Architecture: Inside The World’s First Billion-Dollar Home. Actually $2bn. I sort of like the exterior - well, I like that it’s not some Romanesque monstrosity one logarithm too large - but the interior looks like a midrange hotel, and that’s because it was built by “Perkins + Will and Hirsch Bedner Associates, the designers behind […]

TV review: Lucky Louie
June 20, 2006 – 7:16 pm
I’ve seen the first two episodes of Lucky Louie, which is HBO’s new four-camera sitcom. The four-camera sitcom, with live studio audience, is the traditional standard: like Seinfeld, or Raising Dad. The other kind is the one-camera, which tends to be more dynamic, less like a play - Malcom In The Middle is the best […]
TNT’s The Closer
April 29, 2006 – 9:06 am
I’m watching Emmy screeners of The Closer - I’m through the first disc, which was the pilot and two more episodes. Right inside the fancy slipcase is a quote from the New York Post: “Make no mistake, what is very good about The Closer is the charismatic [Kyra] Sedgwick.” And I imagine the rest of […]
Why I love Everwood, 2
April 4, 2006 – 10:14 pm
So if you turn on Everwood (which I don’t even watch when it’s on (9pm Thursdays on The WB) because it competes with 24) - if you just turn it on and watch a few beats, you will get the impression that it’s kind of heavy-handed - some of the characters have their own musical […]

I’ve developed a small crush on Diana Eng even though she uses frames on her blog. I saw her work in I.D. magazine several months ago; she went to RISD and is very much a self-proclaimed nerd. The piece of clothing (or garment, as they say on the show) that propelled her from audition to […]
Late breaking news: I think this is so funny
November 30, 2005 – 10:42 pm
There was a “composite sketch” of the South Park kids on tonight’s episode, and it was so good that I had to grab it:
Ha ha, ha! I wonder who the artist is.

I’m working on a long review of Dragon Quest VIII. I’m 20 hours into the thing and most certainly not done. I still haven’t played the Final Fantasy XII demo that came with.

I’ve seen three episodes of The Boondocks and Rex is right, it’s better than you’ve heard. The debate (on the black left?) […]
