			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Saturday 2.20.2010</p>
<p>My friend needed to come over early on Saturday morning to try on suits for a job interview on Monday. It was merely a formality at her existing job so she didn&#8217;t want to spend any money on buying one. Last night we were discussing the logistics of it. She offered to bring coffee and we discussed the fact that it was entirely possible that there might be a few porn stars  in my loft. She wanted to make sure they were ok with babies since she would be showing up at 8 am to do this with her 9 month old. My text to her: 1 coffee=$4. Gas to get downtown=$3. Borrowing a suit=Free. 3 porn stars babysitting while trying on suits=priceless. (I don&#8217;t know&#8230; it was funny when I sent it. Not so much a few days later while I type this sober.)</p>
<p>The car ride to LA was fun. And by fun, I mean a total and complete nightmare. I was still drunk. Nikki had shoved the stuffed animal monkey that I carry around to take photos with down her pants so it looked like pink pubes sticking out.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1503.JPG" rel="thumbnail"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1141" title="IMG_1503" src="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1503-224x300.jpg" alt="IMG_1503" width="224" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>The girls were playing a game called &#8220;Let&#8217;s make the most annoying sounds&#8221;. There was a shit load of traffic. I was thirsty. My head hurt. But every once in a while a good head banging song would come on and Nikki would go crazy. And we would laugh our asses off. You can hear Puma squeaking German sounds once in a while. Sounds a little like a sick kitten if you ask me.</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/4K6vUIOQpGI&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/4K6vUIOQpGI&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>I was dropped off at 818&#8242;s place and we literally just sat on his couch talking for 3 hours. It was awesome to chill out and do nothing. We didn&#8217;t even have the TV on. We were supposed to meet Jenn and the crew for her birthday at this Brazilian place called <a href="http://www.bossafood.com/">Bossa Nova</a> on Sunset, but apparently the shit show went on for too long today at <a href="http://www.srrestaurants.com/">Saddle Ranch</a> and none of them could pull it together for dinner. Our options were go to her house and watch them attempt to order in and pray that it be edible&#8230;. or go to dinner just the two of us. We chose <a href="http://www.anfamily.com/Restaurants/crustacean_beverlyhills/displaypages/homepage.html">Crustacean</a> in Beverly Hills.</p>
<p>Inside the place there is a fish tank under the floor. It&#8217;s pretty cool and definitely makes the time go by if you are unlucky and are waiting for a table.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1516.JPG" rel="thumbnail"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1144" title="IMG_1516" src="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1516-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_1516" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>The place was packed but somehow when I called 3 minutes before arrival that constituted a reservation of sorts and they seated us immediately. Maybe they recognized me because of my famous food blog. Bwhahahahaha! We started with the appetizer sampler. Clockwise from the left: open faced mini ahi tacos, egg roll shaped things filled with a creamy yummy goodness (I have no idea what the hell was in that), short ribs (nothing like <a href="http://www.philsbbq.net/">Phil&#8217;s</a> in SD, and a little dry), and minced shrimp puffs on a bamboo stick. (Which incidentally squirted and most definitely shot out and hit the man standing behind me.)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1509.JPG" rel="thumbnail"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1142" title="IMG_1509" src="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1509-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_1509" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>I had the Chilean Sea Bass with a ginger sauce (3 stars out of 5)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1510.JPG" rel="thumbnail"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1145" title="IMG_1510" src="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1510-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_1510" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>818 ordered the red snapper with a sun dried tomato Asian pesto sauce. (I wasn&#8217;t a fan of his and he wasn&#8217;t a fan of mine. It worked out nicely)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1511.JPG" rel="thumbnail"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1146" title="IMG_1511" src="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1511-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_1511" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Kieran Lee and Puma Swede molesting my pink monkey at <a href="http://www.thehappyendingbar.com/">Happy Ending</a> in Hollywood.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1519.JPG" rel="thumbnail"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1147" title="IMG_1519" src="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1519-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_1519" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>A very cool shot of Puma in front of the wheel of drink specials. I am kind of in love with this photo.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_15211.JPG" rel="thumbnail"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1163" title="IMG_1521" src="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_15211-224x300.jpg" alt="IMG_1521" width="224" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Oh shit my worlds are colliding&#8230; I have straight and gay porn stars in the same venue. Puma, Trevor Knight and Jen with one N.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1522.JPG" rel="thumbnail"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1148" title="IMG_1522" src="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1522-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_1522" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Tommy watch out for her. I know Trevor thought she was legitimately was a tranny. Lol.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1524.JPG" rel="thumbnail"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1149" title="IMG_1524" src="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1524-224x300.jpg" alt="IMG_1524" width="224" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Add Jayden Grey to the mix.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1525.JPG" rel="thumbnail"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1150" title="IMG_1525" src="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1525-224x300.jpg" alt="IMG_1525" width="224" height="300" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1526.JPG" rel="thumbnail"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1151" title="IMG_1526" src="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1526-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_1526" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1529.JPG" rel="thumbnail"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1152" title="IMG_1529" src="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1529-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_1529" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>And add yet another porn star, a girl I have known forever named <a href="http://mistyanderson.com/">Misty Anderson</a>! It was very strange randomly running into her and her ex, Gunner. They hung out with us all night. I am quite sure they were confused when an entire entourage of gay men walked into the straight bar and attacked me and 818. Anyways, Misty&#8217;s boobs are amazing. And no, she is not really that tall. I am just trying to get closer to her tits.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1531.JPG" rel="thumbnail"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1153" title="IMG_1531" src="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1531-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_1531" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>She is gorgeous, sweet, all natural and a country girl who rides horses. What is not to love about her?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_15331.JPG" rel="thumbnail"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1156" title="IMG_1533" src="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_15331-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_1533" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>HAHA! I am so mesmerized by these things. I think every bar needs one.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1534.JPG" rel="thumbnail"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1155" title="IMG_1534" src="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1534-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_1534" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1537.JPG" rel="thumbnail"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1157" title="IMG_1537" src="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1537-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_1537" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t get any photos of the physical abuse I endured tonight from Swenz. At one point, I was seriously exhausted from defending myself. It is funny for the first 10 minutes, but I was really just tired. They had worn me out. I went to the bathroom to escape them and they left the bar knowing I was over it. Good. Maybe they will chill out next time I see them. geeeez.</p>
<p>Half of our crew ditched Jenn to go to <a href="http://www.herelounge.com/">Here Lounge</a> down the street. Jonathan, 818 and I decided to stick by Jenn and hang out with her. She merely requested ONE night to stay away from the gay bars. We had to honor her birthday request.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1539.JPG" rel="thumbnail"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1158" title="IMG_1539" src="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1539-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_1539" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1538.JPG" rel="thumbnail"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1159" title="IMG_1538" src="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1538-300x225.jpg" alt="IMG_1538" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>It was fun and not as annoying as I thought it would be. Maybe because I was a little tipsy. Tipsy enough for road head on the way home. (**wink**)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sunday 2.07.10</p>
<p>We went to <a href="http://www.abbeyfoodandbar.com/">The Abbey</a> for a late breakfast with the entourage and indulged in this red velvet ding-dong. Whoa.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1261.JPG" rel="thumbnail"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-977" title="IMG_1261" src="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1261-300x204.jpg" alt="IMG_1261" width="300" height="204" /></a></p>
<p>Love the reflection shots&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1262.JPG" rel="thumbnail"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-976" title="IMG_1262" src="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1262-300x183.jpg" alt="IMG_1262" width="300" height="183" /></a></p>
<p>oh hey hot straight guy giving away snow-cones! What are you doing later? Maybe we could start off our date by cutting your hair off?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1260.JPG" rel="thumbnail"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-978" title="IMG_1260" src="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1260-300x218.jpg" alt="IMG_1260" width="300" height="218" /></a></p>
<p>This is Ruby, the new love of my life. Well, her owners took her away from me pretty quickly when they realized my unhealthy obsession  with her.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1254.JPG" rel="thumbnail"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-979" title="IMG_1254" src="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1254-227x300.jpg" alt="IMG_1254" width="227" height="300" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1259.JPG" rel="thumbnail"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-980" title="IMG_1259" src="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1259-184x300.jpg" alt="IMG_1259" width="184" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>How cool is this? Have you seen the app for the iphone that is like Etch-A-Sketch? you shake it and then it magically goes away</p>
<p><a href="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1269.JPG" rel="thumbnail"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-981" title="IMG_1269" src="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1269-300x197.jpg" alt="IMG_1269" width="300" height="197" /></a></p>
<p>This guy Pierce is all over SoCal, I swear to god he is just mysteriously at every event. The grape martini they were drinking looks yummy but was not good at all. Don&#8217;t you love that a martini is in a giant glass like that?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1267.JPG" rel="thumbnail"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-982" title="IMG_1267" src="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1267-182x300.jpg" alt="IMG_1267" width="182" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Outside of Ripley&#8217;s &#8230;I dunno it struck me funny.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1275.JPG" rel="thumbnail"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-983" title="IMG_1275" src="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1275-231x300.jpg" alt="IMG_1275" width="231" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>This is Christy&#8217;s little dog Guinness who loves to nibble on her hair while she is sitting next to him. He is a pitbull/chihuahua mix and I fell in love again today.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1276.JPG" rel="thumbnail"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-984" title="IMG_1276" src="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1276-300x202.jpg" alt="IMG_1276" width="300" height="202" /></a></p>
<p>so freaking cute</p>
<p><a href="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1280.JPG" rel="thumbnail"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-985" title="IMG_1280" src="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/IMG_1280-300x198.jpg" alt="IMG_1280" width="300" height="198" /></a></p>
<p>After the superbowl party at Christy&#8217;s house we went to this place called <a href="http://www.thehappyendingbar.com/">Happy Ending</a> in West Hollywood. It was very awkward for me to be in a straight bar. I was very uncomfortable and it was tragic to watch men and women hit on each other and dance poorly after hours of drinking. We were there for one drink and left. I was asleep by 10 pm and it was exhilarating going to bed sober and and waking up fresh the next morning.</p>
<p>On a side note 818 finally read my blog and is a little butt hurt that I don&#8217;t call him by name and that all the photos of him are in large group shots. So here is Adam aka 818.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Copy-of-IMG_1668.JPG" rel="thumbnail"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-986" title="Copy of IMG_1668" src="http://www.howilearnedtolive.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Copy-of-IMG_1668-300x225.jpg" alt="Copy of IMG_1668" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>I can&#8217;t believe I just did that.</p>
