Ikea’s Swedish Meatballs. They’re good

February 24, 2010

IKEA is definitely one of my favorite places to grab a bite to eat. I was in the area after buying a new dock for my iPod shuffle (awkward Craigslist transaction btw!) and made my way just across the other side of Texas Street leading to IKEA’s Mission Valley location. The cafeteria style seating wont win the hearts of everyone, but knowing that your food comes from environmentally and socially responsible sources definitely leaves some room for comfort. I had the pleasure of enjoying a plate of their coveted Swedish Meatball plate and a side of their steamed veggies. Looks good, no?

edit: the iPod dock that I bought ended up being fake and useless. Bummer. I’m such an idiot.

FRIDAY, February 26th: Blends “Five Year Function” at El Dorado

February 23, 2010

Very rarely will I post event flyers on this blog. But this event is pretty special. This Friday, BLENDS San Diego will be celebrating their 5-year anniversary shindig, Five Year Function (F.Y.F.). For those that don’t know me, I’ve been working at BLENDS San Diego since its opening and it has been my mainstay for a good portion of my working life. Presented by Victory Nightlife, the night’s music will be provided by MindzAlike’s all-stars, Mark Marcelo and DJ Julz. This will definitely be awesome.

The night also lies on my birthday weekend, so come say hello and congratulate me on making it to 27 (still alive!). Free giveaways/raffle drawings will also be held through the night.

When: Friday, February 26th, 2010
Where: El Dorado Bar and Cocktail Lounge. 1030 Broadway. San Diego, CA 92101

Oceanside, CA to Downtown San Diego. 80 Miles on a fixed gear

February 17, 2010

Every time I see my friend Allan (right) riding his bike Downtown, chances are, he’d probably rode over 20 miles to get there. On this occasion, he was coming from Oceanside on a President’s Day ride with his friend Lucas. This is about 40 miles each way… on a fixed gear… with a healthy dosage of uphill action along Torrey Pines. Yikes!

I want a house in Rolando Village. San Diego, CA

February 6, 2010

I was watching the local news last night and got a late pass on discovering the simple beauty of San Diego’s Rolando Village. This neighborhood is right out of a black-and-white 50’s sitcom… but in color. As described by Jim D. Newland, Rolando was “named after the rolling topography of the land—with a popular 1920s ‘Spanish-style’ linguistic twist”. During the early development of Rolando Village, it was touted to be San Diego’s version of what Hollywood living is to Los Angeles. Click the images to make them larger.
