Pixar may 'unHollywood' Disney

Pixar succeeded by breaking the Hollywood business model. It employed producers, directors, writers, etc., long-term instead of just for one movie at a time. This created a tightknit company of collaborators who stick together and strive to improve with every production. Pixar brings that model to Disney and may spread it to the rest of Hollywood.

Full House

At Taco Rosa last night, Dennis spoke of an interesting thing. He described how his house was the night before. He has three children: 2 daugthers and a new-born son. He has his in-laws visiting: his mother-in-law and father-in-law. He had his Nanny present (she apparently has a big tattoo of a star on her wrist or something & she is an American, which is unusual). He also had someone over that was trying to have him sign his mortgage papers for his re-fi. He told of all these things with a great sense of contentment on his face. His home was all a bustle and it made him happy. Was it because he felt like he was the commander in chief and it felt good to have this microcosm revolve around him? or did he just like the feeling of energy and people in his proximity? He once mentioned his sense of pleasure when the office was full of workers with each individual interacting with one another, pushing the company peanut forward, without his direct presence or influence.

Lunch

For those of you that live in the Irvine/Newport Beach area. You have to go to Taco Rosa.

I ordered the shrimp burrito. It was just about the best burrito I've ever eaten. Everything was "light" and not heavy. The shrimp inside was breaded and fried, but there was no trace of oil. The shrimp was fresh and springy. It came with a side of rice. Amazingly the rice wasn't bright red or orange, it was a slight greenish tint.

There is a salsa bar, but the waiter brings a sampling of three to your table. I assume you can get up and go get some more on your own.

There is a open kitchen area where you can watch fresh tortillas being made.

My coworkers ordered the milenesa de pollo and the zucchini quesadilla. Both looked on par in quality as my burrito.
