Ok, whoever came up with the alien love doll needs serious psychiatric help. Try explaining that to your roommate.

I really have to applaud the guy who sold a Playstation 2 box and receipt for $425. That's the box and receipt, got it? If you can find some sucker to pay $425 for cardboard and paper, more power to you.

My professor's website has pictures from Conquest of the Planet of the Apes, which was filmed here at UC Irvine. They shot in social science, humanities, and I think the main library.

The making of Made presented by the Makers of Made is a website about, obviously, the making of Made, the next movie by the creators of Swingers. Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau also star in Made, so you know it's gonna be money.

Ugh, it was bound to happen sooner or later: 'N Syncers 'n Movies. Two of the dudes in 'N Sync (any 2 will do: they're interchangeable) will star in a movie produced by one of the dudes. And -get this- his production company is called A Happy Place. I'm betting the movie will be rated G.

It might be worth watching the Super Bowl just to see the new Matrix-style instant replays. They should've done this years ago.

Ha ha, you gotta love this: staffers from the Clinton White House removed the "W" keys on their keyboards before the Bush staffers took over. I should do something similar to the computer lab keyboards when I graduate.

This is what every college student needs: a Mountain Dew shotgun. Just imagine the looks on people's faces when you shoot cans of Mountain Dew at them.

Man Who Thought He Was On Date Actually Just At Work-Related Get-Together.

"There Natalie and I were at Trattoria Il Panino, candles flickering and soft music playing. But somehow, the conversation kept turning back to the upcoming print campaign for [anti-fungal medication] Lamisil," the 32-year-old Rolen said. "Then it hit me: This is a business meeting."
Poor guy.

I read in the LA Times that American Pie 2 will be released later this year. What the fuck is that going to be about? The College Years? 2 hours of hardcore pie fucking? Maybe they join a frat and have to fuck pies for initiation. Anyway, you know it's going to suck.

Women Lack Confidence and Men Lie.

Women have less faith in their computer skills than men, according to a survey of undergraduates in the US.

Men are more likely to rate their computer expertise as "above average" than women, despite near identical experience and frequency of use. The researchers also noted that women were much less likely to spend time in chat rooms or playing video games.

It is perhaps worth noting that young men are not known for their false modesty. These will be the same young men who will happily claim to have slept with 50 lovely ladies while Lara Croft is the closest thing to a scantily-clad-woman they would have seen.

Of course, the people surveyed are UCLA students, which explains the results.

Whoa, a few years ago I took a philosophy course at Pasadena City College taught by Max More, and now he's on the cover of LA Weekly. Small world. He's now doing something with transhumans and extropy or whatever, something about living forever. Weird. He never mentioned anything about transhumans in class. Although we did watch Gattaca once.

To tide you over until the Final Fantasy movie comes out, here's a bunch of shots from the movie.

Went home for the weekend and celebrated Chinese New Year's with my parents. I can't remember the exact date, but I know it's not till later this week. But me, my brother, and all my cousins are at college and can't come back in the middle of the week, so we celebrated Saturday night instead.

Then today I came back around 4:30. Then I went with Irving and Kon to see Snatch at Park Place. I thought it was a very cool movie. Very funny and entertaining, even though the first 20 minutes or so was boring. I wouldn't say it's better than Lock, Stock, and 2 Smoking Barrels though. It's about as good as Lock, Stock was.
