Just a typical childless cat dad married to a childless cat lady. Los Angeles (Koreatown) resident. Originally from Buchannon, WV and Killbuck, OH (my parents had a thing for Bucks apparently).
Half of the books on our bookshelf are Romantasy books. A genre I am not very interested in but my wife adores. However, I make it a point to lurk forums to find out what books to buy for her. I think any author upset over romance are just jelly on how popular the romance genre is. Romance sells.

I moved to Los Angeles so I have an excuse to not care about the Browns, don't make me pay attention now. Most of my memories of the brows are post Ravens so I have only known them to be a terrible team, but I have fond memories of spending time watching the games with my dad so there is that.
People online talk about Siamese cats with a Meezatude. Meanwhile our meezer...
My normally noisy ass neighborhood here in LA is eerily quiet during the Mexico v England match. Only noise was some fireworks during the single Mexico score (before half). If Mexico wins, our neighborhood will be lit. I assume people kept some fireworks aside from the 4th.
My block wasn't in that area, but just learning of this after the fact.

Like many in the US. I went through an extended period of surviving on store brand peanut butter, Maruchan ramen, and Bar-S hotdogs.

Me living in the Koreatown neighborhood of LA suddenly hearing a bunch of fireworks and yelling and car horns: Welp Mexico won.
I think this is a perspective that works on normies. Do you really want a track or softball coach inspecting your kid's gentiles? I do have other reasons (including this) based on actual science and constitutional protections, but whatever works to reach to people.

My biggest lesson learned for me in 2026: As an American, don't weigh in on AC in the UK and EU at large.
Had some makgeolli at The Prince. Also had fried chicken but gobbled it up before realizing I didn't take a photo. Also the Gaylord sign never burns out right. Venus and Jupiter (I think) being goddamn bright.
Going to be flying out to Cleveland to see family in Ohio. Besides some pierogi (I have to force myself to remove the s) and Heini's cheese, I am super excited for Cedar Point. They added three new coasters since I lived there (if you count TT2 as a new coaster).
I wish I had the homemaking and decoration ambitions of Rajiv Surendra. Instead I'm more Peg Bundy.
I choose to think it's magic flight vapors coming from the cat. But seriously, I love Koreatown for this stuff.
I know it's a dumb thing to be impressed about. But a 50 year old record player not only still works but is automatic without any microchips.
We took advantage of the D line extension. It was great! Was able to get from Wilshire/Normandie to Wilshire/Fairfax headache free. We will be able to do museum days without hating the drive or parking.
This is an obscure reference to a terrible movie. But it reminds me of when in Battlefield Earth, the Saturday Night Fever guy sees a desperately hungry human eat a rat and thinks that's what humans want to eat.

My wife can fall asleep with every single light on with no problems. But if there is a piece of electronics in the room with a blue LED she can't. She can fall asleep with the TV blaring but me not putting the toilet seat down super gently is a major disturbance in the force.
I recommend this place! The food isn't something you can get easily elsewhere and is made well and well priced (for LA). The plaza was getting a little run down but has gotten new paint and upgrades around the time this replaced the old restaurant. The Korean place next door is pretty good too!

Yeah! Why blow up children abroad when we can be kidnapping them here in the to good ole' US of A. America First!

As a Koreatown resident, I am surprised the neighborhood isn't known much outside of LA. We have amazing food, you can actually walk, and some of the OG grocery stores can be a fun visit. We have good public transit access (by LA standards). But if you drive, then park at a garage and walk.

Earlier we saw Puppy Bowl and our meezer Dahlia turned her back to it. Also team Ruff was robbed!
Finally took Metrolink! We took it Union Station to San Clemente Pier. No cars involved. Felt like I was in Europe! But with more sun.
I had a conversation about the Muppets and then I went on about, "there is that short guy with the glasses that was everywhere. He was on the Muppets and even did a Daft Punk song." I had lost my wife so I googled him and sure as shit it came up with the answer. Notice, it wasn't Gemini....
One right our fascist Republican lead government hasn't taken away is my right as an American to bitch about the weather even if the sky is falling. Yes there are far greater worries in the world, but it's a slice of normal to bitch about how hot it is in Los Angeles.
