Californication Season One
Plenty of sex, which isn’t a bad thing.
Duchovny, for the most part, does a great job. You can (almost) believe that so many women would throw themselves at him, while also believing how self-destructive he can be.
However I don’t buy all the physical fighting. Is there anyone who really tries to get in so many fights? Especially when they’re normally not that hot-tempered...

Sun, Food and Surf
Oh my goodness, its been almost a week since I’ve posted.
So I spent the weekend out east for my grandparent’s 50th anniversary. I finally got some sun, which was long overdue. I also attended a fundraiser for at The Surf Lodge, which is Sam from season two of Top Chef’s restaurant.
The restaurant had an absolutely gorgeous view of the water and a very active outdoor bar. For...

Psych Season Two DVD
My favorite line of the season is courtesy of the old lady dancing with Gus in The Old and the Restless…
Old Lady: Now, spin me… Gus stands still with a strange look on his face.
Old Lady: Marvelous!
There has never been a show that has made me so happy. Ever. Its a little weird.
Shawn mentions to the detectives he got a 100 on the detective’s exam when he was 15 years old....

Mad Men Season One
I kept putting it off, but I finally started watching Mad Men to see what all the fuss was about…
Its completely engrossing. I watched the entire season far too quickly.
Extremely well written. At times it really really bothers me, but doesn’t depress me. Its hard to explain.
Compared to my other beloved show-set-in-the-past, Deadwood, there is no sense of urgency. Its different,...

*Cinema -- Pineapple Express
Pineapple Express (2008)
Danny McBride was just plain fantastic. “Thug life.” He made the movie.
Rosie Perez was great. She’s getting older, which weirds me out.
Seth Rogan and James Franco were both good.
Very very funny.
Yet I did feel like it was a bit too much of a “stoner comedy” for me in general.
Appreciated Kevin Corrigan & Craig Robinson as hit...

I Wear My Glasses Far Too Often
Ever since I got my new glasses, I am wearing them far too often. Pretty soon the world without them will be completely fuzzy.
Love, love, love the Delicious redesign. I was part of the beta, but I didn’t really use it. Definitely seems speedier, which was my only complaint. I am such a delicious addict.
Speaking of addictions, if Apple ever gets totally rid of Input Mangers, I’m...

The Thing About American Idol
Apparently executive producer Nigel Lythgoe is leaving American Idol.
I personally didn’t watch American Idol this year… I wanted to, but it just didn’t interest me. I think that this mostly has to do with the contestants that are being chosen for the show. They’re selecting people who aren’t always very appealing or at least very talented.
Regardless, the people...

Running Django on (mt)
So, I’ve been running on the (mt) Django beta container for a couple of weeks now. So far its been great. I’ve received some questions about it so I figured I’d write up a few notes on the Django container…
You get total control over your app without having to manage an entire server.
The level of control vs. stability is perfect. This is my most favorite thing ever.

We Are Scientists at Bowery
So last night we went to see We Are Scientists at Bowery Ballroom. It was fantastic. They sounded great and as you can see above, they played a great set of songs. It was a nice combination of the new and the old album.
We arrived about an hour late, and we still waited for like twenty minutes until the opening act came on. Which means that some people just stood around drinking for over an...
