Birthday Girl feat. YODC

This was supposed to be the lead single for the eighth studio album by The Roots, but was scrapped off the album because it sounds like a 311 song. Starring porn star Sasha Grey and featuring the vocal stylings of Patrick Stump of Fallout Boy fame, the video also has cameos of the YODC crew. At the 1:09 mark, Freefall Jones (the Cyclops of YODC) enters the scene. Behind him, Guillermo Paco Castro Jimenez DeLaSantos Reyes, Jr. makes his triumphant return from Mexico. At 1:34, Tsuji Eriku (wearing his lucky baby blue polo from Jr. High... and a wig) enters with a gift in hand for Ms. Grey. Following him is Terrence Maddox and a bearded Langdon Alger. Each eagerly waits to give their gift to the birthday girl.

Into The Mirror video DL

Pics from Fanime 2008...Part One

outside the convention center

my camera focused on these two for some reason

this guy, dressed as Rick Hunter, had the best pose of the day. He just stood there with that stupid grin on his face




and the ish I bought...


both SoG and Freefall took pics as well, they'll PROBABLY post their's up soon

Raspberry Cheesecake Parfait

The Harvest Buffet at Cache Creek is okay. The entrees are average at best, but their desert bar is pretty damn good. They serve real Dreyer's ice cream (not self-serve soft serve), a Bananas Foster that you'll probably get drunk from, and my newest desert god -- the Raspberry Cheesecake Parfait.



This isn't just a regular slice of cheesecake, as you can see it comes served in a classy wine glass (also note the classy photo my sis took above; it's got glass-warped old people in the background). This elegant three-layer presentation of raspberry reduction, whipped cheesecake, and graham crumbs puts all other cheesecakes to shame.


Executives at The Cheesecake Factory are probably yelling obscenities at each other for not thinking of this. So the next time you're at the Creek, before you blow all your cast at the Wheel of Fortune slots, hit the buffet and get one of these.

Persian Babes

All right, Weinstein, you wanna curry this blog all up? How about a little magic carpet with that curry? That makes no sense.

This is Sarah Shahi -- she played some DJ on "The L Word" and currently plays a detective on the excellent cop show "Life".

Bollywood Babes

Raima Sen

Another sexy vixen from the land known as Bolly. She gained her fame for acting in some artsy movies. When I mean artsy, I mean the ones where there is no song and dance routine for no apparent reason. Sexy Mo Fo.

Weinstein's Video Vault

Some good ol' hip form back in the day. The first one is Ghetto Concepts "EZ on the Motion" and following that up with Original Flavor's "All That". Makes me yearn for the 91-96 days.

Midnight Train to Georgia

Happy Trails Dennis Richmond

After 40 years of anchoring the 10 O'clock News on KTVU Channel 2, super suave Dennis Richmond has decided to retire.

Weinstein's Video Vault

More Bad Martial Arts

Just saw these clips on the tube, so I figured that they need to be on there. More bad action but this time from our neighbors in Talibanland also known as Pakistan. I used to think the land of Bolly was bad but man, they're really going out of their way here. The best part is the sound effects because I can never figure out how anyone could make such sounds.

J-Music Clip of the Week

Artists: PUFFY

Single: All Because of You (Music Fair 21 performance)

All Because of You video DL

*if you haven't seen the PV for this song yet, you can check it here

**and for those in the Bay Area, you can now watch Music Fair 21 every Sunday at 9pm on KTSF 26...the episodes seem to be a few months behind schedule though, which means you won't be catching the same ep that showed in Japan that same day(or day before)

Bollywood Babes

Shama Sikander

Another babe from the land of Bolly. Now it is confirmed that India has hot Muslim women not confined to the burkha.

This chick is starring in some low grade tv shows in India..but who the hell cares, she is hot.

BTW Sikander in the mother tongue means Alexander the Great...if you're interested, which I am sure you are not.

Diggin' In The Crates "Not As Cool As CJ's Stuff" Edition

12in Tokyo Tribe Hasheem from Santastic x HOW2WORK Toys

SCANDAL LIVE!!

someone on jpopsuki was kind enough to upload last week's ep of Music Japan with SCANDAL making their first(?) live tv performance..I edited out all the "junk" and what we have left is just the SCANDAL part:

quality isn't the best but you can download it here if you like

What are you doing with your rebate from the government?

Me? I'm going to pay off a ticket I got and repay some of the money I advanced myself from my paycheck.
