Hey, folks. Remember a few days ago when I promised to do an DVD review? Well, turns out that I was bullshitting. I was suposed to review the DVD box set of the short-lived sketch comedy show The Richard Pryor Show, starring.......well, Richard Pryor.
Well, for those of y'all who read the last part of my "It's a Beautiful Day" post regarding my review of a DVD involving a certain "controversial, yet influential comedic figure", y'all pretty much saw it coming.....unless if I was talking about this guy....
I haven't got around to watching most of the show because, believe me, there are times when some of the sketch material don't go anywhere or occassionally falls flat, but I will get to those faults with my actual review as soon as I get to watch the damn thing again in it's entirety. When I do see it sometimes, it's when repeats are shown on the African American-centric tv network TV One, but those are just glimpses when I go channel surfing. But that's all I have to report, I will get back with you sooner or later with my critique. 'Til then, laters.
R.I.P. Richard Pryor and George Carlin.

It's a Beautiful Day
In case you're wondering why I chose that for my title, I'm currently spending much needed time to myself at the Culver Center in Culver City, California. It's a shopping center consisting of several notable food joints (Panda Express, Subway, California Pizza Kitchen, etc.) Health and Fitness centers (Bally's) and retail stores (Best Buy, Game Stop, etc.) and I happen to be sitting next to the Subway typing my ass away on how much sun I'm getting in addition to the cool breeze coming in. The view from here is great as I'm sitting several feet away from Sony Pictures Studio; watching cars go by and people crossing the street.
Those are few of the pros about chilling here. The cons involves the wi-fi I'm recieving, which lapses back and forth from good to fucking ridiculous, and this steel black table I'm typing on, in which one of the screws is loose and I pretty much have to put up with the constant scrapping sounds as I'm pressing on the laptop with my palm while typing, therefore pressing on the table top as well.
Despite that, I'm still enjoying my time here and think about what else that's notable or mundate that I can blog about for the sake of y'all getting some sort of entertainment value. So...that's all. I'm done typing for the day but I will return soon with a DVD review regarding one of comedy's controversial, yet influential figures. BTW, if you ever roll by Washington and Overland, feel free to drop by the Culver Center, it's a clean environment, has a nice selection of stores to shop at and restaurants at dine at, and there's a chance that any of you people can spot me there...or not. 'Til then, laters. :-D
