A dapper (and sometimes disgruntled) take on popular culture.

Things that FACEBOOK needs to include

Why does Facebook insist on changing their layout every three months? It’s quite annoying. I am all for change, but when it starts to look like Twitbook, (in case you didn’t catch it, that’s a combo of Twitter and Facebook) it’s just plain lame. …but alas, I am a lowly writer and the big wigs...

I finally got a Blackberry

Before I get into my whole spiel (or is it schpeel?) about my story…Happy New Year. Now that’s outta the way…I finally replaced my janky little Nokia with a Blackberry (thanks to my Mom and Dad – it was a Christmas gift!). Nothing too extravagant, just the plain, run-of-the-mill Blackberry Curve. Now I can catch...

The Davids rumble on American Idol

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...

The best thing about this season’s American Idol

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...

From “Speed Racer” to “American Idol”

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...

The hunky emotion of STOP-LOSS

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:...

A gelato rant

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...

Chain restaurant tour: TGIFriday’s

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...

Urinal etiquette

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...

A “Rent Awakening”

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...

SFIAAFF: “Glory Boy Days”

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...

Do I have a CHO-BSESSION?

Is it me, or have I been blogging A LOT about John Cho lately? I think I have been. For the record, I admire his work, but I am in no way an obsessive fan. I just want to be best friends with him. Forever. Okay. That was a total joke. It just so happens...
