Fist pump

Tanning beds, Ed Hardy apparel, greasy hair and abs, this can only mean one thing, the Jersey Shore is back. Snooki, The Situation, Pauly D are just some of the personalities on this wildly popular show about guidos and guidettes.

Nerd fest errrrrrrr Comicon 2010

Have you ever wanted to dress up like a Jabba the Hut sex slave, like Princess Leia in Return of the Jedi? How bout pasting some rubber pointy ears on, so you can resemble a hobbit. Well Comicon is your chance to join other nerds, errrrrr enthusiasts who share your passion. Every year San Diego Convention center becomes the center of the universe for the comic book industry, and starting in the early eighties hollywood has also been a major player at this expo of all things dorky. Every big studio uses the event to hype up major motion picture releases, and to gauge fan reaction to the material. Star, after star is rolled out infront of a live audience for a Q & A about their latest project. Bad buzz at Comicon can mean instant death for a project, fans rabidly critique every bit of info, and blogs are a driving force that hollywood covets. Look for big announcements all weekend long on such blockbuster wannabes like the Green Hornet, Captain America, Thor, and Batman 3. To me this is just another example of how the geeks have taken the world. Rock on geeks, may you live long and prosper.

Blog-O-Rama 7-20-10

Lindsay, Mel, Starcraft 2, Arod, lots to talk about and so little time. Let's start with Lolo: Puta you deserve everything that's happening to you. Put down the bottle, stop popping pills, then worry about your so called career, hey Robert Downey Jr. did it. Mel Gibson: Poor guy has gone crazy. Mel you pubicly slammed the Jews, cheated on your wife, and beat up your girlfriend. I think Danny Glover needs to step in and stop you before you spit on young cancer patients, or burn down orphanages. Starcraft two: is a long awaited PC strategy game sequel, 12 years in the making. Reportedly the budget for this game exceeded 100 million dollars. Good lord that's alot of money, for half that I'd dress up like an alien and allow computer nerds hunt me on a remote desert Island. Arod: is a steroid using tip frosting metro sexual who plays for the Yankees. He is approaching homerun # 600, typically this is a huge deal. But Gay Rod has admitted he used a performance enhancer while playing for the Rangers. I am conflicted, anyone who can post these kind of #'s in the MLB should be celebrated. But much like down town Manhattan a stench will hang over Arods remaining career.

Missing signal

Ipods, Ipads, Imacs, Iphones, are amongst the most desired electronics in the world. Apple has a reputation for great quality, and space age innovation, so how the hell did they mess this up so bad. Rumors of an engineer personally warning Steve Jobs, and speculation of Apple rushing the Iphone into production have caused Apple stock to drop sharply. Since it's release consumers have complained of dropped calls due to low or non existing signal strength. Up until today the computer giant had suggested there wasn't much of a problem and that users should learn not to hold the phone with the so called Death Grip. So today Jobs is offering Iphone owners a protective case free of charge. I'm not an owner of an Iphone but to me this falls short of fixing the problem. It's like a bike company selling a bike with a faulty front wheel, then offering owners a helmet and saying don't ride this bike on both wheels. This is far from a crisis but the lack of a real response makes me wonder. I understand their position that no company is perfect, but the Iphone isn't billed as a less than perfect device. If your gonna sell an item with this as is policy, consumers deserve an as is price.

Pulpo Fiction

If you have ever doubted that animals are smarter than us here is iron clad proof of it. Paul the psychic octupus(Pulpo in spanish) accurately forecasted games in the world cup, including Germany's loss to the Spaniards, and Spains world cup victory over the Netherlands. All this new found fame, has made Paul a cult hero. So much so that a Spanish zoo has offered to buy the tentacily one. A spokes person for the zoo aquariam says Paul would be treated "with tender loving care" because of his national treasure status in Spain. The cost is apparently of no concern either the zoo is willing to pay any price including all the logistics. But the German owners have refused these offers, quote "Paul will not be leaving Germany". For those of you who have been wishing to personally consult the oracle of the sea, a new phone app will be available soon. Finally a way to resolve conflicts and make difficult decisions like: Do I get whip cream with my chai latte frappuchino? What questions do you have for Paul?

Kitchen Mission: Chicken soup

Que onda peeps, I want to share a delicious recipe for chicken soup, with a Mexi twist.

Ingredients for soup: Chicken Breasts, long grain rice, olive oil, salt, ground black pepper, garlic, tyme, rosemary, paprika, Chef Merito Chicken Seasoning, basil, onion, celery, carrots, italian squash.

Ingredients for fresh salsa: Cilantro, onion, tomato, jalapeno, oregano, lime, salt, pepper.

Soup Instructions:
Start by cubing 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, next finely chop up an onion(set aside half for the salsa), finely chop two stalks of celery. Heat up a 6 to 8 quart stock pot, pour 5-6 table spoons of olive oil, add celery and onion stir fry til onions are translucent. Add about 5 quarts of water to the pot and let it boil before you add your cubed chicken breast. Season with salt and pepper to taste, light at first you can always add salt later. Put in three mashed up cloves of garlic, followed by a teaspoon of tyme, rosemary, paprika, and basil. Top it off with one table spoon of chicken seasoning, cover the pot and let it boil for about 45 minutes over a medium flame. Chop up two carrots, and one italian squash into bite size cubes. Toss in the carrots and 1/2 a cup of rice continue to boil wait ten minutes then add the squash. Set the flame to high for about five minutes, then turn the heat off and leave pot covered wait 15-20 minutes then serve.

Salsa Instructions:

Finely chop up one handful of Cilantro, 1/2 an onion, 6-7 tomatoes, and one jalapeno. (REMOVE SEEDS FIRST FOR LESS HEAT) Salt and pepper to taste, squeeze one lime for juice, sprinkle two teaspoons of oregano and mix.

I like to top my bowl of soup with 2-3 tablespoons of salsa, and if you really wanna jazz it up slice some avocado wedges and add crushed tortilla chips.

Let me know if you try this recipe and how it turns out. Remember to taste the soup before serving you can always add more seasoning at the end.
