:EDUCATED IN THE WEST

Neela’s final episode in the ER was last night. I enjoyed it, especially the ending. I hate Dr. Brenner, the David Lyons character who’s the last in-hospital love interest for Neela. Ugh. And if I didn’t know any better, I’d say that the British actress who plays Neela on TV has [...]

I was going to write a different post tonight, but it’s getting late and I have a job/interview [sic] tomorrow morning. So, in lieu of the post I had planned, I want to bring to your attention a musician I’m just getting into. His name is Rabbi (RUB-bee) Shergill and he hails from [...]

A few weeks ago, I read something that I found to be profoundly sad. The news evoked a sense of melancholy, though I first became aware of it years and years ago.
The planet that we live on faces long-term peril. No, it’s not from global warming or melting ice caps or mass extinctions. [...]

So, I learned that my favorite actor might be appearing on a certain CBS show next week. It’s not entirely confirmed yet since I’ve got three different results from looking up three different sites. That is, it’s not entirely clear yet if this actor will actually be on the show.
Now, this show is [...]

I went to school with one of the actors in the movie linked below. It was a surprise to see him in the trailer. I recognized him almost right away. I guess I’m not really surprised that he’s acting now. I remember that he was into it back in the day. [...]

Yesterday I came across a couple of quotes that I found to be amusingly ridiculous:
The first is by Jamie Foxx, star of the new movie, The Kingdom. It’s from a Newsweek Q&A column. The reporter asks, “Does your sister tell you off?” Fox replies:
“Oh, yeah. She doesn’t even call me Jamie. [...]

I just watched the trailer for The Comebacks, a comedic spoof of the same species as Scary Movie, Not Another Teen Movie and the like. This spoof is about sports films and skewers, among others, Radio, Dodgeball, Invincible and a little movie called Bend It Like Beckham. Although the film appears to be [...]

Sorry, all.  70 hour weeks and back-to-back weddings have wreaked havoc on my summer blogging plans.  It should all calm down in a couple of weeks when I leave my summer law job in downtown for the leafy tranquility of WCU.
If you’ve got not much else going on, check out this great LA Times article [...]

(Mega points to anyone who can actually remember the song linked below.)
We were getting our dinner deliveries at work tonight when someone asked me why all the food bags had the number 19 written on them.  What was the significance of 19?  Being a child of the eighties, I said, “The average age….”

It’s my first Fourth of July as an American citizen!  To celebrate, I want to re-post a link to a great video honoring the first American President, George Washington.  Enjoy!

I’m busy preparing for section meetings tomorrow, so no real post for today. Sorry. However, I thought I’d point you to a couple of interesting videos–interesting to me, that is.
The first is a music video. Have any of you out there ever wondered how you’d be different if you were of another [...]
