Something Fishy

This past Friday, I took an excursion to Jazz Journeys at the Georgia Aquarium. On Friday nights this summer, the aquarium is featuring a multitude of jazz artists. With a five-dollar cocktail in hand, I enjoyed the jazzy ministrations of Francine Reed and visited the exhibits. Because the concert goes from 7 to 9:30 and [...]
Wanna Fight?

The other day I was walking past some dude and I thought to myself, “I could take him.” And I don’t mean just a random squabble, but I mean fisticuffs, hand to hand combat, if you will. There was no rhyme or reason to this thought and it just flitted into my head out of [...]
Thursdays @ 10

So tonight is the last episode of ER and I don’t know what I’ll be doing next Thursday night at 10. I started watching ER in its second season which also coincided with my second year of law school. [I don't think I watched much t.v. my first year of law school.] Anyway, I always [...]
Random Thoughts While Watching The Grammys

Stevie Wonder & The Jonas Brothers? I never want to see that pairing again in life. Whitney has some meat on her bones! I love M.I.A., but what was she thinking. She looked like a scary Easter egg. Why is Morgan Freeman wearing one glove? Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland can blow! That Radiohead marching band [...]
TVOTR is #1
Posted in entertainment, tagged Dear Science, music, TVOTR on December 21, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
RollingStone, SPIN, and Entertainment Weekly magazines have all named TV on the Radio’s Dear Science as Album of the Year. I’m down with that. The best cut on the album is DLZ. I also like Crying, Love Dog, Family Tree, and Shout Me Out. If you like music designed for a 21st Century, post-racial, Obama-filled [...]
You Had Me At Goodbye

Well I just got through watching the finale of The Real Houswives of Atlanta and must say that this show was probably the best one of the whole series. The show took a significant detour from the pettiness and featured some interesting issues such as DeShawn dealing with her husband’s imminent retirement from the NBA [...]
Guilty Pleasure

I love watching the “Sons of Anarchy” on FX. Its sort of like the Sopranos, but instead of mobsters it features SAMCRO, a motorcycle “club” [gang] that runs guns and engages in other various illegal behaviour to earn cash. It’s a guilty pleasure because the show is so so so so so un-PC. The club members use [...]
Reflections on the Real Housewives of Atlanta

Well, I watched the Real Housewives of Atlanta on Bravo the other night and I must say my feelings about the show mirrored my feelings I had when Hooters first opened a restaurant in downtown Atlanta several years ago–simultaneously pleased and disgusted. As for Hooters, I was pleased that they thought black women were worthy [...]
