My 2012

How can I sum up my year now that I'm at the very last day of it? 

Pretty amazing.




With the Lights Out, It's Less Dangerous

My big ticket item in 2012 was my trip to Seattle. The Pacific Northwest has always been alluring to me, but moreso now that it's

A Moment Of Reflection

It is hard to believe that it have been a whole year of writing here at Robot P0rn. Honestly this endeavor has always been the Chef and I just writing our conversations down for you, our faithful reader to read and be bemused by. Cause really that is how it all started. If you go back to our very first post it told you’re the origin of this blog which was at the Triple Crown Diner in Bellerose, NY over a BLT and some potatoes and eggs. Needless to say I had a blast writing this year. The only thing I had wished is that we could have written more than we did. But the real world is a cruel mistress and it only allowed us to write about

The Year in Muszak


          It was a very good year to me musically. Definitely one of the most fun concert wise for me. Over fifteen concerts I saw a diverse lineup of acts both new and old. Most importantly I had fun doing it most of the time save for Fiona Apple, and Jay-Z (The former because of the crowd and the act itself, and the later due to the people who I went with that is not the Chef herself). Having said that except for the possibility of

Everything is Politics



Everything is Politics
                Honestly I hate what politics does to people. Much like religion it turns ordinary good people into biased, crazed, partial lunatics who cannot be talked to nor reasoned with. This presidential election I feel like has been a more heated, testy election then in any of the previous ones because of the state of the economy. Things are tough on everyone

Enough With The Concerts Already!


               We here at Robot P0rn understand that you might not enjoy our subject matter as much as the next person. I know that you may ask, “Your title is Robot P0rn yet you never talk about robots or porn”? This is because I do not hate neither robots nor porn but just

So I was talking to this shark on the train today…

 Life is all about moments. Moments of, joy, sadness, love, anger, etc. These moments make you feel that you are truly alive. You know those moments. I just went to one of my best friend’s wedding recently and she looked so happy marrying the man of her dreams. If anything, the grooms family was even happier then

I Went In With A Naked Lady And Left With A Linkin


 This has been the summer of concerts for me and the chef. We have attended a lot of shows with several more having been added recently. Those shows being Fiona Apple, Jay-Z, All-American Rejects, and Grace Potter and the Nocturnals all coming up in the near future. But we recently did something we have never

Musically Inclined: Songs for Sobbing

Since J posted his "Music for the Masses" yesterday, and I sort of just gave them the 2 out of 3 thumbs up (I don't have 3 thumbs), I figured it was only fair to pick 3 of my own. Rather than digging deep into my iPod of musical memories and picking the best of the best, I decided to just go ahead and pick the three that I go to when feeling a certain way.

Music For The Masses




 The Chef and I have been toying with this idea for awhile. Have random blog entries that are not long, twisting diatribes but short, to the point quick hitters about whatever we fancy. It is for us so we can keep the page constantly updated with new content, and it gives us a chance to put out there what has been on our

Fifty Shades of.....Zzzzzzzz


 
 
If you are a big-time fan of Twilight, this review will probably not be well received by you. Look away now. I promise you sarcasm. I promise you snark. I will drop spoilers with a scathing litany of colorful language, that will go way beyond a trite little "Oh

The Dark Knight Kicks Avenger Ass




My most anticipated movie of the year was Prometheus. For more then a year since I heard about the project I could not wait to see it in an IMAX theater near me. The biggest reason was because it could be something of a prequel to the Alien franchise. I loved the idea that Ridley Scott would return to the

Thank You For Ruining Movie Night


 More so then every before going to the movies is the way many of us escape the realities of real life. Bills, broken relationships, unhappy family life, all disappear when we step into that darkened theater and for two hours we forget everything and just want to be entertained. Just as in life there is

Island Of Fire


One of the things I most look forward to every summer is the annual pilgrimage my friends and I take to Fire Island in Suffolk County. For those of you who do not know Fire Island is a car free oasis about an hour outside the city. It is only about 31 miles long and it is made up of different little communities. For the sake of this article I am

Check, Please!

You're out to dinner with another person. The check comes and you both blankly stare at it. Who pays the bill? Here are a couple of scenarios and how I've dealt with it.

The First Date
You're finally out sharing a meal with someone. It's kind of a hook-up. It's kind of a date. Either way, there is potential for some horizontal time with this someone special. Whether he is Mr. Right or Mr. Right-Now, this is a date. Make no mistake. It's a date. As a female who has always had a job and been fairly

Musically Inclined

Top 5 Concerts

 I love music. I can remember the second I really got into music. It was in 1998 and my boy gave me a copy of DMX great debut album, “It’s Dark And Hell Is Hot”. Just everything about this album left me amazed. The passion in DMX’s voice, the things he was talking about, but most importantly the beats. I am a huge

Could You Please Just Stop Annoying Me?

 I feel like the Chef and myself in the first few blogs haven’t really written about anything fun. Sure her and I find the stuff we write about interesting, but maybe you, our loyal audience would like something a little more frivolous. I know, The Hunger Games,

May The Odds Be Ever In Your Favor...

(Spoiler warning: I am writing this article with the assumption you know/have read The Hunger Games series of books. I am not going to reveal too much but I am going to say things that if you have not read all three books yet could give away future events if you have only read the Hunger Games so far. So now

Transformers - Robot Porn

Let me start this off right. Yes, I was born in ’78 and grew up with all those fantastic 80’s cartoons that people in my generation know and love. When this trend of bringing those cartoons to the modern day big screen started, I was excited. While my family and I did spend good money watching some

Robot P0rn


As with so many of my stories it all starts at the Triple Crown Diner in Bellerose, NY one late night with my friend Katherine (who shall be henceforth be referred to by her nom de plume Chef Queenie). We are seated enjoying our obligatory food stuff of choice, which in this case is a BLT for her and two eggs scrambled for
