Photoshopping gone horribly wrong in the Victoria’s Secret catalog.

The Yoropen is supposed to be really ergonomic. I have horrible handwriting, so someone buy this and lemme know if it helps improve.

Spider-Man 2 rocked. I’ve been hearing about how the reviewers are raving about it being better than the second, and the commercials for the movie even have Roger Ebert proclaiming it as the best superhero movie ever. It was definitely good. Real good. I don’t know about it being better than the first one though, although I really loved the first one to begin with. They’re both very good, and choosing one as better than the other isn’t going to be easy. I don’t have this huge urge to see it again right away, unlike I did with X-Men 2.

What’s to tell? There’s great action scenes just like in the first, maybe even better. Lots of tense moments (The Doctor Octopus scene scared the crap out of me. Really.), some humor thrown around, and a few sappy/cheesy scenes just like in the first, although I felt they were tolerable and did their part in establishing the characters. And let’s hand it to Sam Raimi for not being afraid of doing some actual character development in this long string of what’s sure to be a successful series.

Things to look for: Bruce Campbell as a snooty theater usher (Go Ash!). Stan Lee in his standard cameo apperance. And Hal Sparks in an elevator? I have no clue who this guy is, but people cheered. The opening credits were really really cool too, and I mean on par with Panic Room’s credits, featuring art by Alex Ross that does a quick recap of what happened in the first Spider-Man. And look for story credit for the movie attributed to Michael Chabon, pulitzer prize winner and an alumni from UCI’s MFA program.

Go watch the movie now.

Spider-Man 2 was awesome. That is all. Must sleep now.

How cool is this. Get your very own Fight Club stationary, addressed to Tyler Durden himself.

Blah I forgot to blog about the redesign. So um, yeah, site’s been redesigned finally. I’ve been playing with CSS quite a bit lately, so doing this wasn’t too hard this time around, and I think if I needed to it wouldn’t be too hard to make changes. I’m liking the look for now though, unless anyone has some major suggestions. And the banners aren’t up yet, that boredom title is just temporary.

I love sending out these Gmail invitations to people.

Sink ya Drink. Knock back the drinks as they pass the line, and watch as the bartender gets more attractive. High score 128.

I attended the Cannibal Flower monthly art show last night in Downtown LA with old high school buddies Tim and Jimi. The art was actually pretty cool, and they even had a live band playing, although I think the main attraction there was all the different types of people that attended. It’s great seeing all the arty hipster types that I feel I should be able to identify with but can’t cause I’m just not “down” with it all. Even caught a cameo appearance of the youngest son from the sitcom “Home Improvement”, wearing a crazy goth outfit complete with stockings that Pippi Longstocking would be jealous of.

Auto response from valloq (5:47:41 PM): washing the car finally
Cinabon00 (5:47:43 PM): you should wash mine too
strjules (6:09:02 PM): wash my car too yea?
strjules (6:09:02 PM): thanks

Yeah, right.

Is it bad that when I walked up to the front door of my house, I reached for the remote for my car, and pushed the unlock button, like it was gonna magically unlock the door for me? Yeah, I thought so too.

I hope I don’t need to do a big plot synopsis for Michael Moore’s “Fahrenheit 9/11″. There’s been enough controversy swirling around it these past few weeks/months about the way it portrays the Bush administration and everything they did (read: didn’t do) after September 11th regarding the terrorist threat. The movie is exactly what you would expect of it, and Brad (Who’s finally switched to Movable Type) does make a good point that it’s not exactly a documentary because of its biased view, but eh, that doesn’t bother me so much. It was still really entertaining, at least the first half was. The latter half of the movie sort of dragged on, and at the point where they’re showing the crying mother who’s lost her son in the war, it felt like Moore was just trying to beat the message into us. If the movie was over about halfway through it would’ve done the same job. Definitely recommended to everyone (Good luck finding a showing that’s not sold-out), and if you see White Chicks this weekend instead of this, I’m gonna hurt you.

Best part of the movie was when footage was shown of Britney Spears saying we should just trust our president to do what’s best for us. Someone in the audience shouted, “Shut the fuck up!” and everyone applauded. Great stuff.

So sad, yet so true. Jun’s pre-med too (UCLA Dental School):

junj00n: cause i would need to be able to drive it if i wanted a bellboy job at the hilton
valloq: bellboy?
valloq: man
valloq: our college degrees rock

The same ad agency that created the Subservient Chicken site, Crispin Porter + Bogusky, have done it again for Burger King, this time coming up with a fake designer touting the new salad pouch he designed. Click on Ugoff and enjoy, and make sure to watch the commercial under Spring/Summer 04. The commercial was directed by Roman Coppola with music by Mark Mothersbaugh. (Sidenote: The Crispin Porter + Bogusky site also has all of those great Burger King ads that have been running. I’m spicy!)

This is nuts. Apparently on March 23rd in a Senate Office Building, the Reverend Sun Myung Moon, head of the Unification church, was crowned and hailed as the new Messiah. What the hell is going on here? Here’s some great quotes from the Salon article, which is free but you have to watch an ad, which means all you lazy asses won’t be patient enough to read it.

Moon preaches that gays are “dung-eating dogs,” Jews brought on the Holocaust by betraying Jesus, and the U.S. Constitution should be scrapped in favor of a system he calls “Godism” — with him in charge.

The event was the grand finale of Moon’s coast-to-coast “tear down the cross” Moonification tour, intended to remove Christian crosses from almost 300 churches in poor neighborhoods — the idea being that the cross was an obstacle to uniting religions under Moon.

This is a link to a transcript, which is from the blog “Where in Washington, D.C. is Sun Myung Moon” tracking all the details of this event.

Read the bumper sticker.

Stumble home drunk game. My record’s 78.

That’s a pretty cool looking quarter. I think it’s only the special 2004 Canada Day coin though, and not replacing their current design. I may be wrong on that one though.

This Jesus Antenna Mast rocks.

A bunch of shockwave games from BLOCgames. I didn’t play all of them, but they have clones of Frogger, DDR, Simon (My alarm clock idea!), and some other fun stuff too.

My brother picked up the Simpsons Season 4 on DVD. We watched the monorail episode tonight, which I believe has a commentary by Conan O’Brien (he wrote the episode). I always forget about this part when I watch it:

Homer gets the question right. Bart expresses his admiration.
Homer: Do you want to change your name to Homer, Junior? The kids can call you Ho-Ju!
Bart: [appropriate pause] I’ll get back to you.

Working on getting this site back to looking the way it was, unfortunately I think all the graphic elements are still on my computer back in Newport (I’m at home in Pasadena now), so it won’t look quite as pretty. But yep, not much else to blog about. Private spaceship flew into space today, crazy stuff.

Ooh, nine hours away from graduation. Is this where I say something profound?

Nah. Not yet. More important news first: boredom babes is back! I gave up on restoring the old files, we’ll start anew. Babes are up now, and I’ll be posting more as I please. Yes, I’m going on a babe posting fit. I’m crazy!

Congratulations to everyone who’s graduating today, from UCI or wherever else: Greg, Laura, Debbie, Mike, Jun, Rod, Richard, Irfan, Kamran, Brad, Basil, Abdul, Julie, Kathy, Leslie, Eunice. I’m sure I’m forgetting other names. I’m sure I’m gonna get my butt kicked for forgetting those names too. So pre-apologies to everyone I’m forgetting!

I’m done! I’m done motherfuckers, yeah!

Took my last final today at 1:30. And that’s it, I’m done with my undergraduate education. Woohoo! Movabletype was installed yesterday onto the new server and I’m working on getting babes back up, so hopefully that will be done today.

I will be graduating this Saturday from UCI, if anyone actually wants to come just ask me for the info.

Woohoo, I’m done!

Random funniness from Katherine Ngo:

I see her in a parking lot and start walking towards her. Then she shouts to me:
“You know, you look hot from far away”

Then I asked her what she was doing for dinner:

Kinky x StyLe: i have leftover fried rice that mommy bought for me yesterday!
Kinky x StyLe: but then again i wanna eat u
Kinky x StyLe: i mean eat WITH YOu
Kinky x StyLe: hahahaha

No wonder she’s still available…

Greatest e-mail ever. I sent Richard an invitation, and for the invitation it asks for their first and last name and e-mail. Guess what I entered for his name:

Fun game where you roll dice and have to figure out the answer, although the trick is figuring out how the game works. Don’t tell anyone else when you figure it out. Took me about 15 minutes, and here’s an article about how Bill Gates tried to figure it out.
