I am not sure if you could do this in another sport.

I’m not sure if it was supposed to make a lot of sense.  Original after the jump.
At least one site is saying that is Ron Livingston of Office Space. Play him off Pete…

So the new NHL All-Star Game logo is making the rounds and it is pretty exciting that the game is coming to Raleigh in 2011.  I was equally surprised to see that the logo looked a lot like a Dr. Pepper logo.  Maybe it is the color or the shape but those two logos look a lot like each other.

We’ll do our best to keep tabs on the build up to the game and more importantly and cool stuff that comes our way.  That’s a huge hint to both the All-Star Game and Dr. Pepper that if you want more love headed your way from NOSVC you could be cool and send us something.  We aren’t picky – tickets would be nice.  Box seats would be better.  A six pack of Dr. Pepper and a t-shirt would work.  Make it Diet Dr. Pepper – Cara likes that and always gets excited when restaurants have it.

Seriously – looking forward to this spectacle as it gets played out in our backyard.  I might be mistaken but I think this is the first game of its kind to come to North Carolina and perhaps the biggest game since the Rose Bowl was played at Wallace Wade in 1942.

More info here – including info on the design elements included in the logo.

So we’re watching movies like they just invented the DVD player and there is nothing else in the world to do – thus the title Netflix is Cocaine.  Again my plan was to write a review on each movie.  I had to play catch-up on eight movies at the end of April and now at the end of July I am playing catch-up on twelve.  I know I need to put the remote down and do what I planned but then again the multi-movie wrap-up is just easier and if you want an in-depth analysis there is no shortage of places to find those on the web.  Just like last time I am going to simply label the movies as the ones to see, the ones to consider, the ones to consider passing on and of course the ones to forget.  I know it may not influence your movie watching but if you pull one in the forget column and think it sucked don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Two to See
Adventureland and Gran Torino.  Adventureland was a really good surprise.  I only got it because Jesse Eisenberg of Zombieland was in it and I wondered what agent let their client be in two -land movies back to back. One that reads scripts I guess.  It was really good in a good 80′s movie way and was shot in the 80′s via time machine or something.  It was much better than expected and earns a “to see” designation on that merit alone.  Gran Torino?  It was as good as the critics said it was.  I was impressed and not just because I am afraid of Clint Eastwood and think he might kick my ass if I said anything bad about his movie.  A little sappy turn at the end but it didn’t take away from the overall story. “Get off my lawn!”

So we’ve got a few recipes floating around and we’re going to start putting them into a format that can be easily searched and now – added to by everyone.  So yes – I’ve named this new venture after Cara but I’m interested in seeing everyone’s additions to this cookbook.

We’ll also be doing this on the RenParkOnline Neighborhood site (soon) and I’ll cross post the best sounding recipes from both sites.  Feel free to comment on recipes you try and like or recipes you try and hate.  You’re likely to find both.  Also – let us know if this is an original recipe (no – not KFC) because those are the ones I really want to try.  I’ll occasionally post a good one or two up here but don’t worry – this won’t interfere with the regularly scheduled nonsense that can be expected here.

Click here to get started and I know – there isn’t a lot here yet.  So help out and post your favorite recipe.
