Goodbye MJ

I held on not to ride on the bandwagon on MJ's death but watching his memorial at Staples center is filled with so much grief. When his daughter, Paris Jackson gave her speech, it can't more heartwrenching than this.




From one of your greatest fan, FAREWELL MJ!

Depp Crazy

I have always been wondering why Johnny Depp went mainstream Disney. He had an opportunity to become the ultimate hearthrob after 21 Jumpstreet but eschewed it for small independent films. You never see him star on a romantic comedy. Once in a while you see him a big studio movie only to work with Tim Burton.

Now after Pirates of the Caribbean, he is back on mainstream for good. He still has that shy persona with a streak of a bad boy persona. Then you see him talk about his life and kids, he softens up and his face lights up.

At the age of 46, he still looks cool. Check out the article at Vanity Fair, see what makes Johnny Boy do what he does and why. He came in the right time for a reinvention.

Who goes to Washington

It only Kumar not Harold.

I remember when the first "White Castle" movie came out, the title was ridiculous, it has actors whose I hadn't heard before, there is no way that I will waste my money nor my time.

When the movie came out on video, one of my sisters raved about it being funny. Hubby J seem to like it, so I queued it on my Netflix, I want to give it a shot.

The story was about 2 friends of totally opposite personalities, they were on a hunt for their favorite snack - the slider from White Castle. They drove to the nearest location and found out that it closed and was taken over by a different chain. The next location would be in the seedy part of New Jersey. They braved the trip and while they were looking for that location, they saw 2 guys (their description: lame version of us) that got beaten up by thugs. Scared, they drove through south for another location which gave them the diversion of getting injured, meeting coeds at a frat party and picking up a celebrity hitchhiker.

The dvd finally came and I was prepared for disappointment, no expectations at all on making sense of this movie. But it turned out the opposite, first it was set in New Jersey, so all garden state reference were duly noted. Besides being raunchy, there were scenes that got me laughing. It finally got my attention and watched the entire movie till the end. It was a happy ending, they go what they have aspired for. Afterwards, I became a fan. I eagerly waited for the part 2 - on video.

One night, I saw Kal Penn as a guest at Leno. Somewhat I expected him to be the same personality as his alter ego. Of course, not. He turned out to be the opposite. Among the conversation, it was mentioned that he moonlights as a college professor teaching Sociology. He said that he usually has a full turnout thinking that the class would be a huge frat party but half usually drops the class when they find out that he requires a lot of textbook reading. Impressive.

Now, he is back on the news again. He just started a high profile job at the white house as an Associate Director of Public Liason for the Asian communities. Nice.

Let's see if he does a good job.

Cartoons

Sometimes, the New York Post do hit the spot. Some recent funny ones that made me chuckle.



I am baffled as everyone else why NBC need to replace Jay Leno. Have you heard the saying: "if ain't broken, dont fix it".

You think Jon has another room for 8 kids?

Beach eats

Went to the beach lugging the same case full of burger sliders. I felt guilty bringging this case, I could feel eyes were on us while we opened it. Those burgers never taste so good!
