Week in Review (6/30 - 7/6)

Monday, July 7th, 2008

Another week is in the bags and can you believe it July is already here. It seems like Summer is just flying by and I haven’t had much of an opportunity to enjoy it yet. Don’t worry about GrandmasterB though, I’ll be heading to Vegas next month with the wife for a weekend of rest, relaxation, drinking and some fine dining. Usually when the wife and I travel somewhere we try to hit a nice restaurant and I think this trip we’ll hit Bobby Flay’s restaraunt Mesa Grill at Caesar’s Palace. I’m a big fan of Southwestern cuisine and have a few of Bobby Flay’s cookbooks, so I’m sure it will be the restaurant of choice. Put a fine dinner together with a weekend away in sunny Las Vegas…sounds like paradise to me. Well, enough day dreaming let’s get to the review.

Hancock Movie Review

Sunday, July 6th, 2008


I had the pleasure to go see Hancock on Thursday night, and I must say it wasn’t what I was expecting. For those of you with kids that are thinking about seeing the movie; I would recommend against taking the little ones. There are some foul words that you may find offensive and you wouldn’t want your kids repeating them at the bus stop. Hancock is a good movie though and turns the “super hero” genre on its head to deliver a different message. Sometimes not all super heroes really want to be “super”.

Kim Kardashian Knows What’s Big

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

There is big and then there is BIG! I have always heard rumor of the junk in Kim Kardashian’s trunk, but honestly I had no idea there was that much…THAT’S A BIG ASS TRUNK! How her hind quarters got so inflated is beyond me, because her younger sister (pictured) Kourtney has a rockin’ little body.

I’m not sure what it is about these chicks or what it is that makes them “celebrities”, but I know one thing…they love to pose for the cameras. This picture just goes to prove my statement. You can see it in her eyes that she wants the world to see her big booty. Apparently, she knows it’s big and isn’t afraid to show it off.

I thought I knew BIG, but my definition is totally off from the the big that Kim Kardashian knows. My monthly numbers which weren’t all that bad; weren’t great either. I did see a big jump in my Alexa ranking and my Technorati numbers jumped up a bit too. The killer for the month of June seems to be the loss of 1200+ backlinks that were being tracked by Yahoo!. I’m not sure what happened there, but it didn’t seem to have a negative effect on the traffic.
