Here are the things that have been keeping me glued to my monitor and laughing heartily this week:
Patience's Telling Show
If you're familiar with the Grates, you know the lead singer is awesomely spastic and puts on a good show. Now imagine her describing the Rush Hour 3 in fine detail and you'll have the best podcast I've heard EVER.
Los Campesinos!
I'm probably behind on the times in my music news, but I've been trying to play catch up this week. One of the band's I came across is Los Campesinos! Consider them a twee version of Broken Social Scene with fanciful lyrics. Nice and poppy especially in the morning.
Regular Everyday Normal Guy
I do make a decent spaghetti sauce so I can relate.
Jim Davis Tribute
Fatal Farm comes with the quickness yet again. A mocking tribute to the greatness that is Garfield, Lasagna Cat re-enacts classic strips which are then followed by a musical tribute. Songs range from "A whole new world" to the Jurassic Park theme. This is a video series after my own heart. If you thought the MASH theme song was creepy on its own check this out.
Hackintosh
Ah, if I had the time I would try to mod my computer to install Leopard...
Coding Horror
Jeff Atwood has some of the best articles on computer science. This one about fonts is especially great because typography is cool.

Fee Fi Pho Yum*
Since tickets for the Dali exhibit at LACMA were all sold out this weekend, M and I couldn't decide what to do. Watch a movie? Go bowling? Definitely wasn't in the mood for shopping, but we knew we wanted something tasty to eat to compensate for waking up early and going to LACMA only to go find a big honking xeroxed sign on a small podium saying "DALI SOLD OUT."
M suggested Mimi's Cafe as the place to go, but that's always our default pit stop if we can't think of a place we haven't tried. I was down to try some pizza joint in Eagle Rock, but our tummies were growling as we made our way through Atwater Village. Since I usually drive by the area on my way from work, I knew we had to try this vietnamese restaurant- Indochine Cafe. The service at the restaurant was fast and friendly. We didn't need to ask for silverware or for water, the waiter promptly sat us down (maybe cuz we were the first customers of the day and were really hungry?). Anyway, I ordered the cold noodles with chicken and the portions are huge! I couldn't even finish my bowl but I savored every bite until I told myself, "No more! (cuz I wanted to check out Toni's Rolling Pin Bakery next door..hehee)
Anyway, this place is good to grab a quick bite and there's plenty of street parking around the neighborhood. The prices are reasonable and I give it three egg rolls for awesome service (the place has cool decor, too).
*ok, I didn't order Pho, but I wanted a cheesy title. :P
