Check out me and my buddy’s food review/food related blog site. We’re planning on redesigning in the future and adding more interactive features, but for now we’re hoping it builds some steam. We’ve been pretty impressed with the enthusiasm of our contributing writers thus far…

I switched desks yesterday and now have a window - which is really nice since I needed 2 lamps to light my old desk.

I was driving down Constitution ave. tonight just a little while after game 7 of the Capitals, Flyers game. The traffic report on the radio was in the middle of reporting on a traffic jam right near me following the hockey game and BAM! just as I passed the White House I see an SUV from PA smash into the back of a local Virginia car as a huge brawl ensues. I mean it was like 16 people at least, throwing drunkin haymakers old-school-style. My window was open and I was just feet from the fight… I’m assuming it must’ve been feuding fans, and DAMN are they stupid. First of all don’t even get me started on how stupid sports fans can get, but directly in front of the White House!? I calls that insta-jail. Oh the humanity.

Say hi to me. I might say hi back if this ends up actually working. I also might live to regret posting this.

Ever wonder who actually ownes the car companies of the world? Here’s a simple complicated chart that explains it all…

I like to see movies without knowing anything about them beforehand, and tonight I saw “Die Fälscher” or “The Counterfeiters” - which is hands down, one of the best films I’ve seen in awhile. I love WWII era movies and this dramatic, Austrian indy film was one of the best in that vein. The film is based on a true story and at times difficult to watch due to its Nazi subject matter… I don’t want to give anything away so just trust me on this one and go see it.

I also recently watched the English comedy “Death at a Funeral” which was absolutely hilarious and extremely well written. I highly recommend renting it on a night when you need to laugh until you cry. It was about time a good comedy came around too, I was getting a little sick of Will Ferrel’s recent, disappointing flops.

Ok… as an update to my recent post “Karma’s a B*tch” I thought I’d run down the events which have led to a ‘karsmic shift’ (if-you-will) in my life. As it turned out, a few days after I lost my wallet (and canceled my cards) my mom received a phone call from a woman who had found my wallet. I had my mom’s business card in my wallet so the good Samaritan must have put 2 and 2 together; which is really cool because despite the inconvenience it was almost more the loss of the wallet itself which sucked… it has sentimental value. I’ve had it for over 6 years and it still performs like a champ.

Then… last night I bought a mega millions lottery ticket for the tuesday night drawing and lo and behold, I tripled my money. Uhhhh… yeah it was a dollar, but the extra $2 bought be a bottled water and half a bagel. So in light of these recent events I would say there has most definitely been a Karsmic shift in my Karma… now if I could only hit the ACTUAL jackpot, right?

I thought I’d attach a few photos I shot with my blackberry (so pardon the image quality)… my desk at my new job, a nearby coffee shop bathroom sign, and Greg McStinzweed (wherein Gregor dons a stash) driving back from the Mexican ristorante last week…
