Liz on the Food Network

After Killian and Liz’s wedding in June, they honeymooned on Maui and Oahu. When they got back to Chicago Killian told me that they met Rachael Ray. She was at Rum Fire, a restaurant at the Sheraton Waikiki, and was filming a show. I didn’t realize that they were actually filmed for the show.

Tonight Dallas and I were watching Juno on HBO. It was the second time we saw the movie and at the end I could barely restrain Dallas from grabbing the remote and changing the channel. It’s not his fault, though. He has some disease where he has to hold the remote and he has to flip the channels all the time. This time it actually was a good thing when he flipped it to Food Network. We caught the end of a show called Rachael’s Vacation and it was an episode featuring the Rum Fire. Not only can you see Killian and Liz sitting at a table behind Rachael and her husband, but Liz also had a small clip where she described the ambiance of the restaurant. Killian and Liz missed the show tonight so this post is for them.

Side Note 1: How disturbing is Rachael Ray’s cleavage in this clip? Her wardrobe stylist should be fired.
Side Note 2: I drank a lot of pina coladas at the Sheraton Waikiki pool in 2007.

Carnivale

Carniv�le

Back-to-back, last night I watched the first 3 episodes of HBO’s new series, Carnivale. It’s set in the 1930′s Dust bowl and follows the travels of a carnival that takes in a mysterious teenager who discovers he has the ability to heal. Many have compared it to David Lynch‘s work in Twin Peaks, which I’ve never seen. It’s sinister, spooky, mysterious, weird, supernatural, and strange. iloveit!

Movies, Movies, Movies

Today was a day for movies.

1) Even though Haley Joel Osment bugs the shit out of me, Helen Hunt is hard to accept and trailer trash, and the plot was pretty unbelievable, Pay It Forward was half way decent. Worth the free HBO viewing.

2) You’ve seen the trailers. You’ve thought “That looks like the dumbest movie.” You’re wrong. Rat Race is SO funny!!!

3) I was in my room playing SimCity while my roommate watched The Party, but I saw the Behind the Scenes and all the special features and the director’s commentary. Looks like a good one to check out.

4) One of my favorite movies from last year came out on DVD this week and I snagged a copy today. Ghost World. Just as good the second time around.
