HOTSPOTS:

FIVE GUYS BURGER & FRIES

Want a "Six Dollar" burger without the restaurant and the microwave patties from Carl's Jr.? The east coasts' equivalent to our west coast In N' Out comes Five Guys Burgers & Fries now open in Cerritos California. Except these burgers are a little more pricey, but compensates with it's size and variety of condements/toppings your allowed to add on to your choice of burger or hot dog. From add-ons of mayo to mustard, from onions to peppers, from A-1 sauce to Hot sauce. It's your choice of what combination you want on it. Prices varry from $4.49-$5.59 for burgers and $2.59-$3.99 for hot dogs. But be careful on what you order. Just because it says "little burger" doesn't mean just that. The little buger means it only comes with one patty, while the regular burgers come with two patties. I ordered a Bacon Cheezeburger and heard the lady yell out "double patty!". They also have great fries from regular to cajun style(which isn't hot at all) that are delicious. So you got money to spend? Craving burgers? Get your ass to Five Guys!

MUSIC:

Sorry if I missed last week. I've been busy with other things like the Daily Dynasty blog.
THIS WEEK:

Artist: Musiq Soulchild
Album: Aijuswanaseing(2000)
Genre: R&B/Neo Soul

RATING:

4 out of 5 stars.

This is my stuff right here. From the moment I bought the CD, I remember having it on repeat all day long. I First heard hit single "Just friends(Sunny)" off the Nutty Professor Soundtrack. Musiq came at the right time when Neo Soul was on the rise. If you weren't already a Neo Soul fan before... You were now after you heard Musiq's debut album. With original songs that just sound real lyrical as if he was having a convo with you. From the song "You and Me" about a girl who's been around but still in love with(Where do you think Lil' Wayne got his lyrics for his "Prostitute Song" from?), to "Seventeen" where he finds out the girl he's dating is.. you guessed it, Seventeen. And then he hit us with the super ballad "Love" that goes deep into the meaning of it. I mea to get a better understanding of what the hype is about then juss listen to it.

SOUNDS LIKE:

Stevie Wonder and D'angelo's voice mixed together layed on some hip hop beats and smooth jams.

SONGS TO DOWNLOAD:

I mean if you don't already know what songs are good from this CD then ur an idiot...but for the people who havent heard the whole CD. Try DLing "My Girl", "L' is gone", "Speechless", and "Poparatzi".

MOVIE OF THE WEEK:

ETERNAL SUNSHINE
of the spotless mind. (2004)

GENRE:
Romantic Comedy/Fantasy/Drama

Director:
Michel Gondry(Be Kind Rewind)
Who's in it?:
Jim Carrey(Bruce Almighty)
Kate Winslet(Titanic)
Whats The Deal?:
Joel(Jim Carrey) has just found out his Ex-Girlfriend Clementine(Kate)had him erased from her mind(Yes erased, erased) through an experimental procedure. Still hurt from the fresh wounds from the relationship, he decides to get the same procedure. As the erasing starts from latest memory of Clementine, it tells/shows a backward story of how their relationship became shitty. Though half-way through the procedure, Joel realizes he is still in love with her and doesn't want to go on with erasing his last memories of her. Stuck in his memories with Clementine he tries to hold on to their experiences together as they're being erased one by one. But after the procedure will Joel remember her?

Why Should You Watch It?:
It's one of my all time favorite movies. Directed by French Director Michel Gondry who has already done plenty of odd movies(Science of Sleep & Be Kind Rewind). To me it's one of the best love stories ever told. It's a sad, funny, romantic, heartbreaking, complex, movie that'll make you laugh and cry at the same time. Unlike most love stories, it starts off where the two people absolutely hate each other but then still find the ability to fall in love with each other all over again. I mean if your tired of watching the same "Boy falls in love with girl, then they get married" type of movies then try somethin different. I guarantee you, this movie is different!

HOTSPOTS:

Pho Hoa.

Ever crave pho at a random time? Just realizing it's way too late? Wishing there were a place where you can eat pho after hours. Well there is such a place. Just take a drive down to Westminester on Bolsa Avenue and open 24 hours a day is Pho Hoa. They've got a variety of things to choose from on the menu. From rice plates to original pho bowls(For a reasonable price,varrying from $6-$7 a bowl), choosing what ingredients you want in your bowl from briskets to tripe(Carefull, you might be pressured to order some Meat balls). And if you want a refill on noodles, they provide that for $1 i believe (or sometihing like that). They've also got great egg roll appetizers and vegetable pho for the non-meat eaters. Their service is a bit questionable. But what foreign speaking restaurant isn't?
Not to sure u want to drive all the way to Westminester and then find u don't like anything from their menu? Check it out, they've also got a website! So the next time it feels a little nippy outside, and your craving something warm and delicious. Check out Pho Hoa. Be sure that the sign says Pho Hoa because there's also another 24 Pho spot that is also good, but they charge for water.

Words of advice: Durring the weekends(even on thursdays) after hours(usually after 2am) there might be a crowd there because alot of people tend to go there after the club.

THE DAILY DYNASTY

Well, the inevitable has happend. We(Robert and I) started our own Lakers Blog here at blogspot named Daily Dynasty. Took a while just to figure a name. We tried "Showtime", "L.A.kers", "Lightsout"(which is probably my favorite) and ended with "Daily Dynasty". It has that newspaper sound to it dont it?. Well the idea for this blog came from Robert who then saw my blogspot and gave me a "serious proposition" to start our own Lakers blog, being that we both are die hard Laker fans. And so we did. Things are still in the works, but if you're interested please go and check it out.
So for new updates on Lakers. Just go on Daily Dynasty.

8-1

The face says it all in this picture. Lakers pull out another (106-109) win against the Chicago Bulls. Which I believe should have been an easy win but the Bulls stayed in the game thanks to their rookie guard Derrick Rose. But Rose couldn't do it alone. He had Backcourt mate Ben Gordon alongside with him that kept the Bulls in the game. But again, their Bigs were almost a non-factor.


I know this post is a day late but whatever. Pau Gasol came out BLAZING with 22 points in the first half and ending with 34 points and 6 rebounds. That man could not miss! Kobe added 21 points and 6 assists. And Lamar, man...that man filled up the box again with 10pts, 8rebs, 5ast, 3stls, AND 3blks... fouled out in the fourth. But even though Lakers did well, the thing was Bulls were right there with us every step of the way led by Rose who had 25 points and 9 assists by the end of the night. So once again it was the guards that hurt us the most.
Though the Lakers came out with another win, I myself was not impressed. We gave up 109 points(when their avaerage is less than 100) and let them shoot 43%. Bulls won the rebounds(+5) and their bench scored nearly 40 points compared to our bench who had 29 points. What happend to holding teams to 86pts at 37% shooting? I mean yeah we won but comming off a terrible game against Detroit with 3 days rest? C'mon dood! We need to tighten our shit up!
Up Next is Shaq's Pheonix Suns who seem to be doing pretty good. Added Matt Barnes and moved Grant Hill to be the 6th man making their bench that much more better. We'll see though. Should be another good game tonight.
