Birthday Bash

On Saturday we went to a birthday dinner for our friend, Alli. Alli needed of a fun night out for quite a while, so we were happy to be part of that.

We went to a place called, Cobras & Matadors. Sounds interesting, doesn't it? This restaurant's cuisine is what is called Tapas. Tapas is basically appetizer sized meals that you order for the table and share with each other. Now I'm not talking chicken wings, quesadillas, onion rings or jalapeno poppers. It's Spanish cuisine I don't even remember the names of any of the dishes, but think potato/chick pea pancakes and slow curred meats and goat cheese. This isn't my usual fare, but I found enough to eat(like bacon wrapped Prawns and some other things I can't pronounce). Of course, the pitcher of Sangria helped too!

We ended up at Bob's Big Boy for dessert afterwards to close out the evening.



It was fun and I hope Alli had as much fun as we did.

Spotted - "It's Miley"

As we arrived at the parking lot to visit some shops on Ventura Avenue on Saturday, I noticed a ruckus taking place up ahead. I saw a group of people causing a commotion as I got out of the car. It didn't take long to figure out what was going on when I saw all the cameras flashing. It was the paparazzi surrounding a star. Soon I realized it was no one I cared about.

Miley Cyrus (aka. Hanna Montana) and her boyfriend were walking to his car. Once I saw who it was, I wasn't so surprised with the amount of paparazzi that were surrounding them. With that many cameras It had to be either Britney, Lindsey, or a short list of other stars that are hounded on a daily basis.

I noticed an interesting ploy the paparazzi used to get as many pictures as possible. One of them parked directly behind Miley and her boyfriend's car so that they could control when they left and how many pictures they could get of her.

Wow, I don't think I ever want to be famous like that.

Sorry the picture isn't very good, but the iPhone doesn't have a zoom on the camera.
