Su-Burbank-ia

I now live in Burbank, CA. And yes, there will be people reading that who will say, "WHAT?! You moved to California??? When did that happen?!" Well, catch up people! And for the rest of you loyal followers, I will now regale you with all sorts of wondrous details about my new form of suburbia.


• Burbank is by far the best town to live in California. So suck it, Beverly Hills!

• We have a Target here! That was actually a requirement before we moved to a new city.

• We live next to grocery store called VONS. It is the same thing as a Safeway, but for some reason they only had room for 4 letters on their sign and why they picked V-O-N and S is beyond me.

• There is also not 1, not 2, but 3 AMC movie theatres in Burbank. Movies are $12 here, unless you go before noon and it’s only $6.

• We have a cute little main street called Magnolia Boulevard. Lots of interesting stores and restaurants. Also for anyone who saw the movie “Valentine’s Day”, Ashton Kutcher’s flower shop was an empty store on Magnolia Blvd. If you look closely out the window and across the street you will the restaurant, Pinocchio’s. We haven’t eaten there yet, but we intend to.

• We have this restaurant called Porto’s. Well, it’s more of a bakery that also sells sandwiches and what not. People go ape shit for this place! It is ALWAYS packed. I don’t really get it, I don’t think it’s that great. However, I haven’t had any of their bakery stuff yet which I suspect is the key to their magic.

• We have an airport in Burbank! It’s small and quiet and I happen to be a fan of it. So if you ever come and visit us, fly into Burbank. LAX (and driving to stupid LAX) sucks.

• I get my eyebrows waxed at a place called Wax Poetic. My lady’s name is Michelle.

• We also have this super sweet candy store called Rocket Fizz. It has every candy you could ever want as well as a vast variety of strange and unusual sodas.

• Burbank does NOT have a Chili’s or an Applebee’s. This annoys me.

• There are, however, quite an abundance of Taco Bells.

• There are a lot of crazy squirrels that live around our apartment building. We think they are planning some kind of a coup.

• And now that we live in Burbank, we are told it got at least 2% awesomer.

Well I guess that’s all for now. Oh, did I mention that it doesn’t snow here and it’s been around 60-70 degrees every day this “winter?” Mwahahahaha!
