J and I had a fun weekend. Friday night we watched “The Saint”. If you don’t know the movie, go and get it right now and indulge in Val Kilmer’s acting skills. You will be delighted. I want you to pay special attention to when he’s portraying the German guy and tell me if you find anything particularly German about him ;) His character definitely feeds the cliché, to tell you that much.
Saturday we headed out real early to enjoy a yummy breakfast at Cafe 50’s, then went walking in the Santa Monica mountains. It was a beautiful sunny day. In the evening, we went to the studio to enjoy a little private concert by J and Aaron. With J’s permission, I’ll try to get an audio treat to you soon. Here’s the visual:
Sunday was nice and quiet – oh yeah, laundry day. J and I like to turn doing laundry into an “adventure”. We bring our books, get some coffee at the coffee shop at the corner and talk about this and that :) like that, laundry is done in a second! :)
Today we went to Ventura and spent some time with J’s Mom. We went to the beach, walked on the Pier and had some lunch at the Pier restaurant. It was a beautiful day. Because of the famous St. Ana winds, we had temperatures up in the mid-70’s [about 23ºC] with very low humidity, which apparently and very unfortunately caused a fire in the Malibu canyon and resulted in the loss of at least 8 houses on the Malibu coast :( It was on the news all night and kind of scary.

January 9, 2007 at 2:55 pmI just put “The Saint” on my netflix queue. :o)
Sound like a fun, relaxed weekend. I am glad you are enjoying L.A.

January 9, 2007 at 3:42 pmI heard about the fire. I think I also just heard they stopped it.
One question: do you always update to the latest WordPress release? (2.0.6 was just released and they say it contains important security releases, but to be honest, I feel kinda lazy and I’d rather just wait for 2.1 to be released.)
By the way, it was 14°C here today, not quite as warm as L.A. but very warm for January in Germany as you know!

Going sailing on Sydney harbour tonight for work – oh its all tough I tell ya! lol

January 12, 2007 at 10:10 pmWe are freezing our butts off…at night the temperature drops down into the 20s. Good to hear that you are still dealing with the warmer Fahrenheiten. ;-)
Gosh, I wish I could be in Cali.
