It’s been about ten years since Party Down got cancelled and the new season is dropping less than a month from now and it’s hard to believe it’s actually almost here.

Everyone’s a mixologist now
me last week at a bar: ugh this cocktail tastes like shit me this week after binging that netflix cocktail show: ugh this cocktail is too spirit-forward, lacks acid, tastes unbalanced and is too heavy on the pandan
Project Runway “We’re sleeping where?”
Apologies for getting this out a week late on account of travel, but here we go. The episode opens with the hilarious surprise they get to sleep on the top of the Empire State Building, and while that’s probably fun for a boy scout troop, if you’ve ever been up there, you know it’s windy …
Project Runway: A Leap of Innovation
A surprisingly great runway this week. Some looks appeared to be a bit hasty and pinned together, but otherwise a good show. Runway Kenya continues to absolutely kill it. She does unbelievably good work in a single day challenge. Even through TV, you can tell things are impeccably constructed. Hope she’s in the running for the …
Project Runway “Unconventional Recycling”
The second episode of the season had a lot going on. An unconventional materials challenge. A team challenge. A 5-piece collection in one day. I suppose the show runners wanted chaos because it seems like a good recipe for it in this episode. Overall, the thing that set apart any designer was being able to …

Someone should build a site that calculates a number based on how many actors in a show or film previously appeared in The Wire. It could be calculated like so: (Actors …
Netflix on the iPad
One of my favorite apps for the iPad is Netflix's streaming service. I started out watching tons of documentaries. I really enjoyed two recent ones: Beer Wars and The Union. Beer Wars is an inside look at the world of microbreweries and how it's nearly impossible for them to sell at major stores thanks to …
The Art of Negotiation According to Pawnstars
The other day I caught a marathon of the show Pawnstars. On the surface, it's kind of a blue collar version of Antiques Roadshow and at first I thought it was a pale rip-off of the original. But after watching a dozen or so episodes and a couple Antiques Roadshows, I'm convinced I like this …

Superbowl
Yesterday's Super Bowl was great. A perfect come from behind win that ended the way everyone wanted it to, with the Saints on top. In the past, I've watched the game mostly to see the ads, but this year was pretty bad. Aside from the Letterman ad and the great Google ad, the rest were …
