Miso Japanese Cuisine

I mustn't forget my terrific meal at Miso on Halloween. I'd read about the place and tried it for the first time. This was my selection of sushi. Yum!

I wasn't sure if the waitress was in Harajuku gear or just Halloween clothes, but it was a fun atmosphere.

And I know it's going to sound wrong, but I appreciate it when I'm eating "ethnic" cuise and there are typos on the menu. Tells me the people writing it have English as their second language - MEANS THE FOOD IS AUTHENTIC.

They spelled "Budwizer" with a "Z". And they made "Budlite" one word, for 'eff sake! I love that!

Angeline's Louisiana Kitchen

Had a delicious meal at Angeline's in Berkeley last weekend. The shrimps were delicious, the green beans crisp and fresh, but...
...my side order of sauteed Brussels sprouts w/sage-garlic brown butter was KICK ASS! I mean, I could have eaten nothing else but this. I look at this picture and my mouth waters...

...sure the dessert of beignets were tasty, but I wanted MORE BRUSSELS SPROUTS!

MTV Europe Awards 2008

The show happened last night in Liverpool. The lads from Tokio Hotel where there and got some weird, made-up award. I won't even bother finding out what it is...but it's worth posting these nifty pics. Bill - the lead singer - is truly a freak, but I admire him for going out in public like that. The girl has balls!

Oh and Bono gave Paul some sort of Rock God award. I like seeing them cupcaking...!

Mixed Emotions

"And as the presidential gallery gained a face of color, who would have thought that 70% of people of color who voted, would support writing discrimination into a Constitution...."

Estelle "American Boy"

I love how she sings a bit behind the beat, in that sweet, slurred voice. Reminds me of a kinder, gentler, less stoned Billie Holiday or Amy Winehouse or Corrine Baily Rae.
