Heavenly Sword - Gorgeous Game for PS3 2008-12-01 04:27:00 Heavenly Sword
is a traditional beat-ass-with-a-sword game for the Sony PS3. It stars a scantily-clad young female carrying a pair of very large swords with which hundreds of enemy are laid to waste. It's a simple formula and one we adore.
But, I have to say, this is also one of the most beautiful video games that I have ever seen. The graphics and scenery are a stunning backdrop to the Read more:Heavenly

Excellent Sushi in SF - Ryoko's 2008-12-01 04:14:00 If you are a fan of great sushi and happen to be in San Francisco, may I humbly recommend Ryoko
's. This authentic Japanese restaurant and bar is located close to Union Square at the intersection of Post St. and Taylor St. Ryoko herself and the chefs are all incredibly experienced in the art of Japanese cuisine and the food is incredibly good. The Uni, in particular, was easily the best that I Read more:Sushi
Rant: Pink Parking Spaces 2008-11-25 00:33:00 Holy shit, I thought that I'd seen it all up here in this uber-politically correct Bay Area of ours. I should know damn well that every time you think that bullshit something will definitely surprise you.
For example, I went to the mall the other day. Yes, the mall - that unholy shrine of mass retail consumerism (now, there I go... excuse me) - to pick something up at the Apple store. While Read more:Parking

The Truth About Online Dating (Part Three) 2008-11-17 19:13:00 Match.com: Okay, here's a biggie. This site has (IMO) more qualified candidates than the others out there. Having said that, the signal-to-noise ratio (i.e. the number of women you would be interested in vs. the number you wouldn't be interested in) is still somewhat iffy. But - and this is a big but - these women are all real. They are also really motivated, especially after age 30.
I'd Read more:Dating

The Truth About Online Dating (Part Two) 2008-11-12 16:22:00 Still with me?
So, this is a key distinction. Guys typically want to get laid. Women are looking for relationships. This is especially true on sites like eHarmony.com, Chemistry and anything else where there are hoops for everyone to jump through en route to contact. Don't get me wrong, if you are looking for a relationship these are probably fine places. But, guys, if you just want some Read more:Dating

Kick Ass Book 2008-10-06 19:50:00 I have to say, one of the funniest books that I have ever read is I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell, by one Mr. Tucker Max.
Tucker is an asshole and proud of it. It almost brings a tear to my eye. Anyway, he wrote this to chronicle his adventures in debauchery. Highly recommended.
Get it here: I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell
BTW, Tucker has a great company dedicated to interesting blogs/reading
Clayton Oktoberfest 2008-10-03 01:10:00 Yum! Nice half-liter of Spaten Oktoberfest beer. Spaten seems to be the preferred choice of several of the Bay Area Oktoberfests - and that's perfectly fine with this beer lover.Clayton
is a nice little community in Eastern Contra Costa County tucked up in the foothills and sort of isolated from Concord proper. It's even got a cool western-themed bar called the Clayton Club stuck in the middle
Beer of the Day: Anchor Brewing Company's Anchor Bock 2008-09-27 01:02:00 Friends of the hop, the beer of the day is Anchor Brewing
Company's Anchor Bock Beer. Anchor is a smaller, traditional brewery in San Francisco that makes eight top notch beers, the most popular being the widely-available Anchor Steam. Also note that the cap requires an opener - simple rule of thumb, if it's a twist-off cap it's probably not very good beer. From the label:

Oktoberfest 2008-09-26 14:19:00 Achtung! Oktoberfest is here!This was a damn good hefeweizen, by the way. The Campbell, CA Oktoberfest features Spaten beer amongst others, including the local brews.
If you haven't found a local Oktoberfest to head out to and enjoy, get off your arse and do it now!
Beer of the Day: Hoegaarden 2008-09-25 00:20:00 Friends, the Beer of the Day is Hoegaarden. This is an unfiltered Belgian "witbier" or white beer. It is brewed with spices and coriander, is very light colored and bit cloudy in appearance. It's often served in bars with a slice of orange, which compliments the coriander note added to the brew. Interesting to note, it has been speculated that coriander enhances alcohol's anti-anxie
Pam is HOT! 2008-09-24 01:17:00 Here's a half-nakey shot of Jenna Fischer, who plays Pam on "The Office".
You're welcome.
24 Hour Fitness Sucks! 2008-09-24 00:01:00 Yeah, okay. I have been a 24 Hour Fitness member for about 4 years. I know full well that they suck, but I continue onward anyway. In one respect, that makes me the fool. However, since there are not really any viable alternatives around here...
So, I have been working out about 5 days each week for several months now. One would think that would make me incredibly toned and firm... anyway,

In the beginning... 2008-09-23 01:15:00 In the beginning there was a place for me to spew the filth, disgust and general malaise that I have all bottled up inside of me. I used to be able to relieve the pressure with angry watercolors and urgent trips to the bottom of a bottle of rum.
But no longer.
Now I'll be foisting my inner demons upon the world in the form of this blog.
So suck it.
