Westmont Car Wash
I like to give free plugs to local businesses when they deserve it. I brought Jeanne’s car to the Westmont Car Wash on MacArthur Blvd (just off Cuthbert) and couldn’t believe how great the deal was. For $9.58 (including tax, but not tip) you get the full service car wash which includes a trip through…

Battlestar Galactica
When I was a kid I loved the show Battlestar Galactica, so I’ve been rewatching it on DVD. The show holds up pretty well, although some of the plots are really thin and the lead, Apollo played by Richard Hatch, makes me wonder who the heck cast him. Dirk Benedict (Face from the A-Team) as…

First McNabb goes down for the season on a fluke ACL injury. Now, Andre Waters, one of my favorite players from the Buddy Ryan era, committed suicide.

Bob Barker Retires
The Price is Right without Bob Barker? Say it ain’t so! Whoever takes his place should definitely have to keep that skinny microphone. So who should be the next host on the Price is Right? My vote is Rob from the Treehouse.

Index Card Art
One thing I was into ten years ago was drawing on index cards. I used to carry them around in my CD case all the time. I thought I lost them until my mom dug them out the other day. I’ve posted the best of them and I’ll try to feature them here once and…

Beck – The Information
As most of you know I’m a big Beck fan. When Guero came out I did a track by track review. After a year and a half my opinion on Guero hasn’t changed much. It hits and misses and certainly isn’t up there with his better rock albums like Odelay and Midnight Vultures. Since Beck…
