3 Pieces of Advice

Monday, August 4th, 2008

The 5th and Mission parking garage in SF does not subsidize parking, even if you see a movie at the nearby Metreon.  Expect to pay around $9 to park if you see a movie.  Do not arrive 5 minutes before the start of a sold-out showing of the Dark Knight ...

Blame my lack of sleep on The Wire

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

Jenny and I signed up for Netflix for the sole purpose of watching The Wire. This way, we wouldn't have to fight off fiends to get a hold of the DVDs at the Mountain View Public Library (by the way - that place is like a free Blockbuster).  Anyway, we ...

I saw it, I saw it!

Saturday, June 14th, 2008

Jenny and I just finished watching Monsoon Wedding which was quite enjoyable.  We managed to scarf down garlic noodles from Thanh Long, two pieces of chicken from KFC, and some sushi from Momoya.  We were basically in a food coma after the movie, so we let the credits run while ...

And your American Idol is…

Wednesday, May 21st, 2008

Yup, it's finally that moment.  The moment where I stop posting about American Idol!  But damn, the last two nights were some amazing performances.  The David vs. David finals were incredible to watch.  Both finalists are amazingly nice and real people, and I can assure you that I would have ...

American Idol Season 7: Bye Bye Jason Castro

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008

I know, I know - I predicted Syesha to leave tonight, but given how Jason Castro performed last night, his departure wasn't at all surprising.  I think MSNBC summed it up well when they wrote: It was obvious after Tuesday night that Jason Castro was ready to go. He struggled with ...

American Idol Season 7 - Carly Smithson exits

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

Carly Smithson was voted off this week.  Although I knew Carly wasn't going to last much longer, it was surprising to see her voted off in front of Brooke White, who I felt for certain was a goner tonight.  When Brooke performed last night she had to start over after ...

American Idol Season 7 - No more Kristy!

w00t. No more Kristy Lee Cook!

American Idol Season 7 - Inspirational songs that let me down

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

(If your name is Michael Wyszomierski, you can stop reading, or hit 'J' on your Google reader). ---------------------- All of the contestants sang songs that have inspired them, but to be honest, almost all of the performances were lackluster.  Even David Cook, who normally blows everyone away, was off his game.  Jason ...

American Idol Season 7: No more Ramiele :( :(

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008

Bad night for me when it comes to American Idol.  Ramiele was sent home tonight.  She was my favorite female performer, and with Brooke White and Kristy Lee Cook remaining, I certainly think that the wrong contestant left.  But again, I think some of the reasoning makes sense - the ...
