sarah palin set to piano

If you’ve ever thought that Sarah Palin’s speech was a little Avant-Garde … this will clarify things a bit.

not about politics

I like this video, while I may not agree with everything in it, it’s just funny to see Ron Howard up to his old tricks.

Today I stopped for the most perfect meal that has ever been created (at least in my own  opinion).  For those of you “in the know” you’re already aware of the splendor that comes from eating at the best restaurant in Phoenix.  Chino Bandito!  If you’ve never been, it deserves a brief explanation … basically take the best of mexican food, mash it together with a bit of chinese food and add a dash of jamaican food to give it some kick.  There are about 15 items, all of which you can get in a rice bowl … or, you can go for the combination plate.  I don’t think you can go to Chino and only get a rice bowl, so combination plate it is.

Today I ordered a cheese quesidilla filled Emerald Chicken and another cheese quesidilla filled with Jade Red Chicken.  Other amazing items are the Jerk Chicken, Pollo Diablo, Jen Red Pork and the ever popular Chile Releno.  Combos come with 2 items, plain … in a burrito … or in a cheese quesidilla, also a choice of beans and a choice of rice.  Most places I go to, the beans and rice are just throw-away fillers, but not at Chino.  There are 5 kinds of rice to choose from … but only one you need to care about … Jerk Fried Rice!  There are also 2 kinds of beans to choose from … again, only one you need to care about … Black Beans.  These black beans are mashed up and mixed with Jerk seasoning and are the most amazing beans I’ve ever had.

To top it off, the kicker, fresh daily Snickerdoodle cookies for you to salivate over during your entire meal.  The atmosphere is VERY plain, but the food makes up in spades.  Check it out and let me know what you think!

dorm light awesomeness!

slow down

Journalist Carl Honore believes the Western world’s emphasis on speed erodes health, productivity and quality of life. But there’s a backlash brewing, as everyday people start putting the brakes on their all-too-modern lives.

and I thought I wasn’t feeling good

love this bird

the saddest thing I’ve seen

This has to be one of the worst videos I’ve seen in a while.

big announcements

It has been rumored that tonight we’re going to see the introduction of the .mac replacement — MobileMe — which I’ve blogged about in the past.  With that, the AppStore (iPhone), iTunes 7.7 and last but not least, the iPhone 2.0 software update.  I’m in desperate need of some more Apple excitement, since it’s been quite a while since there has been any real interesting developments, punn intended.

I’m hoping that with the newest iPhone software update that I’ll be able to run it using T-Mobile as I have in the past and that I can have access to all the fun new downloads that the AppStore has to offer.  I know a few people who are getting the new iPhone 3G, but I must admit, I’m happy with my current phone and don’t mind waiting until T-Mobile rolls out its own 3G network to upgrade.  In the mean time, I’ll be very excited to see/hear what the next few days brings.
