Well, wasn’t that an odd night on Idol? One major redeeming quality: Dreadlocks Jason is finally gone.  Too bad so many actual talented people had to leave before him.  If he wanted to go so badly, he should have sabotaged himself much sooner and saved a few others.  

 Three songs each: Judges’ choice, singers’ choice, and produces choice.  I’m not sure which of the three was worse.  None, however, was great on a night when they should have been.  The producers picked lousy songs for the singers, almost trying to see what adversity they could overcome.  At first blush, selecting Longer by Dan Fogelberg for Young David and I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing by Aerosmith for Rocker David might seem like great choices, but alas, not really.  And Rhianna’s version of Hit Me Up from Happy Feet is bad enough.  Sayesha’s version was no better.  It’s almost something you’d expect to hear from Miley Cyrus.    [Read more →]

Welcome to the first edition of the new Zoo feature… The MySpace Hottie of the Week. Each week we’ll feature a new babe whose pictures set the world of MySpace… and our PCs, on fire.

We’re going to start this one off with a bang! I intended this feature to focus on the girl-next-door, round-the-way girl types, but we’re throwing that concept out the window in week one. Our very first MySpace Hottie of the Week is Ms. Sara Jean Underwood, 2007 Playboy Playmate of the Year.

Wine: Napa wines live up to reputation
By Frank Sutherland and KATE SUTHERLAND
Gannett News Service

Napa Valley is the most famous appellation for wine in the United States, producing some of the most popular chardonnays and cabernet sauvignons sold in this country. Chardonnays have a long history — by American but not European standards — in Napa. A winery may be located in Napa but if it buys its grapes from outside the valley, the appellation will read something like “California” or a proprietary name. [Read more →]

The weekend I visited the Beer Mecca of the Northeast– Half Time Beverage in Poughkeepsie, NY. The store claims, “1,800 BEERS, 500 MICROBREWERIES, 100 DELICIOUS STYLES FROM OVER 40 COUNTRIES.”

I was thinking, oh yeah baby! I had heard some fantastic things about this place but I never imagined that it would be so perfect. We were visting my wife’s family in NY for the New Year holiday weekend plus my mother-in-law’s 60th birthday. My wife’s family lives in Larchmont, NY and Half Time is Poughkeepsie about 60 miles away. I’m thinking that it would be close enough to make a trip, and from the reviews I’d read, I knew I had to go. So yes I did the 1+ hour drive and everyone thought I was crazy but they don’t know the lengths to which I will go for quality ales and lagers. [Read more →]
