Movie lines: Mandatory for vacation: some reading material

Friday, September 9, 2011. Mandatory for vacation: some reading material. My vacation helped me reach my goal of reading 10 new books this year. Before I took a week off in August I wanted to make sure I had some good books to read. I'll admit I'm kind of a nerd for going to the library the Saturday before my boyfriend and I headed for a few days on the Central Coast to make sure I was well prepared. That had an oceanfront view, I started reading "Bitter in the Mouth" by Monique Truong. The next book had...

Monday, January 31, 2011. When a restaurant is named 'burger' its easy to guess what's on the menu. When I went to Santa Cruz a few weeks ago, I figured it would be a great opportunity to meet a one of my New Year's resolutions to eat at five new restaurants (Resolution No. 13.) Driving on Hwy. 1 toward Natural Bridges State Beach, I noticed a brick red restaurant along the road called simply Burger. Customers order at a central cash register area and then are given a picture of a movie star instead of t...

Movie lines: Lentil soup warms a cold, winter evening
http://melissa-movielines.blogspot.com/2011/03/lentil-soup-warms-cold-winter-evening.html
Wednesday, March 2, 2011. Lentil soup warms a cold, winter evening. It's only March, and I've made quite a bit of progress on resolution no. 12. Of course, it is an easy one since I like cooking, and the food column I write for the Pinnacle. Life section gives me plenty of reasons to cook new recipes almost every week. Offers a special passport menu for a couple weeks each month and our Feb. 13 meal happened to coincide with the Puglia. Photo by MELISSA FLORES. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Her Fea...

Monday, November 29, 2010. I finished reading "Hunger," by Lan. Samantha Chang on Sunday marking the completion of resolution No. 1 to read 1o books this year. The short story collection by Chang includes stories that emphasize. Book No. 9 was "Lullaby" by Chuck Palahniuk. World, everything is pretty complicated. The writing style was easy to read and the characters were well developed, but the actions of the characters is far from pleasant. Who is known for rewriting classic fairytales. Book No. was...

Thursday, June 24, 2010. I can't quit this f*$& ng bad habit. For the longest time, probably until a few years after college, I was pretty good about keeping the curse words to a minimum. And I never, ever cursed in front of my parents. Sure, something would slip out occasionally, like a g*#dammit when I stubbed my toe or dropped a glass of juice on the carpet. But it was a rare thing. I don't know quite when cursing started to become a regular occurrence. Now I've always been a little bit of a mimic whe...

Movie lines: A resolution completed at Grill on the Alley
http://melissa-movielines.blogspot.com/2011/04/resolution-completed-at-grill-on-alley.html
Friday, April 8, 2011. A resolution completed at Grill on the Alley. Over the last few weeks, I finished Resolution No. 13 without really thinking about it. Though I like to cook at home - and I do often cook on weekends with my boyfriend - there are plenty of times when we find ourselves going out to eat spur of the moment. Since I found myself wanting to share with him lots of my favorite restaurants - like. In Morgan Hill, or the. We had just a light breakfast so the smells of some of the food vendors...

Tuesday, August 23, 2011. One of my favorite parts of taking a vacation somewhere new is being able to eat out - and since I have a sweet tooth that includes desserts. It's no surprise then that two of the stops on a recent vacation my boyfriend and I took to the Central Coast revolved around places to get sweet treats. I had a few leads on finding places because a friend suggested that we stop in Cayucos. A small coastal town about 10 miles north of Morro. Bay and another friend said Linn's in Cambria.

Sunday, February 27, 2011. I wasn't sure what to expect of Academy Award hosts James Franco and Anne Hathaway, but they did okay with the opening montage. Using "Inception" as the concept for the montage made it really easy for the two to seamlessly mention every movie in the best picture category. Alec Baldwin and Morgan Freeman's cameos were very amusing. The best spoof was that of "The Fighter," in which Anne Hathaway channeled here inner Massachusetts. Rough girl and then socked James Franco. For the...

Wednesday, March 9, 2011. A few good shorts. The 21st annual Cinequest. Film Festival is finishing up this weekend in downtown San Jose. Though the festival runs for 12 days - and I love movies - I opted just to catch two shorts programs so far this year. The festival has a variety of feature films and documentary films, as well as visits from a few celebrities, including AnnaSophia. Robb and John Turturro. I finally figured out why he hesitated. The person in charge of the Cinquest. Short films sets it ...
