“Misdiagnosed With Coma, Belgian Man Communicates After 23 Years” - NY Times
Metallica’s video for “One” used to scare the hell out of me. There was something about a guy losing all physical bodily function but retaining his consciousness that was existentially disturbing. It made me scared and heebie jeebied like when I get too high and think way too hard about the concept of infinity. I was able to move on by telling myself it was just a scary idea, nothing more. Well, now I know it’s not just a scary 80’s metal video, and I’m back to being terrified of becoming trapped in my body with no way of communicating to the outside world. I’m sure I’ll sleep horrifyingly tonight.
Much like Christmas it seems like the Coachella rumor season starts earlier and earlier each year. If they can pull off a festival with Pavement, Hot Chip, LCD Soundsystem, and Jay-Z I’ll be a very happy man.
You want it all but you can’t have it
It’s in your face but you can’t grab it
What is it?
It’s it
What is it?…
FUCK YEAH!
Gene is my role model for today. Anybody got some sweaters I can borrow? They’re for fondue cheddar.
You can’t unsee this! From the LOST Season 5 promo. Here’s a high-res version. WHAAAAT?! (The inset of the statue is obviously added in, but still!)
OH MY GOD!!!!! This is from the Season 5 promo photo and it is NOT photoshopped, I mean it is, but, completely on purpose by the Producers of LOST!!! There’s some more time travel coming up LOST fans!!
What??? Thank god this show is coming back on the air to confuse me, frustrate me, and make my life all-around better. I’m sad to see the show end, but confident its going to go out as one of the best series of all time (right after F Troop).
Sorry everyone, if you need me to do anything on February 2nd at 9:00 pm I’m going to be busy that night.
So long as the premiere doesn’t interrupt my Winter Olympics programming, this is cool.

Step 1: Drive to this North Hollywood apartment building during the appointed hours.
Step 2: Enter code “#141” at the door and get buzzed up to the courtyard.
Step 3: Order food from a friendly husband-wife foodie team preparing Vietnamese and Asian-inspired Mexicali fare out of their kitchen.
Sounds strange, doesn’t it? I will have to admit, while taking the elevator up to the apartment with my two buddies, part of me thought that we would be the next victims of an international organ-harvesting crime ring. I hear livers are the current bodypart-du-jour. Dear criminals: my liver is saddled with tequila residue and will be of no use to you. Thanks.
Instead of being greeted by malevolent ninjas with surgical scalpels, we were instead greeted by Thi and Nguyen, a super-friendly couple who started this venture out of their apartment after realizing Thi’s penchant for visualizing yummy asian-inspired recipes in her mind should be put to good use. Well, consider this a good use.
Each day the couple serves a different dish. I heard other days they have served Taiwanese 3 cup chicken, honey panko-crusted fried tofu balls, chicken meatloaf and hamburger curry Vietnamese rolls. Today they were serving lemongrass chicken or tofu tacos, burritos and sandwiches. We tried one of each. The result was delicious - banh mi-themed vibrant flavor with a retention of wholesomeness. It will be interesting to see if they can retain the homemade aura when and if they decide to scale up their offerings by opening an establishment Downtown. With their inventive yet simple concepts, I have no doubt that they can pull it off.
Amazingly, none of Thi or Nguyen’s neighbors or landlord seem to mind them operating this venture in contravention to a variety of municipal codes. Nguyen explained that none of them wanted to lose access to their food. I don’t blame them. - H. Lee
Starry Kitchen, 11049 McCormick Street, Suite 205, North Hollywood, CA 91601. Buzz code #141. Hours: Sunday from 12-3 pm and Wednesday from 6-9 pm.
Roldy is so right about this place. Free-reakin-diculous. My only regret is not being a competitive eater, which limited me to only having a normal serving size.
SPOILER ALERT! I have an exclusive shot from Showtime’s Dexter spin-off, Trinity Killer Reloaded, premiering next year in my dreams.
