Upon seeing the ceiling of Mi Tierra in San Antonio I fully expected a group of blindfolded children to burst into the restaurant at any time, wildly swinging bats, sticks and other impliments of destruction in a frenzied quest for falling candy.
Remembering The Alamo
When the weather is as nice as it is right now it’s tough to get a shot of The Alamo without a glob of tourists in front of it. This isn’t the shot I wanted, but it is a shot a I like. You just gotta love the lady in her pink shirt, pink cowboy hat and the high water pants showing off her pink tennis shoes. Ah, Texas!
Oh Hai, I mean “MOO”
Jay Lee vs. Zombie Strippers
For awhile I was enjoying being the #1 result of a Google search for Jay Lee. Pretty nifty to be able to say “If you need to reach me, just Google me.”
Recently I noticed that I had dropped to #2 and #3 for baldheretic.com and The Helpline Blog respectively with the #1 spot being held by an IMDB page for Jay Lee (I).
A little known film blip of a guy who was easily eating my google dust until recently. His rise to the #1 spot seems to coincide with his lastest cinimagraphic effort, a movie called Zombie Strippers featuring porn star Jenna Jameson and Robert “Freddy Krueger” Englund.
I can’t compete with porn, zombies AND cult-class horror stars bundled together. Sure, maybe a one on one cage match versus any of them individually, but not the whole bundle.
And here’s the trailer.
Of course my linkage only feeds the fire. Hopefully the movie hype will die down and I will resume my rightful place at the top of the search results.
A Different Kind Of Music Chart
I’ve been amused for the last several weeks over the charts and graphs at GraphJam: Pop culture for people in cubicles. Particularly the graphs used to represent pop songs
But that’s not to say the other pop culture charts referencing movies aren’t great as well…
Joystix
Over the last year or so I’ve been hearing about Joystix Classic Games and Pinballs in Downtown Houston located near Minute Maid Park on Franklin Street.
Basically it’s a video/pinball arcade featuring vintage games like Asteroids, Defender, Tron, Space Invaders and so on. Plus many, MANY pinball machines. You pay a flat fee and play all night. Pretty cool.
On this week’s show my co-host phliKtid mentioned his recent visit to Joystix and word got to the owner who invited us out to check the place as a possible venue for a future event.
Friday night myself, phliKtid and Groovehouse ventured over there and checked it out. It’s about everything you would expect. Flashing lights, electronic noises and grown men and women grinning like idiots. I played Defender and Tron and even went head to head with phliKtid in a game of Wizards Of Wor. I was soundly defeated. I was, however, happy to see that my mad Spy Hunter skills were still in tact.
While I was roaming the aisles of games I was reminded that there is something that is worse than the band Journey…and that’s the video game Journey
Wine With Dinner
One of our more recent weekend traditions is taking a bottle of wine over to Collina’s for dinner. It’s a great opportunity to have some good Italian food and consume a bottle of wine during a great conversation.
Problem is, we don’t know jack about wine. This leads to some creative choices on our part. This week we chose to drink a bottle of Irony…
From the label:
Most of us didn’t imagine where we would be right now. Sure, we dreamed of being firemen, astronauts, rock stars and superheroes, but life often takes you where you didn’t expect it to.
Wine with wisdom! It was delicious…
Perspective
Sometimes you only need look out your window to realize that maybe your job isn’t so bad after all…
