Here are some funny pictures I got in a email this morning. The cat one is the best. I actually have a deep loathing for all things feline, as I’m much more partial to dogs. But LOL Cats has changed my perspective. Cats can have personality.
I wish my dog knew how to play fetch. Thatcher just runs after the ball then brings it back and hoards it. The dog park we go to is full of tennis balls because of the adjacent courts. So, I throw a ball, she tears after it, then trots back and lays in the shade. Read More
Wow, it was actually good. I was worried it would be like A Bug’s Life or that dreadful one with Ewan McGregor (I think it’s just called Robots). However, Wall-E was a good story, well-paced, and the main character was surprisingly well fleshed out — you know for a robot who doesn’t really talk. Plus, the film just *feels* good, pure Disney goodness.
I’ve heard people say that it’s the “best animated movie ever.” Not quite. But it’s the best thing from Pixar in a while to be sure. I would place it with Toy Story, Monsters, Inc., The Incredibles and Finding Nemo — all DVDs we either own or wouldn’t mind owning. Wall-E is certainly better than A Bug’s Life, Toy Story 2, or that travesty Cars. What were they thinking with Cars?
*adapted from Barefoot Contessa on Food Network. Ina Garten is a genius. I watch her show all the time. Her recipes are simple, classic, and delicious. The photography on the show is exquisite as well. Very bright (great for food). Very clear. Lots of extreme close-ups. I highly recommend her show to any Food Network fan.
What follows is my adaptation of the recipe but the spirit is all Barefoot Contessa. I think you’ll see why I would never be good at writing cookbooks. You can see her recipe here at Food Network dot com.
I just don’t get the allure of Sci-Fi shows. I like Sci-Fi movies. I should clarify: I prefer fantasy and superhero movies to Sci-fi but Sci-Fi can be cool too. But Sci-fi Shows, particularly the British ones, I just don’t like. And it doesn’t stop at just different tastes, I honestly can’t understand why anyone Read More
It’s not up yet but we bought the domain name. It’s going to be all about living in Los Angeles and our new albeit temporary lives here on the West Coast. We hate it here. So, why not complain about it. I’m not telling the name yet. But I promise it will be good. Read More
I love Photo Booth. There’s me as an Andy Warhol. I prefer Lichtenstein but Photo Booth doesn’t have that option. Read More
I did a post today about the longest running primetime show. No, it’s not The Simpsons. It’s freakin’ 60 Minutes. The only reason I ever watch 60 Minutes is because it’s on right before Sunday’s Big Brother. We end up watching Andy’s aimless rant (this week it was about milk). I think my friend Laura Read More
Happy Birthday Mags! I love you! You’re the best sister! Read More
Anyone who’s lived in Santa Monica knows that homelessness is a big problem here. The super liberal government doesn’t do anything about it; to my knowledge, in SaMo, homelessness is a “lifestyle choice.” Whatever. I guess that’s why every now and again you’ll see a homeless person with an item (or wearing something) that generally Read More
