Reviews of movies, books and stuff — some rants, some raves

Karma by Delerium and Amazon.com

Okay… now it’s not often that I find myself sitting in a restaurant and a bar and thinking about what what music they’re playing! So far it’s only happened twice. And the most recent time was for the album called Karma by Delerium. Needless to say I am impressed. Good mix of intrumental, vocal and experimental music. Now this is stuff I could get into while doing whatever else…

The other kudos for the day goes to Amazon.com for having the coolest site for helping me find stuff I like. Their recommendation engine is getting progressively better. Plus their review system and ability to rate stuff is superior to all. There have often been times when I want to get something I’ll now go directly to Amazon to find it since thus far, I’ve always had a good experience in buying stuff anf finding stuff there. Even in the cases when their shipping agent did screw up and not deliver the packages in time to New Delhi when I shipped international, their customer service folks pulled through and took care of stuff correctly. So kudos to Amazon.com.

Mad Mex and Kiwi Margaritas

I promised to come back and finish the last rave about Cats and Dogs…but never quite got around to it. Sorry about that!

Anyhow, for today, I thought I would mention that Mad Mex, one of the coolest restaurants by the big Burrito Restaurant Group has the meanest and the best Kiwi Margaritas. Very highly recommended. Nothing beats them! 🙂 Esp. if you go for the big-ass-marg :))

So a big thumbs up to Mad Mex for their food and drinks. Considering they still have me going there despite the really really loud music (after 9:00 PM) and the fact that it’s all smoking, just proves that their food and drinks must be really really good. (In the interest of full disclosdure, I do know the owner of Mad Mex, but that has absolutely nothing to do with whether I give them a thumbs up, thumbs down or thumbs flat!)

Cats and Dogs

Yes! I knew it would always be the dogs that would save the world! Greetings oh gentle k9 and feline friendly folk. This evening I had the pleasure of watching our furry companions Cats & Dogs fight it out till the bitter end… all for the sake of humanity (hmm… I’ve heard that before a lot recently!). Well, Agent Lou was really quite cute as were all of the antics of his comrades.

I’ll update this review in the morning with some more stuff. Right now, no person in their right mind would be up writing this at this hour of the morning, esp after the number of hours I’ve logged in front of the idiot box in the past two days.

Anyhow, I’ll end by giving it a thumbs up!

Innaugural post

Well, this is the first review that is going on to this blog. In fact, this also just happens to be the first entry to this blog so lets hope that I did everything right and didn’t screw it all up! 🙂
