The-re-min what?!

Yeah, I'm not very musical. But hey, I got really curious with this device/instrument. I guess I'm not the only one who has not been introduced, so before googling the title can you tell what these are?

How bout this one?



Still perplexed? Check out these vids:

In my opinion, nothing beats how Levi Celerio plays tunes with just a leaf. I'm just saying...

Triplets?

I dunno if it's just me, but while watching Survivor Micronesia, I can't help but think that I must've seen Erik in some movie before. Well, not really. He just looks like...



Left: Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite/Blades of Glory)
Center: Erik Reichenbach (Survivor Micronesia-Fans VS Favorites)
Right: Felicity Huffman (Desperate Housewives/Transamerica)

I think the $40 chocolate-covered finger lick he did is what reality TV is all about! I'm just saying...

Car 30

Remember that time when you had to save money on a trip and you had no choice but to be trapped with the in-laws in a dingy motel and it felt like you're gonna die? Well, this is worse. Okay, okay...maybe the in-laws thing is hell.



But anyway, this video was purportedly leaked after more than 8 years of active cover-up by an obviously embarrassed to death company. Apparently, Nicholas White (the guy in the video) went down for a smoke break not knowing that it would be the longest smoke break that he would ever have. The incident became his ticket to a downward spiral. What would you do if you were stuck in a cage for more than 40 hours with...no cellphone, no water, no ipod?



Here's the full and very sad story of Nicholas White from the New Yorker.

All I can say is.....at least he had smokes. ;)

Crackhead Tap

Took the subway early this morning after downing a cheap bottle of vino and a bar of coffee crisp last night. Got a little thirsty so I finished everything even before I finished watching Lars and The Real Girl. Movie's not bad but drags a bit, and with 14% alcohol in my system, I would cry at the corniest of scenes and flap my wings at the stupidest of jokes.

So back to the subway scene. I got on Victoria Park and sat in front of an obviously high crackhead wearing a black tee with a yellow Star Wars print. Halfway in the trip, the guy taps my shoulder and whispers something. I was enjoying the chorus of Elliott's Free so I din't catch what he was saying. Took the pods off and asked. This was how the conversation went:

Me: What's that?
Crackhead: So I'm going to Woodbine and I'm spending 3 grand. Which number should I choose, 31 or 57?
Me: (was still half asleep and cranky) Why don't you buy a 3 grand suit, go and lay on the 401 and take 5 forever!

(then I stood and walk to the other end of the coach and spent the rest of the trip with Elliott Yamin)

Now, I'm gonna be expecting a morbid news about that guy in the following days.

Black Suede Scandal?

I got a weird email spam this morning regarding a supposed Cebu scandal. And yes, I actually check the spam titles before deleting them...everytime. Coz you never know what gossip you may miss. And so I read on and it went to say that a case will be filed for patient-doctor confidentiality breach regarding a youtube vid of an anal surgery.

WTF?! How and why the heck would an anal surgery be interesting to merit online space?

.....BODY SPRAY BOTTLE IN THE HOLE!


Oh, that's interesting! So I went ahead and searched through youtube planet. Took me just 5 minutes to finally get into a copy of a copy of the original upload. Turns out, the originals and other copies have been erased, for some legal reasons. Anyway, the vid was obviously taken with a phonecam and it looked like it was done inside the O.R. To me, the procedure actually was not surgery, it's more of lost item recovery, as I don't think an incision was needed to get through the freaking bottle. So there, dirty/contaminated surgery, whatever you wish to call it, it was a fiasco in that certain cubicle, they were cheering, for barf's sake. At one point, a member of the team even said "put it back in!" I also noticed 2 other cams recording the whole thing so I'm sure other vids will soon surface.



If you're wondering how the hell did this thing happen, CLICK HERE for a version of what probably transpired.



I feel so bad for..........the bottle. Poverty sucks that people can't even afford a decent dildo.

Lessons learned from this:
1. Have sex without booze and drugs. Trust me, it's better to feel the pressure when you're fully conscious.
2. Love thy lube...lots of it.
3. If you can't fart, then something's wrong with the pipes.

Freebie!

So I got an email from NOW Toronto and I was thrilled to finally win something from their newsletter mailing list. I've been signing up for contests for months and I've only gotten cold callers instead of goodie packages. Anyway, I won tickets to see the premiere of Family Motel. Of course, I haven't heard of it, but quick googling says it's a Canadian production about a Somali family's battle with immigrant issues and homelessness. A friend went with me not knowing what to expect.



Well, I should say I loved the film. It's a little held off in terms of violent mishaps and situations, but I understand it was done light so as not to pull the focus away from the real issues. To me it's more of an inner struggle among the characters so the heavy emotions drawn out were enough. There was a post show Q&A with the actors and the production and it's interesting to note that the lead actors haven't even done any kind of film before. They also did the whole production without an actual script, so I applaud the cast for their improv talents, which should ring higher fees, but then again it's a film for a cause so forget that. Production wise, it was filmed in HD cams so you could actually see the smallest of comedones on the actors' faces. It's also nice that they actually used real people in their real jobs in the course of the mother's challenges. Overall, it's a well-crafted film. Although it's probably best suited shown on TV for more people to see, I hope the film gains more support for better exposure around the world. The film opens early May in Toronto so watch for it!

Winter's done

Goodness! It's been 2 years and this is still on. I would think my page would get shelved after a year or so of basically nonexistence. Anyway, I hope to get more hits and share more to a nonexistent audience. Who knows, I might meet some interesting people thru this. Will try to link my flickr photos too. I dunno how to do it yet but it will happen...in 42 years. :P
