HBO has released a couple of trailers over the weekend. The first is for Game of Thrones season two. It's the best look yet at the upcoming season. The second trailer is a teaser for the fifth season of True Blood , which is on a short leash for me. I've begun to grow tired of the show and feel like they have to start killing off some major characters to keep me vested. April 1 at 9 p.m. can't get here quickly enough!
Buried? You know what that means.. Russell's back. I can't wait for the season to start this summer.

Two days, two miracles! We're only two days into 2012, and already this feels like another one, a second unexpected miracle. As you might recall from my previous post (and if not, you can read it here ), my first one was waking up solo on New Year's Day. Now, for the first time ever, I actually want to see a movie starring Robert Pattinson. I'm one of the lucky few who has never seen a Twilight film, and I have no desire to ever do so. Despite a short-lived passing interest in [...]
Alex's Bar was the location, Future Islands was the band, and Long Beach was the city for people swaying back and forth in an almost trance-like state.

![Newcastle Brown Ale: Walk The Dog Day [9/24/11 - Alex's Bar - Long Beach, CA - Recap]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3750778_lg.jpg)
This past Saturday was the inaugural Newcastle Brown Ale "Walk The Dog" day, an annual event. In the UK, people affectionately refer to Newcastle Brown Ale as the 'Dog.' The euphemism of "Walk the Dog" originated in Newcastle, UK, and is code for heading over to the local pub for a pint of Newcastle Brown Ale. Trying the patience of significant others for years now, this drinking excuse has become an English classic. The event was awesome. There was a sizeable turnout at Alex's Bar, also known as Fangtasia or the vampire bar in the Showtime series [...]

Origins of Dog Walking A euphemism originating in Newcastle, UK, "Walking the Dog" is code for scampering to the local pub for a pint of Newcastle Brown Ale.

Since the citizens of Bon Temps dropped like flies (RIP Jesus, Marnie, Nan, and possibly Tara) on True Blood's surprising finale, season 5 will introduce fresh meat and showcase some familiar faces. "There will be a very significant, strong, mysterious woman at the center of one of our main stories next year," says co-executive producer Raelle Tucker. "That will be a very familiar and compelling character. It may be someone you've heard of before." We will also once again visit the fairy world touched upon at the beginning of season 4. Says Tucker, "Season 5 will explore more fairies, new [...]

Malcolm* was cute, and he seemed like a nice enough guy. He just happened to catch me at the wrong time -- 2.30pm on a Tuesday, when the last thing I wanted was love in the afternoon. What I was looking for was to kill a few hours in Manila between my late 2pm check-out from Antel Spa Suites and my 11.15 flight back to Bangkok. So when he messaged me on Tuesday morning asking to meet up, after a weekend and a day spent avoiding him, I finally relented. We arranged [...]
