Zoot scoot vroom!

I tells ya, my electronic projects are coming along. By the end of the year, my dream machine computer will be near completion. That is if I don’t just go out and get the Sony desktop which already surpasses my crap dream machine. But with a new dvd drive loaded and a new hard disk and subwoofer on the way, I’m getting primed for some good video gameness. Not to forget my my new home theatre back home. You won’t believe the difference component cables make. Now all i need is a ps2 (coming in the mail!), surround sound, and a progressive scan dvd machine. But enough of my excitement.

So I think this is the first evening I’ve spent in the ’sauga ’shouse in almost two weeks. But it’s been totally great. I’ve burned at least 200 litres of gas (both from my car and from my butt… oh sooo gassy!) and there really isn’t anything like driving with cruise control. But I think the zoot scoot vroom vroom lifestyle was starting to wear me down. I dozed off at the wheel, and when I woke up 3 seconds later, I realized that I’d better get into bed. So, I’m back on my rigorous 9pm bedtime schedule.

I’ve been to Waterloo seven times in the past week and a half, usually just for a quick meal, then off to the saugs. Want me to visit YOUR southern ontario university? I’ll do it! just tell me when to visit and I’ll be there in a snap! (As fast as cruise control will take me).

Ok, I’m totally going to start shopping for a webhost now that my computer works again. Want to sponsor hiyo.org? I know you do!

I guess I’ll recap what’s been going on since I miss this site. I bought rap tix for three reg season games! Whoo! Totally exciting. I got an AMEX so i can buy rap tix a week earlier than everyone else! That’s totally key. My new camera is insanely wicked. But I’ve lost the uplink cable already. Can you imagine how annoying that is? I made a short film with hitoshi entitled hizzo. You should watch it if you get the chance. The christmas break is looking to be a really memorable experience. Just some loose ends to tie up, and we’ll be ready to get dirrty!

Dammit! I just got seafood sauce in my keyboard. AAAA AAAA AAAAAAAAAAA AA AAAARRR RRRRRRR RRR RGGGGGGG GG GGGGGGG HH HHHHH HHHH!!!!! *pant pant* I hate my life! Why am i even alive!?!?!?!? This is the worst moment in the history of the universe! Seafood sauce in the keyboard!?!!?!? There’s nothing worse that can actually happen!!!!!! Excuse me while I have a fit away from the computer as not so smash it in an incredible hulk type rage. Bie!

I hate custard buns

baaaarf. damn custard buns. i was expecting a big chunk of meat and what do i get? custard! grumble grumble. This is the worst day ever!

Google Toolbar

Here’s something incredibly useful which most people would benefit from installing. The Google Toolbar! It’s a little add on to your internet explorer GUI which lets you search google, the website you’re on, highlight important words on any site and a lot of other nifty things. It really saves me a lot of time by just keeping me from having to go to google.com to search.

And it auto updates itself. They have a new feature where the toolbar will detect when your computer is idle but online, and will use the power of your CPU during this idle time to do research calculations.

The first beneficiary of this effort is Folding@home, a non-profit research project at Stanford University that is trying to understand the structure of proteins so they can develop better treatments for a number of illnesses.

I think this is totally cool. That’s it for now. Uploading pictures of the weekend!

Review: The Tuxedo

This is definitely not a rental. The Tuxedo: My account of weekly fun in the Sauga.
Some aspiring hollywood movie writer must have thought he was sitting on a pot of gold. He had an amazing get rich quick scheme. In his hands he was holding the script of a future hollywood major box-office smash. An action comedy starring loved by all, martial arts/action/comedy/chinese superstar that can make any movie a hit. and following the wake of the hugely successful Rush Hour series, which were so great because of the great chemistry between Jackie and Chris Tucker. So popular was it, that they decided that the formula needed some tweaking to make it even better! (can you imagine?) So the hollywood writer must have brainstormed.

In Tucker/Chan, there’s something missing, what what is it? I’ve got it! No breasts! Now that we’ve isolated the problem, what are our possible solutions? Tucker or Chan could get breast implants… but they would probably hinder Jackie’s fighting style. And Tucker is ugly enough as it is, no amount of surgery could fix up that monstrosity.

The only other viable option would seem to lead to dropping Tucker in favour of a hot, smoking chick to play opposite Jackie. Yes! That’s it! That’s a two-hundred million dollar idea! Now instead of just getting the action/comedy crowd, you’d also pick up the action/comedy/”dying to see some 20 feet tall breasts” crowd.!!!

After throwing together a half-decent plot where Jackie puts on a two-billion dollar tuxedo and fights bugs, the hollywood writer submitted the script to look for buyers. It must have been a good day to find out his script had been picked up! And yes! Jackie Chan was going to star in the movie! Things could not get any better! Until…

He finds out they cast “Dog-butt-faced” Jennifer Love Hewitt to star as the leading breasts. Noooooooooooooooooooooo! “Please, please, please don’t cast that monkey in a dress! Don’t ruin my movie! I’ll do anything, here, chop off my arms and legs and sell them on the black market! Anything! Just don’t cast “The Original J-Lo”!”,

But pleading, begging and praying can only get you so far. And of course, on the movie theatre billboards, you see Jennifer Love’s face ont he movie poster. You know how it all turned out.

The funny thing is that they wrote a script ‘knowing’ that the lead chick would be smoking hot and could seduce a number of male characters in the movie in several scenes, but when the finally made the movie, they didn’t change the scenes at all to reflect who was actually playing the role. I mean, no one can act that well, and add to that, we’re talking Party of Five J-Lo.

But I’ll spoil it for you (you aren’t going to see the movie for the sentimental parts now are you), in the end, Jackie’s character come about five words short of calling Jennifer Love Hewitt a soul-less skank butt ugly hoe! It was great. They must have added that scene just for me. And in the outtakes, and this really really happens, Jackie squishes up his already wrinkly old face with both hands to make him look as ugly as possible, and basically is like, “Hey The Original J-Lo, you look like this!” That is pure gold. You have to watch the movie for that, if not for anything else.

My final rating? Three out of five tapioca balls plus two coconuts, because hey, i’ve gotta admit, she does have a (as the movie puts it) “nice rack”. Bot bot!

I’m thankful for turkey farmers.

[cue music!] Turkey time! Da-da-da-da-da-da-da turkey time! Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-dooo turkey time! It’s turkey time! Toniiiiiiiiiiiiiiight! Frank you! Frank you.

When I’m starving and I just want to stuff handful after handful of food into my mouth, there isn’t anything I can think of better than thanksgiving (or christmas!) turkey with all the fixin’s. There’s just something about two slices of oven roasted turkey wrapping globs of cranberries, stuffing and a lot of gravy as it’s being crammed down my throat by the next bite (squished up ball) or turkey. There’s just not enough time in my short life to chew. It’s a lot happier in my stomach.

With that said, it’s clear that I’m excited about thanksgiving (which americans celebrate in a month… go fig. While I eat turkey, they celebrate fallen soldiers… again.). That shouldn’t take away from what a great weekend this will be. Aside from my being busy like it’s nobody’s business (I’ll be so busy, don’t ask me why… none of your business!… Ha!), I’ll be desperately trying to enjoy myself. That probably won’t happen until turkey time (cue song again)… But that’s ok. I have a lot of people to see and I have to plan my fun in the sun! And play a lot of video games (which i’ve been aching to play so bad… at the moment I actually want video games more than women! can you imagine?? Someone please help me. I think I’ve gone craaaazaaaay.-download the eminem album to get the quote).

Jeez, rambling already. Anyhoo, catch ya later daddy-os.

BBT XP!

click to enlarge!Being asian just got a whole lot more complicated. With the current popularity of late night bubble tea starting to level off, new bubble tea spots needed to find something so trendy, that it would be able to take market share away from the other seven million bubble tea places by my house. Thought you knew how to order bubble tea? Think again! Now there’s a steep learning curve to getting your favorite fruity tasting drinks. And the only way to get better at it is through practice. Destiny Tea house introduces four-levels of ordering bubble tea! I wish I was joking. Whether you’re a beginner, intermediate, advanced or expert, you’ll need to learn the new codes and symbols to placing your order.

And despite the fact that I’ve had a couple thousand servings of bubble tea, my order yesterday would sadly be ranked as a beginner’s. Sigh. Next time, it’s 077 1++[1][2][4]/\. By the way, my review of the spot: the average patron age was probably 32. The oldest bubble tea crowd I’ve ever seen. I’m getting grey hairs just thinking about it. And the male:female ratio was 70:30. “nuff said.

Ah, I missed my dreamcast. I bought a new game. Officially the last game that will ever be made for my baby. And oh my goodness, it’s the greatest game. It’s totally awesome. Time to stuff my face with chips and dip and gain back that weight i lost. Bie!

Britney, you’re dirrrty.

Wow, I dreamt I jumped out of a moving car on the road for absolutely no reason (i think i thought to my self, “Hey, let’s jump out of this moving car”), totally smashed another car in the process, had to go and get a lot of shouting put in my ear, felt bad because I wouldn’t be able to drive again and then woke up. There’s nothing like that moment when you have that feeling for pure relief that your car is okay. For that one moment, I was as happy as I can get. Because, you know, I’m going home today and I’m going to drive around. And I guarantee that I won’t be jumping out of the car for any reason this weekend. I love my car. So pretty.

Get this: A New York radio station disc jockey has Justin Timberlake in the studio for an interview. He has a new solo single out which he’s promoting, although I think it’s one of the worst songs he could possibly make. Anyways…. So the DJ is pressing on Justin for some juicy gossip. So, have you ever performed oral sex on britney when you two were going out? But to the displeasure of all of the world, he wouldn’t answer the question. But then this is where you realize that a NYDJ has a power that no other on the planet has. He can make you popular. He makes this offer to Justin. If you answer this question, I’ll spin your new song THIRTY extra times this week. And when you’re the guy that’s trying to make it big without the support of Lance Bass and Joey Fatone, you gotta take your breaks where you can get them. So of course his response is, “Fine. Yes, I did it. Man, I’m in so much trouble now…”

Oooooooohhhhh yesssssss….. That’s the news of the century. Add to that, Britney’s love of lesbian porn (it’s true! she loves jenna jameson especially!) and her frequenting several strip clubs all across the world, and I think even doing some amateur nights (deet deet!). I think it’s becoming clear.

Britney is such a skank! Ahahahahahah! America can’t wait to buy your next porn video! Ahahahahaha! Pure gold! Although I don’t really like britney, a little britney porn never hurt nobody. So if you’re one of the few million that’s banging britney, make sure you videotape it and sell it on the internet! Instant millionaire, I’m telling you.

My world just doesn’t make sense to me anymore!

What did I tellz ya, Toe n’ Chikin!

My crazy diet is starting to catch up with me. My belly! It is growing at an alarming rate. Soon, my beer gut will have a beer gut, and my beer gut’s beer gut will look like it’s pregnant! I’m getting a little tubby around the edges. I’d better get back on that diet soon. Or at least eat something nutritious every once in a while.

Oh yeah, so I was listening to that new Eminem song from his 8-Mile movie, and I’m thinking about how I should download it when I get home and all that. The song ends and the radio station identification comes on. 102.1 the Edge (Toronto’s New Rock Alternative) the guy says, and I’m like wait a minute. Huh? I really didn’t understand. I actually thought I must be dreaming. Something just isn’t right in the universe. Before you know it, New Country will start to include Megadeth and EZ Rock will be Snoop Dogg rapping about hoes, bitches and doing girls in the butt.

You can’t explain everything in the world, and I don’t think I’m going to try. Bop Bop.
