Sit, Billy.: An Introduction
http://sitbilly.blogspot.com/2012/05/message-from-camp.html
Later this month I'm moving to Costa Mesa, within walking distance from the "SoBECA District." "SoBECA" is an acronym for "South on Bristol Entertainment, Culture and Arts," which doesn't really make sense. But moving on. SoBECA's two big features are The LAB. Little American Business") and The CAMP. Which are located across from each other along South Bristol and anchor this Orange County anomaly. And I can't figure out what I think of them. And unfortunately for these two landmarks, The LAB's.

One Bouquet, Four Rooms. Cup, the ceramic or porcelain cup that looks crumpled, but it was a gift so I'm not sure. In the bedroom, I've placed a couple of lilies that have yet to bloom in a square glass vase. And in the living room, a couple of unidentified violet flowers in a sake bottle add a touch of color to the white coffee table. SoBECA's two big features are The LAB. Little American Business") and The CAMP. And unfortunately for these two landmarks, The LAB's. Design smells of my sister's old Sassy.

The Best Kind of [Street] Closure. LOS ANGELES - This week I finally got a better look at that green thing on Griffith Park Boulevard that I've driven past countless times since I began working in Silver Lake. First of all, it has a name: Sunset Triangle Plaza. And, lucky for Silver Lake residents, it's Los Angeles' first street-turned-pedestrian-plaza. On Wednesday the organization de LaB. S Margot Ocañas and Anna Peccianti, Frank Clementi of Rios Clementi Hale Studios. Installed by LADOT. Wednesday...

CECIL BEATON'S SKETCH FOR MY FAIR LADY. IMAGE VIA HATSANDVEILS.NET. There are so many good classic films I have yet to see and, until this week, My Fair Lady. Was one of them. Lucky me, I got to see it at The Music Center's Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, which opened the same year the film was released (1964) and where, I'd like to point out, the Oscars were held several times. So why was My Fair Lady. Playing at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, and why was I there? S Last Remaining Seats. Did I like it? Looki...

Sit, Billy.: Barack-oli Tree House

Having always liked broccoli's resemblance to trees (I guess that makes cauliflower winter trees) and probably because I went to architecture school, I couldn't resist posting this photo. I came across it in a slideshow. That accompanies yesterday's Slate. Article, "Why Broccoli? By friend L.V. Anderson. Who you may know as the woman behind the blog A Temporary Omnivore in Paris.

Sit, Billy.: Breakfast, Part I
http://sitbilly.blogspot.com/2013/06/breakfast-part-i.html
Breakfast, Part I. Bacon and eggs were not something my parents made for breakfast. Instead, despite my mother being a nutritionist, breakfast in our house included a rotating cast of microwaveable churros, grocery store pumpkin pie and apple strudels, and Toaster Strudels. With the icing packets. Yet no artificially colored cereals! Which is why I now buy Lucky Charms from time to time.) Or snacks! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Sometimes, I read. The year that was. It's Not Hard to Look Good.

Ronna and Beverly with John Slattery and Justin Kirk. American Sport, Japanese Food. Watching Game 7 of the NBA Finals at Place Yuu. 40 Hours in Houston. I'm back in Houston for an old colleague and friend's wedding. Here's the lowdown, so far, à la The New York Times. The wedding is not too long and not too short. My friend looks beautiful in her dress that we've seen before but only on the computer screen. She looks like she is made of wax, in a good way. For the wedding reception. My parents go se...

Sit, Billy.: For Me…or for You?
http://sitbilly.blogspot.com/2012/07/for-meor-for-you.html
For Me…or for You? Twin Peaks Map by Robert Farkas. When I come across Cool Things (in this case, on Design Milk. Like the above TWIN PEAKS MAP (! I don't know if I should buy it for myself or for one of my Twin Peaks-. Obsessed friends. If I bought it for myself I would have a really cool poster. Plus, it would go well with the apartment's Sol LeWitt walls (another post for another time). But if I bought it for a friend, well, that would make me a pretty cool friend. You can buy it here.

Sit, Billy.: January 2012
http://sitbilly.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
I don’t consider myself a blogger, but I do have a blog, and it’s a new year—such a new year, in fact, that it’s still okay to send new year cards…right? 8212;so why not start blogging again, even if it’s only every three months? I began Sit, Billy. In September 2007 and since then have accumulated a number of draft posts, some of which I thought I would share, so I can delete them, finally. Excerpts from a chat session with “Megan F.” at j2 Global online support) (2008). Ann} I cannot be credited at all?
