I am watching the Friends finale and I noticed that Ross Gellar has the same Siemens 2.4 GHz wireless phone / answering machine as I do at home. Yay for us!

My friend LG sent this eBay Auction Item to me for entertainment purposes. I guess the way to really sell a crappy item is to ridicule it and make a mockery of the entire affaire. Nevertheless, I was humoured for the moments I was engaged in the author's words.

I made the realization a few months ago that I am absolutely disappointed at the level of my Chinese. There aren't many things missing in my life, but this seems to be one of them. After so many years of classes and tutelage, why is it I can't read simple common words anymore? Sure, like many CBAs (Canadian Born Asians), we've been assimilated into a Western culture and traded up our Chinese heritage. Realistically, it's because I haven't put in the time in the last 8 years to retain what I've crammed in the 15 years before that. It's hard not to be disgusted with myself when I try to write a simple note in Chinese. 幹, 媽的.

Here's a neat little video clip: Building an [AirBus] A340-600.

A while ago, I was out with a couple highschool buddies reminiscing on the highschool years, highschool friends, highschool foes, and highschool hoes. I was told that one particular girl, Kasey Campbell, who was a dancer back in highschool, started stripping and stuff. Then joined the Pussycat Dolls (she might be in Charlie's Angel 2: Full Throttle). She's now (reportedly) doing porn.

Anyway, here're some pics that may be of her...

Probably the one on the left
Far too much make-up perhaps

Of course, these can be completely off, and may be another blonde Kasey Campbell with the same name.

Ever notice how many people say "Vang-couver" instead of "Vancouver"? It's usually the locals too. Keep your ears open.

For some reason, I had The Beatles "Yellow Submarine" stuck in my head. I decided to go online to see what the lyrics were, because they seemed odd. Sure enough, it's about them living in a yellow submarine. These guys must have been stoned off their butts to be writing about living in a yellow submarine.

"We all live in a yellow submarine,
yellow submarine, yellow submarine"

NO YOU DON'T!! They should be living in a short yellow school bus, that's where they should be.

I was playing Texas Hold'em poker on Yahoo! Games last night, and I had a couple of girls from Hawaii at my table (from different islands). One of them, from Ewa, had met American Idol's Jasmine Trias before in Mililani when visiting a friend of hers there. That girl also said that Jasmine dissed her brother's school (Campbell High) on the radio. Something about "... that's why I would never go to Campbell". Anyway, this girl from Ewa was immature, but I'm sure she wasn't lying. Interesting encounters at 3:30am.

What's the motivation behind naming one's son after the father? William Jr., for example. Is it the case of poor imagination or do people WANT to have their son(s) owning the same name? Perhaps it's historical, dating back to the Monarchy when kings and queens loved to hear their own names. That doesn't seem to apply in this modern era, and only sons will get their fathers' names (as opposed to daughters getting their mothers'). Besides that, the Jr./Sr. thing adds another level of confusion and complexity to distinguish between father and son (say for phone calls). Anyway, just a thought.
