dining at Cecconi was such a wonderful experience. They just opened this week, the food, service and atomsphere were all excellent. Too bad the camera run out of battery after a few pictures, but I ordered roast lamb shoulder and now I'm very interested in duplicating the dish at home!

I thought I needed to expand my recording collection as most of the time I feel uninspired practicing alone at home.

a new seafood market opened in santa monica and I went in to investigate and digged out this great balsamic vinegar, it's a little over $20 for a 100ml bottle but it's aged for 25 years and has a thick syrup texture. I got the last bottle, anyone knows a online store??

me trying to cross the little river, the water was icy cold! burrrrrr.

there hasn't been a lot of picture post lately, these are taken from Ben's camera phone. Right now it's the best time to hike at eaton canyon, there are plenty of water in the river because of the heavy rain from last week!

I love the vintage TV shows, this one is especially hilarious.

Exactly how do musicians practice on their instrument after they teach for a full day load of students? The way I see it, after 4 hours of correcting middle Cs and treble clef, I just want to puke on the keyboard and throw out the notes! There is NO WAY someone can be surrounded by something 24/7 and not get sick of it, that's why marriage don't work!

I saw Walts with Bashir yesterday afternoon, the theatre was somewhat empty with a few people sitting. It's a great movie, I really enjoyed it!

haha, my present for Natalie's first birthday is this little outfit, doesn't she look adorable??
