Six years later and the boarder is still as tight as a sieve, the President still thinks invading Iraq was a good response to the attack, and most of us have moved on as if it never happened in the first place.I was working in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas in September of 2001, shooting photos for The Infantry and Cavalry School. At least I think that was the place. There is more to Leavenworth than prisons, but not much more. I had worked at the Military School for a couple of years, the Fort was a fun and easy place. No…
Olenjack’s Grille-Great Food In Arlington
“I use the freshest ingredients I can find that are indigenous to Texas and the area. Using local ingredients is the heart and soul of our food and we hope you enjoy eating it as much as we enjoy preparing it for you on a daily basis.” —Chef Brian Olenjack Olenjack’s Grille serves a Brunch Buffet on Sundays for about twenty dollars a head. It is well worth the price as it seems that most of the normal menu is spread out on several tables, plus classic breakfast fare. The French Toast was sweet and cinnamony and just chewy enough.…
Ron Paul, Vanessa Hudgens, and YouTube
I live in Texas and if it were not for Technorati, I would not know Ron Paul’s name, or that he is a Congressman from Texas. Maybe it’s just that two first names thing that strikes me as a little too cute, or the fact that he doesn’t seem to fit in with the rest of the Technorati Top Ten List. He’s another old white guy that wants to be President. His claim to fame seems to be that he wants to get out of Iraq and he’s a Republican-Gasp.Vanessa Anne Hudgens is the star of Disney’s High School Musical,…
Dollar Store Teeth Whiting Results
I did find a teeth whitener for a dollar the other day. It’s one those teeth whitening trays you put some goo into and slip in like a football mouth guard. Hey, a dollar for teeth whitening I can afford. It was a dollar for the two week supply to get a bright smile. My teeth are whiter, but maybe I do need a bit of cosmetic dentistry. Not too bad, but not too good either. Still a little bright teeth whitening wouldn’t hurt too much. When I win the lotto I’ll make some cosmetic dentist happy. That way I…
Vanessa Anne Hudgens Naked in Photo
In what can only be called an armature photograph, a naked Vanessa Anne Hudgens smiles coyly as she stands in a dirty hotel room. Vanessa Hudgens’ rep told TMZ.com “This was a photo which was taken privately. It is a personal matter and it is unfortunate that this has become public.” By the standards of Paris Hilton and Pamela Anderson, the naked Vanessa Anne Hudgens photo is tame. Vanessa Anne Hudgens is nude, but not actively involved in any lewd acts, nor is it a video. Though if there is a still, there is always the possibility of a video…
Terrell Owens and Whoopi Goldberg on Dog Fighting
Terrell Owens, a man who just can’t keep his mouth shut for too long, chimed in on the whole dog fighting thing. Terrel Owens on dogfighting:“Being from the South, that’s something that’s very prevalent in that area,” he said. “So when I say it’s a cultural situation, I’m not trying to bring a racial barrier into it. If anyone wants to dig that up, I will dispel that.” “I don’t condone Michael Vick’s actions with the dog fighting,” Owens said. “I’ve been exposed to it and it’s something that’s very unfortunate for Mike. I think he’ll learn from this situation…
Showtime’s Meadowlands
Showtime’s Meadowlands was a bit of surprise for a number of reasons, the first being that it is a British show. This means there are a few bits of lingo that are kind of hard to understand. At one point a character says that she binned something-which means she tossed it, and it sounds like she bent it, which does not make a lot of sense. The name of the British show is Cape Wrath and was shown on Channel 4. I am guessing they changed the name because everyone in America would just assume it was set on an…
Micheal Vick may need Oprah, does Oprah need Vick?
Drew Sharp had this cute idea that all Micheal Vick needs to get straightened out is to spend a little quality time on Oprah’s couch. If Oprah could just get him to jump around a few times like Tom Cruise then his legacy would be assured. The only problem with this idea is that Oprah Winfrey is long past her ambulance chasing days. Oprah does not need to be associated in any way with Michael Vick and Dog Fighting.It is good advice to get Oprah to help Vick, just as it would be good advice to tell a new author;…
New Bohemians Keyboard Man Shot Dead
Thirty-four year old Jeffrey Albrecht, keyboard man for the Dallas rock band Edie Brickell & New Bohemians was shot dead while trying to kick in the door of his girlfriend’s neighbor. It is not clear why he was trying to kick the door down or why killing him seemed the thing to do to stop him. Of course, in Texas, is not uncommon to hear about psycho drunks being shot while trying to get into the wrong house.The New Bohemians were a small indie rock band in Dallas in 1980s. They were your standard One Hit Wonders with the 1989…
Heineken The Rise of the BeerBot Babe
The latest bit of weirdness in beer commercials comes form the Heineken marketing machine and features a blue woman with a DraftKeg of Heineken in her stomach. The robot doesn’t talk, of course, she just smiles as she extends an arm to grab a Heineken glass to fill with beer from the keg she hold effortlessly before her. She exists in a Heineken Green world with only a few lights to give it any dimension at all. I like the song and the way the you can hear the gears moving inside the robot. Sounds like she could us a…
