Weekend recommendations

Three things that I have experienced this weekend and would recommend to you, my reader (and presumably) friend.

1. Kefi

After hearing rave reviews from a number of people, we got takeaway from Kefi, a greek place on Tapleys Hill Road at Glenelg North last night. I would highly recommend.

To start of with, the serves are huge. I'd been warned of this so we just ordered one lamb souvlaki to share. It came with two skewers of lamb, delicious potatoes, salad, and some garlic-y sauce. I (barely) finished my skewer, Michella finished half of hers, and her dog Noah got the rest.

It tastes delicious too. I'm no major food critic, but this was good stuff.

2. Life on Mars

This month's Rolling Stone came with a dvd of the first episode of this series (apparently it starts on channel ten in February). Normally I'd ditch this kind of thing, but I noticed it starred Harvey Keitel, Christopher from "The Sopranos", Lisa Bonet (the hot girl from the "Cosby Show" who married Lenny Kravitz), and Lester from "The Wire". It was like I cast the show myself.

So I sat down and watched the dvd and thought it was pretty good. Its based on a UK show which I'll never watch, and is about a cop who gets hit by a car, and wakes up in 1973. You presume its part of a coma, but you don't really know. Anyway, he's a cop back then too, so he solves mysteries which may or may not have a bearing on current 2008 events.

I think I'll stick with it for a while, since I'm too lazy to get an aerial installed at my house I'll have to download the episodes.

3. The Free Darko Macrophenomenal Pro Basketball Almanac

I ordered this off Amazon a week or two ago and it arrived on Friday. To tell you the truth I have no idea what these guys are talking about half the time, but the pictures do look awesome.
