American League Championship Series... The Red Sox won Game 4, 6-4 in the 12th inning.

...

Doesn't get any more pointless than that. The Yankees are going back to the World Series!!

EDIT: FOOOOLED YOU!!! I knew the Red Sox were gonna rally and make it to the World Series!! Suckers.

American League Championship Series... Yankees: 6, Red Sox: 0 as of this writing... (Final score: 10-7, Yankees) This ad was on the back of the New York Newsday magazine yesterday.



This is what a devoted Boston fan has to say about the Yank's dominance:

Rest In Peace, SUPERMAN... Christopher Reeves: 1952-2004.

I went back to Long Beach State today just to pay a visit (that, and buy a new CSULB window decal and Alumni license plate for my car), and needless to say...GOOD GRIEF!! So many HOT CHICKS on campus!! Of course, there were obviously hot chicks there even when I was still a student, but I didn’t realize just how blessed my school was until I graduated from the place. Damn, look at what I lost! I knew I should’ve taken some extracurricular classes this semester, hahaha. Anyways, it was really cool stopping by CSULB...so many memories (yea, yea— I stopped by the classroom where Duyen and I had the Geology class together many years ago, and I passed by the grassfield that I used for the opening scene and football sequence in my student film Envious). Sentimental bastard, am I...haha. I only ran into one former classmate while I was there (I actually saw her at a film shoot more than a month ago. She took part in the commmencement ceremony with me last May but will officially finish her classes this semester). Well, I also ran into another student I know at the film department...but he was being a punkass. “What are you doing here?” he asks, deadpan. ME: “I’m here to get your mom’s phone number, you little biatch.” Just kidding, I didn’t say that. Though I wish I did, lol. Anyways, that’s all. Don’t know when I’ll stop by CSULB again however... It’s not exactly the same as driving only a mile or two to my old elementary school, or several miles to Bishop Amat, my high school alma mater (YES, I need to move out of the house). CSULB, on the other hand, is a brisk 20-30 miles away.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PARNO!!! That would be me by the way, hahaha. Anyways, if you live on the West Coast of the United States, specifically in Southern California, then here's a photo montage of a couple of things that you ABSOLUTELY DON'T give a damn about (well, maybe except about the Dodgers and the Angels)...but made headlines the past week anyway: SpaceShipOne winning the $10 million Ansari X Prize today, and the Dodgers and the Angels each clinching the MLB west division titles last Saturday. And of course, if you're living in Washington State, then you should be caring about Mt. St. Helens blowing its load in a big way any minute now. And of course, the biggest headliner last week was the Presidential Debate on Thursday. Didn't watch it (since I was at work), so I can't comment on anything, hahaha.

THIS SITE HAS EXCEEDED ITS MONTHLY TRANSFER LIMIT. PLEASE RETURN AGAIN LATER! In case some of you are actually clicking on the links at the top of this page (or at least the 3 links that are visible. Thank you very much, Blogger) to go to my main website, you'll have to wait till 11:00 PM (um, Pacific Standard Time) pretty much each day to be able to gain access to my site. Ever since March, my site has quickly been exceeding its bandwidth limit...making it unavailable for pretty much the whole day. WHEN will I fix that problem, you say? I dunno... Not for quite a while. As to why my site has been exceeding its bandwidth limit, it is because of my Artwork and Autographs section. Type in Spawn, Batman, Spider-Man, The Matrix, Predator, Darth Maul, Eric Gagne, Jasmine Mai, Francine Dee, Alley Baggett, Aubreylyn (or pretty much the name of ANY well-known import model!), Vladimir Guerrero, Derek Fisher, Rick Fox or even Greg Foster as a keyword on Google, and chances are you'll stumble upon the links to those and other sections on my page. Anyways, that's all. Sorry for the inconvenience. Fortunately, Blogger doesn't have the same problem! Um, yet. Here's a random quote:

"The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist."

EDIT: Hmm... As of this writing (12:12 AM, PST), my main website is still down. Well, I guess that means you can ignore pretty much everything I wrote in the post above. Oh well. This entry was originally posted up about a week ago... I just felt like re-posting it to remind you guys of the situation with my Crosswinds site. Maybe I should've checked to see if my pages were up and running after 11:00 PM before I uploaded this message again, hahaha.

Here's something to piss you off...if you're cat lovers. Someone posted this up on an online message board. It doesn't get any more tasteless than this, hahaha.

A random tidbit: I think the one parent whose personality traits mine are similar to is my mom. Which, um, kinda sucks. Though the quick-to-anger trait and loud voice is definitely from my dad.

You know I need to put more effort into sending out job resumes when I was able to spend the whole day yesterday watching ALL 4 discs of the Star Wars DVD set. Combined, the DVD set and the new Battlefront video game earned around $115 million in sales on Tuesday. ONLY $115 million?? I guess the movie series just isn't that popular anymore. Hahahahaha.

Well, since today is the release date of the most anticipated DVD set ever, I just felt like doing something extremely geeky and posting up screenshots from all of the Original Star War Trilogy DVDs. If you’ve never seen any of the films before (no matter how good The Lord of the Rings trilogy is, it is no where as iconic as the Original Trilogy), then you’ll no doubt be confused and ask “What the hell are these?” to the images below. The first montage of photos is from A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back. The second montage includes images from Return of the Jedi. And of course, the third montage includes images from all 3 films. These images should pretty much answer a very lame question one of my friends (who's never seen any of the 3 films) asked me a long time ago: Are the original Star Wars films in black & white?

...



Eww.

FIRST OF ALL...What does the average person who's never seen a black & white movie before have AGAINST black & white films? What-- 'Cause they're OLD?? Whatever. You're not gonna become blind or suffer a heart attack (or turn gay, but I don't want to go there since that statement's politically incorrect, haha) or anything if you watched a film with no color. Again, whatever!



What was I talking about again? OH YES...that facetious question about the Original Trilogy being shot in black & white. If the NEW FILMS are in color, HELL--not only in color but shot IN DIGITAL [with a High Definition (24P, or Perfs) camera provided by Sony and modified by Panavision...but the average Joe or Jane obviously wouldn't know that...'cause he or she is average. Just kidding, heheh.], what makes you FREAKIN' think the old films would be in black & white??? Then again, some people were crazy enough to think the prequels were remakes of the old films, and that Jake Lloyd was a young Luke Skywalker in The Phantom Menace. Boneheads.

BELOW: Look-- They're in COLOR! (No wait, they always were!)





Anakin Skywalker: Mr. Badass. These behind-the-scene shots below are from The Return of Darth Vader featurette on Disc 4 of the DVD set. As you can see, Hayden Christensen is pretty much gonna spend the most of next year’s Revenge of the Sith looking all pissed and homicidal with his lightsaber. From a fan’s standpoint, can’t wait! ... What? You don’t expect someone who acts like Corky Romano or Screech to become Vader, do you?
