A Grateful Dead themed bar, that is otherwise cool
Yes, I said otherwise cool. Why? Because the Grateful Dead suck. They suck big hairy donkey balls. That said, this was a really cool mellow bar. It’s also in Christine’s neighborhood. We helped her check it out since she had never [...]

United Economy Plus Upgrade . . .

Sunday, October 30th, 2005

It was worth the $29
Although I think my opinion is slightly skewed this time around because when I picked my seat on the kiosk I picked a row that at the time was empty. Turns out I had the whole row to myself AND an extra 5 inches of leg room. They also [...]

Two great tastes that taste great together
Wow, all I can say is I started eating them during a card game yesterday afternoon and damn if that isn’t a delicious combination of sweet goodness. I believe it was Grace that pointed it out . . . but regardless it’s gooooood. Go try it now! [...]

Casa Bonita . . .

Saturday, October 29th, 2005

Myth? Legend? Reality?
Many folks like myself only heard of Casa Bonita because of a single episode of South Park. When I saw it I thought was funny and did not even give it a second thought that the “Disneyland of Mexican restaurants” even existed. Turns out it does, and today I visited [...]

The $29 upgrade
Today I am flying United. I used the now familar electronic check-in kiosk to get my boarding pass. This time around it asked me if I wanted to upgrade to Economy Plus. I apparently will be getting an extra 5 inches of leg room and better access to overhead bins [...]

Supa Drifto Char-ja
Found this video clip while crusing the information super highway. It’s a Dodge Charger that looks like the the General Lee from the Dukes of Hazard. I’m guessing this was a stunt for the Dukes of Hazard movie, but I never saw it so I dunno? Pretty good driving, I’ll [...]

Good Night, and Good Luck. . . .

Excellent film
This should not be missed. It’s far from an action film or a romantic comedy, but it tells a fantastic true story about a very important time in our history. Everyone should go see it. I think this has a very good chance at an Oscar or two or three. [...]

This should be interesting, of course it already happened
I am a gun owner, but I’m not big on hunting. Of course I don’t have cable and this is on pay-per-view. Kinda funny it’s on pay-per-view. Get all the info at the offcial site here:

I wonder if a winner was declared? Anyone [...]
