Two Restaurants, Two Movies

I feel judgmental, and talkative, which means it must be time for: Reviews of restaurants and movies—Brit’s, El Cholo’s, “Master and Commander” and “Triplets of Belleville”.

These Don’t Go Together

You’ll notice that my “Overheard” Web log, which keeps an accounting of small interesting quotes and snippets I come across, has been featuring a number of movie pitch lines taken from this year’s Variety-published guide to movies being sold at MIFED. I did find one trend that was worth gathering together into one big post: That of Reese Peanut Butter Cup-like amalgams of ideas that really don’t go so well together.  Allow me to present…. These Don’t Go Together

ONA Thoughts 2003

In fact, I didn’t get the chance to do anything except learn and learn and meet and re-meet, and get energized and excited about online journalism and the many, many potential benefits and changes that it has yet to go through on its way to becoming the most powerful medium in the world.

Big Sky Sushi

Susie and I had sushi tonight with Jae and Karin.  It was at a brand new restaurant in San Dimas called Big Sky Sushi.  It was really quite good; everything we ordered was yummy, and we way way overordered, so I can assure you that we sampled a good portion of the menu.

The Color of Ugly Money

I think it’s time I spoke truth to power on a topic that’s received far too little attention lately: America’s new ugly twenty dollar bill.

I Sold Some Books Today

So, Susie and I have this new deal.  Every Saturday by noon, we each have to put 10 items on the dining room table.  The ten items are things we’re ready to get rid of. Some of my items this week were books, and I took them to Cliff’s Used Book Store in Pasadena.
