For all the Stone-heads on this board (you know who you are....;) ), I offer this piece in today's LA Times food section (unfortunately, you need to register to read the article): http://www.latimes.com/features/food...headlines-food

I suppose the W Hotel would be out of yer price range? ;) (It's a block from the UCLA campus.) I seem to recall a motor lodge (Best Western?) right at the intersection where the Santa Monica Blvd 405-freeway on-ramp is -- dunno 'bout their rates, but it's worth a look. Not too far from UCLA...

Stephen - Good to see that there's another MoB fan on this forum! (Of course, I figured it had to be a Boston-area chap who'd be Burma-aware....) Have you seen them live since they re-formed? I missed their LA show last year, and I'm anxiously awaiting the All Tomorrow's Parties festival...

I seem to recall one of these threads a couple months ago, but what the hey.... Most of my celebrity sightings actually happened while I was at med school (NYU). One of the hospitals we rotate thru while there is the (in)famous Bellevue, which besides the well-known locked psych ward, also...

Wonder why ol' Wil Wheaton (ST fandom's fave whipping boy....:D ) managed to get listed on the closing credits, when his scene(s) didn't even make it to the deleted scenes section, whereas someone like Steven Culp (who'll always be RFK to me now, no matter what movie he's in) gets the shaft...

Dredging up an old query of mine, but after watching my scratchy VHS copy last night, it got me to wondering anew: has anyone heard anything about this film finding its way to DVD? I haven't seen the HBO film Conspiracy, but for starters, I would imagine it loses something by being done in...

Remember that imbecile of a girl who wrote terrorist-threat notes while on a cruise with her family, so that the trip would be cut short and she could go back to be with her boyfriend? http://www.cnn.com/2003/US/West/05/0....ap/index.html She doesn't exactly look like a Rhodes scholar...

I'm not gonna rehash details of the flick (since there're so many other guys who are busy doing just that here....:) ), but I'll join the chorus of folks who really, really liked this film! I'm not sure about love (I think I have to reserve that for the LOTR trilogy), but it definitely brought...

In the end, it took me a diction'ry To find out the meaning of "unrequited" While she was giving herself for free At a party to which I was never invited.... - Billy Bragg, "The Saturday Boy" And if a double-decker bus Crashes into us To die by your side Is such a heavenly way to...

The aforementioned jeans commercial (Wrangler, actually) that absolutely abuses the Creedence classic "Fortunate Son." A whole generation of young'uns probably now think the original song was a jingoistic, rah-rah, up-with-America anthem, when the reality is that it was probably one of the...

15, eh? That would put me right at the beginning of high school, so I think that was the tail end of my metal phase (Priest, Iron Maiden, AC/DC, Ozzy), and the beginning of my '80s new-wave phase (Smiths, Depeche Mode, Cure, New Order). Have definitely weaned off the metal (though Spinal Tap...

Ned: "Whatcha diddley-doin', neighbor?" Homer (hacking away at the hood of his car with a pickaxe): "I'm puttin' speed holes in my car. Makes it go faster!" :D

The Great Cthulhu Jr? ;) (Paging Julie K....:D )

I've been browsing the laptop market lately, because I decided I needed to move on from my 6-year-old 600 MHz Pentium III Dell desktop, and various considerations made me look at switching to a laptop. Of course, the big hubbub these days in the laptop market has been Intel's new...

Haven't seen all that many live shows over the years, and many of them were somewhat....sedate in their vibe (e.g. Cocteau Twins at the Orpheum in Boston, Mark Isham at some place in Somerville, MA). However, of the ones I've seen, I'd nominate: R.E.M. - Lifes Rich Pageant tour, at the old...

The subtitle glitch people here are mentioning w/regard to the Sony S9000ES is not unique to this release -- similar things have been seen on a slew of previous releases, where even with the subtitles ostensibly turned off, foreign-language subtitles show up on scenes that display some kind of...

Count me as another satisfied TurboTax Online user! Besides the benefits already mentioned, if you've filed a previous year's return online, you can simply have their site import relevant data from last year's return to the current one.

Glad I could be of service. :)

I don't think I've seen the commercial you're referring to, but the "Living it up, yeah yeah yeah" part sounds like "Go!" by Tones on Tail. I'm probably waaaaayyy off, tho -- I don't recall ever hearing this song used in a commercial....

Color me another satisfied Canon PowerShot G2 owner! The swivel-mount viewfinder is great, but just icing on the cake that is this awesome camera!

Made a few minor changes to the list, updated my wants.

I may not have been one of the '97ers, but (as I mentioned to Ron in an e-mail when I first joined up) I do vividly recall what prompted me to find this site and "enlist": I was prowling the bins of DVDs at J+R Music World back in the summer of '98 (certainly at that time the absolute best place...

El bumpo.... (made some small changes to the list)

It is pretty amazing how Kim goes from selfless, abused-child-rescuing "all-grows-up" young woman when the day started, to the same-old "help me, I'm a blathering bouncing-boobs nitwit who's so stupid I get caught by traps set for animals!!!". She obviously didn't inherit much in the way of...
