lots of big names on the leaderboard on nbc, serena in the finals at the us open starting in minutes on cbs and week one football all over my remote. if there were any soccer on today my skills as a watcher would be seriously tested.

Will you Oregonians go to check out my friend Garrett's latest project?
He is opening a restaurant tonight in your great city, it is called 'The Imperial'. He has been running restaurants for many years. This is the first one that he is doing from the ground up.
He is the person that I have been trying to introduce to Skinny for a while now. You guys may have already crossed paths.
I have only seen pictures; the place looks like they are serious about what they are doing.
really hard to take obama seriously when he punted away a filibuster proof majority in congress. if he wanted to be fdr, he blew his chance.
((could not agree more on the Vietnamese comment) The New York Restaurant Wish List By THE NEW YORK TIMES Pete Wells: A really first-rate Cantonese restaurant, like what Hakkasan could have been if the quality were as high as the prices. A spectacle with better than average food, where tourists will feel like they saw New York and New Yorkers will feel like they weren’t ripped off. (In other words, the kind of place that the Rainbow Room was under Joe Baum.) A Moroccan restaurant with a chef who pays attention to ingredients. More, and better, restaurants in Harlem, Bedford-Stuyvesant and the Bronx. And a place that does for Vietnamese food what Ayada, Sripraphai or, in a slightly different vein, Pok Pok Ny have done for Thai.

Super geeky digital cinema talk: Michael Cioni prepping for a 4 K World. Man, the tech at the top end (Hollywood) is amazing. If I'm understanding right, Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was shot in 5K and the final product (not dailies, etc..., just the final film itself) was 51TB! And holy cow, I'd never heard of the Clipster before - what a monster.
