I need to do this again. Four o'clock in the morning is one of the best times to roam downtown LA. Be sure to do it with a friend.

A Los Angeles reunion in late October is right around the corner. Let's count the days.

I would be lying if I said I didn't want to be a firefighter when I was little. I still want to drive a fire truck. Just once.

Don't you?

It's Shark Week. I'll pass on the beach, play, sun and fun for now, thanks.

The Blue Angels. Top Guns.

When I was little, I used to go to the hospital with my dad and hang out in the doctors' lounge or an empty meeting room and watch movies while he made rounds. Top Gun was my favorite.

A whole heap of goodness.

I think I'm going to start baking. Start learning how to bake. I can only imagine how good it feels to create something from scratch and have it turn out looking as good as these do.

I know, I'm not going to get these kind of results straight away but I've got a pretty serious sweet tooth and it doesn't discriminate in the slightest. I'm going to have to increase my exercise regimen. By a lot.

America's Mall. The Mall of America.

I was in Minneapolis this past weekend, very briefly, and managed to venture into the Mall of America for an hour and a half. It was overwhelmingly huge! There were more stores there than I cared to count and I'm positive that you could go there and spend entire days exploring without going to the same place twice. Kinda scary if you think about it.

The building even houses an amusement park. And nope, I'm not talking about just a kiddy roller coaster and a carousel. Photos to come!

Posting a little late today because I got caught out past midnight watching Inception. I'm no movie critic but I thought it was incredible. See it now, I say.

I think a trip to San Francisco needs to happen sooner than later. Much sooner than later.
