Lost Season 6, LA X Parts 1 and 2. Was it worth the wait?

February 3, 2010

I would write a recap but since nobody reads this blog I won’t bother.

I really enjoyed it even though I find the sideways-flashes a bit uninspired. STILL …I’m glad we’re getting answers.

We had a great lost discussion in the LOST circle on Jumpino leading up to the premiere.

Other than that, my month-long vegetarian diet is going great, although I seem to be lacking zinc and suffering some side effects. But maybe it’s not related – but I’m still taking a multivitamin. I forgot to mention earlier, I’m also giving up soda for the month, and probably forever. I’ve already been soda-free for a while.

To watch the video I got these from, just go to http://abc.go.com/shows/lost click “More Video” and select the second video. It is titled No more questions … only answers!
I have not watched the leaked Episode 1 … I’m not that desperate to see it. It will be fun to watch it in its full HD glory. It seems most people agree with me.

My favorite place to eat in Dana Point

January 30, 2010

is definitely Thai Dara. I’ve had alot of Thai food in my life and this really tops it all. Everyone I take here really loves the entrees. The prices are also pretty low ranging from $7 to $14 for main dishes.

Thai Dara

This also worked great with my 30-day vegetarian diet since they offer almost everything in a vegetarian version.

Day 1/30 of Eating Vegetarian

January 29, 2010

I decided my first 30-day challenge is going to be eating vegetarian. This is quite easy for me, since I don’t particularly like the taste of meat. Today was pretty simple just had some oats and a salad when I went out. The sad thing about eating vegetarian is all the cute little plants I will devour. See above image.

Taking life 30 days at a time

January 28, 2010

I think the 30-day money back guarantee can be applied to alot more than just shopping. It can be applied to things like goals and resolutions. Try something for 30 days, then evaluate if it helped you, how hard it was, and if you want to keep doing it. SOOOO here are the things I will attempt this year for 30 days. I even created a fancy artsy graphic for it :]

1. Draw every day for a month. It’s good for me.

2. Eat like a vegetarian for a month. This will be quite easy since I avoid meat normally. (My taste buds do not want!!) I want to see what it’s like to completely cut meat out, for a month.

3. Wake up at 7 every day for a month. This is arguably the most challenging 30-day resolution since I’m lazy and terrible at this. BUT, I feel good when I do it. So maybe I can get in the habit for 30 days? I’m also pretty sure I have some sort of sleep disorder, known as LAZY.

4. Freeze discretionary spending! Cut out the pork! (and jewelry) Screw the lobbyists! (and new credit card offers) Only spend money on food and other absolutely necessary expenditures (medicine, water, etc). I think I can pull this off if its during a month where nobody has a birthday!

5. No more soda. This might as well be a yearlong thing. I’m pretty sure I’m ready to cut soda out of my life permanently. Me and Dr. Pepper are going our separate ways. Don’t be sads. All good things come to an end.

Is there anything else I should try for 30 days?  Will update with new ideas and when I’m starting this stuff.

Being a Teenager and Self-Piercing

January 23, 2010

I grew up in America and there seemed to be an age where everyone was poking themselves left and right. When I was younger, it was all about bellybuttons and earlobes. I think most needle-pierced earlobes come out alright (better than the gun) but all those teenage bellybutton rings were disastrous . As we got older, we’d dare each other to do more wacky stuff like liprings. Anyway, a couple years ago in a psychology course, I remember a discussion about how most cultures have a “coming of age” ritual for yougsters that generally comes at the age of 13-16. We read about walkabouts, ceremonial piercings and tattoos, bar mitzvahs … etc. And I was thinking, maybe we have self-piercing in our culture as a coming of age thing too. It has some of the same elements as other cultures. It’s daring, slightly traumatizing, exciting, sometimes permanent changes. The only thing missing is that the adults in our culture don’t guide the teens through it. Anyway, just food for thought.

PS – I think teenagers piercings themselves or their friends is generally a pretty stupid thing to do, but it still happens. I don’t condone it.

PSS – Another thing to think about is the originators of piercings, which I assume are tribal nations. I’m sure they basically self pierced or pierced each other as there were no professionals in those days.

Heidi Montag Gets a New Face, Should Work on Singing

January 22, 2010

Let me start with this: I used to hate my nose. I used to hate my cheeks. I used to think about doing this to myself, but I grew out of it. Somewhere along the line, I snapped out of it. But I guess some people don’t, and they get on reality shows, they make tons of money, and then they actually go through with it. Enter, Heidi Montag:

Is Heidi obsessed? She herself claims that she is – obsessed with the science of plastic surgery. (I’m paraphrasing) To be honest, she does look better. I think people are giving her a hard time because she’s Heidi, she’s a notorious attention seeker and all of us are guilty for giving her attention. She is still swollen according to her doctor, and her face is still fragile. I personally think that the end result will be much better than the recent pics shown on Perez and TMZ, as well as the spread in People. She looks very swollen. Her lower jaw is drastically larger than it was before – and she had no work done there. Her face will thin out and end up looking better. I think her 2nd nosejob was an improvement, but I don’t really like huge boobs like what she has now.

At the end of the day, everyone has a right to modify their body. I don’t think she’s mentally ill as some people have implied but perhaps just a little too obsessed and vain.

What about Heidi Montag’s music? Some people have speculated she had orchestrated this whole thing to create a media frenzy around her new album, Superficial. I’ve listened to the entire album and honestly the only good song is called “Blackout” it sounds like something that would be tacked on to a Britney Spears album at the last minute. (Ironically it has the same name as one of Britney’s albums) Blackout is catchy, has a nice rhythm, and has actual singing. The rest of the songs do not. In fact, most of them seem to have the same beat, and they start about the same with the same dance techno screeches. Unfortunately for Heidi, she didn’t make Blackout her leading single. She started it off with Superficial, which is a tedious song with painfully bad lyrics. Then came “Fanatic”, which Perez liked, but I can barely listen to. Her 3rd single is Twisted, which sounds alot like Superficial, which sounds alot like everything else on the album. The only other reedeemable song on the album is “More is more” which isn’t good, but gets a bit of credit for it’s ABBA sound and inspiration.

You know what’s weird about the song Blackout? Taylor Momsen participated in the writing of this song. A 16 year old half-wit actress who is still confused about what to do with eyeliner and her identity wrote the best song on Heidi Montag’s Album. Heidi didn’t write any of it, even though most of it sounds like she did. Regardless, she picked these songs and it’s entirely her mistake this album is so terrible. Here’s my 2 cents: Release Blackout before everyone discounts your album. Blackout could be the hit Heidi has been waiting for.

“Flowers are Dull” (2003)

January 16, 2010

So I guess I was 13 when I made this, and I called it Flowers are Dull. Let’s just say I was a bit “Different” at that age.
