Karaoke Room 2

I could have sworn there was already a Karaoke Room 2 but by the McCully Times supermarket(?). Maybe that was Karaoke Room 1? I even asked the clerk about it and I’ve already forgotten the info. Erg, I have got to pay attention. It was awesome ‘cos you could get drinks [...]

Gamba Karaoke

We love this place so much that we wanted to keep it a secret. But we also love this place so much that we had to try to drum up some business for them. Go Gamba!
Before we found this place, South Bay karaoke hunts were all about masking feeling uncomfortable while a Korean [...]

*UPDATED* Deja vu! Is MyTopia the return of ImagiNation Network?

Okay, so it’s not helmed by Sierra, but the look is strikingly similar. Check out the ImagiNationand MyTopia menu screens below. See the similarities? Pretty hard not to, I’d imagine.

MyTopia

Regardless, ImagiNation Network was one of my favorite pre-internet hotspots, and I’d be more than happy if MyTopia could recreate some of that magic. I’ve [...]

Ad Alarm - Whoa Wrinkles!

(Ad found on moviefone.com) I’m not sure what’s more frightening, this ad or that women who shell out big bucks for “miracle goop” that they believe will erase time. In this case, a lot of time. The helpful Flash slider “wipes” away the wrinkles, displaying the sandblasted face of the “same but new [...]

Update from Chris, March 2008

Just an update as to our forthcoming review titles. Things have been extremely hectic this past week, so most likely I won’t have time for a new review until later this week. Still, we have a lot of stuff in the cooker, so there’s no shortage of material to write about.
In the mainstream theatrical circuit [...]

Gay for a Day — We were Harvey Milk extras!

Woowoo! Today Chris and I spent the day getting kinda sunburnt and cheering ourselves hoarse in front of Sean Penn* for the new Gus Van Sant movie Milk, a biopic on Harvey Milk, California’s first openly gay elected official. I have no idea if we’re even visible, but we’re about three rows behind [...]

Video Find . A Preview of the Beijing Olympics?

Caught this video on YouTube Today. It depicts a women’s soccer match between Korea and China, and a pretty blatant case of cheating. The video itself has all the necessary explanation, so just jump on in and watch below.

Did your child eat battered cows?

“Downer Cows”, or cattle much too weak to stand on their own, left to lay in their own (and fellow cows’) feces for hours, obviously have a higher risk of disease, obviously are in excruciating pain. Less obvious is how workers for Westland/Hallmark Meat Company continued to illegally and inhumanely kick, shock, and drag [...]

ANIME REVIEW [Guest] . Ragnarok The Animation Volume 2

So the anime reviews seem to be popular, not just with readers, but with guest reviewers as well! The latest guest review comes from longtime friend and literati Jeremy Walker. Read on for his review.
Disclaimer #1:
I have never played, nor have I even watched someone else play, the Ragnarok Online M.M.O.R.P.G. (massively multiplayer online role-playing [...]

RonPaul.com sells for $25k

Ron Paul, dreamlogic.net fave Republican Presidential hopeful (totally media-snubbed despite his overwhelming “underground” popularity — amazing record-breaking campaign fundraising and high finish in Nevada), has no affiliation whatsoever with RonPaul.com… well, not yet anyway. Recently, RonPaul.com (formerly a Portland consulting firm) sold on eBay for $25,000. The winning bidder’s id, domaininsider, leads me [...]

MOVIE REVIEWS [In Brief] . Chasing Ghosts, Naked Avengers, Abominable, Excel Saga

So in the interest of cleaning out my queue, this past weekend I decided to kick back and watch a few bargain flicks I’ve picked up over the past year, but haven’t had time to watch. Sadly, with most of these I would have probably been better off had I left them in the queue. [...]

New Year, New Shows

As you probably already know, Kris and I don’t really watch television shows, but this year I’m actually trying to take advantage of some bite-sized entertainments. And, so far, some have actually proven entertaining. So, here’s a quick rundown of things I’ve been taking a look at.
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
You’re probably already watching this [...]

Separated at Birth: Lena Headey and Lara Flynn Boyle

We caught the new Terminator television series two-night premiere and I got to thinking that Lena Headey (from 300, who plays Sarah Conner in the series) looked like Lara Flynn Boyle.
For shits and giggles, I looked up Lena Headey and Lara Flynn Boyle on imdb, and here are the first images I found. [...]

Great scott Marty! GM’s making fuel out of trash for less than $1/gallon!

When you saw Doc Brown in Back to the Future II “gassing up” his time-traveling DeLorean with banana peels and garbage, didn’t you think “wow, what a great idea! Why doesn’t someone get on making that a reality?” GM execs must’ve thought that, too.
General Motors, close to being toppled as the world’s top-selling [...]

Happy Holidays!!

Take good care of yourself and your loved ones and enjoy it while you can.. at least until the ACLU ceases picketing to [...]

2007’s Films We Would Watch Again (and some we would not)

So it’s time for another go round of Dreamlogic.net’s “Best o’ the Year Picks”. For those who aren’t familiar, this is basically our list of favorite films for the year. These are not necessarily films that are of high technical or artistic merit, or those which have received major critical praise. Instead, this is [...]
