Chicago, do yourself a favor and walk along the river. As you walk, think about those who've boated through the waters. More specifically, think about Larry and Balkie from "Perfect Strangers" and think about how amazing it would be if you saw them in a boat and they waved to you.

Balkie was so versatile.

Best Garage Sale of the Year

In case you missed it, Morro Bay City Wide Garage Sale Weekend was this month and it was amazing. The most fun garage sale was obviously in North Morro Bay.

The dragon started off the morning hopeful

A rad classic car showed up around 11am.

This man did not purchase the dragon.

Multiple dogs in attendance.


Waldo was there.

The proceeds from water sales actually supported an eleven-year-old. The USMC dog was sold for $1. We still support the troops.

The dragon finally disappeared from the yard on Sunday afternoon. No word on who took it, but if you have any information on its new home, please send an email.

VOTE FOR NOAH!!

NOAH SMUCKLER FOR CITY COUNCIL

Because he's smart, is into good food, helps the community, rides a bike, surfs and is cute.

Conceptual Boy Band

Not sure if this was ever an official boy band, but they should be. Thanks, Morgan Hill.

Best Burger Hunt Begins

The ABC (Avocado, Bacon, Cheese) Burger is one of the best burgers in the SLO County. More updates if better burgers are found. No chain restaurants/fast food joints will be considered.

The burger was so good, it was hard to take a photo. Note-- the kids online are crazy about this place too.

Viva La Ensenada!

San Simeon Cove is pleasantly near perfect.

Circa del castillo de Bill Hearst es una ensenada donde puedan nadar, jugar con los ninos, comer en la barbacoa etc...

Easter was amazing at the Cove in San Simeon... so amazing people were in the water without clothes to celebrate Jesus.



Don't forget the cove is still considered wine country.


Not sure about how clean the standing water is and there are no life guards. Please watch your children. Also, let's rethink playing soccer in the parking lot with children under 5. Traffic can get heavy on the weekends.


If it's not crowded, this is a good corner for nude sunbathing. Note-- Hikers on the trail above the cove can peep your bod when they look down on the beach.

Missing Shoes

These shoes have been a staple in the general Del Mar vicinity and are missing. If anyone finds them, please return them to the liquor store. They have major sentimental value and their origin is unknown. Any other information on them is appreciated.

A little further to the North

It really is happening there. Great use of font too!

Visit our neighbor at the Tavern

Take a time out and visit the Tavern.

You may catch women dancing on stools and singles' action.

Just about five miles down Highway 1 stands our good friend, The Cayucos Tavern. A drinker's Disneyland, the Tavern hosts "Poker in the rear and liquor in the front" nightly as well as pool, shuffle board, live bands on the weekend, electronic touch screen games and lemon drop specials.

You're sure to find a smattering of personalities at this historic location. If you have not visited, you really haven't lived.

The Pay Phones

The pay phones in the parking lot are surprisingly used quite frequently. Pay phone customers are either under seventeen years old, noticeably under the influence of alcohol, methamphetamines or other controlled substances and on occasion are of Hispanic decent.

The phones are sporadically used all hours of the day and night. It should also be noted that the buttons are stiff and one must use force when dialing.
