Rays of hate are currently burning into the backs of ….

People Who Go On Trips To Foreign Lands Only To Come Back And Talk Incessantly About Said Trip: Vacations are great. Trips to foreign lands are great. But you know what’s not great? When people come back and then feel the need to go on and on and on and on about how moving, spiritual, amazing, beautiful, life changing, insert meaningful adjective here, their trip was. Recently, a friend of my roommate stopped through for a few nights on her way back home to Santa Cruz from a trip to India. She showed up at like 11:30 pm with a backpack, a sleeping bag and a photo album that was about 2 inches thick. Evidently she had the pictures developed in India and then put the whole thing together on her return flight. Can we say neurotic? Do you even know how many undeveloped rolls of film I have sitting in my junk drawer? Undeveloped film is the reason I went digital in the first place. But I digress. Anyhoo, this visitor felt it was appropriate and okay to bust out this massive photo album at damn near midnight on a Tuesday and proceed to give an oral report on every minute detail of her trip. I lasted about 10 minutes and then discreetly excused myself and went to my room citing “work in the morning” as the reason for my departure. According to my roommate they were up until 2:30 am listening to her drone on about India and how “magical” it was. All I could think to myself in my head was “white people are stupid”. Instead I said, “wow, it sounds like she had an amazing time”. But you all know what I would have preferred to say. Moral of the story is travel. Travel lots. Have a magical time. Find yourself in the underdeveloped cultures of the world. Gain perspective on your life, grow spiritually. Do whatever you want there. Just keep the details to your damn self and don’t waste my time telling me about it. I don’t give a fuck.

New Resturants That Don’t Understand The Concept of Hot Food: I love food. I am obsessed with all things food related and I find the culinary arts captivating. I like to think that I am an epicurean of sorts. A new restaurant opened in my neighborhood called Tamal - vino y mas(a). Their deal is Mexican tapas - intriguing but not entirely original. Their menu has several types of tamales and other assorted takes on traditional Mexican dishes served up small plates styles. All the flavors are very Nuevo Latino which I am slightly skeptical about yet also intrigued by. So last night a friend and I went down there for dinner. We tried a good sampling of their small menu, Tamal de Puerco, Tamal de Camaron, Tamal de Creole, Tacos de Atun, Chile Relleno, Empanaditas de Cangrejo. It was all really lovely. The flavors were nice and balanced. Presentation was good. But the recurring problem was the actual temperature of the food. Each of the plates that came out were warm but not hot. Which basically meant that last few bites of each plate were cold. I despise cold food. It is my opinion that your meal should remain hot the entirety of your meal. Since literally each plate had one tamal or a taco there is no reason for it to be luke warm or cold by the end. Someone needs to tell that chef to get up on the heat. Shiiiit. Also we got a coconut lime creme brulee and it was abismal. The sugar did not fully caramalize…it was brown but it did not crack when you tapped it with a spoon. What’s that about. Also the custard itself was broken. It was not all satiny and delicious as it could have been. The flavor was nice but no one wants a broken custard.

Player Of The Week

WILMER VALDERAMA - Some of you may know him as the former arm candy of Lindsay Lohan (he banged her when she was under 18 and not quite crazy famous), some of you (the ones who really follow gossip) may also remember him as the guy who also banged Mandy Moore fresh off the teen pop circut then again some of you may just know him as that douchey latin guy with a lisp from that 70s show. Regardless of how you know him, I think we can all appreciate this photo here. What a look. Real classy. He looks like I feel on most Friday nights. Let’s hear it for the boy for keeping it real….real drunk. In his defense, this picture was taken at his private birthday party. Tara Reid was there….unfortunately she looked pretty normal except she had a massive zit on her chin…but we all get zits so who am I to poke fun at her. Ahh fuck it here she is sporting the death star on her chin…

Now that we are on the topic of Tara here are a few images of her from the release party for her horrid so called movie…
