The Snark-O-Plex (my apartment) is moving from West LA to Santa Monica, sometime before or on December 6.  If you’d like to trade a discount for some SWEET PUBLICITY on this here Los Angeles blog, please let us know.

(Looking for licensed and insured movers only, thanks!)

I love gnocchi.  Like seriously, I love me some gnocchi.  The Girl and I were walking down Westwood Blvd one day and I almost passed out when I saw the menu outside of Pomodoro Trattoria.  I immediately renamed this place “Gnocchi Land” and swore that I would return to try the gnocchi.

Ok, anyone wanting to buy jsnark or I gifts this year, here is an idea that will only cost you $5!  Threadless is having a $5 shirt holiday sale.  now if you follow the Snark often like I know you do, then you’ll recall i am a Threadless junkie as seen here, and here, and finally here.

So if you love the Snark and me you’ll click here and buy me a shirt…or buy yourself one!

Every time I go in here I’m completely stressed out because of the douche-factor, but after a giant Corona I feel right at home.  Does Corona turn me into a douche?  Gotta give Cabo Cantina props for having one of the best happy hours on the west side.

LOL!  The guy in the cube next to me tripped over his keyboard cable this morning landing on his face.  I tried to act concerned but could not help but to laugh out loud at him.  So over lunch he went out and bought a Logitech Cordless Desktop, (Model number EX100) at Target for only $14.99.  That is cheap ass hell, and since we work at a cheap ass Internet Company you have to provide this shiit yourself.  Can you fricken beleive that!  1/2 the people in my row of cubes (I work in a fricken cube farm) bought thier own flat panel monitors.  So if you work at a cheap ass company or want to go cordless at home, go Target now.

As luck would have it, the Snark was down on Olvera St yesterday, which just happened to be where thousands of “No on 8″ supporters decided to go as well.  From what I could gather they started downtown and marched toward China town and then back around past Olvera Street and on to Union station.  The crowds were big and by the time we left at 2pm it was a zoo to get out.  When getting on the freeway there were tons of people on the overpasses waving signs at crowds while traffic crawled and cars honked.  Looked like an amazing turnout.

It’s official, I’m dumping Don Antonio’s for Gilbert’s El Indio.

Why?  The food is better, the prices are better, it’s easier to park, uh, the food is better.  It really is the best Mexican restaurant in the Santa Monica/West LA area.  We’ve tried them all, Don Antonio’s, Lares, el Cholo, …Baja Fresh.  Ok we haven’t tried them all but so far this is the standout. Yeah the cash only thing blows, and yeah I’d probably order a few more rounds if I was sure I had enough cash on me, but hey, thanks for saving me from a hangover Gilbert’s.  Plus, you can have a couple margaritas and then walk down to the Daily Pint and throw your card down.

I should add though, that when my parents come to visit I’ll probably take them to Don Antonio’s because I like the cave room where Heidi and Spencer sit.

Why can’t people drive or walk down this street like everyone else drives or walks down the street?  First there’s the aggro power walkers, and then this jackass cuts me off and decides to make mocking hand gestures at me.  He then started shifting lanes back and forth so that I couldn’t pass.

Former Bostonian driving skills won out when I was able to get around him and then refuse to let him pass.  Take that 5mpn438.

PS you look like a soccer mom in that thing.
