And welcome home! (Several days ago, heh). All of the juices sound so damn *good* - it's so hard to find different, all juice drinks here. Way too much apple juice as filler and stupid corn syrup and why does *everyone* want to pair strawberry with banana? Stoppit!

As much as i like doing stuff with a friend, or Cat - it's always fun to have adventures on your own, too. Glad you had such a good time, and thanks for sharing all the awesome adventures and pictures. :)

yeah, i don't buy things with HFCS in them. & i fucking hate apple & white grape filler.

thanks for reading along & caring about my travels. i appreciate your attentions. ^_^

I must hit up Lana for eating recommendations next time I go to Melbourne. Vegans have the best restaurants. If we'd met up in Sydney I probably would have taken you to Newtown, where one of my top places to eat is the Green Gourmet, and is a vegan dumpling restaurant probably similar to the one you guys visited (though there are fifty bajillion other places to eat in Newtown, so we wouldn't have been stuck for choice).

CHIA PODS. How good are those things. I do make my own now, though, because I made the mistake of feeding some to my baby and she decided it was the greatest thing in the known universe; my child is a hipster. Shit, I did just look at the website you linked and realised they have twenty flavours, my local shops only sell three. o_O OUTRAGEOUS. Also, agreed on the preshafruit.

It sounds like you had a fantastic time, your blogs are great. Thank you so much for the detailed writeup :)

dude, the chia pod was shockingly good. & non-newtonian. i swear.

thanks for reading all my 116k+ of text. :)

It's only 116k if it's loaded in Microsoft Word 97 which "saved" files by doing a complete memory dump of the word processor. <3

huh? it was 116k before i added all the html for the links. i wrote it into one giant textfile while on the trip.

If somehow I had known that you liked the whole escape room thing, I totally would have arranged for us to do an escape room in LA. There's one in San Francisco and one in San Jose as well.

I haven't done any of them yet. It seems like the sort of thing that one shouldn't do frivolously, since you can't really do them again.

But I am, of course, an aficionado of the games. 8)

Also... :O A PRESENT?!?!?!? FOR ME?!?!?!? But I only just figured out the location of honor where my other one is going to be placed!

[lishd]

dude we still have plans for a four-day LA weekend. we can do it then!

yes it's just a tiny present! it will not need a real location of honor... but i do need to get on that. email me your address willya?
