Here is what I was talking about in my last post... happy couple... awww.. 

Michael Moore

Did some channel surfing tonight, and that was then I ran into “the Late Night Show with Davis Letterman”. Tonight’s guests are Michael Moore (a documentary film director), and 2004 Miss Universe (some Aussie chick who is supposedly super cute… duh). I thought: OK, do I need to sit through an over-weight director of documentary films (did I mention DOCUMENTARY films?!) to get to some eye candy? As I was bitching about my back luck (and cursing at CBS at the same time), Michael Moore had already started talking to Letterman. It turned out, it was a fascinating conversation about a highly controversial film (directed my Moore, of course) “Fahrenheit 9/11”. This was the film actually won at the Cannes Film Festival (those crazy French… just when I thought they couldn’t possibly piss off Americans even more, they have out-done themselves… again!), and will be shown in theaters on June 25th. It is a film about how Bush family has been buddies with bin Laden folks for years and the tie between Bushes and the Saudi Royal family. Needless to say, I will be in line to watch this thing. Two things impressed me the most: This guy can actually make such a movie while Bush is still in the white house; and of course the very fact that Bush can do nothing to stop this movie from being released! I tip my hat to America on this one! (By the way, the ensuing interview with Miss Universe was pretty lame; Michael Moore was ten million times more interesting.)

thoughts on this weekend

It is that time of the year again - father’s day! We are being bombarded with gazillions of commercials, flyers, banners, video ad on numerous web sites (damn, it always kills my dial-up connection at home)... you name it. I have always despised the commercialization of holidays (mother's day, father's day, Halloween, and the worst of them all - Valentine's day), but I have decided to pick up a gift for my old man (my dad is 60-year-young) this year just as last year (and the year before, and the year before that...). What is wrong with this self-contradicting madness? Well, part of me thinks the commercialization of these holidays has greatly cheapened the most sacred sentiment of human being (AKA “love”); on the other hand, my parents will probably kill me if I don’t get a present (OK, they won’t, but I might kill myself when their friends tell them how great their kids are with these lavish “father’s day gifts”). To sum it up, I give nod to matter over mind, since no one really gives a crap about what I think. Okie, better get busy shopping for gifts now… watch out for another tie, dad!

yahoo 很牛X

今天打开雅虎的信箱，哗！居然有2G的容量！ 以为看花了眼， 最后发现没错。 看来雅虎为了和google的G-mail竞争， 真是豁出去了。我自然没什么好抱怨的！ 比雅虎还要牛X的是底特律活塞队， 今晚上把号称“O('Neal)K(obe)组合“，“四大天王“， "F4"的湖人队打得溃不成军。 I have heard rumors about Kobe and Yao Ming coming to Warriors next season, so I am hanging on to my slim hope... that Warriors will rise from the ashes and make me proud (ehh -- I need to check what I have been smoking in the past hour)...

Mad man from Chu is online for the first time in 2004... Well, sort of, since I didn't do too many postings in the past year... blame my lazy (and pretty) behind. Mark this date: 2004/06/14, to quote our governor (AKA Gropenator): "I will be BACK!"
