Saimira European Grill

Saimira's Outside

Since I’ve gone back to work at the end of October, my friend Kelley and I go for dinner just about every night. On so many occasions before returning to work, she had mentioned this great little restaurant by Klosterman Road that I should go with them to. Not being one to go out in general, I would always say nah maybe some other time. Now, by the time I get off work, I’m absolutely ravenous so one night, Kelley suggests again that we go to Saimira’s. It was probably one of the best suggestions I’d ever taken her up on!

Sons of Anarchy

Sons of Anarchy (FX Network)

Earlier this year, stumbling around on Hulu, I came across Sons of Anarchy. Many who know me, know that I’m a huge fan of the History Channel’s Gangland and NatGeo’s Outlaw Bikers shows. I can probably name a dozen national and international motorcycle club names without even thinking about it. Needless to say, my curiosity was piqued and I had myself a mini SAMCRO marathon (mini because Hulu only had rights to the last 5 episodes or something like that). In most of the episodes of Gangland and Outlaw Bikers, only a hint of a member’s personal life is given – usually it’s only a mention of how a motorcycle club’s women are referred to as “old ladies” and not as wives or girlfriends. Sons of Anarchy was going to be a fictional depiction of life as a member of a violent motorcycle club in a fictional and ironically named town in northern California.

Totally Luvvin Dexter!

Dexter (Showtime)

A few months ago I signed up with Netflix because they offered streaming via the web and the Nintendo Wii. My DVD queue is currently full of Northern Exposure, and I’m waiting on Disc 1 of Season 3. My Instant queue, however, is full of tons of old tv series like Coach and Quincy as well as Family Guy and American Dad.

Several weeks ago, I was doing a search and stumbled upon Dexter, a Showtime series. Netflix had the first 2 seasons available for streaming and I was curious about it. I’d read last year something about the actor who plays the main character, Michael C. Hall, was suffering from non-Hodgkins Lymphoma (I think), and that he was expected to return for the 3rd season. I already knew that his character was a vigilante serial killer and I was bored and it was available so I added it to my queue and watched it.
