Party of One

Ok, so eating out alone sucks. Big deal, gotta eat and microwave pizzas do tend to get old. Well upon signing onto the internet, this article was front up and made me laugh. Dare say a terrific title indeed because let me tell you, I feel like a straight up fool when I go out solo. Introducing: How not to feel humiliated when dining alone

If you’re single, travel for business, or just enjoy savoring a meal without small talk, you’ve probably had the experience of dining alone. This can be immensely pleasurable or incredibly daunting, depending on your temperament and overall approach. To ensure your next table-for-one adventure is as enjoyable as possible, BHG.com offers up these time-tested tips for dining alone.

1. Be Bookish. Always come armed with reading material. Having something to read not only keeps you from getting bored but also serves as a shield against waitstaff pity or unwanted conversational overtures from fellow patrons. Keep in mind that certain reading choices are better than others due to their portability and fold-ability (good: Sports Illustrated bad: War and Peace).

The Karate Kid Trailer

While it's not with Ralph Macchio or Pat Morita (you will be missed), atleast it's not a remake, and definitely should be happy that Hilary Swank isn't in this. It's the new "Karate Kid" with Jayden Smith (Will Smith's son) and Jackie Chan. I was surprised, and I can't wait!

Midnight Juggernauts

Here's yet another great synthpop band from Australia. If you like Cut Copy, then you'll enjoy The Midnight Juggernauts. Apparently they've been described as anything from "prog dance meets cosmic film scores," to "slasher-flick disco" to "deadpan landscape." Here are a couple tracks from their debut album "Dystopia."

"Out into the Galaxy" (This one has the bonus of sounding a lot like David Bowie!):


"Road to Recovery":


"Shadows":
