2009 Grammy Awards
I watched the 2009 Grammy Awards this evening. I was sorely disappointed this year. I thought that there should have been more awards shown. I know they are pressed for time. I felt however that their was considerable flash without enough substance.
However, there are other winners and …
Sydney Taronga Park Zoo
I always enjoy a trip to Taronga Park zoo and have enjoyed seeing it grow and improve over the past few years.

What is not to love about the Fox Theatre? I have been to the Fox Theatre on numerous occasions to view plays, and I have always had an amazing experience. The performances are not only great, but the place is amazing as well, and I always feel …
Music 21 Plaza
It is a place where you’ll truly enjoy your day singing. A 3-hour session is not enough catching up a list of songs. Still, I’ve got the chance to stay there.
Upon entering the videoke lounge I already felt the night life. It was decorated with posters of musicians, …

Pursuit of Happyness
This wasn’t Will Smith’s best performance, certainly not compared to the dramatic fireworks of say, Fresh Prince of Belair. That’s unfair. The movie wasn’t terrible, in fact, it wasn’t even bad. The hype before the movie, the promotion, the talk shows, all led you to believe that this might …
Nekocon Hampton Roads VA
Nekocon is an anime convention that I get to ever single year in Hampton Roads, Virginia. While being able to buy lots of manga, anime, and meeting voice actors is nice I’m starting to feel that the whole convention is missing something. Nekocon is located at the …

All in the Family The Complete Third Season

Ster Kinekor Cinema Movie Theater
