Breakfast Burritos and Delivery Sushi

Saturday, September 29th, 2007

This morning, I swung by Temescal to test-drive La Calaca Loca’s breakfast burrito, available until 1:00 on the weekends. It’s not bad, exactly, but it’s very barebones—eggs and potatoes, and not much else. It is excellent when you order nachos and spread the excess queso fresco, sour cream, guacamole, etc. on top of the burrito [...]

Awesome. I knew I had to watch this show, because I’ll watch anything with a Sports Night alum—and with Peter Krause, even more so after seeing the amazing SciFi miniseries, The Lost Room.

I finally got around to sorting through and deleting pictures from the August set, and I’m now declaring it finished-ish. Some of them aren’t bad. There are 39, although a few won’t be publicly visible.

Quick overview of newish TV. Keep up with me now…

Torchwood, Doctor Who anagram/spinoff, featuring everyones favorite omnisexual dude who isn’t Freddy Mercury. Verdict: Good in pretty much the same way as Doctor Who, but with a different kind of manic energy.
Hotel Babylon—not nearly as stupid (or sex-filled) as it BBC America makes it sound in [...]
