Brittany Murphy: The Ramen Girl vs. Tampopo
The Japanese take food seriously. This is the land of the Iron Chef and Kobayashi. It’s not just good enough to make food that people will enjoy, one must strive to be the best! When I think about the perfect bowl of ramen, two movies come to mind- The Juzo Itami classic Tampopo, and the straight to DVD 2008 Brittany Murphy film, The Ramen Girl.
Most Americans’ familiarity with...

According to this, AT&T 3G rocks it in LA. →
I love charts and graphs. I also have an iPhone on AT&T so this test by Gizmodo is very interesting to me. They chart 12 top cities and test out the top four carrier’s 3G download and upload speeds. Then they show you what neighborhoods they charted in. Seems in downtown LA (where I live close to) the 3G download speeds are around 2.7mb/s! I think that’s faster than my DSL at...

A Pedotacular Trip to Little Tokyo
I love Little Tokyo in Downtown Los Angeles. It’s just like Tokyo, only much much smaller. After a delicious bowl of veggie ramen at Mr. Ramen I walked through the quaint strip of Japanese gift shops and stopped at one that caught my eye. I don’t remember the name, but it was probably something like Japan Market or Unique Japanese Gifts or Tokyo Gift Center Unique!

You Gotta Have Faith.
friend: there's still time, I have faith he's gonna call
me: George Michael said you gotta have faith.
friend: i know right
me: and I do whatever George Michael tells me
me: In fact, I just kicked off my Sunday shoes.
friend: wait that is Footloose...Kenny Loggins
me: oh shit you're right
me: I always confuse Footloose with Wake Me up Before you Go Go
Noodle Battle: Shojin vs. Gingergrass
It’s getting cold, even here in LA, and what’s better on a cold day than a hot bowl of noodles? Vegetarian noodle dishes can be tricky, most soup stock is made with chicken or pork broth. Luckily, I’ve found some places that serve a 100% veggie option. Let’s see how these two different noodle dishes compare to each other, shall we?

Stop making me love you, Natalie Portman! →
Natalie Portman: child assassin, teenage space queen, bald hottie, gangsta rapper, and now vegan activist. If I was only a trust fund Israeli guy in a cool indie rock band in Los Angeles we’d already be married by now.
Sam Loves Jenny
While poking around on my hard drive today I found this comic that I drew in high school (probably 1996 or so). It’s the sequel to another one page comic I made called “Ed Loves Punk Rock” in which Sam tells Ed how to be a cool non-conformist punk rock teen. The hilarious thing about this comic is that I actually did try to smoke a cigarette once to impress a girl. It...
