Sense and Sensitivity

I was in the breakroom yesterday when two girls walked in. The one seemed unusually distraught, and from what I can gather had had a major fallout with her boyfriend.
“He can be such an oaf. I wish he was more sensitive to my needs”, I heard her whine as they went about making coffee.
That was [...]

Eensy Weensy Spider

I don’t usually review movies on this blog, but since I am running low on inspiration I thought I may as well share my thoughts on Spiderman 3.
A mate and I went to see Spiderman 3 the night before my (un)fortunate gym accident. [S] couldn’t go because she had a major report to complete. [...]

Pain dot com

I am in a considerable amount of pain right now.
You see, I went to the gym last night and pulled a muscle in my thigh. It is the price you pay for not warming up well enough before attempting the super circuit.
Every muscle, nerve-ending, and fibre in my thigh is screaming bloody blue murder! I [...]

Something new

I am trying something new on my blog by posting a video from YouTube. It has been viewed 306,579 times.
Plot: An obnoxious young man refuses to let an old man (82-yrs old?) sit in an empty seat on a crowded Hong Kong bus, and uses it to stow his shopping bags instead.
It starts with a [...]

Guy 1: You are my saviour.
Guy 2: Yep, I’m your Jesus.

Sometimes I think…

[Somewhat introspective post. Normal blogging will resume on Monday]
I rarely blog about my siblings (we are 4 children). It is not that I don’t want to. My reasons are purely selfish; I don’t need the competition. This is my blog dammit!
I will however make an exception in this case as a telephone call from my [...]

Saturnine and dour?

Today I angered my boss… or perhaps he was just being himself. I can’t decide if there is a difference.
He said I appeared sullen and lazy. I wanted to tell him that this is, in fact, exactly how I felt, but I did not want to appear that way to him. I’m not saying that [...]

Shortlived father and son conversations

Parents. It does not matter how old you are, there are certain conversations that you do not want to have with your father… or mother. They are however inevitable and they will occur when you least expect it. Like the one you had with them about the birds and the bees. To say that it [...]

The wonders of modern medicine or marketing gone wrong?

Someone clearly needs to take a serious look at the tagline to this image on the myspace page for The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.
Hmmm… an animated foreskin?! Can’t say I am all that interested in getting one. Mind you, I wonder if it comes in Jessica Alba aka The Invisible Woman? Just [...]

They say the darndest things

Yesterday afternoon I got stuck in a supermarket line behind an elderly woman.
I think that if I were to add up all the time that I’ve spent waiting in supermarket lines, it would roughly add up to the first five years of my life.
After ten minutes of standing still the line moved, but that was [...]
