The two sock monkeys ....

in HK are threatening me with great bodily harm this September. After I stated the events of fitness to be, one of them said he was going to have to excuse himself. The excuse being that he wanted to be the photographer for those events. I am calling you out as a Person Under Severe Stress Yo (aka PUSSY)!

"And Four, You've Been Yelled At!"

The girl on the left is one of my friends that took a picture as well. And if you look beyond her you can make out a large barrel-shaped security guard getting ready to yell at us.

Cupcakes!

I Don't Take Very Good Pictures

This is probably my most interesting picture from my NY trip. Unless you want to see a picture of Magnolia cupcakes.

The good shit ...

Another photo from our kid brother. I wonder what she is thinking?

Verbatim

For my summer job I'm the lackey to the three in-house lawyers which I shall henceforth refer to as Number 1, Number 2 and Number 3, as based on their seniority. Number 1's secretary absolutely drives me crazy. She's a nice woman but with every conversation I have with her I can feel myself aging. She goes into so much detail it's as if she's giving me the play-by-play of her thought process.

The other day we had to edit some proxy forms and when she brought me her revisions this is what she said:

In the old copy, the address was on three lines. But with this copy I put everything on the same line.

Review: 28 Weeks Later

As a standard zombie-survival movie, this movie is pretty kickass. Non-stop gore and lots of visceral, frantic action. As a sequel though, it falls pretty short of the original. In the original, it wasn't the zombies you needed to be afraid of, but your fellow man and human nature itself. This one forgets all of that and just includes plenty of sniper-on-zombie hot loving action.

But there are 2 complete lapses in logic (required to advance story) that i found to be completely distracting. And while the first one featured a memorable eye-gouging, why is it done repeatedly here for no apparent reason?

They recycle the music from the the first one as well. While the first one started as subtle background music gradually increasing to a full climax by the end, this time it's just played at full blast from the get go. Don't know why anyone would care to know that, but it made the pacing feel awkward. Climax-worthy action as soon as the movie starts.

And HSBC HQ was featured so prominently in many scenes, I was waiting for them to blow the shit out of it. Sorta like how they assploded Toronto City Hall in Resident Evil 2. Also, I haven't seen the helicopter so effectively used since Underworld: Evolution. That's cinema gold right there.

If you're not busy stroking cock this weekend, go watch it.

Good Food

I should've taken a picture of the lobster bisque P made. Anyway, it was great.

My Summer Begins

Just settled in at Pru-bert's place. I'm staying here for the summer while I'm working. I can look forward to 3 1/2 months of glorious paycheques and no exams. Good times indeed!

Review: Spiderman 3

Just goes to show critics have inexplicably bad taste (Crash anyone??) and probably some form of ADD. To people saying this movie is a tear-fest Spiderman 90210 - f u. Why didn't you gag during Spiderman 2 when MJ says "but i've always been standing at your door"? If you enjoyed the previous movies, you can't say this one is inferior. It's more of the same, just a lot more.

The drama between Peter/MJ/Harvey is as you'd expect, just a continuation of the previous movies. Dancing dark Peter is awesome, MJ is sweet as usual, and Harvey gets his deserved spotlight. The villains aren't as satisfying as Green Goblin or Dr. Octopus, but they get the job done. Redemption and forgiveness are the themes here. The action is completely over the top, if only a little more physics-defying - Spiderman seems to be a weightless ragdoll most of the time.

Don't want to spoil anything about Topher Grace (I'm sure most already know who he plays). Sure he's able to play an asshole and be funny, but he's seriously miscast here. He's a twerp and not threatening at all.

Watch out for Bruce Campbell, proving once again why he deserves to be a huge star.

Don't be gay, go watch it.

Krabi, Thailand: Part 1

Some photos from my vacation, just shots i quickly picked out because my parents wanted to see.

More photos and stories to come at a later date!

Back to the Student Ghetto Life

I'm leaving E-town tonight and will be in K-Hole by tomorrow morning and then I'll be leaving for T-Dot on Saturday. As I'm packing up my suitcase I'm rummaging through the cupboards to see what food I can take back with me since I don't have any groceries in my apartment. I just stole 4 cans of Campbell's chicken noodle soup and a box of green tea.

My ride this weekend.

Went to SF this weekend. Jen's friends own Cary Grant's Sunbeam Tiger. He drove me around town in it. We went to Muir Woods in the Tiger. I felt like Dustin Hoffman as we crossed the Golden Gate Bridge. Hung out in Noe Valley, Mission, East Bay and Haight. Jen's friend is Airforce Jump and Rescue. Apparently, they are way harder than a Navy Seal. This guy could kill a bear with his bare hands while jumping out of a exploding helicopter.
