Its late, but I just want to say that I’m pretty excited that my Dad is coming to San Francisco today (Thursday) to participate in a panel discussion for the Bay Area premiere of the documentary A Class Apart. This documentary was filmed by Carlos Sandavol, who ‘s film FARMINGVILLE won the special jury prize at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival. The documentary was supported in part by my father’s upcoming book “White But Not Equal”. (He was on the advisory board for the movie). So they’re showing it at the Embarcadero Center tonight (Thursday, February 12th)

The movie premiers on PBS on February 23rd. Hopefully you can check it out! And the book is available on Amazon. Order it here.

Because of this event, I won’t be able to attend Twestival. But I hope you can find a way to support it, as its a really special event. You can find out more info on the website (linked above) or on my blog post on What Gives!?

I consider myself the risk taking type, and specifically advantageous when the risk is minimal So while paroozing the Stonestown Mall (no, I wasn’t trolling for girls, though I could see why you’d think that…since it’s like High School Musical at that place), I decided to try eating Sushi there.

I know; Sushi at the Mall? That’s like eating at Panda Express and NOT BE AT THE MALL.I had what they called the “Killer” roll, though the girl pronounced it as “Killers roll” so immediately I got “Mr. Brightside” stuck in my head.

It’s been about 4 hours since I had the roll (and miso soup) and so far the stomach is A-OK and no signs of Montezuma’s revenge.

I then headed to the theater to see Defiance, but then while I was in the urinal (after buying the ticket), I read a review on my Blackberry that basically summed it up as “emotion-less”. So I walked into Underworld: Rise Of the Lycans instead. I had seen the previous 2 films, and this was the prequel of the already implied storyline.

In spite of already knowing what it was going to be about, I was pleasantly surprised at how good the story was told. The special effects were simliar to the first 2 films, so nothing “wow” about that. Rhona Mitra, who plays the main character, Sonja, was STUNNING. Or just plain old HOT ASS, if you prefer that type of terminology

If you’re on the fence about watching since you haven’t seen the first two, or skipped the second one, you’ll be fine watching this. There are slight references to the future, but you won’t be lost (kinda like watching Back To The Future III before watching II).

I’m waiting for food, godspeed all
