Weirdest Thing I Saw Today...

so over the weekend im on balboa ave. and i see two people on a bike. BUT!...it was a tandem bike. not like the one where someones behind the driver, but it was ONE BIKE. the seat post was pretty much a T and had two seats side-by-side that came off it.
each rider used one foot to pedal. i don't remember how the handlebars were. it might have been extended, but it didn't look like it.

Weirdest Thing I Saw Today...

yesterday on my way home, i'm on 805s and i see some guy texting on some pink phone while he's driving. when i got closer, i noticed it was a calculator! what the?!

"you just gonna do your taxes ness? you just gonna do your taxes?"

He Did What?!!?!

saturday morning the gf and i go to el zarape for lunch. while waiting outside for our order we see aziz ansari! guess he had a show at hob that night and he was doin' his taco tour. i told him how awesome his intro for kanye was at the VMAs. definitely a cool guy.

Weirdest Thing I Saw Today...

yesterday night i'm at the light and some guy in a full out running fit is jogging through the intersection with his left hand holding an ice cream cone. he kept his left arm still absorbing the shock of his jog to keep the ice cream well balanced on the cone. awesome.

Do I Have Five Guys In My Teeth?

i know i haven't blogged in months, but after zagat rated 5guys over in-n-out for best burger i had to check it out myself.

i'll start off with just the burger...
i can see how this place could be good if you can't get an in-n-out burger from where you live. it wasn't thaaat bad, but it's NOT as good as in-n-out. the bun wasn't as good and the cheese on my burger wasn't fully meleted. they don't have a spread but you have an option to choose mayo/ketchup/mustard. i got all in hopes to simulate some sort of spread. also got grilled onions, which weren't up to par as in-n-out. they have a bacon burger but i opted out to try a burger that resembles something in-n-out would serve (to make a somewhat fair comparison). the meat was pretty good, but i'll have to disagree with zagat. in-n-out!!

now, overall i think the place has a striking resemblance with in-n-out. i didn't like the way the burgers were just wrapped in foil and contrary to what the menu says, a burger/cheseburger/etc. is really a double double style burger with two patties. a "little burger" isn't something for a kids meal, but *i think* a single patty normal burger. also, their fries are ok. i LOVE in-n-out fries all the way down to the way it's served in a nice tray. at 5guys, you get your fries in a cup and they have normal 5guys fries and cajun fries.

pretty good burgers. not better than in-n-out.

- 545a: on the road
- 715a: s'bucks & pee break
- 730a: start the drive from the bottom of the mtn
- 1100a: parked at the farthest summit lot (took 3.5hrs to get up there. didn't even park in the brownie lot, the garstin lot! bet you didn't know that lot even existed, huh)
- 1145a: after 45mins in the shuttle line they announce half day lift tix are sold out! only night sessions avail
- noon: leave bear mtn

also got rear ended on the way up =\.

there is some good out of today though...
- spent time w/ the gf and monica.

- visited my prawn brother and his gf. watched district 9 over islands.
