futurama is IMO still the best "funny cartoon" around. the simpsons and family guy have nothing on it. matt g. really put his best effort into it.

how to box out
how to just dominate
i remember watching the 2nd commercial for the 1st time during college on my laptop and i couldn't stop laughing(in a quiet room!). the best part is when he's setting the screen. although the poster's pretty funny too.

i just watched superman 3... seems like the actress playing lana lang happens to be the woman who plays clark's mother in smallville... if i'm not mistaken.
i think i've seen all of the superman movies w/christopher reeve when i was a kid; so while i don't remember each movie line by line, at least i know 1 event in each movie to distinguish one from the other(seen 2 the most though; that one was prob my favorite). superman 3's cool cause of that scene where he ends up battling himself(always thought as a kid that the good side of him was just clark kent, but it was really more like good superman in clark kent's attire). and you can kinda tell that superman changes because his cape looks slightly darker red when he's evil, bright red when he's good.
oh yeah; superman 3's "cool" cause richard pryor's in it. haha. it still grossed less than the 1st 2 superman movies though. in fact, the christopher reeve superman movies apparently were good until the 3rd one came out. 4th one was kinda "eh" as well. that's the thing with movie sequels; when in doubt, don't watch any ones past the 2nd. unless you get to do so for free.

i need to stop visiting espn.com's message board, especially the stuff near the end of each game recap; reeks of douchebaggery. the most prevalent posters fail of logic 101 and reading comprehension, and quite frankly, just want attention.

saw a REALLY tall white woman at guitar center... wearing high heels. made her look like um, 6'2(i don't think i've ever seen a tall woman/girl in real life taller than 6'2-ish). the relocated guitar center's a lot like the sacramento guitar center inside.

seeing how i'm not in a mood to buy cheap video games for a time, i've gotten back into an "abandonware" mood, fooling around with dosbox and etc.
the game i'm currently fooling around with is "heart of china." it's a rpg-type game; you can find it on abandonia.com.
it's kinda funny; if you play it, you'll either think it's the most stereotypical way that americans view chinese, it's just plain ignorant-racist or that it's just pretty funny.
you're basically an american in china during i'd say around the 1970s, etc. a causasian nurse has been captured and you have to find a chinese ninja to help you rescue her.
the thing is, the guy who you control, his dialogue is, well, just reeks of "trailer park ignorance." if anybody acted like this today, they'd get their face smashed in by a crowbar, then pushed down a flight of stairs. for instance, "(while two others are speaking in mandarin) hello? i'm giving you to the count of 3 to speak in american!" or, "why are you speaking to me in chinese? do i look chinese?"
the only reason i'm still playing it is cause i want to finish the game; doesn't seem too hard; doom shareware wasn't really enough to hold me for a while, given how easy it is to play the included 1st game using the wasd-mouse config.

deejay's maybe one of my top 3 favorite characters in ssf2t(the others are new-ken, new-balrog); it's tough playing with him because he's a charge character, making it hard to get inside, but once you get a knockdown, you can totally swing the outcome of the round(so no match is completely unwinnable):
tomi jei(deejay) vs kusodaru(dhalsim)
tomi jei(deejay) vs chin(guile)
tomi jei(deejay) vs ume(zangief)

gsw has nothing to be ashamed of...
they weren't supposed to make the playoffs...
they weren't supposed to control a 67 win team, and favorite to win the championship this year...
they weren't supposed to control the league MVP, and cause his highly revered high post game to go to crap...
they weren't supposed to beat the mavs...
and lastly, they weren't supposed to hang with the jazz; almost all of the games the jazz won, the warriors COULDVE(i'm using this word lightly) won.
and i agree with don nelson; they got over the hump this year. actually, two: 1) playoff entrance, 2) advancing past the 1st round
---
i wonder why nothing i do goes right.
---
top 2 contenders from each conference that i want for the nba finals this year:
west:
1)suns
2)jazz
(no hate for spurs; i just wouldn't mind seeing amare or carlos/okur/ak in the spotlight this year)
east:
1)pistons
2)bulls

konata vs guile
acho.com - seki vs ani-ken
ani-ken is my favorite ssf2t new-ken player. very good dragon punch/knee throw mixup intuition. mattsun's a lot more flashier, but he isn't seen as much.

somebody emailed espn.com with this:
"I have been a Warriors fan since age 3 and attended every home playoff game this year at different locations -- Warrior fans in the first round were worthy of the praise bestowed upon them by the media (you included). Last night, I was disgusted to be at the Oracle. The Dallas series was packed with REAL fans, a raucous arena full of people who had really been waiting 15 years. Once we upset the Mavericks though, we became obscenely trendy. Now, rich suburban families who couldn't name half our roster decided it would be fun to take the family to a game, and prices went up to $250 a seat for the lower bowl. Goodbye real fans, hello normal NBA crowd. The arena was subpar in the Game 3 win, but was absolutely SILENT in Game 4. I got in fights with fans around me after screaming at them to make noise. It's a sad day for Bay Area basketball. The fans get credit for the wins, we deserve the blame for this loss."
-thanks a lot jon, louis, wes, mike, dennis, norm! [/sarcasm]
-but yea, i could see it myself too; near the end of the game, many of the lower bowl seats were vacant. many of the fans were silent when the jazz were up.

why is it that white people always call "pearl milk tea," "bubble tea?" always peeves me why they do that.
or why more people seem to like chicken over beef?

i've got about 3 hours to blow, so i'd thought i'd spend some time ragging on the "bandwagon fan." the bay area would know something about this right about now, given their incredible series against the mavericks, their "go-for-broke" attitude on every offensive possession of jacking up 3s, etc. it draws a lot of fans. it's also a commonplace thing for die-hard sports fans to absolutely HATE the bandwagon fan. why? reasons are obvious; they are only there when the team's doing well. when the team is doing well, and they have a chance to reach the chip, everybody loves them. when they're on the verge of getting swept, or aren't making the playoffs, nobody likes them. God bless the loyal Heat fans, but Miami is a great example of a bandwagon sports city. where are all the Marlin fans? where are all the Heat fans? nowhere. they apparently care more about other things.
most people, in citing their loyalty in following their team, will say something to the extent of "i have been following this team ever since i was 8, etc." but does that mean we're not allowed to also become fans of other teams? no. so by that same logic, if you haven't become dead set on what teams to like before hitting 10, it's official; you're a bandwagon fan of any team. wonderful; i'm out of luck; why am i watching the nba at all these days then?
but, i want to elaborate that most people tend to judge bandwagon fans by the period of time that they jump ON the bandwagon. i also believe that isn't a good way to do it. you see, no one becomes a fan of a sucky team on their own. at all. (besides following your hometown sports team) you just don't see anybody start closely following a team which is sucking; you only follow the teams which do well, or have a promising player you wish would do well. i can attest for myself i didn't start following the modern-day pistons when they failed to reach the playoffs with grant hill. i became a fan when i saw just how defensively disgusting each of the starters could guard his man.
so when do you judge the bandwagon fans? simple; when they get off. remember that a bandwagon fan only gets on when it's easy, gets off when it's hard. it's nice and all to have snoop dogg in the oracle arena, kate hudson, carlos santana, etc. GREAT! i'm not going to judge just yet; if they become warrior faithful, GREAT! but if the lakers do well next year and/or the warriors don't do well, and i don't see those same people come april and may, i'm going to be VERY, VERY, VERY DISAPPOINTED.

"finding forrester" was a great movie, and i'm glad i watched it. i do crack up everytime i rehear sean connery say in his scottish accent, "you're the man now dog!"

sometimes the most important thing to do in trying to find out the truth is not only to ask the questions, but to provide plausible answers, then questions off of the answers again. it is when you are constantly trying to seek the answer for something and refusing to settle, that the answers finally settle.
