Random Back to School Post

Well, looks like this is the last chance to post something before school starts, at which time I'll probably be too busy to post, and I didn't want to have a zero post month, cause that's just disgraceful. So here's a random slew of thoughts...

I got my TIMETABLE today. It's pretty crappy. Essentially, I have bio and chem 1st term (along with some random pointless classes that doesn't give out homework...), and English, Math, Social Studies, and Physics 2nd term. To make it even worse, bio isn't even Pre-AP, so it's really unbalanced. I'll probably need to get a lot of the classes switched around and add on French. Actually, just from looking at this, it looks like I'll need to change my entire 1st term, which is a relief, because if I don't, 2nd term is going to be hell. Unfortunately (or fortunately, I can't decide), I probably need to give up on English and Social Studies AP and just take normal for those, it kind of sucks, but oh well, I wasn't planning to take those AP in grade 12 anyways so no big loss. Although, I heard the Social AP teacher is cool...So yeah, my first draft timetable is so dumb, it's not even worth being considered as a real version, I'll probably get a better one sometime next week.

Back to school means no more staying up until 11 on Tuesdays to watch HOUSE M.D.. Which sucks. It is a really great show. House is probably the best show on tv nowadays. It's funny when you want it to be but also got enough drama for a prime-timer. Finally Fox comes up with a great show(no offense to the Simpsons, but I gotta say House is the better show, now that the Simpsons have grown a bit repetitive, which only to be expected after so many years, but House is new and fresh), too bad it's on Tuesdays. I gotta recommend that if you can, try to catch it. I know it's hard to imagine anyone who was in Stuart Little to be sarcastic and witty, but Hugh Laurie really pulled it off. Some of his lines are absolute gold that not even the great Horatio from CSI Miami can match: "You want a better anagram for Gregory House: huge ego, sorry."

Stumbled across this ramdom, but damned funny website a while back http://www.eviloverlord.com/lists/overlord.html. It's like the most complete check list for EVIL SUPERVILLAIN hopefuls. I just could not stop laughing when I was reading this. My favourite is probably, "The artifact which is the source of my power will not be kept on the Mountain of Despair beyond the River of Fire guarded by the Dragons of Eternity. It will be in my safe-deposit box. The same applies to the object which is my one weakness", or "I will be neither chivalrous nor sporting; I will use my superweapon of mass destruction as early and as often as possible", or "I will not tell my Legions of Terror 'And he must be taken alive!' The command will be 'And try to take him alive if it is reasonably practical.'" I think honestly every single cliche has been covered. I have to say, the "I will not turn into a snake, it never helps" one is a bit strange to me, I've racked my brains but still can't remember who turned into a snake! Great list though, the full list is now over 200 items long, just great. Ever since I read the list, I can't watch a movie or read a book without going back to it and thinking "uh oh, mistake number 24", or something along that lines.

Wasn't until I got to school today for registration that I realised just how many people had watched HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX. It was really a shock, most people who weren't even fans of the franchise went to see it, and predictably, many people thought it sucked! And I just have one question: WHY?! Why would you go see it, especially after Prisoner of Azkaban and Goblet of Fire? The Philosopher's Stone and the Chamber of Secrets were alright, (even if Harry was a moron in the ending of the 2nd movie "Let's hope Mr.Potter will always be around to save the day." "Don't worry, I will be." WTF is that? And the "There is no Hogwarts without you, Hagrid." line almost made me vomit), but PoA and GoF were crap. PoA stunk less but had the "He was their friend!" laughably feeble attempt at a rant,


Note: I realise it's a parody, but they have the real scene at the beginning and I couldn't find a better video.

so was passable at least until the half-way point. But GoF??? Pure, unfiltered crap! Where do I begin? There's the "You're father's vile and cruel and you're just pathetic" insult. (seriously, THAT's the best he can do? and who the hell would be insulted by that? I mean, even the book had a decent attempt at a yomama joke...) Then there's Dumbledore, who looses out on the academy award for Most Pissed Of to Hermione, who was apparently PMSing or something... That's not to mention the crowd surfing scene, I didn't know whether to laugh or puke at that point. So after the series that gave us such gemss in film making, why would ANYONE who isn't sleeping with a Harry Potter bedsheet and a Harry Potter action figure actually go see the newest movie? From what I've heard and seen in the trailer, it's just another in a long line of extremely quotable films. ("Who are YOU, and what have you DONE with Hermione Granger"? that's the crappiest version of the line I have ever heard, regardless of the context)


Anyways, eventough I promised no more NBA posts until October, I never imagined that there would be so much news in the association in the off season. Talk about the BOSTON CELTICS. How good are they going to be? I can't really say yet, but right now, they probably have one of the league's top trios in KG-Pierce-Allen, the only trios I can think of who can match this would be Phoenix's Nash-Matrix-Amare and MAYBE SA's Duncan-TP-Ginobli. I won't go so far to say that they'll go to the finals yet, but they definitely have a chance. I just wish I was still on the east coast so I can see more of Boston, they figure to be one of if not THE most interesting teams in the league. One quick note about the Toronto Raptors: I hope they trade T.J. Ford soon. He arguably was at his peak value last seaon, and Toronto should cash in quick as he has an injury history. Also, even after last season's success, I still feel that Jose Calderon is the better point guard for the Raptors; he just really seems to me like a Steve Nash clone(ok ok, that's a HUGE exageration) and plays better defense than Ford while costing the Raptors less. Sooner or later I think Toronto is going to need a bona fide primary point man who plays more than 30 minutes, I just rather that point be Calderon and not Ford, though I conceed I might be in the minority...

Anyways, that's it for now folks...

Hurray It's Summer! [/sarcasm]

Woohoo it's Friday the 13th...
Anyways, yesterday I watched Portugal vs. Chile, it was hilarious. First, Chile scores a fluke. I mean the goalie was trying to get something called, he didn't even move. But no one cares about the scoring, it was one of the most bizzare endings I've seen in my life in football.

Look at the ref's face!
Edit: Forgot to mention
Vidal, the goalscorer, gets a second yellow in stoppage time for time wasting meaning a one game suspension

And then a few weeks back, I saw "So You Think You Can Dance"...
There was this guy on called Jesus (Pronounced "Hey-Zeus")


Something that may be very disturbing:
I don't know if he got through into the Top 20 but he made it into the Top 35.
How is this a talent?!

Look at David Hasselhoff.. lolz If he wins..

How is this less talented than Boy Shakira?:


So sport thoughts:
Baseball: R. Sox are doing great, NYY won't catch up.. I hate baseball
Football: No freakin' way Chile or US will win.. my $ on spain
Hockey:Without Priessing, Sens will do a lot crappier
I wanna see Hamilton get a team
Crappy trades going on
Basketball: Too Lazy
F1: L. Hamilton is overrated.. Massa/Kubiken = Raw Talent

And now...

Happy Belated New Year

I would have posted sooner, but I didn't have internet for 3 weeks! (so this is what drug users go through...) But hey, at least I got some material for our readers this time. (a.k.a. Yuxuan, boyang, adam, and I)

Alright, so I only got my internet today, last night I was watching TV from 3 to 11. Caught two great shows back to back. After the Raps-Suns game (more on that later.), I was flipping through channels, and found Beauty and the Geek 3 (funniest realitity show on tv right now). It was hilarious. Not as nerdy as the first season, but still hilarious. Here's two clips.



Funny, but this guy was not nerdy enough. Glad to see him kicked out first (wasn't his fault, I have to admit, his partner was a moron: she was asked what NYSE stood for on wall street and still couldn't get it).

This next one is weird...





So after that, I switched to ABC (I can't decide if they're better or Fox) to catch the Knights of Prosperity (off topic, but is anyone else excited for the premier of Little Mosque on the Prairie?...even if it's on CBC). And it lived up to the hype. Just half an hour of hilarity straight from the begining. This video pretty much sums up the plot. Though I don't know if it mentions that the knights are robbing Mike Jagger.



For some reason, Rockefeller reminds me of Mr. T.


Alright, vid dump is over. You can stop reading now unless you're boyang or Adam.

First things first, Adam, who would you take between the two: Jovanoski or Commodore (penalty is a positive stat in my league)

Now we can head on to my random comments...

How about that 2 shutout week from Emery,and is Gerber even on the team anymore?

Sweet jumper from Barbosa to win the game in Chicago, then last night, Nash comes in and drops a fade away to win in the ACC. Can you say 3-peat?

4 point night from Heatly, hat trick in the 2nd alone: 1 shorthanded goal, 1 even strenth, and 1 pp.

TSN just sucks, it keeps replaying the World Junior Chamionships over and over again. The commentator was an idiot. He was saying stuff like how the EPL and La Liga needs shoot outs in the regular season. Doesn't he know that pks robbed france in the World Cup. (ok, fine, the headbutt and horrifically bad luck might have had something to do about it. Viera and Henry both going down in the final game of the tournament? What are the chances of that. And during ot, you could tell italy just wanted to waste 30 minutes and go to pks. That was the worst world cup ever. The whole thing was based on whether Buffon or Barthez was the better goalkeep. How is that a good way to decide the best team in the world?)

Saw the chelsea game last weekend. They looked horrible. It was a home game versus Fullham, and they drew 2-2. What was Essien thinking? A header? And Ballack, that was the crappiest clear I ever saw. And don't even get me started on shevchenko. (it seems they are turning into the yankees, how strange...)

Last but not least, here are my bandwagon jumps the past year, and my future jumps.
Most proud of my Tennesse Titan jump the second they got vince young, and I'm not getting off yet...
Anaheim ducks worked really well, and I was on before the season started. But they dropped the mighty from their name, so I'll have to reevaluate my position. The Canucks have looked great the past few games, but I think Ottawa's going to be good when they're at full force now that Emery's the starter.
Roger clemens let me down, but I'm jumping on the dmat bandwagon right now.
Last year I was on the Phoenix-can-win-with-no-defence-and-no-amare bandwagon, but this year, I'm going for the adam morrison-for-roy and Bargnani-is-the-next-Nowizki-and-Raptors-are-making-the-playoffs bandwagon. (I'm still confident that the Kevin Durant bandwagon will pay off, just need to have patience)
And despite what boyang says, get on the Tim Cahill bandwagon now!!

And that's it for now, folks. (by which I mean Yuxuan, boyang, and adam)

Christmas...

No....Why does it have to be so dark? I was having fun shooting hoops although it's 4 days from officially being winter!
So, it's exactly the week before Christmas, for Christians this is the time to celebrate when Jesus was born (I'm not too good at religion stuff). What I don't get is why people exchange gifts on some else's birthday. I guess that's something for me to find out over the holidays.

Now...Family Guy Christmas (22 Minutes Full Episode)
Ignore the first minute (ish)


Also, have you ever wanted to download a video off Youtube or any other site?
Well... Now you can, all you need is Firefox! Yes, I transfered from IE7 to FF.

First go here and download


Then, go here and install

Now, just go to any video site and use this. Icon on bottom right.

Bored...............

Ok, I was so bored I actually did some research and entered the LMOM Contest . Anyways, I finished the English Summative, don't feel like handing it in through Myfiles(Access school account at home) and don't know what to do. Maybe I should try out our jacuzzi. I'll put up some pictures of our new house soon.
**Warning some mature language follows**

I was watching the season finale of the Amazing Race Season 10. What did I think about it? It was fucking shit. Why? Well, usually, the season finales have a lot of suspense and tension, but this one didn't. Usually, they are 2 hours long, this one was 1. Usually, they have to do a memory task, this one didn't. Usually, there is a long run to the finish line, this one didn't have one. The season was pretty awesome with the new twists and tasks. However, the season finale fucking sucked. Up to now, there have been 9 seasons (8 doesn't count because it was Family edition and there was no travelling around the world which fucking sucked ass because that's the whole fucking point of this fucking race other than the 1 million dollars). Season 7 was great and it was also the most watched because it was so amazing. They have Asian Amazing Race up on Youtube, I am going to go watch it soon. I certainly hope that Season 11(All-Star Edition) will be good, if it ends similar to 10, I will be so pissed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Word of the Week:lolz/TV/900 MILLION!!!

My word of the week is lolz. I am attempting to use it at least 10 times everyday.

Anyways, for all you OC/Degrassi/Corner Gas/Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip/Whistler/MTV fans:

You can watch legal high-resolution episodes of these shows here! I think they're still expanding. Why won't they add The Amazing Race? :'(


According to Jim: Chicago family with 3 kids. Man=Jim, Wife=Cheryl, Wife's Bro=Andy, Wife's Sis=Dana. It's funny, but I can't find any good clips. If you find any, please comment.

Don't Try This At Home Kids...


Andy's Real Intention


Dad Can Do Anything


And finally, 900 MILLION!!! Yes I would like that much money (don't care about currency). This video, I'm sure almost all of you have watched it, is the most watched video(on the internet) of all time 900 MILLION EFFING TIMES. For those who haven't watched it, here it is. Also, it's important to note that he made the tape but forgot about it, it was found by some kids at school, they shared it Peer to Peer on Kazaa because they thought it was funny. The original video name was: "Jackass_starwars_funny.wmv". In "White and Nerdy"(See Below), there is a parody of the Star Wars Kid.
