So I just watched my DVR’d episode of part one of American Idol’s finale.
I want David “Chris-Daughtry-Redux-but-not-really” Cook to win, but I am sure David “Baby-Face-Monchichi” Archuleta is going to take it. This is purely based on the tween squeal-o-meter I have connected to my television.
Anyways, is it me or does Archuleta look like someone [...]

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 [...]

Lesbians are probably the nicest people in the world - this is based on the lesbian couple I sat next to at the GLAAD Awards and, of course, the Indigo Girls.
The reasoning for this (according to me) is because it’s two women. It’s embedded in nature that women are more nurturing, maternal and just plain [...]

So I just got back from a screening of Speed Racer and I don’t really want to write a review about it right now because I am too lazy. (yes I saw an early pre screening - one of the perks of the job that makes up for low pay) But I will say that [...]

I haven’t been to the movies in a while, so I decided to take a gander at Kimberly Peirce’s latest opus, Stop-Loss, her follow up to the masterpiece that is Boys Don’t Cry.
For those of you who don’t know the story (I don’t know why you wouldn’t), let me lay it out for you: [...]

Last night was the first time in a long time I actually did something that young professionals do: go out to dinner with friends in a “hip” part of the city.
After giving my bank account a ridiculous work out, I went to dinner at Viva in SF’s happenin’ North Beach with Arnold, Marivic and [...]

Two weeks ago Alice, Paul and I made our next stop on our chain restaurant food tour: the flair-tastic epicenter of All-American cuisine: TGIFriday’s.
Alice and Paul opted for some cocktails. Apparently, they are just as fun as they look.
There was a special on appetizers: $5 with a purchase of an entree. We took full advantage [...]

What exactly is the right “urinal etiquette?”
There is one restroom at work that I frequent. The urinals are very close together. If there wasn’t a partition between the two of them, people using the urinals would be standing shoulder to shoulder.
It’s the strangest thing when someone tries to make conversation with you while you [...]

I look scary
It’s been nearly two months since I saw Spring Awakening in New York and I am still listening to the musical soundtrack about sex, homosexuality, body exploration, free-thinking, child molestation, suicide and abortion.
It is tons o’ family fun.
I hate to say it, but it’s my new Rent.
I’m not saying that I am [...]

Glory Boy Days is a representation of twentysomethings of the 21st century. Directed by Paul Encinas, the movie follows a clan of troublemaking Gen Y’ers (or are they Z’ers? or maybe they are considered the blogging generation…whatever) over the course of 24 hours as they party, complain, makeout, drink, do drugs, bicker and all those [...]
