Los Feliz is definitely a nice spot to hang out with all the different stuff they have to eat, drink or peruse, and depending on the company it can turn into a place to remember. That was the case for me, one of the nicest days ever, and this from an outing that involved Keanu Reeves. I know, I am really pushing it, but it is true.

It was an afternoon/evening that included coffee and more coffee, the premiere day of Constantine with Reeves, Mexican in Boyle Heights and lots of conversation. Very engaging conversation, matter of fact.

First, about the movie. It sucked big time, and there is no other way to even bother describing it. I didn't buy it when Keanu played a physician on Something's Gotta Give, and he simply cannot call himself an exorcist either. Bad stuff.

Dinner at El Tepeyac was incredibly good. This hole in the wall has great gooey quesadillas and a mistaken identity chile verde burrito that is also very tasty. And by mistaken identity I mean that it looked more like chile colorado because the sauce was more red than green. You know? it could have been green, but I guess that was out of the question this evening.

The long conversation projected me to a series of uncanny coincidences, many of those possibly considered paranormal by some people, including myself. There is definitely an incredible force out there interweaving existences, and I like it.

Driving back to the South Bay was unsettling at times on the 110, just south of the 105. I hadn't been out in such rain for a long while: at times it felt like heavy rain hitting Unai, other times like hail. The lightning were vicious too, so much that I can still hear them. I felt as we were hydroplaning so I decided to get off the freeway and continue on surface streets. It's reality check, and I am happy that I made it home safe after such a great day.
