Reality Remixed: Like Disco Lemonade
What better place than here?
What better time than now?

So, the week in review.  My apologies for not updating sooner.

- Transformers.  Oh dear Lord, I loooooooved this movie.  I apparently walked out of it with a huge smile on my face, clapping my hands and yelling “yay Transformers!” prompting my friends to tell me that I had apparently regressed to being 7 years old.  I recommend it if you want a big, dumb summer movie that kicks effing ass.  I can pretty much sum it up in three words:  Shit.  Blows.  Up.
- Pizzeria Mozza, which is so great, it’s been written up already in Bon Appetit and The New York Times, even though it’s a Los Angeles restaurant.  A friend of mine made reservations literally a month ago, and the first available slot was this weekend.  But hot damn, was it worth it.  The food was amazing, and it was well worth the wait.  To make things even more awesome, James Spader showed up while we were there!
- Work finally slowed down.  The feature article I wrote came out, and it looks pretty awesome.  I got to interview the guy who runs KROQ and one of the people who helped relaunched K-Rock in New York, and my bosses specifically asked me to turn this around on short notice, so I’m glad I was able to deliver.
- Sicko.  I have to admit that the movie actually frightened me to think that despite the fact that I have health insurance, I may actually not be in a position to be helped should something happen to me.  While people are talking about how Michael Moore may have fudged some of the facts and glossed over some things, it still makes some points about how our healthcare system in this country is pretty much broken.  Then again, what in this country isn’t right now?  I recommend this one too.

Meanwhile, over in Nevada, a couple are claiming their Internet addiction caused them to neglect their kids.  Honestly, what the hell, people?  We have become such a nation of negligence and passing the buck and blaming others for our own faults.  This is getting a little out of hand — they neglected their kids and they’re blaming effing Dungeons & Dragons?
