oh modern world

One of our new clients is Ticketmaster, and I have to say dealing with their stuff makes me boggle. It's fine to be sober or to not like beer. It's assinine and absurd to complain about people drinking beers at a Willie Nelson/Bob Dylan concert. Sometimes live music doesn't sound exactly like the album, and since when was rock music held to the exact repetition standards of a high school concert band? The guy who just wrote a 500 word review complaining that bands should perform their music note for note exactly the same way every time needs to loosen up or he may constrict all the blood out of his veins. Dude.

Is Scott Weiland back with Stone Temple Pilots since Velvet Revolver kicked him out for his drug habit? Huh. Also, there's an amazing amount of mainline pop music that all sounds so bad and I can only blame American Idol. Lyrnyrd Skynyrd is opening for Kid Rock? And why is New Kids On The Block even touring?I feel like the world has gone a sugar and cocaine induced spasm.

from the department of fascinating restaurant reviews

What kind of view must it be I wonder?

We were amazed with the service and the mouth taking view from when we walked through to our table.

The best part is that it is a review of a restaurant in San ANtonio, which is not especially know for exceptional beauty.

Another excellent gem:

the strawberry short cake which was also delouses.

I don't think I want a dessert that doubles as a de-lousing treatment.

Today I cooked a big fillet of salmon in ginger, orange and mango juice with skinny asparagus spears. It was quite possibly one of the best off the top of my head things I've made in ages. The salmon was cooked perfectly too.
