Things my OESWT mix chewed...

1) sandals
2) empty soda cans
3) wicker baskets
4) flowers
5) paperback book
6) Arm & Hammer carpet powder cleaner box thingee (twice)
7) phone cord
8) plastic can of hot spicy candy (he drank a lot of water that day afterwards)
9) remote control

I can't say he is completely to blame because after all, we are letting him roam loose around the house when we sleep unattended. We never had this problem before with our first dog (the Akita Australian Shepperd mix) years ago when he was teething, because back then we actually kept him secured when we slept. Can't say we want to do the same with the new dog this time around, but signs point to yes. We'll see.

I just got back from an Asian Vegetarian restaurant and I had a great meal. In fact, I've always had a great experience at these types of restaurants, that I wonder why I don't come back often. Food's not bad people, we should go more often.

Also, I recently retrieved some of those videos that I accidentally deleted a couple months ago on my PC. Luckily, I sent those videos to somebody from youtube who requested them a while back, and upon hearing what happened, he recently returned the data DVDs to me. Pretty cool, and it's a relief to know that those videos are mine again.

movies I've seen recently...

Hot Fuzz (2007)  A-

What "Shaun of the Dead" did to zombie movies, "Hot Fuzz" now does to police action movies. The creative team is back; Writer / Director Edgar Wright, Writer / Actor Simon Pegg, and Actor Nick Frost, work their magic here once again. This movie is a spoof of police action movies like "Point Break" or "Bad Boys II," but at the same time it's not really a spoof but more like an homage to those genre of films. What we got here is a very enjoyably funny and exciting movie about Nicholas Angel, a hard boiled cop played by Edgar Wright who was reassigned to a rural village. Sargeant Angel finds that the seemingly tranquil village may have a serial killer, although the towns people don't believe him. He partners up with Danny Butterman, played by Nick Frost, who is a huge fan of the action cop movie genre. The two clearly are like oil and water, but then that's an essential part of a buddy cop film. Despite the familiar homages to the many action movies out there, a lot of originality has been put in how the plot twists progress. I have to admit that while I had my ideas on how the mystery was going to turn out, they were able to put their little spin on things to still make it surprising. I should mention that I was a little shock at how graphic some of the murder scenes are to what is essentially a lighthearted cop movie. Besides that concern, "Hot Fuzz" is such a fun movie to watch, and the huge action sequences in the end is just simply awesome.

Disturbia (2007)  B

Heavily influenced by the movie "Rear Window" by Alfred Hitchcock, "Disturbia" is more than just your typical teen suspense film. The story is of a teen stuck under house arrest, who is compelled to spy on his neighbors, which then brings him to believe that one of them could possibly be a serial killer. The fun of the movie does come with the "is he" or "isn't he" premise, as well as the "will he get caught spying" moments. Director D.J. Caruso does a great job in moving the story along at a good pace, keeping things interesting by juggling both the plot about the suspicious neighbor, as well as the relationship between the lead and the girl next door. It also helps that the particular girl next door is a very easy on men's eyes Sarah Roemer, who is cute, pretty, and hot all at the same time. Mentioning her, I can't forget to say that the leading men in Shia LaBeouf and David Morse are also undeniably really good in their roles. Shia LaBeouf in particular has a very promising future as a leading man. My only complaint is that the people in the movie really really need to learn how to use their curtains and blinds, especially if they are doing something that they don't want to get caught doing. They also opted for a convenient way for the story to get to it's final climax as well, which is a little disappointing. Overall though, "Disturbia" is a fun movie to watch that isn't too predictable or too unpredictable.

I went to the "Renaissance Faire" for the very first time recently. Through a client of my fiance, we were able to get free tickets to go, so I figured why not. Probably like most people, I already had a preconceived notion of what to expect from the ren-faire. Basically a lot of geeks and nerd types dressed in the times of King Arthur, talking in their best attempt of "old english speak." For the most part, that's all true, however there were a lot more "regular folks" in attendance than what I expected. Not only that, but there were also several pretty cute women there, which surprised me even more; especially the ones who were actually dressed up. I tell you from the point of view of an asian man, I found that cute asian girls dressed in renaissance clothes can be pretty hot. Ofcourse, there are those who use this event as an excuse to wear their "bikini armor" or dress up as "woodland creatures," which can be both freightening and titillating at the same time.

We spent roughly 4-5 hours at the faire, and I admit to enjoying it more than expected. We didn't see any of the shows however, except for a parade or two. The place is also bigger than I thought it would be, and there are apparantly a lot more people who actually goes to these things. I had the most fun playing the games they had, like knife throwing, archery, stone throwing, life size board games, and ye olde using an air cannon to shoot tennis balls at people. Yes, the faire isn't completely rooted in the renaissance era, as there are modern influences in the food they offer (coffee smootie anyone?) or the things they sell. Traditionally for some however, the large turkey leg is the thing to eat.

been busy, will update for this day later.

...and later... maybe not. I've already got Monday's random links all set for a copy and paste, but I think I'll skip a full post for this. Oh well, howabout I just say that I'm still addicted to Guitar Hero, and also check out the promotional prop for the upcoming The Simpsons movie.

One of the big questions this past week has been "what would make him do it? who or what is to blame?" In regards to the Virginia Tech massacre. My question to that line of questioning is "why can't he simply be some psycho who was mentally damaged and just wanted to kill people?!" Whenever these things happen, people are quick to jump into the why and the blame game. "Oh video games made him do it. No, it's violent movies and tv. Wait, it's gangsta rap music." People are just that desperate to think that it's as simple as blaming outside influences like those, to try and avoid another tragedy in the future. Nope, sorry, but you'll be and idiot and delusional to think it's that simple.
