Worth Reading/Watching



The Surprising Science Behind Napping

Roy Choi's Los Angeles Restaurants

There is Amazon Instant Video for iOS BUT NO LOVE FOR ANDROID???

There's No Excuse For Misogyny In Space - This article is about Riddick and its terrible treatment of Katee Sackhoff's character.

Which brought to mind, Hello, Tailor's review of Dredd, in which she calls it a great chick flick. After reading her endorsement, I watched it on Amazon Prime. It was pretty satisfying on several different levels - it wasn't overly complicated, there was zero angst, and all of the main characters were slowly fleshed out, especially the women. Lena Headey was pretty amazing as Ma-Ma, the scary drug kingpin of the Peach Tree block. Olivia Thirlby plays a rookie with psychic powers, and you can see her slowly growing into her role.

Much better than a bunch of lesbo and rape jokes that centered around Sackhoff's character.
