Somebody made it rain, so I spent most of the day checking out the Aroma Cafe in Studio City. I needed some relaxation after the cattle call at Central Casting. Everyone wants to be the next STAR!!!! Annnyway, a neon sign and some really big old trees (good work on the curb appeal) welcome to a crowded foyer/counter area where you better know what you are doing. Otherwise you get NEXTED. Once you order you can either dine on the noisy but lush patio or the "library"-- a really cool little room with antique and new books for purchase as well as a fireplace. It took awhile, but I eventually made my way to a charmingly worn in purple valour chair in the corner, and I didn't want to leave… until this sleepy looking girl from the bookstore told me the power-cord to my laptop was a "hazard" (yeah, maybe if we were in middle America and too fat to see our feet, but this is LA?!) I played calm, unplugged, and absorbed the Frou Frou tunes emanating from the patio speakers. Then, shortly after I plugged in to a corner, my power cord seemingly out of harms way, I was informed by an employee that plugging in is "not allowed" (something about an old house and circuits frying) and that wifi is DEFINITELY not available. I packed up, sprinted through the rain to the comforts of my vehicle. Rogue puddle created a swamp in my new Tod's on the way. F my life and this place. The Aroma was all but pleasing today.
