James Gandolfini: What the fuck is that?
Me: It’s a video camera.
James Gandolfini: That fucking thing is a video camera?
Me: It is…they didn’t tell you this was going to be a video interview?
James Gandolfini:Noooo. They didn’t tell us.
Me: Oh, well that’s what we’re doing. Is that alright?
James Gandolfini: Wait, I thought this was for the LA Times?
Me: It is.
James Gandolfini :Isn’t that a newspaper?
Me: Yes….
James Gandolfini: So how the fuck are you going to put a video in a newspaper?
Me: Well actually…the newspaper is just one product. We’re a media company and we have a website also, which is where this video is going.
James Gandolfini: (Looks at me like I’ve just said the dumbest thing he ever heard.
Me: Look, we don’t have to do this. Why don’t we forget it?

Those got me through some dark times. Like living in LA. Oh, and also without cable. Or AC during a record-setting HOT summer. Just watching those episode commentaries over and over and over again. Shouting, “Why aren’t these people famous yet??” Except for James Franco. He was big-time. Spiderman.

Strong Opinions @marksbirch: The Awesome 2011 Chinese Dumpling Tour – Results Show
Last week, an intrepid group of eaters assembled in NYC Chinatown to embark on a three hour tour to devour the best Chinese dumplings in town. Or should I say it was more like a mob? With over 30 people in tow and many logistical challenges, we worked our way through mountains of fried and…
I went on this tour and concur that Tasty Dumpling House was the evening’s prizewinner. Lan Zhou Handmade Noodle & Dumpling was a close second, though, with the bonus of gratuitous noodle ogling. Perhaps I’ll now start eating dumplings on the reg. Or, probably not…but I can point people in a slightly more informed direction.
