It’s the end of a long hot week in LA.  Here are some things that are carrying me happily into the weekend:

Rediscovering my huge cache of dog photos, particularly those of mongrels found round the world.

Chef Bellini Pastafungu making a scrumptious paella that will put the “rumble from your stomach and move it into your butt.” That is exactly how it works.

My favorite Thai foods make it to the top of LA’s cheap delicious eats list.  Good thing I have them on speed dial.

Possibly finding time to make something this weekend that reminds me of Greece, one of my favorite places in the whole world.

Lusting after impossibly expensive things to wear for the chilly nights at Burning Man.

The Perseids are peaking this Saturday night/Sunday morning with perfect viewing conditions (a new moon).  Definitely going to make a trek to somewhere dark and be reminded of how, as Lauryn Hill says, Nothing Even Matters.
