The meaning of life – the 42 Firefox extensions I use

I thought it was time to share my own list of Firefox extensions that I use (I constructed this list using the Extension List Dumper, which I used to help me move from Firefox 2 to Firefox 3 by identifying the extensions I needed to update or replace).  I currently have 42 extensions installed. Aardvark […]

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 did a bunch of apartment cleaning (always made interesting by being skrunched into a one bedroom apartment while still looking for a home).  We dropped Basil off at our dog sitter’s and did some errands. 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 […]
