Tuesday, February 04, 2025 Congratulations to Ke Huy Quan for getting his Hand Print ceremony - he has "cemented" his claim as a bona fide celebrity. This is as newsworthy as it gets for this year so far in what has been lackluster. Also - "The Goonies" reunion with key castmembers attending. Had to save this image for posterity. While a sequel has been ruled out, ya know the saying - "Goonies Never Say 'There'll Never Be A Sequel!' " haha. 
Monday, February 03, 2025 I created a Fandango account just to rent / watch "Didi". But I'll keep it around a bit longer - if available, I plan to rent Ke Huy Quan's new action film. As a parent or someone who has and is showing signs of Autism symptoms, it's been challenging for me to deal with the tantrums and the crying. If there is any common bond amongst human beings, it's being a parent. And parenting well and to ensure your children are taken care of well (especially during the trying times) has been a challenge. Rick Lee expressed it well - "Decking the teachers". That sheeet is hilarious. He must've seen the Cobra Kai S2 School Fight when some of the Cobra Kai students knocked out a faculty member. Ah - the perks of being a high school teacher haha. Hell no. "Quang Tran Mon - ye be lookin' for a goood Chef Loa, me Bwomsamdi can help ya. For a per-AIIII-eeece" (only WoW BFA players would know the reference hahaha). Sunday, February 02, 2025 The question I've been pondering for awhile since subbing to Fred Liu, is - how did you accumulate over 700K subscribers in just a few years? This fascination, and the fact he is just a down-to-earth, chill or easy going guy is why I subscribed (which is lacking on Youtube and social media in general). Heavily-weighted Bonus points for being Asian. Again - Happy Lunar New Years! Simu Liu's involvement in an animated short for this Lunar New Years was cute. Winter wonderland finally is here. After what has been a pleasant, dry January, I suppose we were due for a snow event. Hopefully, it'll ease up. With winters getting colder, summers getting hotter, and air travel becoming less safe (really - Air travel and Medicine are the only two areas where they should be treated as "more than just a job" - people's lives are at stake. It should be taken as seriously as your own livelihood), we are living in dire times. Wednesday, January 29, 2025 Of course - Happy Lunar New Year's! The Year Of The Snake - unless you "hate snakes", hate "snakes on a plane", or laugh at the Home Alone 'Snakes' who pumped the guy full of lead over 10% thanks to A.C. haha. I think K. 533 (in particular, the first movement) characterizes the composer quite well. The first movement - very playful, a bit mischievous, light and bouncy. The bass melody echos the right hand throughout the movement as in a playful quarrel or conversation / dialogue. On paper - the music doesn't seem or appear complex. But when you have to pay attention to details, there are a lot of subtle nuances or jumps that make a world of difference in how it sounds and played. Tuesday, January 28, 2025 'O'Henry m'lad', more like Oh! not again Henry (fiendish leprechaun laugh - hahah). Dude is not just a simp, but a wimp. Turn dat Fat into Abs. Kidding aside, he took a lo' blo' near the liver or by the liver. While C-Mac took it to the gut. But c'mon, it wasn't that hard of a punch. Otherwise, the native would've been DQ'ed in competition. Not surprised Steffie Bay-eeeek was laughed at - "I can be your best wing man!". A terribad pick up or advice line like dat, it makes the snooty "I weep for the future" restauranteur at Chez pierre Whoever sound heavenly. Sung Kang and car culture. His GQ Taiwan interview shed a lot of light on what are passion projects, and not just about building cars. Inspiring. Monday, January 27, 2025 New creative content - the "Mis-Adventures" of C-Mac Raymond Yu haha. I would not have gotten in the car, you could have walked faster and made the meeting instead of waiting in that stand-still of a traffic mess. I cannot imagine tolerating just sitting like that, otherwise might have this been scripted. Scam artists and gangstas (especially sketchy ones) are all over the world. Bettah to get the weed hookup with Harold & Kumar instead haha (Kumar Patel has the connections after flunking his med school interview). C-Mac got ripped off, but I could've a sworn the dude showed his "piece" in a sign of a "threat" to get away or eat lead. While these videos are informative (not sure how much are scripted or not), the only downside is that it'll might turn off anyone from visiting the country. I found some David So's old standup. Fat jokes galore: "Y'all still laughing at my face?!" (well, sort of even today haha). "You Asian beeches reject us even before we get a chance to say anything" (relatable - hard knock life of the Asian Guy). Page 2 |
