Dinner and Geek Love

We're in California, continues...

After our cuisine question in London, eating out every night for 7 weeks, we've been eating in since we got back to California. I gained 8 pounds in London (shreeek) and am hoping to lose it here on the mountain. Except I've gained two more (wtf) so I'm approaching diet crisis mode (apples and sparking water).

But we missed our friends while we were away so we will still be going out to our favorite California restaurants. Last night we had dinner with David and Hanneke at Fonda. Dinner was amazing, as always, and it was great seeing David and Hanneke who are fabulous and hilarious.

Of course, I always inflict my camera-for-the-blog on our friends and David and Hanneke kindly tolerate me. (Not everyone does; we have friends whose photos do not appear on the blog. Yea, shocking, I know.) David had his camera too so we ended up taking photos of each other taking photos of each other. LOL!

Geek Love

Wesley Crusher loves us! I'm verklempt!

When we got home from dinner we discovered that Wil Wheaton had talked about his love of Magnatune on his blog. He is one of the coolest guys on the planet and we've been fans for many, many years, particularly when he was Wesley Crusher in my favorite tv show ever, Star Trek: The Next Generation. We also enjoy his books and blog, so for Magnatune to be admired by him is one of the best compliments ever. Thanks, Wil!
