Not even really being a HUGE Star Trek geek, maybe it’s time to check out StarWars in Second Life, I have seen some damn nice AV’s and I am [...]

Omakase! or “How to REALLY enjoy sushi”

Omakase (お任せ) is the Japanese word meaning “entrust” or “protect”. It is most commonly encountered at sushi bars, where the customer may request お任せお願いします omakase onegaishimasu (onegaishimasu meaning “please do me the favor”) to give the chef authority to prepare what the chef wants to make for you at the price that the chef [...]

The View From Gate 14

(Hat tip Sithmonkey over at Cold Fury)
“America is in line at the airport. America has its shoes off, is carrying a rubberized bin, is going through a magnetometer. America is worried there is fungus on the floor after a million stockinged feet have walked on it. But America knows not to ask. America is guilty [...]

Have the UFC belts settled in for the year?

We may actually be looking at some lack of movement in the belts this year…..
Anderson Silva, puhlease no one is even close…… Wanderlei has possibly mentioned a drop to 185….. and he will get pwned too if he does.
Georges St. Pierre, if he keeps his head straight will rule the 170’s for the foreseeable  future….
BJ [...]

Click here, it’s kinda long, but I couldn’t agree more. 

Top Chef! Any other Addicts?

I love this show, been a big fan since midway through season two, watched most of season one in reruns.
Obviously Bravo has all their blogs, but for non-Bravo Top Chef bloggery check out: http://bloggingtopchef.blogspot.com/

UFC Fight Night followup, yeah a little late I know

Been real buys, I will post on TUF in  a bit:
Kenny Florian “KenFlo” Vs Joe Lauzon “J-Lau”: Joe put up a good fight, hung in there longer than expected, but simply ain’t on the same level as Florian yet, Good fight!
Thiago Alves Vs. Karo Parisyan: Controversial stoppage? I give the ref the benefit of the [...]

*Sighs* Sexual Offending may get a lot easier in Maine

Let me state the obvious, Child Molesters are the one of the most pathetic and un-forgivable of criminals, if anyone messes with MY children I swear on everything that matters I will kill them myself and quite possibly parade the corpse around town….
