A great show.

Discovered this gem in Culver City. The Wallace. A great dinner with Dad and Georgeanne before Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band.

Tom O’Shanters. Old School LA. Where Walt Disney used to eat.

#6: Try 10 New LA Restaurants

Enjoyed The Nice Guy with clients. Good burger.

Still watching the big show from home.

Best Picture: Boyhood (It was better than average, but Whiplash remains my favorite)

Best Actress: Julianne Moore (Haven’t seen her movie, but she has won everything else)

Best Actor: Eddie Redmayne (I know Michael Keaton is the frontrunner, but Eddie’s performance was spot on)

Best Supporting Actress: Patricia Arquette (Because she has also won everything else. Very weak category this year)

Best Supporting Actor: J. K. Simmons (I will boycott the oscars if he doesn’t win.)

Best Cinematography: Birdman

Best Editing: Boyhood

Best Adapted Screenplay: The Theory of Everything (But honestly, impossible category)

Best Original Screenplay: Birdman

Best Director: Richard Linklater for Boyhood. (But really a coin toss with Birman director)

Great to see Brittany play the majority of minutes in all three games at the Big West Spring Tournament at UC Irvine. Finally having asthma medicine has done her wonders.

#5: N’awlins

I just canceled our April trip to French Quarter Fest in New Orleans in favor of some work obligations. Work over life? This could be the end.

#10: Reduce our energy bill by 30%

First gas bill of the year is a whopping 109% less than last year.

#6: Try 10 New LA Restaurants

A group finally refurbished the La Cana ruins that have looked like the upper right photo for as long as we’ve lived here. Service left much to be desired, but great looking space.

I gave five bucks to Chewy for the pic and the Storm Trooper was all bent out of shape.

Our Valentine’s Day came with some sacrifice. UCR played their first Spring scrimmage against a powerhouse San Diego State team. Brittany scored the first goal in the second half of what would become a 5-0 rout.

#33 lounge by 5 hotel pools

Going to try and message all of the LAFI issues out of our muscles.

#58 Become Platinum at the Cosmopolitan.

Car Service. Room upgrade. Amazing food. I know they’re getting the better deal, but it’s nice to be appreciated as a “loser”.

Sonia doesn’t eat breakfast like a girl.

Many call it the best dramatic television series of all time. The first season makes a good case. Next up, season two.

As tax season approaches, I need to be reminded why I stay in California.

My oldest nephew is officially a teenager.

#70 Go to a Comedy Show

The Laugh Factory produced.

Most excellent.

#53: Read 10 Books

Trying to figure out why my investment in good food is only returning lbs.

The sacrifices I make for good food.

#6: Eat at 10 New LA Restaurants

Republique. Two thumbs ups.

One of my all time favorite movies.
