damn near perfect.

i just got home from an amaaaazing weekend. first of all, the weather was effing perfect the whole time. saturday i went over to brentwood to hang out with danG and his roommate benS. we went to mozza for drinks and dinner. while waiting for a spot at the pizzeria mozza bar, we had some wine at osteria mozza, where an acquaintance of theirs works (as a sommelier, i think?). for dinner we split three appetizers (eggplant caponata, meatballs al forno, white beans alla toscana bruschette) and two pizzas (fennel sausage, panna, red onion & scallions and speck, bufala mozzarella, olive tapanade & oregano). everything was absolutely amazing. afterwards we went to hyde on sunset - i felt so LA being in such a celebrity hangout - i guess they know someone who was able to get our names on the list. and i did have a celebrity sighting! i was less than two feet away from john legend!! pretty damn cool.

sunday morning, danG and i had brunch at cora's coffee shoppe in santa monica - i had a very yummy tuna panino, and then we and benS drove up to a malibu beach. i was getting major deja vu when i realized it was the beach my high school class used to go to for our start-of-the-year retreat. random! we afternooned in malibu before heading back to brentwood, then i made them dinner (because they literally didn't let me pay for anything this weekend), we watched the matador, and grabbed some pinkberry. i had such a great time - i really haven't had this much fun in a long time - and the weather was perfect and beautiful the whole time too. i really really really really can't wait to move back to this coast.
