Painted Box Spring/ladder trail looked very interesting. I did read the description to my mom first, for prior approval, had another picked out just in case. but she seemed not to notice. "Let's do it!".. she said.

indian food.. mmmm
an ole' college friend was in town and we did a little catch up last night. I haven't seen her since back at school.. how long was that.. hmm... let's see i graduated around.. '00 ;) ...
anyway, she hasn't seen much of LA and i've been wanting to check out different areas so we walked around Los Feliz. A couple of very cute clothes shops! plus... A huge bookstore, didn't go in but i will be back. And a very cute & good Indian Restaurant. We wound up eating there if you didn't guess. The Electric Lotus, added to the HotMap!
The food was very good. We ate outside, but the inside was super super cute decor. I want/need to go back! It happened to be Monday night we were there so not crowded at all. Though I noticed the reviews when i added it to the hotmap and they mentioned it does get quite busy.. so be prepared.
Best of all .. next time i take the subway!! Red line - Vermont and Sunset blvd, baby

sunshine cleaning
My love of Shabu Shabu is only second to my love of Thai Yellow Curry...... mmmmmm
I skipped working out Tue eve, to enjoy some free tickets for a movie screening offered to LACMA members. The movie was an independent flick: Sunshine Cleaning. I recommend checking it out pretty entertaining, i don't want to give anything else away ;) .. Oh but i did get a mini workout in. Running late as usual, i grabbed the first parking spot i saw open on Whilshire.. thinking LACMA was a block away.. well it was more like 5 blocks, so i ran.. ran right past LACMA to the next museum, with the city light display out in front. Thinking it was LACMA of course.. i walked around.. realizing i had no idea where i was and wasn't even sure of which way to head. Luckily my friends are more responsible than i. They were there already, picked up my tickets and helped me navigate via cell phone.
After the movie we headed nearby for a bite to eat. I've been wanting to try Shabu Shabu ya, ( on La Brea just before Whilshire) since I had seen it when i decided to try the La Brea exit off the 10 one day. It is a very cute, slightly divey place. They had do it yourself shabu shabu and a bit of sushi available. I say do it yourself because Ebizo sker's in Manhattan beach, offers the shabu shabu bowl which is still my top fav!.. mmmm beef shabu shabu with lots of yummy veggis and brown rice. Shabu shabu ya may be 2nd but it's first in my local area and i will be checking it out again, i've added it to the hot map.
