St. Valentine's Day massacre!

Yess, it was a massacre but not the notorious blood-bath that immediately comes to mind. No, this is a massacre of a very large mountain of Japanese food!

Let us all be reminded that making reservations for a nice Valentine's dinner is a must. Unfortunately for us, we didn't think it all that necessary with the seemingly hundreds of lovely restaurants nearby here in Hollywood.

First choice was Koji's Japan for some Shabu Shabu @ the Hollywood & Highland complex. Full, of course. Strolling down the Blvd determined to have a romantic V-day dinner, we slide into Geisha House.... no dice. Seating reservations only. Continuing on towards Hollywood & Vine..., oh there's Beso. ..also full. ugh. Rounding the corner, look... there's Katsuya ... lol... don't even think about it. Not tonight, anyways.

Just when it couldn't look any more bleak... how about Kabuki? Looks kinda full. Two hot Latinas in front of us requesting a table for four. hmmm. there's only two of them. wtf? We're hungrier than hostages. The hostess returns and seats us immediately. Nice. A couple Mai Tai's and a huge boat (yess, i said 'boat'), of a whole variety of yummy food and we're stuffed in no time. Check please. Turns out the two hotties sitting just across from us were waiting for blind dates who finally showed up fashionably late (clearly strangers as they all shook hands as people do meeting for the first time). Interesting. Seems to me they all did pretty good, though. :) Wait, are those boys twins? haha.

Nice dinner and hop over to Arch Light to catch the 9:55 showing of Valentine's Day. But wait... lines all the way out the door and a bold notice on the display saying SOLD OUT. hmmm. Proper planning was the lesson of this evening, for sure. Oh well, a nice stroll down Sunset, passing the Psychiatry Museum Of Death, which looks terribly scary yet interesting and the same time. (Note to self: come back to check it out.) Finally at La Brea and pop into CHHC for some tasty edibles and on home for some Valentine's Day passion to end what turned out to be a wonderful evening.

Isn't love grand?!
