Well, it’s official. The strike is over! And just in time. The drought of 30 Rock, House, and Gossip Girl (not to mention 24) was just about to cause my brain to explode. Thankfully, I have a glorious roster of reality TV to pass the time. I’m thrilled to be able to go back to …

Jesse Metcalfe = Punched in the Face
Ha! I think my favorite part of this clip, aside from the vicious cold cocking, is towards the end when a raging Jesse Metcalfe shouts, “Yo! Yo! VICTOR!” I was really hoping he’d go all Amazing Race on us and yell, “Stop this car, VICTOR, right now!!!” Alas.
West Hollywood Planning Commission Convenes, Idiots Flock
I’m so fired up with political activism right now I’m surprised there’s no annoying Facebook group dedicated to me. Last night, I attended my very first Planning Commission meeting here in West Hollywood, and while I knew I’d encounter several stodgy old people and myopic idiots, I didn’t realize the degree to which they’d a) …

Further Restaurant Sadness
Things just aren’t getting any better for me on the Los Angeles restaurant scene. One of my favorite higher end restaurants, Bin 8945, is closing down tonight. I first went there on a whim with my friends, J-Unit and Jash. It was almost a year ago — March 2007 — and the meal served as an impromptu …
Cougar Attack in Hollywood!
While I was out the other night, I came across that most exciting of encounters: a cougar trapping some young, innocent prey into her dangerous clutches. Of course, I did what any good samaritan would do in that situation: I busted out my camera. Now for those of you who don’t know what a “cougar” …
The Further Decline of Cha Cha Cha
Just weeks after having been unceremoniously (and unforgivably) shut down, beloved neighborhood restaurant Cha Cha Cha has been stripped of its exterior charm, thus rendering its facade a blank, white shell of its former self. I guess this is the way rock enthusiasts felt when Nickelback showed up on the scene. Nevertheless, this was all …
Global Warming To Flex Its Muscles On Sunday!
According to the Live Mega Doppler 7000 on Los Angeles’s reputable local ABC affiliate, KABC, we’re in for quite the temperature spike on Sunday. Highs are going to hit 100 degrees in parts of Los Angeles, but that won’t stop the snow. Why? Because snow in Los Angeles is MAGICAL! (via Franklin Avenue Blog)
A Night At The Proms
Recently, my friend Nhan rented out a restaurant for her birthday, and to make the occasion extra special, she added a theme: prom. Well, who wouldn’t like that — aside from Christian on Project Runway? My friends and I happily poured ourselves into the appropriate outfits, which in this case meant tuxes for the gents and …
TERMINATOR: The Cupcake Chronicles
The Machines Are Here. And They Bring Cupcakes. When you think of the intense, bloody, testosterone-fueled Terminator franchise, only one thing comes to mind: cupcakes. It’s a pairing as old as time itself. Well, banking on that classic robot-cupcake association, Fox is promoting its new series, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles by giving away free …
GYM HORRORS: Sweaty Idiots Overrun Peaceful Workout
(Dramatization) Another day, another gross story from the gym. Thankfully, this tale details significantly fewer threats to my personal health and hygiene as my last gym horror story, but I still find it quite appalling. I guess by now it’s probably not hard to imagine what’s so offensive this time around, what with my headline …
