Teppan Kazamidori was our fav Izakaya in Torrance, CA. Where else (in Torrance) could you get grilled bacon-wrapped asparagus, different choices for yakitori/teppan "tapas" along with a cold Kirin Ichiban! Mmmmm… Kirin and bacon-wrapped asparagus.

Anyway, we were craving it when we were driving home from Mammoth Lakes, then last week, then yesterday when we finally were about to set a reservation and found out it was closed! My sis and I didn't believe the person on the other line so we decided to visit the place and it was indeed gone. So yah… RIP.

In other news, we've made great progress around the house… cleaning-wise. We've got our loverly tree up, too.

In case I forget to login on Monday evening…. Happy Christmas!

I think I have over 200 DVDs in my collection (in that link, it says I have 187 but I haven't updated it in a few months and I've bought/received quite a bit of DVDs by then!) Anyway, I have 2 DVD tower holders. One is a rather nice design (has a bit of style) and the other is your run-of-the-mill MDF-and-metal-storage tower. Combined capacity is 150 DVDs. The rest are spilled either on top or on stacked the floor >_<

My sis doesn't want me to get any more of the 'modern' looking DVD storage towers cos it really clashes with the living room furniture (think old world/ornate French-style light-coloured wood). So when I took the day off today to do a bit of cleaning before the holidays, I literally just sat on my bum, surfing the web for an hour searching for a DVD cabinet! I have yet to find one… Pah!
