Killing time before POTO...
Just finished watching A Gifted Man. I'm liking it way more than I thought I would! First off... It's about a doctor, Patrick Wilson, who sees his dead wife. With that premise... OK... Watching the 1st ep. It reminded me of... What was that show? With Jonny Lee Miller, but without the dancing and singing. He's a neurosurgeon and thinks he has a brain tumor, etc, etc. But he's fine. Anyway, his dead wife, played by Lizzie Bennet (She's American!?!) wants him to help out this community clinic. He reluctantly does. I like how in the 2nd ep he's still fighting that and not like most series after the set up in the pilot everything is honky dorey. Anyway... Why am I amused? I don't know... It's funny in it's own way. Add to that... I mean... You're doing chest compressions on a patient and their heart tracing is a perfect sine wave! HAHAHA!!! Then in the 2nd ep Raul Esparza shows up at Patrick Wilson's dead wife's boyfriend. Oooh... If I were Lizzie, I'd have a hard time deciding if I wanted to show up to Patrick or Raul... And I swear parts are shot in Astoria. I mean... Outside (not literally) of Silvercup studios. Like the warehouses around the East River. Where be my girls to find Patrick for me!?! Maybe he'll be lunching in Subway one day. HAHAHA!!! So yeah, I like the show. Oh and... I guess Patrick is no longer bald?
Anyway... Been watching a lot of Kitchen Nightmares. It makes me feel... Having a restaurant isn't that hard. Fill a niche that isn't being filled. Have a simplified menu, cook fresh and you're set. Jennie has mentioned wanting to open a restaurant with Tita Carmen's cooking. 7500centfish and sparkyboy like to cook... I'm certainly not keen on serving, nor am I a leader for management... But... I even said to 7500centfish, someone needs to reinvent Filipino cuisine. In my experience, it's a plate of rice and meat and or veg, no presentation. All the restaurants I've been to are family style or cafeteria style.
When chatting with Jennie a while back... She said I could be entertainment. I'm not that good. It seriously saddens me I can't play POTO anymore. :(
