Broward County Courthouse, Who Do You Think You Are?

I took a trip up to Broward County this morning to visit their lovely mental institution Courthouse for a hearing. Every time I go up there I realize how crappy that Courthouse is.

First of all, what is up with the parking? There are only a handful of private lots charging $10-$20 flat rates for the day (most get suckered into the $20 because of its location). You could stay 10 minutes or 8 hours - you pay that amount. If you show up at 4am you may be lucky enough to get a meter on the street - but I bet the police will find something wrong with it and give you a ticket anyway. Why? Because it is Broward County.

Why is it so expensive to park? Do you think your land is worth more than Miami? If you haven't been down to Miami in the past 20 years you may not know that Miami has municipal parking lots where you can park all day for $8. And if you are stupid enough to go to a private lot maybe you will pay those Broward Rates, but at least they give you an hourly rate option and not require a full day flat rate.

Now I know suddenly Broward has a high opinion of itself thanks to a certain Anna Nicole Smith media circus in their courthouse over the past few weeks, but really this has to stop.

On top of that - the elevators in the courthouse never work and they are slower than the drawbridges over the Miami River.

And this courthouse can't decide whether you should bring your own Orders to hearings or give you blank ones. If you don't bring in an order they send you down to an administrative office to get some. When you show up there you get lectured for not bringing an Order. What is the big deal? In Miami the blank orders are in such excess that they are used as toilet paper in the Judge's bathrooms. So why is Broward so cheap? That is just another mystery.

I just want to know why the Judge's chambers do not have fax machines. I show up for the hearing and the Judge for some reason doesn't have some document that I already sent him by mail. I ask if I can have my office fax it over to him. No can do because they don't have a fax. What? Seriously? Is there some hidden fax but you just refuse to share? Bullshit.

On top of that - what is with all the smug faces that work around there? Every person automatically gives you a blank stare and refuses to assist you with anything. Even after you do all the "please", "thank you", "I appreciate it" ass kissing, you still get nothing. You all need to just chill out!

Saturday Night Live - Rainn Wilson and Arcade Fire

Did anyone check out SNL this past weekend? None other than Rainn Wilson was the host (Dwight from The Office and Arthur from Six Feet Under) and the ARCADE FIRE (!!!) were the musical guest. The skits had some weird twists at the end (sick, twisted, vulgar, trying to be shocking) but overall I was entertained. And the Arcade Fire were....simply...amazing! I think I may have to travel somewhere just to see them.....(come on Lollapalooza 2007!!!)

Check out some of the SNL performances (and others) of the Arcade Fire at Brooklyn Vegan.

I heard that they performed three extra songs after the show was over and it broke out into a dance party with all of the cast members. Wish I could have seen that! If anyone finds video of it on the internet please let me know!!!!

What's Going On?

Hello Readers,

Just wanted to send out an apology for not keeping up with blogging over the past few days. I was first getting over a hangover called Las Vegas and then got called for Jury Duty which turned out to be a big media trial (not Anna Nicole Smith) that kept me in court for two days (and I didn't get picked for the Jury...the rest of them might be there for 3 weeks!).

Well that is all behind me now and I have a huge pile of work just waiting for me to procrastinate over.

Hopefully this week I can get through some more Heroes and Office Recaps I didn't get a chance to do last week.

And while I am at it....any feedback you would like to give would be appreciated. Anything you would like to see more of? Anything we should stop doing? Anything new that we should start blogging about? Please let me know.

Thanks for continuing to check in!

Lost - Season 3, episode 9 - Stranger in a Strange Land

I have to admit, I liked this episode as much as I liked the Robert Heinlein novel of the same name, which is to say, Not At All. People at work today disagreed with me. They were happy to see Jack in focus, to see more hints about The Others, etc, etc. And yes, the episode was more "typical Lost," but I think this was a step backward in the development of the series.

The episode starts with Jack back in his glass cage in the Hydra Island. Tom (Mr. Friendly) comes in and tells him he's moving. Jack is in a pissy mood, he accuses Tom and his people of being savages, of "kidnapping and torturing people." Mr. Friendly talks about glass cages and throwing stones, accusing Jack's "people" of similiar acts. Which is completely "WHAT?" Sure, the main cast has done some bad things against the others, but nothing unprovoked. (Except maybe when Sun killed that lady on the boat in the beginning of the season. That was a little uncalled for.)

Mr. Friendly and his guards escort Jack out of his cell and through the halls of the Hyrda. On the way, he passed Juliet under equal guard. Jack looks shocked. He stares at the cuffs on Juliet's hands while she is led into his room.

On the water, Kate, Sawyer, and Karl are sailing back to the main island. Kate thinks they should go back immediatly for Jack. Swayer says she's crazy and they should respect Jack's wishes. Karl says something about Jacob, spouting some of that brainwashing mumbo-jumbo maybe?


After a break, we start on a beautiful beach. An unshaven Jack emerges from a hut on stilts. Are we still on the Hyrda? we wonder for a moment, before the shot opens up and we see Jack on a busy beach. He is in Phucket, Thailand. After buying a soda from a small boy, he sets out trying to assemble a brightly colored kite. He's not having much luck. He hears a childish giggling and looks up to see an attractive girl staring at him. She comes over to help and suceeds where Jack failed. They assemble the kite and fly it on the beach while making cute sidelong glances and teenage touches.


Later, Jack and the girl, Achara, are eating lunch at her brother's restaurant. Jack tries some strange scaly food and Achara's brother rejoices. "Very brave!" he exclaims. Achara asks him how he never learned to fly a kite. Jack starts to mumble something about his father and then Achara interrupts her, saying, "I'm not interested in your father." (And the collective audience thinks, "Thank God!") A moment later, a nondescript man approaches her and hands her a distinctive white envelope that might as well have had a dollar sign on it. Jack gives her a questioning glance. Achara says, "I have a gift," but doesn't elaborate.

Back on the Hyrda, Jack is in Sawyer's old Bear cell. Surprisingly, Juliet comes to visit him. She's just been to see Ben and he's not doing well. She took a Polariod of his post-op stitches and Jack confirms that they're infected. Juliet asks him to help Ben. Jack, shocked, refuses. He gives her the whole, "I would never help him!" speech, even though he just did. Juliet is disappointed but gives up pretty easily.

Later, a new Other approaches Jack's cage and introduces herself. Her name is Isabel and she's apparently "The Sheriff in Town" (according to Mr. Friendly). She asks Jack back inside to meet with her and Juliet to answer some questions about all the crazy stuff that happened two episodes ago. Jack evades her questions and lies to protect Juliet.

The next morning, a disshelved Jack wakes up to find a group of people outside his cage. He’s not very amiable before his morning cup apparently (like me) so he gives them dirty looks. A familiar face approaches the cage. It’s the stewardess from 815, the Oceanic flight. He asks her what “they” have done to her. She seems perfectly happy to be with the Others. And then a little girl asks about Ana-Lucia, to which Jack does not respond well. He lashes out at the girl and the group and tells them to go away.

Back on the main island, Sawyer, Kate, and Karl have set up camp. Karl tells some stories about his girlfriend, Alex, and stargazing while sprouting Other propaganda. (I don’t really know where the writers are going with this character. He seems rather pointless. Alex is way more interesting. Ten bucks says he doesn’t survive the season.)

Back in Thailand, a drunk Jack – looking very much like his father – is following Achara around the Phucket streets. He follows her to a red room, lined with candles, and decorated with Chinese symbols. Jacks asks her “What is this place?” and Achara says she’s a tattoo artist. Jack is as disappointed as we are to find out this is her big secret. But she says she’s not “just a tattoo artist.” She sees people and marks them accordingly. Jack is intrigued and demands she mark him. He almost attacks her (which is WAY out of character) and finally Achara agrees, but not before saying that this is against her people and there will be consequences.

Meanwhile, on the Hydra, Alex has come to see Jack to get some answers. Jack instead asks her questions about Juliet. Alex reveals that she’s going to be punished, maybe executed, for murdering one of their own kind. Jack immediately says, “Take me to your father.”

Jack rushes into the Operating Room, with a supine Ben looking as helpless and unfrightening as when he was Henry Gale (wayyy back in Season 2. I still don’t believe this guy’s suppose to be the big villain.) He says Ben is in serious danger, but he will help him if Ben stops Juliet’s execution. Ben, being ultimately selfish, agrees and Alex and Jack rush to another part of the Hyrda to stop the execution. They encounter Isabel and she reads a note from Ben saying that Juliet should not be executed, but she should still be marked for her crime.

On the main island, Kate and Sawyer wake up to find Karl missing. He’s off in the bushes, crying away his sorrow over losing Alex. Sawyer confronts him, calls him a funny nickname (which Karl doesn’t get), and Sawyer finally tells him he should go back for Alex.

In flashback, Jack wakes up his hut with a kite and goes through a similar scene like early in the episode. Except this time, the boy who sold him a cola runs away and Jack is confronted by Achara’s brother and some random thugs. They see Jack’s tattoo and beat him up. Why? I have no idea. The show doesn’t bother to explain.

In the Hydra, a freed Juliet brings Jack a grilled sandwich. Jack asks to see the mark and then breaks some aloe to alleviate the swelling and the pain. It’s a sweet moment. It’s unfortunate the whole relationship between the two of them feels so forced down our throats, it’s hard to believe.

Juliet informs Jack that the whole pack of Others is leaving the Hydra and returning to the main island. Jack joins the group (no guards this time?) as they help Ben onto the water. In the distance is a large boat.

Overall, a very weak episode that seemed to tread on the same ground that the first six episodes of the season did. I’m glad they’re leaving the Hydra. I also question any reasoning behind Jack’s flashbacks. Usually, the flashback segments shed much needed light on character’s motivations. This episode just seemed to show that Jack gets around with the ladies. Which we already knew. Although, to be fair, after last week’s Desmond awesomeness, any episode would be very hard to reach the same level.


Next week, Hurley returns to the front of the class! I couldn’t be happier.

The Jet Blue Delay

News broke last week that passengers on Jet Blue flights were subjected to 10 hour delays inside the plane, while on the runway. Passengers were forced to wait for many hours due to bad weather and an unavailability of open gates. Some have taken to the internet to air their frustrations.

Jet Blue is now doing some major work to make up for its mistakes. First, it has issued a sincere apology via email to all customers who have ever taken Jet Blue. No excuses were given (however they did give reasons why certain things did occur). When it came down to it, they took the blame and issued a straight out apology for screwing up.

"Words cannot express how truly sorry we are for the anxiety, frustration and inconvenience that we caused. This is especially saddening because JetBlue was founded on the promise of bringing humanity back to air travel and making the experience of flying happier and easier for everyone who chooses to fly with us. We know we failed to deliver on this promise last week."

Next - Jet Blue issued the "Customer Bill of Rights" which promises to give reimbursements for delays in arrival and departures. Additionally, when an overbooking occurs and a passenger is "bumped" from the plane, they will get $1000.00. JetBlue also promises to keep the passenger informed and refund trips that are cancelled at less than a 12 hour notice.

So, is this enough? What else can they do?

Personally, I have taken Jet Blue many times and was fully satisfied with each trip. I love the TV's, the crew was always nice, the seats comfortable and the website is easy to use. It is kinda sad that such a good airline is getting a hard hit for this screw up. True, it is a really BIG screw up, but still I think they deserve a second chance.

And listen up other airlines. You should start following suit and keep your passengers informed and reimburse for excessive delays. I have been delayed for many hours on many occasions by other airlines and not once did I get a non-excuse apology or offer of credit or refund. It was always some "it's out of our hands" excuse and please take your seat and wait response. The airline industry needs some major changes - especially considering how much we spend to sit on those planes.

NBA All Star Weekend

Over the weekend in Las Vegas there was the NBA All Star game. Apparently it wasn't the type of success they were looking for. I believe they used the word "freaknik" to describe it.

I May Not Be A Winner At Slots, But I'm A Winner At Life!

The weekend of February 16-19 2007 was my first time ever going to Las Vegas. I had so much fun and lost tons of money - but hey, that's what gambling is all about, right?

I stayed at the Westin Casuarina which was about a block off the Las Vegas strip where Caesars, Bellagio, and Bally's are on the corner. I would recommend this hotel because the beds were sooo comfortable (not that you go to Vegas to sleep, but hey it happens sometimes). It was not far from everything and a good price. It has a small casino, but I would suggest you place your bets elsewhere.

We started the trip by walking from our hotel to Paris, Bellagio, Caesars. We go sooo lost at Caesars and ended up getting out through an emergency back entrance that we ended up having to walk the entire perimeter of the hotel just to get back to the strip. Oy vey. We drove everywhere after that. The girls I met up with, Diana and Kerin, drove from LA to Vegas so it was easy to get around.

(If you click on any picture you can see a bigger version of it)



Paris



Bellagio (they had a special garden for the Chinese New Year and a glass ceiling made by the artists Chihuly). I have a video of the Bellagio fountain with the song "Viva Las Vegas" sung by Elvis in the background. But I can't seem to upload the video to YouTube because it is too big. I will work on that and hopefully post it here later.



Gambling at Caesars



After a long walk, we headed back to the hotel to rest up. Before we went out we popped some bubbly (Andre!). We then headed to the buffet at the Rio, did a little gambling and then went to Voodoo Lounge which is a rooftop (50th floor) club at the top of the Rio to celebrate Diana's birthday!



This buffet was a little too big so I couldn't really enjoy everything it had to offer.



Look at all those slots.



I am still dreaming about this...



They made this great drink that looked like it was steaming thanks to some dry ice. This thing was so huge we couldn't even walk around with it (although some people were strong enough to do it - still amazes me).

The view was amazing from the rooftop club. You can see the entire strip and party your ass off!



After a long night out (and waiting for an hour and a half at 4 am in line for a taxi after the club) we decided the next day we would take it easy. We spent a few hours at our hotel's hot tub and later drove to the Wynn hotel, then walked to the Venetian and the Mirage. We had dinner at the buffet at the Mirage.



(That last picture with the gondola is actually inside the hotel - they painted clouds on the ceiling)



I would totally recommend the buffet at the Mirage. The food was great and they had tons of variety. And they even sliced open the crab legs for you!



After dinner we gambled at the Mirage where we discovered Wheel of Fortune (my new favorite slot). After that we headed back to the hotel where I could not break my need to play more slots. And then lost too much money...

Later that night we headed to Mandalay Bay to play more slots (!!!) and then go to the club Forty Deuce. Kerin's job hooked us up with VIP passes so we got in for free. Every 90 minutes they have a burlesque show that is backed up with a live band. The show was good but the club was way too small. We stuck around for about an hour and then headed out to play more slots.

On our final day we checked out of the hotel and headed to NY NY. We played slots (no big shock there), had lunch, and walked over to the MGM Grand to see the tigers.



Then Kerin and Diana dropped me off at the airport where the lines were INSANE. I luckily didn't have to check a bag so I didn't wait in line at all. But the line for checking in with a bag was out the door, out onto the street outside of the terminal. I heard someone say there were in line for more than 5 hours! They could be exaggerating but I could totally believe it considering the mob scene that I saw out there.

So after spending a weekend there I would totally recommend eating at the buffet at the Mirage. Also, make sure you wear comfortable shoes. All hotels have free parking, so if you have a car you can easily get around and leave your car at each hotel. Learn the streets that run parallel to Las Vegas Blvd. and you will cut your travel time drastically.

Urgh Netscape!!

Anyone remember when Shawn and I discovered how much better the new Netscape is over Internet Explorer? We were thrilled. It was as if we were freed of a demon forced down our their throats. We could swallow, we could breathe.

Now, many months later, Netscape has become that demon. I could not count how many times Netscape crashed on me this past weekend. Every single click resulted in agonizingly still moments where nothing would happen. Finally, I succumbed to the terrible ctrl-alt-delete and the eighteen clicks required to "End Task." It was enough to make someone want to switch Vista! (if I knew what the benefit would be.. anyway.)

Finally, I woke up, "saw the light" (so to speak), and switched (forever, dammit!) to Firefox. What a difference! It has all the things I liked in Netscape - tabs, customization - but without any headaches or any delays. It's quicker, cleaner, and even the web pages look better. The new Blogger seems to like it a lot, too. I don't know how they do it, but the Mozilla people are my new favorite people in the world.

Thank you, Firefox!

The Office - Season 3, Episode 17 - Business School

An interesting fact to start off this recap - this episode was directed by Joss Whedon, the creator of Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

Ryan invites Michael to speak in front of his business school class because he finds out that if you bring in your boss you get bumped up a full letter grade. Michael now thinks of himself as a professor and really takes this opportunity seriously. He is trying to really move the students through this speech he is going to give. Ryan should have known better.

Michael: What’s the most inspiring thing I ever said to you?
Dwight: “Don’t be an idiot.” Changed my life.

Dwight: Whenever I’m about to do something, I think, “Would an idiot do that?” And if they would, I do not do that thing.

Pam and Roy are officially back together (ugh). Pam invites Roy and the entire office to see her drawings at an art show with other students. Roy is really excited to see art.

Pam: I’m really happy to be back with Roy. I think it shows maturity. Maturity and dignity. Is that braggy? I don’t mean it to be braggy.

And what is Jim's reaction?

Jim: Pam’s with Roy. I’m with Karen. And Brangelina is with Frangelina. Moving on.

Kelly of course has to put her two cents in:

Kelly: I can’t believe you’re back together with Roy!
Pam: Oh yeah! We have such a solid foundation, you know.
Kelly: Oh my god. You’re so in love now.

Dwight sees "animal stool" in front of Pam's desk. He is intrigued and must find the source.

Pam: Dwight, what are you doing?
Dwight: Solving a mystery, if that’s quite all right with you.

Dwight first thinks there is a bird but quickly discovers a bat.

Angela: Poop is raining from the ceilings. Poop!

The bat escapes from its hiding place in the ceiling and flies around the office causing a frenzy. The bat gets trapped in the conference room by Dwight until they can figure out what to do. Jim calls animal control who will only be there at 6pm.

Jim finds an opportunity to play a little prank on Dwight. He acts like he was bit by the bat and is turning into a vampire.

Jim: I feel so … tingly. So strangely powerful.

Back at Business School, Michael and Ryan arrive on campus and Michael wants to play frisbee and act like a college student.

Michael: Campus. Brings back so many memories. That I would have made.

Ryan introduces Michael while Michael watches on from another room where he can't hear what Ryan is saying. We get brief clips of Ryan talking about how Dunder Mifflin is refusing to keep up with the industry and adapt to the changing world where paper will become useless. Michael thinks Ryan is talking him up.

Michael starts off his speech (with his trusty little note cards) . He picks up a student's textbook and proceeds to rip out the pages.

Michael: You cannot learn from books. Replace these pages with life lessons. And then you will have a book that is worth its weight in gold. I know these are expensive. But the lesson is priceless.

Michael then tries out his "names of chocolates to represent what's needed in business" speech.

Michael: You need something to sell. Now this could be anything. It could be a thingamajig. Or a whosi-whatsi. Or … a “Whatchamacallit.” Now, you need to sell those in order to have a “PayDay.” And, if you sell enough of them, you will make a “100 Grand.” Satisfied?

Jim continues to freak out Dwight in his transformation into a vampire.

Dwight: If a vampire bat was in the U.S., it would make sense for it to come to a “-sylvania.” Like Penn-sylvania. Now that doesn’t mean that Jim is going to become a vampire. Only that he carries the vampiric germ.

Karen apparently is in on the joke and is a really really bad faker. She does a bad fake acting job to play off Jim's joke. (Pam was so much better at it!) First Jim touches garlic toast and he is like "it's so cold" and Karen is like no Jim this toast is really hot.

Karen: Hey Jim, here’s the aspirin you wanted.
Jim: Oh thank god. I have such a headache from the glare.
Karen: What glare?
Jim: The glare off Angela’s crucifix? — it’s blinding.

Then Kelly comes out of the Kitchen and sees Dwight and Creed (who earlier made an alliance) trying to hurt the bat.

Kelly: You better not hurt that little bat.
Creed: Animals can’t feel pain.
Kelly: Don’t hurt that bat, Creed! It’s a living thing with feelings and a family!

The bat then comes flying straight at Kelly and then heads into the kitchen.

Kelly: Kill it kill it kill it!

Back at business school, Ryan informs Michael that they usually do a question and answer session with the students. Michael is open to it but then all these questions come at him which he can't answer. A bunch of students want to know how a small paper business is going to survive when there are huge companies like Staples and when paper is becoming obsolete.

Michael: We can’t overestimate the value of computers. Yes, they are great for playing games and forwarding funny emails. But real business is done on paper, okay?

Michael talks about the continued need for paper and meanwhile every single student is typing their notes on a computer. The students also ask questions about economic theories (Herfindahl index) that Michael knows absolutely nothing about.

One of the students notes that Ryan said earlier that the paper business was failing. Michael was very offended and lashed back at Ryan.

Michael: Ryan has never made a sale. And he started a fire trying to make a cheesy pita. And everybody thinks he’s a tease. Well you know what? He doesn’t know anything, and neither do you. So suck on that!

Michael then storms out of the classroom.

At Pam's art show, she is standing around her drawings without any attention being thrown her way. Suddenly Roy and his brother show up and Roy (being a jerk) rubs it in that he is the only one that showed up and nobody from the office did.

Roy: How ’bout this, huh? I show up with my brother, and no one from work is here. That’s pretty cool, huh?

Pam later overhears Oscar and his boyfriend Gil talking about Pam's drawings.

Gil: Real art takes courage, okay? And honesty.
Oscar: Well, those aren’t Pam’s strong points.
Gil: Yeah, exactly. That’s why this is motel art.

Pam felt pretty low after hearing that. Roy then leaves early and tells Pam she should come by his house later. I already see Pam having second thoughts about Roy.

Roy: Your art was the prettiest art of all the art.

It's time for the people in the office to head home and Dwight sticks around to take care of the bat.

Jim: I’m going to go home and lie down. Draw the shades. There’s just so much sun in here. Bye, Dwight.
Dwight: Goodbye, Jim. And good luck.

Dwight: Jim is on a path now. An eternal journey. And I wish him well. But I have a destiny in this realm. Specifically, in the kitchen.

Meredith has been trapped in the bathroom, which is connected to the kitchen, all day. Dwight runs into the kitchen to get the bat and Meredith runs out. Dwight traps Meredith under a garbage bag with the bat in the bag too.

Dwight: You’re welcome.

At least he got the bat.

On the way back from business school Michael tells Ryan how upset he is.

Ryan: It wasn’t personal.
Michael: Business is always personal. It’s the most personal thing in the world.

Ryan thinks he is going to be fired.

Michael: Fire you? No no no. You are moving to the annex.
Ryan: To the annex? Where Kelly is?

Michael: A good manager doesn’t fire people. He hires people and inspires people. People, Ryan. And people will never go out of business.

You know Kelly is going to LOVE this.

Kelly: Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god …
Ryan: It’s only temporary, okay? Don’t get excited.
Kelly: I won’t, I won’t, I won’t, I won’t, I won’t, I won’t, I won’t, I won’t, I won’t, I won’t, I won’t, I won’t …

Michael then heads over to Pam's show and gives Pam much needed support.

Michael: Pam-casso. Sorry I’m late.

He is amazed by Pam's work.

Michael: I am really proud of you.
Pam: Thank you.
Michael: What?
Pam: Do you have something in your pocket?
Michael: A Chunky. Do you want half?

Pam gives Michael a big hug with tears in her eyes. Michael may be not so smart when it comes to business but he has a heart of gold (when he isn't thinking about himself).

Michael buys Pam's drawing of the Dunder Mifflin building and hangs it in the office.

Michael: It is a message. It is an inspiration. It is a source of beauty. And without paper, it could not have happened. Unless you had a camera.
