Shackin’ Up With Uncle Joe
We stopped by the new Uncle Joe’s Crab Shack on Maple Road in Amherst, just outside of Buffalo, NY at two o’clock on Sunday afternoon. We like to go to popular restaurants at odd times, to avoid the crowds. Call it Linner, I suppose. Our timing didn’t help this time around, there was still a […]
Obligatory There Will Be Football Blogette
Word on the street (street = Internet) is that the football strike is over. And there was much rejoicing and jubilant dancing. It looks like the beer and pizza industries will survive another year. And in other news, it there are rumors that Favre may be coming out of retirement unless someone finds and destroys […]
Harry Potter – Last Call At Hogwarts
Definitely go 3d. The special effects are spectacular. Especially the battle scenes of which there are many. Don’t count on a quidditch match for a bathroom break, there isn’t one. Deathly Hallows Part 2 can be enjoyed as a stand alone movie in case you have been holed up in a cave in Afghanistan for […]
Amy Winehouse – Gone Too Soon at 27
I have no insights to offer on the death of Amy Winehouse. No glimpses into the addicted psyche. No pithy “what we can learn from this” remarks. Just sadness at yet another young talent snuffed out too soon. Why is it so hard for so many to live in the spotlight without leaning on drugs […]
Transformers: My Five Questions
1. Why is a robot wearing a scarf? 2. Why can I never tell the decepticons from the autobots when they battle. They need to wear Jerseys. 3. How does Carly have unlimited wardrobe changes regardless of the perilous situations she finds herself in. 4. And about her car, c’mon! No one saw that coming? […]
Vans Warped Tour at Darien Lake
Warped at Darien Lake – always a great show. This year it was unfortunately a little heavy on screamo and light on ska. I didn’t count, but there were supposed to be 70 bands on 16 stages. It was really hot, but there was s decent breeze which kept it from being miserable. There were water refilling stations […]
Mashups, Beet Salad, Sparkling Wine – The Weekend in Review
Girl Talk at Sound Academy in Toronto, Ontario. Great venue, right on the water in Toronto. Plenty of Room, nice bar area. The only problem is that if you are underage, they won’t even let you pass through the bar, and if you are legal and want to drink, you have to stay in the […]
Guilty Pleasure: Big Brother 13
Big Brother 13 starts tonight. Big Brother is our family show in the summer. It’s total trash TV, but it’s fun to watch the challenges and their antics. I could never deal with being on that show. I could never stand being cut of from the world, I would go nuts not reading, I get […]
