I have been completely obsessed with this lately. I think the lady behind the counter at Bay Cities Italian Deli in Santa Monica thinks I’ve lost my mind. What can I say? Delicious cheesy, tomato-y, oniony, bread-y goodness, ready to eat. And at $3, it’s just about the best investment for your hard-earned cash in [...]
If you know me reasonably well, you probably know that I like to make a point of avoiding every other major pop culture phenomenon, for no particular reason other than I like to think of myself as a rebel. That’s right, I don’t have a MySpace page, and I’ve never seen Titanic. No one cares. [...]

These posters just went up here in Venice, and it just goes to show that someone somewhere involved in marketing for Vaustralia (Virgin’s Australian brand) knows what they’re doing. I noticed the distinctive artwork of New Zealander-in-Australia Reg Mombassa (aka Chris O’Doherty), before I noticed that nice, low roundtrip airfare. While he isn’t a household name [...]
