On February 19, Lydia "Fei-fei" Shum died. She was one of the few Chinese actresses that I actually recognized. She was a familiar face and seemed to be in show business forever. This past week the Chinese networks have been showing her musical-comedy specials. Today I watched some of her memorial. I cried. The outpouring of sentiment and memories ( Read more... )

DLM wasn't making me happy, instead I was falling asleep. So I switched to Firefly to keep me awake.

Nothing good was on TV for the past two nights, so I popped in my DVDs of "The Tick" live-action television series. Man, that show was great! It's too bad it never found its audience. The show was very funny and I thought Patrick Warburton (he played Puddy on "Seinfeld") was almost masterful as The Tick ( Read more... )

Part 1: For the past two nights, I've had weird, somewhat-disturbing, somewhat-unsettling dreams. ( Dreams, annoyances, possible causes )

So, this morning I'm watching Voltron before I go to bed. Sven is going toe to toe with Haggar the witch. She does some magic thing where there are copies of her. To figure out the right witch, Sven gets all mystical, closes his eyes and does some martial arts move. (Right after, he gets bitch-slapped by a robeast.) And then it dawned on me... Sven ( Read more... )

On 2/12, I talked about watching some DLM season 2. A few days after that, I finished watching the rest of the season, and also watched the behind-the-scenes commentary. I think they hit their stride in season 2. It was very enjoyable. It's too bad they canceled the show after that ( Read more... )

Just having watched a couple NASCAR races, I find myself tailgating cars on the freeway.

Yeah, still up. Finishing laundry. Anyway, Saturday I didn't leave the house. I watched some NASCAR. The Toyotas came in 11th and 19th. Not great, but at least they finished. The cars need some major reworking. I then also watched most of Dead Like Me season 2. The second grandma episode almost made me cry. It's a great series. I'm watching it now ( Read more... )

First race of the 2007 NASCAR season is tomorrow at 5 p.m. Pacific time. I'm kinda excited. I've never watched NASCAR before, but I'm really curious because this is the first year that Toyota is in it. NASCAR hasn't had a non-American car company race in a long time. Toyota'll be racing a Camry body, and the current line of Camrys are hot shit. It' ( Read more... )

So far I have three packages way late. Both should have shown up last week or even earlier. One was from Hong Kong. Another is from DDD (my season 2 box set of Dead Like Me). The third is my Company of Heroes game (which is delayed with USPS). Somehow my other packages are not getting to me. I loathe to think that someone is stealing packages from ( Read more... )
