Synopsis

Ok my idea for a media slide show is as fallows
i intend to go to a local bar namely Elements and get the bar tender to talk for a bit about how to make a good drink and how to not look like a total ass whilst ordering a drink.
So far the drink's I have planed out to ask her are the Mojito the daiquiri and the long island ice tea.

Pod Cast review

Dave and Joel’s Fast Karate for the Gentlemen
The reason I picked Fast karate to listen to is because it’s the only thing that came up when I put karate and video games into the ITunes search bar. The podcasts itself is about video games and general nerdery and their reaction to them. Cool stuff in general because well I’m really nerdy. My only real complaint about this podcast is that it’s really disposable media in its truest form no real information is parted on me just a few new jokes each week and some minor information about food and living in Phili. Yes I’ll keep listening to these guys for quite some time and if I had a IPod or mobile media device I’d put these guys on it.
Freakanomics:
I subscribed to these guys because they share a name with a book I really like that talks about similar things. The podcast is just about the oddities that occur in real life and science. What I hate about it is the fact that this is really really dry to listen to. I’ll listen to it on the laptop for a while but this one doesn’t fallow me on the Ipod.
Build a Better Photograph:
This one I listened to because frankly I want to learn how to take a better photograph. I was colossally disappointed when this podcast didn’t actually teach me jack about photography in the episode I listened to it talked more about how good photography use to be and why it’s going south with digital and how great all the old photographers are. This just screams “get off my lawn you dam kids” it’s just old people being old and grouchy. I did learn about how to be old and annoying though. I’m not listening to this again unless I have to write another review for it.

Reviewing all these restaurants was a great deal of fun, after all for once I got to eat some food that wasn’t just bad campus food. It was above average fast food in both cases of what I ate. The real fun however was the company I ate with in this case one Heather Perkins. She was my combo companion and driver a task I’m somewhat surprised that she took on. She must not remember the time she spent with me in freshman year all that well. It was nice to leave the campus and all the horrible people on it for a quick distraction of food as deep fried as it may have been. Our first stop was the New Century Chinese restaurant, that’s actually owned by the same guys who own Asia in Lyndon. As I walked in there I noticed something that I never see, a non-Chinese person working in a Chinese restaurant. I stood in shock and awe as the waitress was clearly of Anglo-Saxon. Clearly this is a restaurant that is progressive and forward thinking. The food in New Century Chinese restaurant was just what you’d expect pork fried rice and fried crab dumplings a delight for any college kid as imitation seafood isn’t something we get in the dining hall often. Not to tune my own horn and quote myself but in the end it was “worth my $4.80.”
