Food Network...

I'm slowly becoming obsessed with new things. Gone are the days of American Idol (which I haven't seen a single episode of yet this season) and whatever else I used to watch, only to be replaced by more mindless pleasures. I've always liked cooking shows, but since I haven't had cable for a couple of years, I never got into Iron Chef or any of those shows...until now. Since Nebraska has cable and a willingness to hand over the remote, I've become infatuated with Chopped and Top Chef. I can't get enough. The only thing I had about the Food Network is their seemingly endless supply of episodes of Cupcake Wars and baking shows. Give me a restaurant renovation show and some cooks going head to head and I'm good for about 12 hours. Don't get me wrong, I'm still committed to Parks & Rec, Community, Californication and Modern Family, but for the other 166 hours a week those shows aren't on, I've got TFN.

And also Swamp People. I think that's on the History Channel. That show is also amazing. If you have On Demand, you should watch all of season 1. Season 2 just started and it's gonna be a good one. Willy already got bit! Crazy, I know.

Texas and I decided we are going to start doing our own Iron Chef challenges. Someone is going to choose a few ingredients for us and it's up to us to use them however we see fit. A judge(s) will decide who the winner is. This will surely be fun and fascinating for you, so I'll be sure to update you with pictures or videos. Maybe then I'll have something to blog about.

Mario...

Just wanted to share a video from SXSW you may or may not have seen. It's pretty legendary.

Win Win...

Did some movie hopping last Friday. I saw Sucker Punch, Kill the Irishman, Limitless and Win Win. Sucker Punch was the best. Zach Snyder is really in a league of his own when it comes to cinematic vision. He has really honed his style and skill and it's probably his best effort since 300 but the fact that he wrote it himself makes it his best film yet. Go see it.

Win Win was awesome though. Hilarious. I like seeing Paul Giamatti not play a bumbling self-loathing wimp. If this is playing near you, then you need to go see it.

School's Out Forever...

Sorry for the temporary hiatus. I finished school last week and this month has been busy to hectic, though now that I only have a few months of classes only on Monday while I finish my portfolio and hopefully land a job soon, I'll have more time to devote to all of you.

For our 'final exam' we have to do 5 minutes of stand-up. This is mine.



I'm back. Go big.
