I approach my trip with renewed energy today. Maybe it’s because I did not stay out until 7 am last night? Anyway on my way to lunch today I noticed two interesting art installations on the sides of buildings. They are made of of sequins, like the Sparkletts water trucks, except they have pictures of Icelandic scenery:

Today I am eating lunch at b5, which is the kinda of place I wish LA had more of: Spacious, tasteful design (well, maybe not the horse penis), subdued ambience (“Song For My Father” playing on the stereo), and yeah, really good food. I’m eating seafood stir-fry/curry with local scallops, tiger prawns and langoustines. Yay! The scallops, in particular, are pillowy and sweet. Mmm. Do I wish it weren’t $40 for lunch? Maybe.

They even gave it a squeeze-bottle swirl of hot sauce *hearts*
