The meaning of life – the 42 Firefox extensions I use

Glasses, books and Formosa Cafe
We headed out late after doing some cleaning around the apartment. First stop was Retrospecs, a nice glasses shop on Melrose in West Hollywood. Aviva ordered a new pair of glasses there, and I found some nice circular frames. The Bodhi Tree book store was nearby so we walked over. I got a book on […]

Dinner, some shopping, and “Revolutionary Road”

We ate dinner at Bistro Ka’s at the local (huge) mall, Topanga Canyon Mall run by Woodfield. The food […]

Some pictures from Little Tokyo
On Valentines Day Aviva arranged for his and hers shiatsu massages. So we drove down to Little Tokyo separately (Aviva was volunteering at a MOCA event that evening) and had our massages. A traditional massage is done through clothes, so make sure to wear loose fitting comfortable clothes. And the massage did wonders for both […]

“The Wrestler”, Magellan’s and dinner in Santa Monica, CA
I had a manicure and pedicure at 8:30A (those that know me know I’m a morning person) and a haircut at 11A, so we lost our morning, although I certainly enjoyed both. So Aviva and I headed out for Santa Monica after lunch. Our first stop was the cinema, as we both wanted to see […]
