The Hangover

I'm still suffering the after-effects of the Oscars, and I dont mean my orangifying. After an incredibly interesting weekend, everything else seems too dull to drone on about. But hey - I'll drone anyway.

We went to a birthday dinner for friend Faith at a new fancypants brasserie in LA called Comme Ca. Actually its not that fancypants, but people seem to like it which means fancypants LA people go. Let's just say, I wore heels. Annnnyway I had the brandade to start and the duck for a main - both very good renditions, but not life-changing. Matthew won most ballsy, ordering the roasted beef marrow with oxtail jam starter (mmm cholesterol-ly!) and Steve won for most ostentatious with a truly ridiculous seafood plateau. Fun!

Sunday we saw "Vantage Point". Check your brain at the door. For the record, I am a tedious person to see a movie about the television news industry with. The only redeeming quality the movie had was detaching me from a Sunday morning "America's Next Top Model" marathon that threatened to consume my soul. I cant figure out if Tyra Banks is an empowering role model or an evil cyborg sent to usher in a heartless-but-fierce robot age.

Is anyone watching "Lost"? Last week's was super good - love me some Desmond.
