The Contemporary Museum Café — restaurant review — Hawai’i

I think I’ve only eaten here once before and clearly cannot recall the food, but when I wandered briefly with the older wealthier artsy crew, they always insisted I should go to The Contemporary Museum Café. But I often visited the museum, never the café. “Next time”, I thought, “next time”. Well, [...]

Indigo Eurasian Cuisine — restaurant review — Hawai’i

I have three words to describe Indigo and that’s “oily as hell”. Not a greasy oil, but extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette to the max. The pair made technicolor Willy Wonka swirls on my emptied plate; I’m not kidding, I thought I was on drugs.

When the waiter suggested the lunch buffet, [...]

Anna Nicole Smith died today, who’ll have ghost sex now?

I just thought I’d throw this up there because it’s slightly “dreamlogic”.
39-year-old Anna Nicole Smith died today at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Florida of unknown causes and on the heels of a Trim Spa lawsuit (the diet pill campaign she pushed and used to lose almost 70 pounds was [...]

Inland Empire is Sold Out…but there’s still John Waters!

So I just received an email from the Indie Fest folks stating that the Castro screening of David Lynch’s Inland Empire is now filled to capacity. No rush tickets will be available at the door. Sad news for those of us who were hoping to head to the theater tonight. But, there’s still coolness to [...]

Would you return a bag of diamonds?

I love New York. I know I don’t live there, but the friends I have from there and the people I’ve met when visiting there are just the best. Honest, genuine, friendly and confident, New Yorkers are not always what you see in the movies. Those movies are usually written by and [...]

Chiseen — dvd review

Let me tell you about ABCs. No, not the alphabet, the acronym. It stands for “American Born Chinese” and Daniel Wu is one of the most famous ABC actors of the bunch. Like my brief idolatry of Kiefer Sutherland’s fearless punky vampire leader in Lost Boys, I had a thing for Daniel [...]

Hoku’s at the Kahala Resort — restaurant review — Hawai’i

Ah, Sunday Brunch at Hoku’s. Where else can you get melt-in-your-mouth sake (salmon) nigiri and fresh tender lobster tail (the kind that’s so sweet you devour it without any seasoning or butter) at 10:30 in the morning?
Sure Hoku’s is in one of the prettiest settings; decked in whitest white linens at the [...]

Love stinks in 2007

With Valentine’s Day nearly a week away, it seems evident that world news is trying to tell us something: Love Stinks.
A Fetid Flower for Your Sweetheart? Global warming forces the world’s god-awful smelliest plant to bloom early. The UK’s Eden Project’s Sumatran Titan Arum, also dubbed the Corpse Flower, is also the [...]

Pet Peeves with Regards to Bay Area Driving

So the Mercury News came out with a list of Bay Area driver pet Peeves yesterday. Ranked at number 1 was incorrect merging techniques. That was an interesting choice, but I find that I encounter horrible merges far less than other irksome driving habits. So, I’ve crafted my own list of 5 pet peeves. Check [...]

Sam Choy’s Breakfast, Lunch, Crab & Big Aloha Brewery — restaurant review — Hawai’i

Sam Choy is a big man so his restaurant portions are for big men. Super hefty entrées and heaping piles of country wedge fries await you at Sam Choy’s Breakfast, Lunch, Crab & Big Aloha Brewery, located right next to that infamous tourist trap Hilo Hatties. And oh man you can’t miss it; [...]

MOVIE REVIEW [SHORT FILM] . Sex, Love & Z-Parts

The second short film to be reviewed on Dreamlogic.net comes to us from Marcus Russel, a Los Angeles resident, filmmaker, and philosopher. His Sex, Love & Z-Parts “The Prequel” is a neo-noir/heist/black comedy that aims to represent Generation X’ers as they are, rather than as the media perceives them. Being a proud member of the [...]

Chewbacca cools off in jail

That gurgly Chewbacca roar heard in front of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood California fell silent this Saturday when a fuzzy Star Wars impersonator revoked his personal space and headbutted a tour guide. The man confronted the 6′5″ 44-year-old street actor about harassing two young Japanese tourists and thought he made his point until [...]

Get buff in the buff

Amsterdam and gym membership peddlers never cease to amaze me. Now nudists are invited to join a Dutch gym.
The participants must sit on towels so as not to funkify the gym equipment, which already gets a little gross with the stale sweat layers from dressed guests, but other than that they’ll have [...]

Love conquers all except cigarettes

Not a day goes by that I don’t count my lucky stars that I’m married to my forever love and that I’m so glad I found him. So of course, I’ll continue to post articles about ill-fated marriages so you can all laugh and point at them. Just kidding, it’s horrible news when [...]

La Mer at the Halekulani — restaurant review — Hawai’i

La Mer is one of the most elegant restaurants I’ve been to, and I think that’s actually the best part about it. Don’t get me wrong, the food is nice and the waiters hover attentively to make sure they brush every single crumb before it even flitters to the 800-count tablecloth, but you’ll certainly [...]

Yahoo! is better than sex

…well, it’s the #1 search term on Google anyway, beating out searches for “sex”. I must apologize if you’ve already heard this story.. Chris told me about it last Wednesday and oh my god I have a life and I have work and I’m not a lightning quick blogger like Chris and I kinda [...]

ANIME REVIEW . Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo: Bo-Nafide Protector

Anime loves its afros. Take Afro Samurai and Keroro Gunso, for instance. Or even the stationery character, Afro-ken. All have out-there hair (Keroro often covers his in a helmet) and corresponding out-there fan bases. Maybe it’s because the afro is as fun to draw as it is to admire. Regardless, now you can add [...]

Aqua Teen Hunger Force: Movie Film for Theaters trailer

The Trailer for the Aqua Teen Hunger Force film is finally online. Aqua Teen’s been getting a bit of attention in the news this week due to a gorilla marketing campaing in Boston which featured magnetic light-brite displays of the mooninites flipping you off, “as hard as they can”. Apparently some Boston dumbasses thought these [...]
