Saw Old Boy once again today. This would make it my 3rd time. Great movie and an awesome psycho thriller. You can watch the trailer here. Watched it with StanMan, ChemChampion, and Joe (who joined us later). I won’t be reviewing the movie here, since this is a re-viewing, but StanMan was saying how this movie was similar to Saw. I can see how it can be similar, but Old Boy is on a totally different level in my opinion. Old Boy was more of a revenge thriller as he unravels his past to find out the truth, as Saw was more of what are the available options given the current situation you’re in.
The main plan of my visit to ChemChampion was to install his hard drive and dvd burner and reinstall Windows XP since his current computer is running on a fault drive. He returned the favor by treating me to Red Robin. I’m still so stuffed…

Pad Sea Ew – The Ballad of Soda and Cory Halls (from liam) – a hilarious mp3 for those who attended Berkeley and know about Soda and Cory Hall. The artist’s site is located here. You can find more stuff under Stuff. Here are the lyrics:
You haven’t showered in a week
You’re growing fungus on your feet
You know that sleep is on your mind
Just like that chick you’ll never findYour project’s due at midnight
But there’s no solution in sight
You’re hornier than a dog in heat
But there’s no one to stroke your meatWelcome to Soda Hall
Where the men are under 5 feet tall
You can check out any time you like
But you know you’ll never leave tonightYour social life’s gone down the drain
But is it really worth this pain?
While your peers are getting drunk tonight
You’re living it up on counterstrike.Welcome to Soda Hall
Where the men are under 5 feet tall
You can check out any time you like
But you know you’ll never leave tonightOooooooo
Little EECS boy
You’re every parents’ pride and joyWelcome to Soda Hall
Where the men are under 5 feet tall
You can check out any time you like
But you know you’ll never leave tonightWelcome to Cory Hall
Where most of the men are under 5 feet tall
You can check out any time you like
But you know you’ll never leave tonight x 3
In terms of purchasing, it’s a woman’s world-study – Men defer to women when it comes to choosing movies, restaurants and television shows, according to the survey, set for release in the next two weeks. The data indicated that women also decide where to sit in a movie theatre, where to shop for food and which guests come to the family home. In fact, the only areas where men said they had any clout involved personal electronics purchases, the family car and setting household budgets. I’d have to agree. I hate making decisions on where to eat or what movie to see, WHEN I’m in a group. Guys are simple. If you leave it up to me to shop for food, I’d end up at Costco buying frozen pizza and hot wings. Veggies? Do we really need them? It’s also correct in stating that men choose their electronics and cars. I’d hear people’s recommendation, but I ultimately choose my own. Hooray for toys!
Man with 11-woman commune had stun gun? – Police found a stun gun and tear gas Friday at the Tokyo home of a man who said he persuaded 11 younger women to live with him by chanting a spell, media reports said. Police suspect he used the weapons to prevent the women, mainly in their 20s, from leaving, the reports said. An update on the man who claims he used an incantation to put the woman into a spell and fall in love with him. Could it be that he’s threatening the woman with the stun gun and secret agents?

Want a Job in China? Be a Dog – In a new twist on the phrase “working like a dog,” a company in northern China says it will only hire candidates born in the Asian zodiac’s year of the canine. Hmmmmm… Quite an opportunity for me… That means 1 in 12 people would have a better chance!
Operatic sheep really do grow golden fleece – Loro Piana said it bought the bale from the Highlander Partnership, a fine-wool project in the Snowy Mountains region of New South Wales state, for A$232,500 ($174,800) or A$2,500 a kilogram — 357 times the normal market price for wool. Wow. I wonder how good clothing made out of that wool must feel like!
