All fest I am going to be taking little clips of people, places and things and blowing them up, dropping giant rocks on them or rolling cars into them. Not because I don’t like them, but because it’s fun! For example, I am [...] 5:53 – My 1st hour scorecard? 5-3. That’s pretty piss poor. 5:52 – Yay!

[...] If New York City Japanese restaurant Hasaki (210 E 9th St, (212) 473-3327) has Copper River salmon, order it. Order it a lot.
