All Things Chill

I added LauLau as my significant other in Facebook today. It was a bit of an unnerving process. I actually had to RE-ASK her to be my girlfriend again. My palms accumulated sweat, butterflies spawned from my abdomen and hair started growing in new and different places ROFFLE my voice started squeaking [...]

My Dogglounge brotha from another motha, Jorge – AKA The Curious J – is performing LIVE @ Smartbar in the heart of the Northside of Chicago. He won the mix competition! WHAT A RESUME BOOSTER! LOL. He’s blowing up! LOL I’M SO PROUD!!! If you’re in the city, please make [...]

String Beans in a Chinese Black Bean Sauce
Larger view here. Blanch string beans (throw them in boiling water for a 20 seconds), shock in cold water (to stop the cooking process) and dry on paper towels. Saute onions and 3 cloves of sliced garlic over high heat with peanut and sesame oil, [...]

Wallpaper size 1024×768 and 1280×1024 . Naruto Shippuden episode 26. First episode in a VERY VERY long time with movie-quality animation. Almost as good as Sasuke’s fight with Orochimaru (awesome to watch as a stand-alone video).
This new “Jinchuuriki” arc is pretty interesting, but it feels like it’s too lob-sided to one [...]

R.O.F.L. Nothing has related to a part of my life or touched me as deeply as this commercial (@ Gamevideos via Kotaku)… well… since a guy gave a girl a new outLOOK on love. LOOK! ROFL.
Brings back memories of chuggin’ Mountain Dew: Code Red while annihilating my best friends playing Rainbow [...]

Being in the wonderful city of San Francisco, you can find plenty of websites that’ll recommend something great to eat within the confines of your budget. But what happens when you find yourself in Podunk, USA (God help you lol)? I seriously doubt that there’s a thriving Yelp community there. Hee hee.
So [...]

Collin asked, so I humbly obliged. Please use any pasta you desire. I like farafalle with chunky / sauce-y pastas, but angel hair is great for side dishes. If you’re in a pinch, San Marzano tomato sauce is one of my favorite brands. DEEELICIOUS!

Brian Ashcraft of Kotaku fame wrote a post about his Xbox 360 dying. It’s right here. His dies, and now mine dies. COINCIDENCE?!?!!? I THINK NOT. It was fated from the start. We lived our lives as “star-crossed gamers,” paralleling each action after action, as if they were clever originals… [...]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOK. Since my Xbox 360 is currently D-E-A-D (the Wii is my prime murder suspect), I figure I’d post more to push these recent tragedies further down my blog… as if it were a harsh medicine, filled with liquid aspiration and a heavy dose of “OMGPLZWERKTUMORRO.” The following is some food that I [...]

XBOX 360. RED RING OF DEATH.
DDAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMIIIITTT.
TAKEN @ 10PM PST, RIGHT AFTER I STARTED MY FRICKIN’ SKATE DEMO DOWNLOAD. For those of you who aren’t familiar with XBOX 360 jargon…
SYMPTOMS – You see three lights on the Ring of Light (RoL) flash red on the front of the Xbox 360 console. The upper-right quadrant [...]

Thanks Jason to for the link! I’ve been a long time Kristen Bell / Veronica Mars fan. She’s one of the few actors and actresses I know by name (I forget about everyone else as their mainstream-ness fades). The 3 season show has [...]

Youtube link here. I’m not the most avid of sports fans, but this one struck me as a slap in the face. LaDainian Tomlinson had a great year last season, but for him to cut and dodge the Bears’ defense and run jog in a touchdown STANDING UP… is a little ridiculous. [...]

OOH OOH someone created a workaround for playing DVDs on the Nintendo Wii. You still have to pop in a CD then swap it out for the movie of your choice, but its a SOFTWARE hack… which means that the Wii had DVD playback capabilities from the get go. If the DVD software [...]
