Welcome to Golden Sushi Jimbo and Congrats to your upcoming high school graduation!
Ching: You don't have to borrow the cd from Jimbo. You can download "Phantom of the Opera's All I ask of you at WinMX. Try it, that is where I get most of my songs...I never had to buy any cds anymore. Although I do have the entire musical soundtrack for Phantom of the Opera. I love that musical. You should have told me...I could have burned you a copy and sent it to you today along with your gift.

Welcome to the group, Jimbo!
BTW, we got your graduation announcement in the mail today! Thanks for the picture, too! Congratulations!
Pahabol.. Do you have a tape or CD of "All I Ask of You" that I can borrow and burn (not burn as in fire, but burn as in copy)? Just curious.

I think I'm going to try and move my files from geocities over to goldensushi, maybe to try to get away from the stupid ads that show up all the time.
Anyway, for those of you who don't know me, I'm Jimbo, I'm 18, just graduating from High School...(Commencement is in 8 days!) and I'm one of Ching's Pinoy friends from Wichita, you could say, a friend of the family.

There are scenes in the new "Star Wars" movie, scenes conceived, written and played with fearful awkwardness or tension (as if the filmmakers themselves had never got past that wall of adolescent fear and ignorance) in which the light plays on Ms. Portman's exposed shoulders and Mr. Christensen's pouting mouth, where any kid in today's audience knows the code and what ought to be coming. But the movie never gets it on. Oh sure, these kids will marry at the close of the film (they have to -- we know they're destined to be parents to Luke and Leia), but their skins never close and wrestle. Somehow, in 2002, George Lucas is still a virgin, and he wants his audience in the same stricken state.
Hmm... What an interesting take on the movie..

April: I am sorry to hear about your situation. I would suggest that you confide with someone you can trust that way you won't feel as depressed. I think it is a great idea to get tested just to make sure that you didn't catch anything from your ex. It is always better to be cautious about things. Just hang in there...things will definitely be better because you did make the right decision to leave someone whom you couldn't trust.

k..im not really sad, more like very disappointed. LOUiEY is now my ex. oFFiciaLLy and definite. *sigh* he attempted to cheat on me wed nite. i had an iLL premonition of sum sort, but i cant believe what he'd done... or tried to. he actually rented a motel for him & his goddaughter's mom, JEN. she knew that i wouLdnt listen 2her unless i saw it with my own eyes. weLL, he was soo mad when i confronted him that he went aLL violent. to stop him from hitting anything - me, my car, or his - (we were in front of his house) i held on him like a claw. he would accidently hit me, but then he'd become worse and actually intentionally hit me. he told me the girl lured him there....to borrow money. i knew it wasnt true bec he couldnt face me, look me in the eye, and he smelled smoke. he never smoked...well, not that i now of. the biggest bad thing tho wus why at a motel. he never put me in a hotel. he offered her money for her bills etc. while i paid for most his bills. im not crying, im pass that, u guys. im not even angy. just confused and hurting from the bruises i received. i was soo dumb! i said sorry for kicking his ass too coz i dont belive anybody should do that to anybody. it felt good, and that's why maybe i feel so bad about it. its really over and i dont feel anything but numbness. i cant even tell my real friends yet... you guys know because i dont know u that well, and maybe you wont call me stupid. his family stood there while he threw his shoe at me. his friends covered for him and said he would never do that... he loves me daw. poeple ive helped so many times knew but didnt say anything until it was jen he tried to victimize. wow, nobody cares. inside i was screaming, someone help me...defend me...give me a hug...
im scared that he mite have done this before... u know i could catch a disease. im scheduling my appt as soon as i get my stuff from his room. i put all the pictures/clothes there, and i think i should take them with me. am i wrong about this? gosh, i screwed up big time. why do i feel as if ill be paying for this for a long while...thanx 4reading this.

Daf at the Movies:
Spiderman -- Tobey Maguire was brilliant - in Ciderhouse Rules. Not in S'man, where he made a reasonably compelling geek, but didn't manage to work in the wise-cracking aspect of his character very well. I just kept thinking "this is NOT Peter Parker". And KD as MJ - uh uh. The real (Stan Lee version) MJ is a saucy, vibrant woman. KD can't seem to get past high school sweetie-pie. Neve Campbell (Mmmm...) would've been way better. Plus, she's a REAL redhead... or at least a more convincing fake. All that being said, it WAS entertaining. Nice job updating the "Why I fight crime" story. And the special effects were cool - not so much believable as effective-in-transporting-us-to-comicbookland.
Mothman Prophecies -- Excellent drama. Edge of our seats (well, it was a drive-in, so not exactly) through the whole movie. Richard Gere was great, in a not-your-usual-Richard-Gere role. So was the female lead (not Deborah Messing, but the blonde cop, whose name I didn't catch). Not the kind of thing we would have ever picked to go see (double feature with Spidey), but a really thought-provoking film, exciting script, quality cast.
DVDs:
Seven Year Itch -- Way dated. Marilyn Monroe is NOT the star of this, but is excellent as a foil for the lead's (forget his name) flights of fancy. OTOH, the lead, reprising his Broadway role, continued to play to the cheap seats, and hammed it up way too much. And his wanderings into fantasyland, sort of a "Walter Mitty discovers sex" concept, were borderline inanity. Still, if you love all things Marilyn, there's some stuff to like.
The Producers -- Mel Brooks' best work, and one of his earliest. Especially nice because he hadn't discovered his "formula" yet, so he actually told a story, without stopping for asides or cheap laffs. Mostel and Wilder were brilliant, but the story was the real star. Ken Mars and Dick Shawn were a little over the top, but it added to the fun. Ching, if you're skipping Mel's stuff 'cos it's all so predictable, SEE this one. One of the funniest movies ever made. It is, however, a 60's movie, and not a 70's movie, so there's a lot of hopelessly outdated looks at sexual roles. They don't ruin the movie, though, and are surprisingly "reminiscent" of some scenes from Austin Powers.
It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World -- Hahahahaha! Great slapstick humor, filled with everyone-who-was-anyone in early 60's comedy - including, again, Dick Shawn. Spencer Tracy was great, Milton Berle (reminding me, oddly, of Jeff Goldblum), Mickey Rooney, Ethel Merman, Jonathon Winters, Phil Silvers - all brilliant. Cameos from stars like Jerry Lewis, the 3 Stooges, and Jim Backus add to the fun. This was the basis for last year's Rat Race (haven't seen yet). It's long, but definitely worth the time.

PIA, your blog is now fixed. I could not remember exactly how it was configured so it there might be some minor differences. I tried to restore it to its original state as best I could. Thankfully, this boo-boo was fixable. The blogger tags just got deleted was all. I just needed to put it back and configure the formatting. Feel free to play with the code, just be careful not to erase the blogger tags. They might look like jibberish, but they're there for a reason! And if you are worried that something might have gotten typed over and can't remember how to fix it, always hit cancel!

I will be offering domain hosting soon. I'm informing members first because once I launch the web design/development section of Golden Sushi the hosting prices will go up. Members still get their free hosting (http://www.goldensushi.net/~you); that will not change.. But if you want to upgrade to domain hosting (http://www.yourname.com), now is the time to do it!
For only $50/year you'll get the following:
- 30MB disk space
- 12GB
- UNLIMITED EMAIL ACCOUNTS
- FTP ACCESS, WEB UPLOAD UTILITY
- NO ADS, TECH-SUPPORT
- Just about everything you can imagine!
GeoCities charges $8.95/month plus a $15 set-up fee for less features. This truly is an excellent deal! I won't charge you any set-up fees or anything like that. If you've already got your own domain name, then all you will be responsible for is the $50/year (THAT'S ABOUT $4/month -- AT THIS RATE, YOU CAN'T AFFORD NOT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT) hosting fee. If I have to register your domain for you, it's an additional $20/year (or $30 for two years -- a $10 savings). Again, the rates will go up after the Golden Sushi hosting launches. This same offer will be $70/year without domain registration and $100/year with one year of domain registration (the rates are still very competitive, compared to other webhosts like GeoCities as you can see).. But I'm offering a deal to those who want get in on it before the hosting launch.
Interested parties please email me (webmaster@goldensushi.net) ASAP!

Ching, you'd love this scene I'm caught up into right now. Rafael's Bar is like the best kept secret in V-town, Vallejo, CA for those not hip to West Coast rap.
Yes, I have done my share of drinking, April. Joe, the Rafael's owner--a fine pinoy brother who is single BTW, keeps hooking all us up with shots of GOODNESS-KNOWS-WHAT. He also cooks kick-ass filipino and american food in his joint.
I LOVE WHAT I DO! I'm the in-house poet of the most happening scenes in all of Vallejo, I'm a founder of a touring spoken word group, I'm going to be a Reiki Master, and...and...and [*panting* running out of breath]. Oh, and my girl and I are back together again. She is soo sweet. I'm gonna kick myself if I ever hurt again.
I need to call up an attorney so I can I draw up a release form so that I can use Oprah's name for my book title. Since when poets could afford lawyers?
Speaking of Oprah, did you know she was on the cover of FORTUNE magazine? This is the woman I'm supposed to draw up legal papers for? [shivers in fright]
Ching, I will try to chat once I get another computer. I feel weird chatting at the public library computer center.
Monty Python is da bomb! I love the movie THE MEANING OF LIFE. "just one thin mint..."
Angelina Jolie is hot, but then again, I have this secret admiration for freaky, outspoken, weirdoes with amazing talent. Well, then again, her boobs aren't nothing to yawn about. :P' ' ' <---drooling
Someone called me "a giant freak" the other day. I told him, "I resent that! I only stand four foot eleven!"

OMIGOD! Not Spaceballs! Brian has tried to make me watch many of the titles on your list (yes, including Spaceballs, which is apparently one of his favorite movies -- I didn't say all movie buffs had taste -- no offense, Daf). About the only thing on that list that I would call a favorite of mine would be Robin Hood: Men in Tights. I've never seen most of them and to tell you honestly, they are not my to watch list. I can tell you this, though: Brian has seen all those movies on your list and he loves them all. What is it with you Americans? Just kidding!
posted by Ching @ 4:43 PM, ,
Don't feel bad, Ching - Kim didn't think much of History of the World either - or Spaceballs, or Young Frankenstein, or Blazing Saddles, or Men in Tights. Or Caddyshack, or Porky's, or Animal House. There's hope for her though, she liked Blues Brothers and A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum and The Holy Grail. I'm betting she'll like Mad Mad World and The Producers, too - I'll let you know.
We'll check out The Restoration, too.

Brian loves Monty Python! He actually made me watch "History of the World I" -- it was okay.. I liked it, but I don't think I enjoyed it as much as he did.. He can just watch that stuff over, and over, and over, and over again.
The Restoration is really good. You should rent it. I promise that you won't be disappointed. Brian wasn't.

I got to talking to my friend Eric about the new fashions in men's formal wear. and THIS is what he came up with.
Speaking of the 70's, Have you guys checked outDr. Chan and the amazing Chan Clan cartoon on the Boomerang network? What a cheezy spoof on chinese characters. Its a takeoff from Josie and the Pussycats and Scooby Doo. I am confused which of these cartoons came first?

Wishlist report:
Spent Mom's birthday check at Amazon. Here's the haul:
VHS
The Producers
The Seven-Year Itch
The Princess Bride
DVD
It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World
CD
Chick Corea and Return To Forever - Light As A Feather
Santana - Welcome
Santana - Festival
Medeski, Martin, and Wood - Combustication
Boz Scaggs - Boz Scaggs
Mountain - Greatest Hits
Except for Princess Bride and MM&W, these are all 70's or earlier. Not all have stood the test of time - Festival is not nearly as good as I remember, nor is the Mountain CD (which replaces two LPs, "Climbing" and "Nantucket Sleighride" that were swiped when I was in HIGH SCHOOL). However, "Welcome" is still brilliant, so is "Light As A Feather". Both are Latin flavored pop jazz at its' finest (take THAT, Supreme Beings of Leisure!) And Boz's best album is still his first - from back when they knew how to make a song interesting for 12 minutes. I'll review the movies after we watch 'em.

Aaah! I forgot my favorite (period piece or not) - "The Holy Grail"! Sad that MP never equaled that in their later work. I saw an interview - some of their best bits came out of budget necessities, including the coconuts (which begat the air-speed-of-a-fully-laden-swallow bit, which saved the bridgekeeper bit...).
Anyhow, I could have just edited my last post, but the Grail deserves its own space. Funniest damned thing I've ever seen.

Sorry - when I said AJ was "quite a screen presence", I was NOT just talking about her mommy parts. She is very powerful. Kim was disturbed by the movie, I think - eroticism and cruelty may be an effective combination, but also pretty discomforting.
Braveheart was good, but I liked Rob Roy better. Probably because Liam Neeson is just so awesome.
I'm not familiar with "The Restoration", and am more familiar with Downey's tabloid escapades than his movie work, though he did a brilliant portrayal of my brother-in-law's umfriend, or someone just like him, in "Home for the Holidays" (one of MY favorites).
Other cool period pieces: Fellini's Casanova, The Lion in Winter, A Man for All Seasons, King of Hearts, History of the World Part I...

JAY -- no kidding! Drew was really a crappy mom in that movie. I hated her character. She was soo stupid!
Chocolat is very, very good! I really enjoyed watching it. Of course, I had to convince Brian to rent it -- that was a total struggle. His reluctance was the main reason we didn't get to see it in theaters when it first came out. Got to see it on DVD eventually -- we ARE movie buffs after all. Brian admitted that he enjoyed it also afterwards. I had to tease him for giving me such a difficult time.
I think I liked Original Sin more than you did, Daf. I'm a big Angelina Jolie fan! And not just of her boobs. That's probably the difference. You got to see a lot of Antonio Banderas' ass in that movie! They got very, very naked.. I was totally surprised!
Our most recent rental was The House of Mirth, based on the Edith Wharton novel. I had to talk Brian really hard into renting that one. He hates period pieces. He only likes them if there's blood and gore. His favorite period pieces? Braveheart (which is everyone's favorite), The Patriot, Gladiator, and the like.. I think the only exception would be The Restoration which does not have blood and gore (unless you consider the plague factor). It's one of my favorite movies and I forced him to watch it. He protested quite a bit, but Robert Downey Jr.'s incredible acting ability made him change his mind.

DVD report:
Can't remember if I mentioned some of these before - apologies If I'm repeating myself...
Riding in Cars with Boys. Pure chick flick. Some heavy moments. Strange watching Drew Barrymore as a brunette. Wanted to like her character, but she WAS a really crappy mom. Also strange to see James Woods playing a more-or-less nice guy.
Chocolat. Way cool. Very nicely done dig at repressive society (played here by my beloved Catholic Church - but I'll get over it < g >), but ultimately a positive message, and the priest and the repressed count and the libertine chocolatière and the redeemed abused wife and the lonely repressed widow and the gypsy hunk all live happily ever after. Or something like that.
Original Sin. Tried hard to be steamy and suspenseful. Enough so to keep our interest, maybe. Angelina Jolie is quite a screen presence (speaking of wonderful boobs. KD doesn't really show hers, does she? If she does, I am SO there!)... Antonio Banderas wasn't bad, and ultimately, the plot twists were interesting. Not particularly great cinema, though.

It's really good. Kirsten Dunst looks better as a blonde, though. Her boobs are very nice. I thought Toby McGuire would suck.. He's actually not bad as Peter Parker. Good casting on Harry and his dad (Willem Dafoe) -- they look so much alike, you'd think they were father and son in real life. Willem Dafoe is great as The Green Goblin! It made me laugh. It make me cry. And the effects are great!

Geesh! The link is a dead end! Oh well, it was funny. Its a home video of two chinese teenage guys who I think were auditioning for a tv show in Hong Kong. Anyway they have this funny number lip synching to this fast paced song and both of them with no shirt on. I will try to find it on my computer temp files and maybe I can upload it for you couriosity seekers.

Actually, the page you linked was gone, so I (inquisitive mind and all) went to the top page. Top and center was a monkey, um, orally pleasuring himself. Farther down, a dog was humping a chicken. Also lots of photos of "mommy parts", if you will.
Not quite a porn site, more a collection of weirdness, but definitely out there.
Got my 5-years-with-the-firm clock today (cool, actually), so even if they boot me out, I get to keep the clock. Not quite as useful as a place to sleep, though.

Wednesday night I went to Tita Josie's 60th Birthday. Little did I know what they had in store for me. I was forcibly volunteered as one of the line dancers in the beginning of the party. Having only 30 minutes to practice didnt help at all. Its a good thing it was a country line dance routine. Whew! simple steps really, two steps to the right then three steps to the left all a long facing my partner (not Dot), then twisting the partner around as we both walk three steps faced left. Then two steps to the left then two to the right.Parner moves to her left. I move to my left. Go to the next partner. then the cycle begins again. I dont know the song but afterwards the DJ flipped the beat and switched over to NoDoubt's "Hella Good"! At this point all the girls in the line dance converged together and did another number and WOW was it a number. All that bumpin and grinding made it short of a lap dance. Real Spicy! The food I mean. The party was at AKBARS chique place in the CITY. I must say Tita Josie throws lavish parties which I will miss. Now shes about to retire and move home to the Philippines. When asks where she will stay she mentioned to me that she might stay in AKLAN for a few months. I never been there myself. Its my Lolo Mike's home province. Anyone been there?
