My family went back to the old neighborhood in Queens for New Year’s Day yamcha (yes, I know it’s yum cha, but Yamcha is funnier for Dragon Ball fans). Here are some photos, including one I snapped for my friends Jaime and Lorie — it’s the Wendy’s that served as …

Whether you call him Engelbert Humperdinck, Banglebert Slaptyback, Gerry Dorsey, or Slut Bonwalla, I had to snap this photo at Trump’s Taj Mahal in Atlantic City, NJ. As a huge Eddie Izzard fan, it was a moral imperative. Check it out!

As some of you know, I’m in New York for the holidays. Although I love so many things about California, there are a few things I miss about NY. On my way from JFK to my parents’ house, my brother and I stopped by for some pizza. This was entirely …

Saturday’s fight between Paul Williams and Sergio Martinez was one of 2009′s best. It was a highly competitive scrap between two amazingly skilled pugilists. I scored the bout 115-113 for Martinez, but there were enough close rounds that I could easily see a close decision going to Williams. I had …

- Last night’s fight between Ali Funeka and Joan Guzman was fantastic…until the decision was announced. While Guzman boxed excellently for two and a half rounds, Funeka pretty much dominated the rest of the fight. Inexplicably, two of the judges scored the fight a draw. This was the worst decision …

Okay, I’m back from my meeting with the CEO of Machinima.com and lunch with a friend. On the way back home I picked up Majestic: The Final Cut (50 percent off!) and Green Lantern: Agent Orange. I’ve decided that I’ve been playing too much Dragon Age: Origins and need to diversify …

- I received the Wrestlemania 24and Wrestlemania 25 Blu-ray discs. Between videogames and the World Series, I won’t have time to watch the entire cards, but I sure as hell am going to watch the Shawn Michaels matches from each event. HBK/Flair was a brilliant, emotional match that excelled in …

- I’m finally done with my “pay the bills” projects! One was charismatic and one was awesome. *snicker* The good news is that I’ll be able to sleep for more than four hours a night and next week I’ll be able to focus more time on the site.
- I hope …

- How awesome are the Yankees looking right now? I don’t want to jinx it, but the team’s confidence reminds me of the great Yankee teams of the late ’90s. I was still living in NY when they were snatching up World Series — kind of weird to think that …
