Mexican Rankings:
Disclaimer: All results were judged under the influence of alcohol.
Ultimately the decision to judge salsa and cheese dip at local Mexican places turned out to be like judging who has the better 89 Octane petro at your local gas station. It's all basically the same. But in the spirit of competition, here are the results:
Places judged:
- Los Pilares
- Happy Mexican
- Los Compadres
- Happy Mexican- I actually have some video of their cheese and salsa, but I don't for the rest, so I'm not using it. (and really, who wants to see a bowl of salsa?). Happy Mexican gets the win because I like non-chunky salsa and I like it a little hot. First time I went there a few months ago, the salsa was the perfect consistency, but lacked in the flavor (hot) department. I've been back many times since and every time the consistency has remained the same, but it has also been a little hotter too.
- Tie- Los Pilares and Los Compadres - They were the exact same. A little chunky, good flavor. I would not be able to tell the difference if you put them in front of me.
- Three Way Tie - I love cheese dip, and when it comes to Mexican restaurants, they all taste the same.
Grizzlies:
So Kobe misses 18 days and then notices the Grizz on the schedule and say, "Hmm, there's an easy 30, I'll come back against them." Damn! Maybe he'll come out rusty or disrupt the rhythm the Lakers have had while he's been out. But probably not. We need this one. We have to stay above .500, we just have to. Looks like we'll be battling NO and Houston for the 8th spot currently held by the Blazers. So we still have to jump all three of those teams. Yikes. Having Ronnie Brewer during this crucial stretch would have been nice, but his hammy had other ideas. Brewer was doing exactly what he was suppose to, getting the steal in the open court and about to go in for the finish and he pulls up lame with the torn hamstring. That's like getting to second base with some new-new and you're rounding the bases and you realize she's on the rag....for a month. So while you're waiting out that month, and still excited about the potential outcome, you also realize a lot could happen in that month. Can the Grizz keep it together long enough to get Brewer back in the mix and still make a charge for the 8th spot? If we stay around .500, then we will not be a factor. We have to start winning games and put together another run. Brrr!
Movies:
Shutter Island - Really good movie. Slightly predictable, but the ending is ridonkulous. ***Spoiler Alert*** So at the end of the movie when Leo's sitting there with Mark Ruffalo and he's saying, "They can't hold us. We could get out of here" or whatever and Ruffalo looks at the docs and shakes his head that he is not "healed" or whatever. But then Leo voluntarily walks with the orderlies to get his brain scrambled by that ice pick. He would rather live as a ghost with no knowledge of his situation than live with knowing he killed his wife after she murdered their kids. He was healed! And he still went with them! That's pretty fucked. The more I think about the movie, the more I like it. 3.445 stars out 4.
District 9 - I was told by a friend that whatever you expect out of this movie, it's completely different. And he was right. Yes, it's about aliens, but really it's about way more than that. And the gore and stuff is almost comical. Very well done. I can't even really explain the plot without giving away too much. You just have to watch it. 2.59 out of 4.
Look a Like
I know these pictures don't do it justice but, they do look a little alike. On the left is one hit wonder, Roscoe Dash. On the right is Rajon Rondo.
But don't just base it on those pics (it was tough to find a picture of Roscoe's face). Check out the video and tell me they don't look alike.
Maybe it's just me.
