OOhh you touched my Tra la la OOOhhh my ding ding dong...

Günther is just about the funniest thing to ever come from Scandanavia.





Günther's web page states that his goal is to show the world a more sexual life through his music. gunthernet.com Somewhat jokingly, he lists the most important things in his life as "champagne, glamour, sex, and respect". [1] The sincerity of Günther's movement and music has been questioned and, with little other media coverage, it is difficult to know the truth. Most of his music videos show him… Continue

お好み焼き (Okonomiyaki) from "Gaja"- Super authentic Japanese cuisine



Okonomiyaki (お好み焼き) is a Japanese dish consisting of a pan-fried batter cake and various ingredients. Okonomi means "what you like" or "what you want", and yaki means "grilled" or "cooked" (cf. yakitori and yakisoba); thus, the name of this dish means "cook what you like". In Japan, okonomiyaki is mainly associated with Kansai or Hiroshima areas, but is widely available throughout the country. Toppings and batters tend to vary according to region.

Shu Uemura- Awesome Japanese cosmetics/skincare line



I have been using Shu Uemura for about 4 years now. It always seems like whenever I tell someone I use their products, they've never heard of the line.... which is NUTS because its awesome.

They're mostly known for their false lashes, which I use religiously. I started using them after chemo when I didn't have any lashes. Their lashes are so natural looking and easy to apply. They aren't the cheapest around, but I really feel you get what you pay for.

These… Continue

McDonalds online game- be a fast food exec!



This game is so much fun!

It lets you raise cattle and feed, then take the cows to slaughter and then to the stores. All the while you have to make the execs happy by paying for marketing, and lobbyists and all that other corporate goodness.

Make sure you keep your crops healthy! Don't let your cows get sick! Better keep your employees happy! Don't give the consumers food poisoning!



THEN you've got to deal with growth issues: To use hormones or not to use… Continue

Problem.



Solution:



I bought a cookbook the other day at Nordstrom called the Friends… Continue

Kimpton hotels: Chic modern boutique hotels- Hotel Nine Zero in Boston-



I was recently in Boston on a business trip, and stayed at the Nine Zero Hotel. I'd never stayed at a Kimpton Hotel, but I will definitely look for them whenever I am traveling now. The hotel had great friendly staff, and awesome amenities for decent prices.

Located right on the freedom trail in Boston, the hotel is in a great location right across the street from the graveyard that holds not only Sam Adam's grave, but also the grave of the people killed in the Boston… Continue

Everything seems to be really high quality, made of good hardwoods and beautiful fabrics.

"The Room"

Does this look familiar?



Most people driving around West Hollywood have seen the sign... but most people have no idea what it is about. The room is this terrible movie, that is so bad, its genius. It plays every last Saturday of the month at Laemmle's in WeHo. Its this movie that was made to be a drama, but it ends up as comedy complete with a 5 minute long discusting sex scene where you have to watch this gross middle aged man-ass go up and down. They call it "the… Continue

"Taking Steps" at South Coast Repertory- HILARIOUS PLAY!

I saw "Taking Steps" at South Coast Rep last night. This play is so funny. The acting is a little over the top at times, and the accents aren't stellar, but it is superbly written, and the comedic timing is impeccable. Anyone who enjoys comedic theatre should see this play.

Tickets can be bought at www.scr.org

Just get through the first 10 minutes, and you'll LOVE the play.
