My Picks for the Week V

Wow I actually went more than a week without posting anything here. Shame on me. Here is what I found particularly interesting this week.

1. Lake Placid 2: During dinner a few days ago, we turned on the TV to find this movie playing on Sci-Fi. This movie is sooooo bad. It is probably the worst movie I have seen in 5 years. I don’t mean Gigli bad. That was actually a horrible movie. I think it is on par with Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever. Bad but entertaining. If you’re in the mood for a giant crocodile eating people, this is the movie for you. Except beware that watching this too long might rot your brain beyond repair.

2. Top Gear: If you don’t watch Top Gear already. Shame on you. This British automotive television show is just plain brilliant. It offers the perfect combination of nerdiness, humor, action, and suspense. I can’t imagine a person that wouldn’t find this funny. As long as you know what a car is, watch this show. I can guarantee that you will be hooked.\

3. Onitsuka Tiger: These shoes are by far the best I’ve ever had. Japanese shoe company Asics actually used to be called Onitsuka back in the day. They brought back the Onitsuka name to sell retro shoes for the more fashionable crowd. I like them because they are flexible. The sole is very thin. So, you get this tactile feel of the ground that nothing except socks can provide. The uppers are usually made of pretty flexible material too so the shoe feels conforms with the body.

Keep a look out for a complete revamp of the site. I am going to be moving to a simpler, slicker look that better incorporates my identity.
