German Restaurants

Soys Sushi - Yep, just needed a bit of a raw fish fix while in Germany and Dresden has this place. Not a huge selection but the tuna was quite nice. And the guy on the left? He's Hmong. The German/Hmong accent cracked me up.
Didn't even attempt eating here. I'm sure it would have been serviceable, but the menu looked pretty scary. And while their website is flashy, not sure what the hell is going on.
Finally...just a guy wearing his own grill serving sausages. Click on it to get a closer look. Oh and no...didn't try this either. sigh...

Disembodied Germans

Sometimes art does imitate life. In this instance, the ass is the best part!


Gordon Kennedy aka Little John



Season 2 of "Robin Hood" on BBC America ended last week with a shocker. So shocking that I'm still thinking about it a week later!

I did some quick searches for the show and came up with this interview with Gordon Kennedy who plays Little John. Needless to say, he's one of my favorites on the show :) In the penultimate episode he was terrific.

Enjoy the Scottish accent!

Fettes Brot

While in Germany, my cousin's son told me about this group he is currently listening to. Said they were the coolest thing. I took his advice and bought a copy of this song in a maxi-single form. He's 13 or 14 (can't remember). He was right on about his Tokio Hotel recommendation, so I thought, "why not?"

Well, I finally listen to the song back home. That chorus? According to FreeTranslation.com, loosely translates to: "Bettina pack your breasts on. Bettina accused you please somewhat on."

Makes sense why this young teen boy would like this song. Watch the video and you can tell what it's about - BOOBS translate in any language!

Oh and Fettes Brot = Fat Bread!

Sunset Blvd. - Betty Buckley


Holy crap! What a great find! This was from the Olivier Awards in London way back when.

Not only is it Betty - my darling! - but John Barrowman as Joe Gillis. John is swell in "Torchwood" and a great singer. I like seeing him in this.

Idina - Memorial Day


Some more video of "the gal". I just love it that Taye Diggs is just opening doors for her, hanging out in the back in a bow tie... how hot is that?

Who is that w/ Ronnie?

At their Hollywood star ceremony, people kept wondering who the fuck was with Ronnie Dunn? Looks kinda like Paul Michael Glaser? Must be "the other half"...Mrs Dunn...I mean Kix Brooks.

Ronnie needs a haircut.

Loretta Lynn

Loretta played a gig over the weekend in New Jersey. According to the NY Times (Aug 4, 2008) wasn't having the best of eveings.

"A back operation had been causing her pain, she said, so would those in the audience mind if she performed the remainder of the show sitting down?"

"Her voice was unsteady, like a radio station coming in and out of reception. The songs required little stamina, but it often felt like Ms. Lynn barely had even that."

"There was blistering humor... (even though Ms. Lynn forgot some lyrics) and vicious spark...the disjointed set’s conclusion Ms. Lynn’s signature song, the autobiographical “Coal Miner’s Daughter,” arrived like a punch."

BUT DOESN'T SHE LOOK FABULOUS IN THAT PURPLE GOWN!
