Okay, I’m not a Trekkie, but I am a fan of John Cho (remember when he and I became BFF?) and more than that, I am a fan of J.J. Abrams - so this movie is going to make me like Star Trek.
Actually, all the posters piece together to make that iconic Star Trek symbol [...]
Yay! Today is the one month anniversary of my official lay-off date from Bay Area News Group East Bay! It was month ago today that I got the ax from the newspaper company! AND! As an added bonus, this is the 201st post on the finer dandy! AND…today was the first day that I really [...]

Bernie Mac died today. This seems surreal.
It’s funny, earlier today, I was reading the Aug. 15th issue of Entertainment Weekly and it said that he was admitted to the hospital for pneumonia. Then, when I met with my friend Steve he said, “Did you hear? Bernie Mac died.” I guess this happened before EW’s press [...]

I am currently reading…
The Film Club By David Gilmour: See what happens when a father lets his son drop out of high school on the condition that he watches three movies a week (of the dad’s choosing)! I’m almost done with this book - it’s okay. There are parts when the Gilmour is talking so [...]

Okay…it may not be breaking news - but it is to me because I just found out about it today.
Apparently, Comfort is coming back to So You Think You Can Dance! My friend, Sue says so on her blog!
Sue is currently at TCA conference in SoCal where she is getting the scoop on all [...]

I try to avoid watching American Idol each season, but I end up watching it like the reality show whore I am.
But this season is extra special. Because there is a crazy-ass stage dad on the show - thanks to David Archuleta.
I love stage parents. They are the most freakishly annoying fuckers out there. They [...]
SCORE!
I got my stimulus check deposited into my account! I am going to do some major stimulating at Barneys.
I think I will single handedly cure the U.S. economy with my stimulus check.
I just thought I should share that with all of you.
Thank you for your time.
…more like borderline harassing.
In all honesty, I don’t have a solid grasp on the concept of a union. All I know is that it’s a group of people within a certain industry that band together in order to make the workplace a better place for all of us journalists.
Wait a second…the term “better workplace” [...]
Each day, I get these annoying memos at work in my e-mail inbox. Sometimes I just scan through them, roll my eyes and press delete. But there are those special occasions when something catches my eye - especially the e-mails from our head honchos. I like to call them my journalistic pimps.
Anyways, I got excited [...]
