I have a confession to make: I say I don’t like reality TV (except the Amazing Race), but I’m addicted to On the Lot. Yep. It’s a Steven Spielberg and Mark Burnett show. And damn, I like it! Episodes 1 and 2 were audition episodes, and were shown back to back, so here’s a quick [...]

I’ve been having lots of lunches and dinners lately. I mean, lunch is really over-rated (since if you wake up at 7 and have breakfast by 8, you won’t feel hungry till about 6 p.m.).
