wonderfully pathetic argument

I guess this makes me a loser, but this argument, stemming from an article in the Korea Times about foreigners facing possible fines or deportation over a play, is just too good. There is one Korean-American, or so says her name, that has a major chip on her shoulder. She's up late at night, hitting the keyboard, entering comment after comment, sometimes to no replies, and dominating the conversation. Unfortunately, what she is saying isn't all that on. She rambles off-topic trying to bring it misunderstood progressive arguments from the states. It's funny, though I feel a little debased from reading it. Have a go at it yrself:

Friggin Brilliant

This morning, after voraciously eating cheese crust pizza and opening my laptop I stumbled upon a link for a video of an Ipod in a blender. I couldn't resist, since I would never put my Ipod in a blender, but am still amused by such frivolous displays of lunacy. It was beautiful:

I recommend watching it; but I deeply recommend going further to

www.willitblend.com

to see what they do put in a blender. Cell phones, oysters, tilapia, hockey pucks, chicken. Most of it blends because the blender they use is a 1500 watt monster they sell for 400$ on a linked site. The advertising is brilliant; I want one. If I need a blender I know which one I'm going to buy. I'm going to the buy the one that enables me to blend my computer if it pisses me off, or possibly the self-help books I found in this apartment. Reviews on different websites having customers praising its blending virtues, though good as they be can never touch the marketing genius of willitblend.com

Reading the comments at the bottom of the page brought me to yet another interesting site dealing with ipods. www.smashmyipod.com Here, a few bored Canadians fish for people to sponsor their smashing of ipods on video. One video shows them buying a new ipod at the Apple store and then nonchalantly smashing it at the counter. They're escorted off the property and banned from the mall for a year. Pretty good, and if yr into Chuck Norris there's a link to a page of roundhouse related humor. Here's one: "The grass is always greener on the other side, unless Chuck Norris has been there. In that case the grass is most likely soaked in blood and tears."

Updated Map

So, If you look at the bottom of this page, you will now see that greatest form of traveler's masturbation--the map of countries I've been to or lived in--updated. Look at my expanded international coverage! How traveled I must seem. Maybe someday it will look as if the Soviet Union won the cold war. One can only hope.

Traci's big video debut

Here are a few short movies, starring Traci. I think she shows excellent promise as an action-adventure star. Leave a comment; tell me what you think; write a petition to Hollywood and tell them you've found the next Sigourney Weaver.
