Bynum down, but not out

After MRI tests and an examination by team doctor Steve Lombardo of the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Group earlier today, it has been determined that Lakers center Andrew Bynum suffered a subluxation of the patella and a bone bruise of his left knee in last night’s game. Bynum is expected to be out a minimum of eight weeks. Bynum is expected to make a full recovery.

This is obviously a huge blow to my squad, but it just means that my main man, Ronnie Turiaf, is gonna have to step up and help lead this team because we sure as hell can't rely on Kwame. Ronnie is probably my favorite Laker, so its gonna be fun watching him get more PT.
Get well soon, Drew...

Carl Karcher 1917-2008

A running joke around my house, is how I would prefer a Western Bacon Cheeseburger over a home-cooked meal. In many cases, that is true. I'm not a big fan of fast food, but Carls Jr. is the exception. The founder of Carl's Jr. just passed away at age 90, and I would like to honor him. This story is a little personal in that my Dad actually knew Mr. Karcher. He used to frequent my Dad's store and order suits from him when he had his shop in Anaheim. He was a very down-to-earth man, who despite his personal success, always seemed to make time for his customers. He can be credited with the creation of what I believe to be the best tasting charbroiled hamburgers in the game.
In my opinion, the Carl's Jr. menu puts the competition to shame.

We have a Wii

Thanks to Nana, Ethan got a really great gift for Christmas. Ethan was asked which gaming console he wanted, PS3, Xbox 360 or the Nintendo Wii and to my surprise, Ethan chose a Wii.
I wasn't sure how I felt about that choice. I knew I would be putting in some serious work with whatever console he got. Let's just say he made the right choice because the Wii rocks!
Somehow the most sought-after gift this year ended up under our tree, and you should have seen Ethan's reaction when he opened it....priceless (I'll post it on this site as soon as I get some time).
I have to remember to stretch before playing because I'm already suffering from "tennis elbow" ;-)

KITT Returns... Don't Hassle the Hoff!

Last week, NBC unveiled an all-new, controversial KITT, which is set to star in the made-for-TV Knight Rider movie in February. Based on the still-to-be-released Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR

Popular Mechanics has a funny specs comparison between the OG KITT and the new KITT. I wonder if the new ride comes equipped with an in-dash breathalyzer?

Anaheim GardenWalk Opens May 08'

Being a life long resident of Anaheim, It's exciting to see some really nice development nearby. Typically, for high-end shopping and eating, you have to make the 25 minute drive (traffic permitting) to the Irvine Spectrum. Well, no longer! We have our own version of the high-end outdoor mall, coming soon and I'm especially excited about the Roy's Hawaiian Fusion Steakhouse. Fine dining has made a huge insurgence into Anaheim with the recent openings of Ruth's Chris and Morton's Steakhouses. Here are some renderings of the coming attraction.


Other venues that will debut here are: Bar Louie, Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. The Cheesecake Factory, Heat Ultra Lounge, P.F. Changs, and many more really cool places...you can watch a 3D presentation video showing the layout

Hometown Hero

Like many people, I'm a fan of the NBC show Heroes. One of the main Characters, Peter Petrelli, is played by Milo Ventimiglia. Milo was born in raised in Anaheim, CA. He attended El Modena High School where he wrestled and held the office of ASB President. He graduated in 1995 and has since gone on to become America's favorite television hero.
Watch the Drucker video to see Peter Petrelli's brother, Nathan, save New York when Peter lost control of his powers and went nuclear (season 1).

Anaheim Angels Breaking News

I was listening to the Joe MacDonald show on KLAC 570 when Joe broke this story...
According to him, All-Star Torri Hunter of the Minnesota Twins, is now an Anaheim Angel! I haven't seen it on the internet yet or ESPN, but he swears it's a done deal. If this is true, it is an awesome pickup for our club. He will provide great defense and a more pop in the already potent Angel lineup. Click on his picture for Torri's beefy stats. **Update: The story is now up on the Angel website

Cloverfield has everyone saying WTF?

We first saw a trailer for this flick when Transformers opened. I saw the Bad Robot logo and immediately got excited thinking I was gonna see something LOST related. Once I realized that wasn't the case, I turned my attention to what looked to be another Godzilla movie. Well it turms out that the mystery behind this teaser trailer would in itself be the biggest viral marketing ploy a movie has ever created. The plot for this film is still a mystery, in fact, the title for this movie was only recently revealed to the public. It is refreshing for once to not have a movie completely revealed in the trailer, and to actually anticipate what the movie experience may turn out to be. Spiderman 3 was horrible at revealing too much before it screened, and it ruined that movie-going experience for me. I'm surprised they didn't show the death of Harry Osbourn in the trailer. Oh wait, they did show that!

What does it all mean?

This cryptic image really freaks me out. For no other reason than it's late and I'm kinda delirious.
I've always been intrigued by the mysteries of Ancient Egypt, The Freemasons, and Extraterrestrials. Yes I said it.
There are dozens of books and articles that are devoted to culminating these subjects into a grand mystery that spans the past 5,000 years. A secret, if you will, that holds information regarding mankind's origins and how everything came to be as it is today.

Razor is frakking awesome!

I found Battlestar Galactica's new movie Razor in above-average quality divx format. It is set to premier on SciFi on November 24th. You can find it here and it definitely does not disappoint. It should hold you over until the final season debuts next year. The Razor movie shows what went down onboard the Pegasus under admiral Kane and flashbacks to a 20 year-old Adama in the first Colonial war. The highlight of the movie is seeing Gen 1 Cylons in action. The picture above is unrelated, just thought it was cool.
