Flight 001
Cool bag shops. We have been to ones in SF and LA.
Jack Spade bags are cool but a bit expensive.

Chinese Theater Hollywood. Did not know it resides near dodgey area. Fun to realize famous people hands and legs are not as big as you thought.

Chele's at Pismo. Good service by over tanned waitress. Food wise so so. The store across had a long que so we went here.

I like John Cusack and he was on a bit of tacky side on this one.
You kind a knew they gonna meet in the end but a pure sincere film. 7 bucks.

Eames house which they lived for over 30 some years. Nice and cozy, but kind a dump though. Huge Eucalyptus trees.

Salk Institute at La Jolla. Amazing. The open center yard and its view from it is the key. They say it is a biological research center. I found some surf boards stored at the base. Cool.

Buca di beppo. Fun and good atomosphered Italian. Pizza is not so but pasta is alright. I bet they are using Barilla.

Legoland in SoCal. OK but rides are soso. The Lego town is superb. Usually $40-50 per person. Where the monely goes? To Sweden??

Sycamore Hot Spring. 硫黄の温泉。でもヌルい、sucked.

Recommended by some blog site but it was too clever for me.
I dig he done it all by himslef and bet it was a low budgeted but does not show it too much.
Plus he controlled title and music designs cool. $1.

Kind a cheesy to me especially the Neeson and Firth. Firth, does he do more than low IQed brit lover? On the contrast, Bill Nighy who played old and tired Rock'n Roller and Emma and Alan who played older sis of PM Hugh were good. What was that with porn couple? $3. shit long movie.

どへんこつ、徳島ラーメンだそうだか、駅の醤油ベース糞ラーメンって感じ。
いまのところNever Again.

Office Space.

Low budget movie or it seems but some decent actors in it. I kind a liked it, especially the VP who drives a blue Porsche. Some funky soundtrack. Would I see it again... Nope.
Loon Wah, Cupertino

All day dim-sum. and we went there for dinner. May be wrong time to go but sucked.
$30 for four.

Anger Management (2003)

Fun, especially at the end.

Simple, inexpensive, served well and good taste. Although fries were not so tasty, would go again.

Sushi maru Sunnyvale.
Well a hair better than Miyuki.
Good Uni but for 5 buck. May be again.

うまいほうかな、アメリカにしては。Rround Table Pizzaよりうまいという感じね。Would go there again.

ライフアクアテックとなんら変わらない演技なんだけど、マーレイはこちらのほうが好きだったな。もうホームシックになってしまったのかな?俺。はじめてエンジョイして観たDVD付属特典映像など、ちょっと期待薄だったせいかその逆効果で1200円なり。

The swimming was good. Not crowded so I had a lane to myself first time in as long as I can remember ! However, the pool tasted pretty salty meaning there is a lot of chloline in. The pool is heated to 80 degree so 26.6 celcius. Outside is much cooler, so its kind a nice to hit a cool air after long swim when your body is warm.

最近、簡易ログを買ってきて暖炉で燃やしている。中になにが入っているのかわ良くわからないが、気の粉を固めて油に着けたような感じである。1ログで2時間もつ。ちょっと臭くなるけど、いい感じ。6ログで10ドル。部屋も少し暖かくなるし、まぁいいかな。でも飛び火や火事には気をつけよう。

昨夜はエレクションという映画を観たけど、300円位の価値ね。

912に燃料メーターのガスケット交換は効いているのか、ガソリンの臭いが減った感じもするが、やはりカーブ時や減速時に臭う。これはキャブ車の宿命なのかな?もう少しいじってみようと思う。でも実はガソリンタンクの臭いでは無く燃焼部屋=リアから来ているものなのかもしれない。だとしたら一酸化炭素中毒に気をつけなくては。特に後ろにのる子供たちにね。

今日は初めて近くのプールに行ってみようと思っている。ハードな人たちが少ないといいけど。
久しぶりのマシューでも映画はsoso

200円くらいかな。

Aeon Flux. Good gadgeted Sci-Fi, especially the silver friendly balls.

1500円なり。

In front of the SJ City hall there is Pho Lan and it is 2nd time we have been.
The noodle is stuck in the soup but other than that, it is an ordinally good Pho.

New City Hall in SJ. Very nice. The area surrounding are still under-development thus big open spaces.

Near our house there is a shop called Ogisan Ramen and we tried. Turned out that it is run by Taiwanese owner (who might have lived in Japan)
Although the Ramen was a bit better than expected, Sayonara.

Then on to Napa for the first time and vineyard after vineyard.
Some winery have a great tasting office and collections. Wine is that good turn over? I wonder.

Artesa winery had a bit nice architecture but the view from there was better.

Next we want to visit the Dominus by H&dM but it is not open to public.... yet.

From the Civic Center took about 40 min to Sonoma and ate at Maya Mexican restaurant. It has nice service and good healthy kind but still the buzz was not there. I am skipping here next.

Sonoma self is nice little cozy down town. But why so many hotels and they all looked old but turns out that there were built not too long ago, say like 6 years ago.
Marine County Civic Center. Designed by Frank Llyod Wright. It was a beauty. He designed all the street lamps and signs etc. as well as usual.

Some shot of Gattaca (where the rocket goes up) was shot here or so I hear.
Many Sheriff cars parking and realized county Jail was right next to it.

Very warm day for December and drove up for the first time in more than 15 years to see the bridge. It was a beautiful as ever. Many people riding bicycle around and thought it was nice.

In Mountain View. They are big chain and taste was soso.
Pho Queen is much better. 7 bucks for Pho and drink.
