My Job
I’ve had a couple of anonymous questions about where I work. So here’s the answer:

My Mulholland Drive
I spent two hours on Monday hugging the curves of Mulholland Drive in my rather large SUV at the advice of one Los Angeles Magazine article from the “Be a Tourist in Your Own City” (December) issue. Of the issue’s 15 things to do in LA, I’ve done 14 in my year here and the 15th didn’t interest me, so I decided to discover the gorgeous canyons of LA from Mulholland,...

I realize how much...
Video of the Joshua Tree National Park from my car. Don’t worry, as you’ll see I’m the only one on the road, I’m not going fast and I’m simply holding the camera up with my hand and keeping my eyes forward.

Harvard and Stone
Not necessarily the most creative name, the bar’s on Harvard Street and the exterior of the building is stone, but the interior is a mix of dungeon (not in the S&M or creepy ways), nautical, go-go dancers and hipsters. Quite a strange cocktail.
Harvard & Stone offers live music, but there isn’t a cover (score!). The band was so-so but the music the bar played when the band...
