Breakfast is my lunch today. I decided to eat the Tuna Ahi salad from Swingers on Beverly/Laurel today at 5am based on the timing of my dentist appointment at 9am. There's no way I can eat within a few hours after going to the dentist because it would feel like dirtying up his handywork, much like driving to Las Vegas right after having your car detailed.

Swingers is the L.A. 24 hour hipster Denny's, but purposely retro ambiance aside, the menu is eclectic, always fresh, and made from scratch. I had half of it in the restaurant, cozied up in a round booth by myself on my sidekick as MC5 played on the joint's juke. I looked around and there were a few other groups in there about my age and two MAWS (model/actress/whatevers) at the bar. This place is great for people watching and even celeb sightings. Once Missy Monroe, Jasmin Byrne, Jake Malone, a few guys from the RLD office and I went there on my suggestion to thwart Missy's request for Mel's Diner...gag. Jake and the guys were all wearing their RLD jackets and eating burgers when, ironically, who came in but Paris Hilton.

So, there was Paris Hilton in one corner of the restaurant and the crew from Red Light District in the other. Mind you, this was only 1 week after RLD started selling Paris's sex tape.

Missy dared us, in full RLD regalia, to approach Miss Hilton and discuss her blow job. We never did and left it as a funny Hollywood tale. Missy and I did get a close look at her later in line for the ladies room- great skin, but a bit of freckling and crystal blue eyes. Pretty, actually.

I had the rest of my Ahi salad to go after the MC5 cd finished. Despite each seared slice over a stack of mixed greens and steamed veggies being simply amazing, I was near full. Even the trendy restaurants are giving way to over sized portions. I grabbed my order, gave my uber hot waitress a fat tip, and rolled on out. Somewhere around Hollywood/Highland, I saw a homeless guy holding up a cardboard 'Will Work 4 Food' sign. I slowed down and slid down my window enough to get my salad through to him. He opened the bag and closed it back. "I don't like Romaine lettuce," he said and slid away down the Walk of Stars.
