For my birthday on a recent Friday, I decided to celebrate the event with some fine dining. I chose Addis, an Ethiopian restaurant located in Oakland on Telegraph Avenue.

The place was quite crowded and smelled delicious. Unfortunately the crowded atmosphere resulted in quite a long wait for our waitress. However, the wait gave us time to look over the colossal menu, which had a large vegetarian selection.

Over the Presidents Day holiday or, should I say, mini-vacation we had, I went to Las Vegas. There I went to the Palms Hotel and Casino to eat at their Bistro Buffet. I went there for breakfast and lunch.

If you’re in Las Vegas and you’re in your hotel room and you feel hungry, then go to the Palms' buffet. It is a great place for an all-you-can-eat meal.

For breakfast, the restaurant had a wide selection, including a variety of sausages from links to Portuguese sausages, along with bacon and a selection of eggs. There was a chef there who made an omelet of your choice. There also was French toast, cinnamon rolls, pancakes, with a variety of syrups. Also, there were all types of breads as well to go along with the meats. This breakfast buffet is wonderful. I personally really enjoyed the food and so did the rest of my family.

Don't let the majority rule.

As uncommonly as foreign films find their ways into American movie theaters, many are just as moving and entertaining as mainstream films, if not more.

It's somehow more meaningful getting lost in a foreign film and forgetting it's not in English than watching an American film. Ben X is a German film uniquely directed around the life of Ben, an autistic teenager struggling with bullying problems. His autism affects his life and alters his reality. As an escape, Ben uses a video game in which he's a warrior to escape his life. In the game he is successful and praised for his bravery and fighting skills. Outside the game he is vulnerable and a target for cruel hazing.
