Beach Bride

Only group photo I've gotten so far with the groomfrom last Saturday, courtesy of Migs. Not surprisingly, Ferdie was on the phone about some last minute hitch (pun intended).

I also find it somewhat ironic that his wife shares the same name and even looks a bit like one teacher he had a disagreement with before.

Love Sick Puppy

This is the only way I can describe a zombie that followed me around in Urban Dead today, asking for a revive saying "mrh?" all the time from the cemetery instead of staying there. Finally I had to ask him to stay at one spot while I looked for a syringe to put him out of his misery - and fortunately I had enough action points to do both AND still get back to safety.

n00bs are so precious.

Abbreviated Volume

Just watched the last episode of the second volume of this show. My reactions: great cliffhangers with Nikki , Nathan and Adam. Now that they introduced the fact that anyone can be brought back from the dead and powers returned, what's permanent anymore? If they're trying to be more like the comics, they've succeeded in that respect.

One Website to List Them All

Again from my acquaintance one of the founders of yehey.com I got introduced to listverse.com which has a lot of - what else? - lists. So far I've sampled the top 10 ghost videos, the icredible recordings, manipulated photographs, English language oddities, coolest home science experiments, politically incorrect children's books, and I haven't found any reason not to keep returning.

Snappy Multiple Choice Answers to Questions

From the "chirping" of one of the developers of yehey.com who was a fellow member in an organization a few years ago, here's another browser based game - itself based on a computer game. For now I'm trying it out.

Express Yourself Fist Down Hard

The type I got from Office Warehouse over the weekend is better than this one, because the letters could be attached to each other instead of having to be stamped one by one.

Reminds me of that episode of The Simpsons where Bart put his sticker name on everything.

The Mouse Pokes Fun At Himself

Princess Giselle here looks like a young Nicole Kidman and acts just like a Disney Princess in our world. They could have used someone other than James Mardsen as Prince Edward, as his previous roles break the illusion of him being a Disney prince come to life.

Susan Sarandon has the voice for an Evil Stepmother, but not the appearance. I agree with what the critics say that Patrick Dempsey was a bit too old for the role, although is daughter in the film is precious. The songs were great.

I miss the Alan Menken compositions in Disney animated musicals. I have to wait two years for Rapunzel and three for The Princess and the Frog - although the second one seems to be scrapping the bottom of the barrel.
