Last Minute Mode

I'll be leaving for the airport around 3:45 AM (might as well not sleep...)I think we're getting a driver of sorts to get us to the airport. We'll then arrive in Florida and shuttle bus to the cruise boat. After the cruise finishes on Friday I'll be Florida-ing until the next Friday, Sept. 3.

Of course, I'll be missing school registration. :(
Another unfortunate thing is that it's going to be thunderstorming all week in the Bahamas. >:( Hopefully it'll turn out not as bad.

You should download this: RedXIII Redux. Awesome remix, tad too short.

See you in two weeks.

August Retreat

I'll be leaving on Monday for vacation for two weeks. The first week I'm going on a cruise to the Bahamas, and the second I'll be in Florida theme parks. Sounds fun, although it's depressing that as soon as I get back it's time for school.

The end is near! Wait, false alarm.

I just had this strange 15 minute blackout spell. Wasn't it like, only a day or two ago from this date last year when the major blackout occured? So we made sure it wasn't just our house for some reason, and it wasn't. The streetlights were off as well. I thought, "Whee, blackout." And took out candles. And then the power came back. So I put them away.

And then we carried on. Like it never happened. Spoooky.. >_>

Toss Hammer

I managed to beat Abyssion and the Exhibition Match without All-Divide...although I lost about 1.5 grade in each battle. *tear*

Yes, Collateral was pretty good. Although I shouldn't have correctly guessed the ending. I ruined it for myself.

Foreign Guffaw

Today I went and saw Lord of the Wu Tang starring Jet Li. Not your ordinary martial arts flim. The 1993 film was remade into a DVD in 2000 which had no menu. So it's more of like a VHS that runs in a DVD player. It came complete with white subtitles which could not be visible 20% of the time due to not having a border when placed over white backgrounds. The subtitles had a gratuitous amount of spelling and grammar errors, with such phrases like, "Women is cunning" or "Why did you assassinate me?". They also simplifed things with English slang, for example summarizing three separate insults into "Bitch". The fight scenes came included with many men flying on wires and were obviously fast-forwarded to make them seem more intense.

The story was rather inclement, with the absense of the 10 minute prologue left in the other versions. (This is the third episode of a series). It involved many rival martial arts clans, a martial arts monk embedded in a boulder, horrible jokes about morning erections, magic powder dubbed "Scent" which would take away your kung foo powers if inhaled and left untreated, and two particularly aroused men whose mission is to rape every woman they come upon. Wow.

To cap it all off the ending is a cliffhanger which just smacks you in the face and leaves you there confused. There was supposed to be a sequel, but due to spending too much on all the fight scenes (probably for the wiring) they gave up.

Thank you Wong Jing for that unforgettable experience.
