FOR FRIENDS FAR & WIDE.

	27 March 2004 PHOTO DIARY. Well, my 32nd birthday has come and gone. What a superb day. Some highlights: Took the day off work. "You should never work on your birthday," quoth Nicki. Received a wacky "Give Your Meat" t-shirt from Eric over in Tokyo. Played tennis in the afternoon with Nicki and Jung. (My topspin is in its infancy.) Had dim sum at Royal Star, a traditional & authentic Chinese mega-restaurant inexplicably located in Santa Monica. Two words: fried mochi. Got treated by Big Bro and Nicki to dinner at the uber-hip A.O.C. on 3rd, which serves fancy-pants tapas nuevas with a heavy French influence. Me and Jung share the same birthday, so it was a two-fer. On the way out, we glimpsed demi-celeb Ryan Seacrest sitting at a crappy table way in the back by the kitchen doors. Went to Sweet Mary Jane's for dessert on Melrose. Three words: Almond Roca Cake. Stayed up late drinking wine and watching good ole MTV2 while Nik and Nancy Drew snoozed on the couch.   Back to main 26 March 2004 PHOTO DIARY. All this talk about gay marriage these days has me thinking of the state of Vermont, which is located in the far northeast corner of the United States. And when I think of Vermont, I think immediately of curry. But not just any curry -- I'm talking about the traditional New England variety, seasoned with just a touch of apple and honey, that goes so delectably well with a steaming cup of spiced cider on a snowy day.   Back to main 24 March 2004 PHOTO DIARY. Ah yes. Shylock's lesser-known athletic brother. Located in Venice, California, see. The miles keep racking up during my daily commute. Today, my my scooter suddenly felt...evil.   Back to main 22 March 2004 PHOTO DIARY. Ah yes. Coffee burgers, my favorite.   Back to main Archives. 17 August 2003 — 24 August 2003 — 31 August 2003 — 07 September 2003 — 14 September 2003 — 02 November 2003 — 09 November 2003 — 16 November 2003 — 23 November 2003 — 30 November 2003 — 07 December 2003 — 01 February 2004 — 08 February 2004 — 15 February 2004 — 22 February 2004 — 29 February 2004 — 07 March 2004 — 14 March 2004 — 21 March 2004 — 28 March 2004 — 04 April 2004 — 11 April 2004 — 18 April 2004 — 25 April 2004 — 02 May 2004 — 09 May 2004 — 16 May 2004 — 23 May 2004 — 30 May 2004 — 06 June 2004 — 13 June 2004 — 20 June 2004 — 27 June 2004 — 04 July 2004 — 11 July 2004 — 18 July 2004 — 25 July 2004 — 01 August 2004 — 08 August 2004 — 15 August 2004 — 22 August 2004 — 29 August 2004 — 05 September 2004 — 12 September 2004 — 19 September 2004 — 26 September 2004 — 03 October 2004 — 10 October 2004 — 17 October 2004 — 24 October 2004 — 31 October 2004 — 07 November 2004 — 14 November 2004 — 21 November 2004 — 28 November 2004 — 05 December 2004 — 12 December 2004 — 19 December 2004 — 26 December 2004 — 02 January 2005 — 09 January 2005 — 23 January 2005 — 30 January 2005 — 06 February 2005 — 13 February 2005 — 20 February 2005 — 27 February 2005 — 13 March 2005 — 20 March 2005 — 27 March 2005 — 03 April 2005 — 10 April 2005 — 17 April 2005 — 24 April 2005 — 01 May 2005 — 08 May 2005 — 22 May 2005 — 29 May 2005 — 05 June 2005 — 12 June 2005 — 19 June 2005 — 26 June 2005 — 03 July 2005 — 10 July 2005 — 17 July 2005 — 24 July 2005 — 31 July 2005 — 07 August 2005 — 14 August 2005 — 28 August 2005 — 04 September 2005 — 25 September 2005 — 02 October 2005 — 09 October 2005 — 30 October 2005 — 06 November 2005 — 13 November 2005 — 20 November 2005 — 27 November 2005 — 04 December 2005 — 18 December 2005 — 01 January 2006 — 08 January 2006 — 15 January 2006 — 22 January 2006 — 05 February 2006 — 26 February 2006 — 12 March 2006 — 19 March 2006 — 26 March 2006 — 02 April 2006 — 16 April 2006 — 23 April 2006 — 30 April 2006 — 07 May 2006 — 14 May 2006 — 21 May 2006 — 04 June 2006 — 18 June 2006 — 25 June 2006 — 16 July 2006 — 23 July 2006 — 06 August 2006 — 13 August 2006 — 03 September 2006 — 17 September 2006 — 01 October 2006 —
