Entourage Observations

We've been enjoying the HBO series Entourage. It's charming despite the inherent unlikability of all the male characters, much like Arli$$ or Curb your Enthusiasm. Yet we keep coming back. A few observations:

• People play up the "uncensored" "sneak peak" into the "seedy" side of Hollywood. Who didn't know Hollywood was sleazy? Is this news to anyone?
• It's nice to be able to peek ahead to trailers for episodes we haven't watched yet without worrying about revealing key deaths or non-deaths, as in The Wire or The Sopranos.
• Adriana: "We are never buying a ticket to a Hollywod movie again. Please download Batman tonight."

You-Chun Korean Restaurant

Noodles

I passed over the egg

The facade is new.

Dumplings were being prepared but not served.

Today I enjoyed a free lunch at the grand opening of You-Chun on 36th street. They only had three menu items available, all variations on spicy arrowroot starch noodles - plain, with beef, and with fish. A couple people walked in and left upon hearing these constraints, but I appreciated the lean offering. Highly recommended.

Get a Tour De France cyclist to wear a GPS and map it on Google Earth real time, and then I'll be really impressed.
