We headed out late after doing some cleaning around the apartment.<\/p>\n

First stop was Retrospecs, a nice glasses shop on Melrose in West Hollywood.\u00c2\u00a0 Aviva ordered a new pair of glasses there, and I found some nice circular frames.<\/p>\n

The Bodhi Tree book store was nearby so we walked over.\u00c2\u00a0 I got a book on creativity and a clay statue of the Hindu goddess of creativity and music.\u00c2\u00a0 We drove east and a bit north to Book Soup (which is down Sunset Blvd. from Hustler headquarters) where I got two more books, one a book on Chinese underground culture, the other a graphic novel about a year in a teenage girl’s life.<\/p>\n

We finished the night with dinner at the Formosa Cafe, a long time LA hangout at Santa Monica and Le Brea – the food was good and not too expensive.<\/p>\n
