If all things go as planned, tomorrow the girlfriend and I will catch X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and I’ve decided in advance I will leave my utter dislike for Wolverine as a character at the door (though I think Hugh Jackman makes a good Wolverine), and I will clear my mind of all the glaring continuity [...]

Yesterday I had a little post on plurk to identify this mystery food. My guess would have been lou hei (you know, that stuff you have during Chinese New Year).
Leshane came close to identifying the actual item:
I know what it is!!! The nyonya thingy right? the filling is like popiah filling..yum yum! with a [...]

Since today’s our fourth month together, I thought I’d go with an awesome love song that I heard just once while driving home, but it grabbed me immediately: Last Train Home by Ryan Star (not to be confused with the other song with the same name by the Lostprophets).
There’s no official music video yet, so [...]

I haven’t been a Thor fan in awhile. Although I will say I like him as a character (c’mon, what’s not to like about a Thunder God with a hugeass hammer yelling “HAVE AT THEE” and smashing everything in comic books!), I’ve just never been able to relate to him. He’s the big gun that [...]

One of the first songs the girlfriend sent me, a catchy tune, fun lyrics and awesome vocals. Very 80’s, if you ask me!

I’ve been hearing about Jamie McKelvie’s work for awhile now, namely Suburban Glamour and Phonogram. Having flipped through Phonogram previously, let me start this review off by saying all of Jamie McKelvie’s work should be in full colour, because it is freaking gorgeous.
So here’s the short story: Astrid (the girl on the cover) is actually [...]

Rewind back to the IT Show last month (where I bought my kick ass new desktop), I also got the Western Digital HDTV Media Player, which I have been enjoying immensely ever since.
What does it do? Very simple. You connect it to a TV via a HDMI (or RGB) cable, insert in a USB thumbdrive [...]

I don’ think I was ever a fan of Alanis Morissette. Sure I listened to Hands Over Feet and Ironic and Hand In My Pocket growing up just like everyone else, but I always felt her music was a little angsty and not for me.
Fast forward to early this year when Chloe and I were [...]

A couple of weeks ago, Reuben was looking through my iPhone and checking out the contacts.
After awhile he asked “Who’s jabroni?” (Sidenote, one definition of jabroni is “a piece of monkey crap”. Other, more vulgar, definitions can be found here). My answer: “My sister.”
“Haha! All sisters should be called jabroni”
Truer words have never been spoken.

I didn’t create this video, but the person who did…. pure genius!!!
