Sleepy Blogger

I was just going to check email and crawled into bed as I haven’t slept very well for the past few nights. But first, I have to share with you the good news.

I AM a hobbit

I’m small. I like to sing. I like to dance. I like to drink, and at times drink more than I should. Except for the hairy feet part. I think I am a hobbit. Especially now that I realize I eat like one. I really do eat like a hobbit during the week at least the first half of the day. First Breakfast: One Yakult and gummy vitamin.

Eat For a Cure

So the Lesser Weevils had our little fundraiser dinner tonight at Thai Issan in Cerritos.  Samone and Tom, the owner, graciously donated 10% of our tab to AIDS Walk. And they are promising 15% donation from now until June 27, one week after the walk (which I can still turn my money in, I think) at their other restaurant, the Delightful Crepes Cafe in Long Beach.  The Yelp review for the place is a little iffy.  Even I who had been there once think the place still needs a little work.  But they ARE working on improving the menu.  Give...
