(If you think this entry might be boring, you can instead check out my review of the new Ike’s Place on Stanford campus at TUSB) You might find many reasons to be in Portland, Oregon, but all friends, family, websites, travel books, and random strangers will recommend you go to Powell’s Books. Add blogs to […]
You must go to see this movie. Anything more that I would say would diminish the experience. You must go to see this movie.
(Author’s Note: shameless plug! A few friends and I are writing for a cooking blog at http://kitchenburn.blogspot.com/ . Check it out for some hilarity) Before heading out to the midnight premiere, my friend Leland emailed out a warning about the movie: 10% fresh on rottentomatoes.com . Admittedly, the fresh rating is often somewhat harsh, though […]
I’ve been lazy lately, and I will continue to be lazy. Here’s a review for MacGruber that I just wrote for The Unofficial Stanford Blog. While you’re there, subscribe to the best source of real Stanford news.

The big news is my sphere of pop culture is that “Dollhouse” has been cancelled. I think it makes Joss Whedon look like a sucker for going back to FOX after they cancelled “Firefly” on him, but at least we got more than more one season and a chance for closure. At the end of […]
(in the spirit of reviews, I’ll try to dodge spoilers, even if the ending to this Harry Potter book was an internet frenzy) It’s been awhile since I saw Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, but a quick refresher from my last review reminds me that I didn’t like it. The movie felt […]
I’ve spent the past 3 weeks easing myself into my summer life of job work, cooking, and commuting.
