tC is for total CUCKOO

finally something i will be paying for myself. i will definitely be missing the hum of my 98 corolla, and will forever remember and cherish the memories of all the good, bad, and stupid things i've done with it.

phallic, eh?

i watched mr. bean's holiday a few weeks ago and was reminded why bean was one of my favorite shows when i was little. if you did not like the first mr. bean movie, like myself, check this one out. i went to see this one expecting another awful movie like the first, but left the theater satisfied and still laughing at the scene where he got stuck inside a wooden hut.

and then, a few days ago, chang sent me johnny english. i remember watching this movie and was not too impressed by it, but re-watching it made it so much better, especially after i had forgotten most of what's going on in that movie, even the fact that natalie imbruglia was in it and that she was awfully beautiful.

one thing i've been paying close attention to lately, is movie soundtrack. johnny english surprisingly had a pretty good soundtrack, but among the seven songs that i like from the soundtrack album, the two that are worth mentioning are the following:

1. robbie williams - man for all seasons
(download)
(lyrics)

2. abba - does your mother know
(download)
(lyrics)

read the lyrics, you might find them as amusing as i did.

robbie williams included two sexual innuendo in the lyrics: one was very obvious, "Send the villains to Hades, a hit with the ladies, // a stallion, in the sack." but the other was one subtle enough that i didn't notice until i paid careful attention, "So charismatic, with an automatic, // never prematurely shooting his load."

and then imagine rowan atkinson having the attributes described above. the thought gave me a splitting headache.

abba's song isn't a lot less disturbing. check out the lyrics and tell me if you also think it's talking about a horny underaged girl flirting with older men. i was at panera eating my french onion soup with this song playing in my ipod when the verse "I can read in your face that your feelings are driving you wild" came around and made me smirk a little. then the next line came around "Ah, but girl you're only a child" and i almost spat out my soup at an old couple sitting across from me.

i don't know if i should be amused or disturbed.

iGoo

whoever thought up personalized google page has got to win an award of some sorts.

not only it comes with useful stuff that you can stick on one page, it's also TABBED, which is probably the greatest thing ever since microwaves with cooking time preset on the keypad and an "add 30 seconds" button. the useful stuff are actually useful, even if i never use them, but the most amusing part of it is the random quotes i get everyday.

the following is some of the best, most amusing quotes i've ever got on my google page.

An adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered. An inconvenience is only an adventure wrongly considered.
~ G. K. Chesterton

Communism doesn't work because people like to own stuff.
~ Frank Zappa

When a thing has been said and well, have no scruple. Take it and copy it.
~ Anatole France

I want to find a voracious, small-minded predator and name it after the IRS.
~ Robert Bakker

I hate mankind, for I think myself one of the best of them, and I know how bad I am.
~ Joseph Baretti

There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.
~ Benjamin Disraeli


i vote google for internet domination. if they haven't done it already.

noodle splash

i went to eat at mitsuwa with stephanie yesterday and ordered a cold udon with salmon egg and baked salmon. i received the receipt and proceeded to an empty table. i sat down and looked at my receipt.



i ordered WHAT?!

you see, i know the word "bukkake" for the meaning they use in japanese porn films. i never knew that bukkake was originally a way to prepare noodles, and not what crossed my mind when i saw that word on my receipt.

from wikipedia:
The word bukkake is often used in Japanese to describe pouring out water (or other liquids) with sufficient momentum to cause splashing or spilling. Indeed, bukkake is used in Japan to describe a type of dish where the toppings are poured on top of noodles, as in bukkake-udon and bukkake-soba.

i wished i had known THAT before i learned about the bukkake you see when you type that word in google images. i forever blame the internet for this.
