San Francisco just got a little sweeter

In my quest to find some cool podcasts (my most recent obsession) I realized I could listen to my favorite radio show from Chicago's ESPN 1000, "Mac, Jurco, and Harry" in podcast form. Awesome stuff. I'm in the second best city in America with radio from the best city. The shisty thing is that I could only listen to 15 minutes with a couple of the segments from the show. Who cares, something is better than nothing. I mean I have the live broadcast I could check out... I added a couple of new widgets to my blog. Podcasts, Nba scores, and I am gonna add a photo slideshow eventually. ROCK! Thank God for the weekend.

Awemazemo

This is my future crime fighting name. My super powers haven't come in yet but when they do watch out. Awemazemo will be all over you. I have no reason to blog other than to say watch out. I plan on putting up the very first Babbling Scribe podcast this coming Monday... hell yeah.

The Best Movie of 2008

Be Kind Rewind . There is no way this wont be the best movie of 2008. The premise is mind boggling great. Some video store employees remake all the movies in their shop after they erase all their tapes. Now at the start that sounds impossible but the way its portrayed in the trailer makes it believable. Holy Crap am I excited! The best part? Jack Black looks in the zone. Mr. Black has been in some over the top horrendous garbage recently. If we know one thing, it's that if you put the right actor with the right director magic can happen. Jack Black is one of those guys. Let's list his heaping pile of dung: Envy, Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny, King Kong, Orange County ... oh man just typing these names makes me want to cry. Now what do his master pieces have in common? School of Rock (directed by Richard Linklater), Shallow Hal (Farrelly brothers), High Fidelity (directed by Stephan Frears, okay so this guy hasn't doesn't anything worth mentioning but...). ALL O...

Lots of Pictures

So these are a little old but I want to share. Here are we enjoying a bike ride through the Presidio and Cliffhouse. Fun little guy made of tin boxes and crazy stuff. I want one... but it was like 300 bucks Here we are on the water in the Sausalito bay area. I have no idea what is with this bench but dude.... it's funny Finally. Youtube kind of destroyed the quality of this flick but I do love that this store has a mountain of bobble heads. In High School I wanted to make a film where a universe of action figures accidentally stumbled upon a gateway into a universe of Bobble heads. It would have been great.

2008 Election

Before I fly into an craze about this topic let me get in this very important plug. Glass booth Who could possibly have decided their candidate at this point. Now that is the point of Glassbooth.org. You fill in a short quiz and they will show you how each candidate lines up issue by issue with your beliefs. It is amazing. At the beginning of the year I thought I liked Obama as a person and he was brillant in speeches but glassbooth show our comparison (79%) pretty good but Bill Richardson (85%) was right on with almost everything and he hasn't minced words once in the process. Obama is Clinton 2.0 to me after watching so much debate footage (the plus of working in news). Now I'm not gonna tell you who to vote for only, you should check out this site out and figure out if you actually know the candidates and how they line up with you or if you are just riding the popularity contest. Yes Hillary is a powerful women and Barrack is a strong, smart man but there is more to these c...

Short and Sweet, episode one

I just updated a ton of crap in my Facebook. Keep it fresh people. When I came to the favorite quotes part I laughed outloud. Running with Scissors wasn't that good a movie, but that turd line makes me laughing every freaking time I read it. I'm thinking of selling my car. I feel after biking to work everyday last week that is really only the mass transit obstacle. After midnight it simply isn't there to cross the bay. I'll be spending my Thanksgiving in the desert, Los Angeles. I don't think people realize that no one is supposed to live in LA. There is no fresh water there and crop growing is near impossible. If the entertainment industry falls apart LA may become a ghost town. After a discussion with Marieta about my Tivo subscriptions it's become painly obvious I actually on like five shows (PTI, Always Sunny, Chuck, The Office, and My Name is Earl). I may have to add a sixth show to my favorite shows. "How I met your Mother." Watch it, damn funny...

I'm not an eavesdropper

However, it's really hard to tune out random conversations when you're eating alone on your dinner break. So when you work news, your "lunch break" is actually after the 6 o'clock show ends. I normally bring my "lunch" with me but I was busy up until I left for work. So I walked down the street to a taqueria. I don't know why I went back, my initial trip was not that good and I passed up an enticing pizza by the slice place. Well being as its a taqueria it was pretty much a whole in the wall and close to all the seats were taken because let's face it; tacos are the shit. The only place I can sit is behind a group of 4 kids, who I assume are 19/20 years old based on the convo. So after it is established that one of them is a lesbian whose mother doesn't approve and this girl is going to dominate the conversation. Now considering I don't have anyone to talk to I'm pretty much at the will of the room (no music, no newspaper to read, and ...
