Vik's take: Shallow AND Pedantic: April 2010
http://vikstake.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Vik's take: Shallow AND Pedantic. Monday, April 5, 2010. Baseball vs. football. Once it became inevitable that the Eagles would be trading quarterback Donovan McNabb, the issue then became one of timing. And, coincidentally or not, the timing meshed with - and overshadowed - the bunting-filled launch of baseball season. To the dismay of MLB Commissioner Bud Selig. Asked about the McNabb deal, Selig sounded off. Per Mark Viera of the Washington Post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Who will win the Super Bowl?

Vik's take: Shallow AND Pedantic. Monday, November 30, 2009. A Word on Professionalism. Now, I don't want to sound like some sort of an elitist or jerk or anything with this post, so I'm going to be careful with the tone. But, I feel like something needs to be said about professionalism and behavior in general. At this point in life, many of the readers of this blog are lawyers (remember when we passed the bar? But every time you see a casual acquaintance does not warrant a four to seven part hand shake ...

Vik's take: Shallow AND Pedantic: September 2009

Vik's take: Shallow AND Pedantic. Monday, September 28, 2009. I realize my last update was only a few hours ago, but with jet lag, the 11.5 hour time difference, etc, you'll just have to deal with it. Today, I went to my other grandmother's house. I hung out with her and some other family, including two of my cousins whom I had not seen since 2000. The three of us went to see a movie, The Orphan, which was pretty good, actually. But the real experience was at the movie theater. Elite access is also clutc...

Vik's take: Shallow AND Pedantic: Movies that you like that I think are awful to disappointing
http://vikstake.blogspot.com/2010/02/movies-that-you-like-that-i-think-are.html
Vik's take: Shallow AND Pedantic. Monday, February 1, 2010. Movies that you like that I think are awful to disappointing. I don't mean that to be combative. I'm just saying that most people like the following movies and I just don't like them. Well, enough of this flim. Flam Let's get to the list. I mean, there were some good lines. But for the most part, I thought it was just not funny. I didn't like Michael Cera's. It's almost like somebody remade Jurassic Park, renamed it "Brian and the Clonoo. Now, o...

Vik's take: Shallow AND Pedantic. Wednesday, May 27, 2009. Top Burgers in Houston. After this Memorial Day's BBQ with three different kinds of hamburgers (with credit to Leighton and Wes, we made "Hometown, H-town, Get Down burgers (also called "regular" but where is the fun in that? 3 Pappas Brother's Burgers. These are huge burgers. Very juicy, very tasty. Points deducted for cost (not cheap), terrible fries and huge crowds at peak times. Still, a good burger. 4 Hub Cap Grille. A tiny place in down...

Vik's take: Shallow AND Pedantic: January 2010

Vik's take: Shallow AND Pedantic. Monday, January 25, 2010. Oh when the Saints go marching in. Sure, that was a cheesy title, but you'll live. It's also perfectly apt. This is a sports alert. For those of you who don't care about sports (this means you, Abbie). As you're well aware, I'm a huge Texans fan. They are my favorite NFL team, by a long shot. Even though they've been tough to watch at times. And the Longhorns are my favorite football team. Adrian Peterson and Jared Allen). Now, of course, footba...

Vik's take: Shallow AND Pedantic. Monday, February 22, 2010. Hey look, another list! You know one of the best part of weekends? Breakfast. I'm not talking about a bowl of cereal or a granola bar, but a real breakfast. We will go in reverse order, for a change. Let's get to the list. 6 Hash browns/tater tots/home fries/any kind of breakfast potato. Maybe because I'm Irish, but breakfast potatoes are clutch. You almost can't have a good breakfast without potatoes. 2 Breakfast Tacos. There is a generic ...

Vik's take: Shallow AND Pedantic. Saturday, January 23, 2010. You know what really grinds my gears? You know what really grinds my gears? People who complain about me not blogging. Hello, I have a real job now. And that job is not writing this nonsense for your amusement. You know what else grinds my gears? You know what else grinds my gears? This lady, who I've seen walking, parks in a handicapped spot every morning. That's just not right. Are you kidding me? Dierks Bentleys albums are as country as it ...

Vik's take: Shallow AND Pedantic. Monday, August 31, 2009. Kreuz Market: The Gold Standard. Last Tuesday, being the last Tuesday of my post Bar exam vacation, some of the guys and I went to Lockhart. Texas for the best BBQ in the Texas. In one magical stretch of Texas Highway 183, in a span of less than 20 miles, 5 of the best BBQ places produce the best BBQ imaginable. Luling. Texas has two of the best and Lockhart. Texas, has 3 of the best including the gold standard, Kruez Market. Especially since I d...

Vik's take: Shallow AND Pedantic. Wednesday, October 28, 2009. Top Reality Shows: Yes, Another List. I'll admit, I've never been a huge reality TV show fan. Back in 1998, I watched about 30 minutes of Survivor before I gave up on it. I know some people really enjoy that show, as well as numerous others such as American Idol, Dancing with the Stars, The Bachelor, Big Brother, and so on. And the production costs are low. If the show flops, no big deal. And if it is a success, its a huge profit. Just to be ...
