Out of control is the only way to describe this place. $16.99 buys you anything they have to come to your table. Beef? ribs, chicken, pork, name it, and it’ll come endlessly until you can’t eat anymore. I suggest the ribs as being the best stuff there is, but the pork, which was actually sweet was quite great too. You couldn’t stop eating it. You get the banchan which is okay/fair, the egg that comes in those black bowls below are actually really good, and you can’t help but eat it, even though you’re thinking, “this is filler!” The magic of this place is that they can handle huge groups. Make a reservation, and enjoy, this place is actually a lot of fun, and if you’re with big eaters, then this is the spot. I ate a lot of beef. The chicken didn’t impress, and the thin beef (I didn’t know which this was) was just okay. Stick to the pork and the ribs. It was cousin Mike’s birthday dinner. His girl, Eugenia got a part on the Christian Slater TV show. Last question: does anyone know about Dream Cake? Heard of it? Is this a real cake? That’s a dream cake. Is this something that extends world wide? Or is this a California thing? Manna Korean bbq3377 W. Olympic blvdLA 323 733 8516

Guess what? It's guava season. See the haul? What I do is walk down the street and around the corner, and look on the ground, there's guavas, down the street the other way, there's two more homes and the trees shed fruit that sprawls on the sidewalk. People walk on them, bikes ride on them, and birds pick at them. I scored today. You're seeing the product of three different front yard's fruit. I...
Guess what? It’s guava season. See the haul? What I do is walk down the street and around the corner, and look on the ground, there’s guavas, down the street the other way, there’s two more homes and the trees shed fruit that sprawls on the sidewalk. People walk on them, bikes ride on them, and birds pick at them. I scored today. You’re seeing the product of three different front yard’s fruit. I don’t pick them from the trees at all, since that would be fucked up of me, but if they’re on the ground, it’s fair game. Notice how some have stripes and some are smooth. It’s weird how some trees give up bigger fruit, some more round, and some look like tops. I’m sure it’s probably the same breed of tree, but each acts differently. If you’re into guavas, then this is the time to hunt some down. Eat just the middles! Some guavas are red in the middle, but these stay light. This one organization does some mapping of fruit trees.

Ever had an unreasonably nasty neighbor? They’re a pain in the ass, kind of like getting a splinter that you can’t pull out. There’s this lady who lives below me and she’s one of those nasty ones. When I moved in three years ago, I was unpacking boxes at around 9:30 at night and she came up to complain about the noise. I told her I was sorry but that I wasn’t actually making that much noise and I would try to be more quiet. Mind you they live two floors below me. Then just as I was about to shut the door she started going off about how her son gets up early and how I woke him up. I felt bad because she made it seem like he was a toddler that I woke up so I apologized again and shut the door. A couple days later I was in the same lift with them and saw that the son was a teenager, I highly doubt he was the one complaining because he had his ipod on blasting music.So after that incident I thought, well I’m new here so I should be nice, so the next time I ran into her in the lift I smiled and said hi but she had nothing but dirty looks in return. She has also been very rude to my girlfriend as well. One time, while riding the same lift, she even had the audacity to cough back into the elevator while exiting. I mean she actually stepped out then turned her head back towards the elevator and coughed at us. Is that really neccessary? You would figure in the three years that I have living here that she would chill out. I even caught her twice snooping around and looking into the window of my car and the car of a friend of mine.Then yesterday, as I was carring a very heavy box out of the lobby, she was on the other side of the door about to come in. When she saw me, she decided to take her time going in by slowly blocking the door and then pushed it inwards into me so I had to take several steps back. As I walked past her she told me that I needed to be patient! Not once in all the times that she has been rude to me or my girlfriend have we ever said anything back. We’ve always been polite and just ingored her nasty comments or looks or actions because I feel that people like that will get what they deserve. She’s just a bitter, nasty, over weight, unhappy divorcee house wife that has nothing better to do than to hold a three year grudge for nothing. When she was messing with me yesterday I wanted to ask her what the hell her problem was but then I decided she did not even deserve that. When you come across idiots like this, the best thing you can do...

Cyclops chalkware banks. I found the dude cyclops at a flea market for $4. It's amazing, isn't it? That little patch of chest hair that's blue like his hair, the Barney Rubble Club, four toes... He's amazing by himself. But imagine, he has a woman! She came in the mail today and she's bigger than him! She's a bit rougher and holding a club. Could there be a little version, like a kid? Would that...
