Angela Returns, Andy Roddick, Brunch With Batman

Just when I thought I wasn't going to see her again and was sad she was leaving on a bad note, I got a call from my Korean Couch Surfer Angela asking if she could come back to stay in LA for a few more days. Since we had fun together a couple of weeks ago before the dreadful night in Hollywood, I was very excited to have her back. She ended up changing her flight and staying with me for another week. And like her previous stay there were some ups and downs. She seems to attract trouble, at least when she's traveling. This week there was a lost passport, ex-boyfriend drama, missed flights, and some other stuff, but overall it was great to see her again and hang out some more. We spent a lot of time eating and drinking lots of beer in Santa Monica, another trip to Venice Beach (my fourth weekend in a row) where an italian guy lent us some drums and let us join in the drum circle, and she had a celebrity sighting... we shared a table at Benihana with Christian Bale (Batman) and family. Also on Sunday, I got free tickets from Paramount to see Countrywide Classic tennis final between Andy Roddick and Juan Martin Del Potro. It was a quick match. Roddick got his butt kicked by the 19 year-old from Argentina. Here are a few pics from Angela's cam.

Live Octopus, American Teen, OC Fair

Lana from Holland, my third Couch Surfer in two weeks arrived on Wednesday night. First of all, NO, I don't just host cute, young, asian girls...LOL... I just happened to have three in a row! Really! But I'm certainly not complaining. Before this round, my last two CSers were guys (Evan from California and Virgilio from Brazil). On Thursday night, Lana came over Paramount to see me at work and we went to see a screening of American Teen in the Paramount Theatre. After that we went over to Lucy's El Adobe and had some tasty mexican food. We had quite a meal on Friday night too... we met up with my Korean pals, Sharon and Jennifer, and went to Masan Restaurant in Koreatown for some raw fish, sea urchin, and LIVE octopus. Yum! After that I introduced her to Red Mango frozen yogurt which she became addicted to and we went back two more times over the weekend. On Saturday, we did Venice Beach in the afternoon (my third time in three weekends) and I went to a birthday dinner on Saturday night. And on her final day, we went to the Orange County Fair where I got to try a new food... a deep-fried White Castle cheeseburger. Nom. Nom. Nom. Here are some photos from Friday night.
