Beat Tiffany at Tontie and win a prize

Friday, June 30th, 2006

Ok, so here’s a challenge for all of you wanting to waste some time. My sister has managed to get all the way up to level 20 on Tontie, which in my experience in playing the game, is just about impossible. Yet, she has done it (and no, the screenshot is not Photoshop’d).
Can you beat [...]

Shakespeare in the Park

Friday, June 30th, 2006

Shakespeare in the Park is already a little more than a month into production, and you and I have about less than a week left to experience the first play, Macbeth, before it closes on July 9th. The production runs on Tues-Sun, at 8PM (but get there much earlier).
New York magazine gives some tips on [...]

Buttercream Gang video highlights

Friday, June 30th, 2006

My mind wanders sometimes, and today, I started thinking about the old family feel-good movie, The Buttercream Gang. So where else would I do a search but YouTube. Looks like somebody else is on the same wavelength. My brothers and sisters would remember this for sure. Anybody else ever watch The Buttercream Gang?

Simon sees real Koreans from Korea

Thursday, June 29th, 2006

I emailed Simon a couple of days ago and told him that instead of writing, he should just post YouTube video updates because they are faster and they are easier to share. Plus, we get to see stuff. So I guess he took my suggestion and posted this first video of his missions trip to [...]

New Disney logo animation

Thursday, June 29th, 2006

I forgot to mention in my review of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest that Disney is debuting a newly animated logo along with the movie.
It’s computer animated, like the Pixar ones you see before a Pixar animated film, but this new one has more flair and, in my opinion, looks much better than [...]

Thursday already?! Hot dang.

Thursday, June 29th, 2006

The Lower Manhattan Development Group has released the latest and hopefully final plan for the Freedom Tower. The Freedom Tower looks vastly different now than it did when it first was introduced.
Heh, someone’s hand was caught in the scanner during a Google Book Search scan. [via]
These 32 World Cup soccer balls visually show you the [...]

Mr. T and two crash videos

Thursday, June 29th, 2006

Mr. T on 80’s Fashion. Yikes, kinda scary.

If you were sitting in either of the last two cars in this video, you are probably dead. SMASH!

If you were sitting in the cab of this truck, you are probably dead too. SMASH!

Pirates of the Caribbean (2): Dead Man’s Chest

Wednesday, June 28th, 2006

I love it when I can end a day just right without actually having planned anything to do. Jocelyn called me out of nowhere today and asked me if I wanted to go ahead and watch a sneak preview screening of a new movie. We didn’t really know what movie it was going to be, [...]

Ashley’s birthday bash at Jeollado

Tuesday, June 27th, 2006

Happy birthday to Ashley!

On Sunday, I went to eat with Ashley (and all her friends) at Jeollado, this Japanese restaurant between 1st and 2nd Avenues. It was also sort of a small reunion for lots of folks, including myself. I saw some people that I haven’t seen in a very long time.
See the rest of [...]

Superman Returns is out today!!!

Tuesday, June 27th, 2006

At this point in time, I should be writing a post about how I’ll be away for the next few days at Creation Festival NE. Unfortunately, as you can read below, that is not happening anymore because the entire event has been postponed (when really, it’s been cancelled). I’m so disappointed too because I’ve literally [...]
