The Lakers playoff series is completely nuts. I'm a lifelong Lakers fan and I love this particular team more then I ever thought possible, but their inconsistency and ups are downs are making me insane. The only thing that's been keeping me on an even keel are tasty tacos from the city's best taco spots. I hit King Taco yesterday during the day, and on Tuesday I'll probably be working in Santa Monica so I'll go to Tacos Por Favor or Chihuahua on Lincoln. With a belly full of delicious tacos, I can remain calm enough to watch the game with a minimum amount of leaping out of my seat, screaming like an idiot, or high-fiving randoms in the bar. Go Lakers.
