Lyric Cafe

There was a coffee shop in K-town that was a great spot to get work done, but since a recent break-up, I needed a new spot where I wouldn't run into my ex.

I was headed for Intelligentsia in Silver Lake today for their $5 coffee and hipster crowd, but I drove by it and found a line out the door and crowds of people at every table, so I kept on driving.

I ended up at Lyric Cafe, and it's perfect. It's low-key, and they have free wi-fi. I bought a large coffee for $2.35, and I parked myself here for 3 hours.

I guess it's sort of a silver lining to break-ups - you find yourself going to places you would have never gone before. New coffee shops, new bars, new restaurants, new friends.

I see you

No, I'm not quoting "Avatar." I went to Trader Joe's in Glendale on my lunch break to grab a salad (County Italian, so good, only $2.99), and on my way back, I got stopped at a light on San Fernando. I look to my right, and what do I see? An elderly man peeing on the wall, with his wife trying to cover him on his left. There was no one covering his right side, which is where I was coming from. Don't worry, I didn't take any photos for this post.
