Right now however, I want to share with you some funny little email snippets I got from Juli. Hilarious!

Elementary, My Dear Watson
Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson go on a camping trip, set up their tent, and fall asleep. Some hours later, Holmes wakes his faithful friend.

"Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see."

Watson replies, "I see millions of stars."

"What does that tell you?"

Watson ponders for a minute. "Astronomically speaking, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo. Timewise, it appears to be approximately a quarter past three. Theologically, it's evident the Lord is all-powerful and we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you?"

Holmes is silent for a moment, then speaks. "Watson, you idiot, someone has stolen our tent."

Man of Her Dreams
Susan was in her late thirties and still not married. She just had a hard time meeting men. And the men she did meet all ended up to be jerks. Finally, she decided to place an ad in the personals in the newspaper.

She wrote: "Looking for a man who won't beat me, won't leave me, won't look at other women and is excellent in bed."

Several days went by and she hadn't gotten a single call. Then, one day she was doing her laundry when she heard her doorbell ring. She went to answer it and, as she opened the door, she saw a blind man in a wheelchair with no arms and no legs. "Can I help you?" she asked.

He said, "I am the man of your dreams!"

She was baffled. She said, "Excuse me?"

"I read your personal ad in the paper and I am the perfect man for you."

The woman incomplete shock then exclaimed, "but you have no arms!"

"I have no arms, therefore I cannot beat you." the man replied.

"And you have no legs!" she exclaimed again.

"I have no legs, so I can never leave you." he answered.

"How could you be the man of my dreams, you cannot even see?" she said sounding exasperated.

"I cannot see therefore I will not look at other women or fool around behind your back." he smiled.

The woman thought for a second more and then asked, "But are you good in bed?"

And with a sly grin he replied, "How do you think I was able to ring your doorbell?"

Some people you should check out
(Not necessarily in order of greatness mind you... just some people that have caught my eye over the past couple of weeks and who deserve a look see and who are all PINOY!)

There is so much yet to do. After seeing how awesome so many people's galleries are, it's no wonder there are thousands upon thousands of new art every day... I have to admit, I've 'ed a lot of people already... and still I can't find the time to check out everybody.

I do have my moods though, and sometimes like when I first started in DA, I can go for hours just browsing and browsing... my internet at home is too slow for my tastes... and it's starting to piss me of because I run out of time cheking out everybody!

Since I've been so out of it, I guess I'll have to virtually start over. My groups don't know I exist, some of my DA aqcuaintances no longer log in, and I'm afraid that if I start to get active again, I'll get into another slump and just... *poof*

So this will be like my Return of the Comeback Part 2... expect to see more updates. Probably as regular as my Multiply account.

I am however never going to be out of this lot, so this is the first icon in my journal, as always... Proid to be ~ noypi

EDIT: I am fixing my friendlist... sorting and stuff... since I am O.C. when it comes to that... si if my name comes up again as adding you to my list... well that's probably what's happening... YEY!

Posted something new! Finally! Look at the dates of my journal... last entry was August 23, 2004... whew!

Not even sure if there is such a word. But I use it all the time... hehehehe. Hmm... must check the dictionary for specifics.

Found it!

Deviance noun The condition of being abnormal:
aberrance, aberrancy, aberration, abnormality, anomaly, deviancy, deviation, irregularity, preternaturalness, unnaturalness.

Ok, it sounds a bit unnatural and insulting to be called abnormal… but it sounds much cooler to be called a deviant. Hehehe…

And that’s what happened Saturday afternoon. Pinoy Deviants got together for a little quality time together, and shared their tips, skillz and deviations with each other. It was a lot of fun, even if that “pleasant guard“ kept pestering us to leave, it was still alright. You could tell there was so much talent around and so much enthusiasm to create amazing things out of nothing, because in every corner of the DevMeet, you’d see people digging in to each other’s work, sketching samples and drafts, talking about all things related.

Hopefully, the next time we meet we’ll be in a more conducive venue. I’ve already offered our office and multi-purpose board room to ~popazrael and ~minsan, so the next time we decide to have a workshop for all those budding artists, we’ll have a decent place to work in, and no security manongs to breathe down our necks.

It was great seeing the real faces behind the fabulous Deviations on DA. Maybe now we can get more people to come out in the future, and maybe have a bigger even exclusively for Deviants and Deviance.

I uploaded pictures in my Multiply photo album. Check out how wacky and weird some of the artists are… hehehe…

I should have figured it out from the start. What with a cheesy tagline like “Whoever Wins, we lose” and a lousy acronym for its title, I should’ve read the context clues and immediately determined that it would be a waste of time and money.

AVP, or so aptly named, Aliens vs. Predator (or better yet, Agonizing and Vituperatively Painstaking), was a masterpiece in failure. The story was so poorly constructed and full of obvious loopholes and lapses in character, and the action was only interesting enough to be gory.

I mean, the idea that these pyramids where these battles were conducted to initiate a predator-being into warriorhood came from ancient civilizations is completely, and nonsensically farce! I mean, if the Aztecs and the Egyptians and the what was the other ancient civilization came together to build these things to “revere” the predator race, wouldn’t it have come up in some form of ancient text? Wouldn’t it have at least been like some sort of theory or long-held superstition by the archeologists that came with the expedition?

I mean, it tried to be interesting by mixing and matching “specialists” from different fields of study, like a super genius bio chemist or something, to a world-renowned archeologist to a skilled ice expedition trekker-slash-guide… but the character development and background story (not to mention each character’s involvement in the progression of the story itself) was so lacking that it failed to fill the lapses in the story and kept me wanting so much more.

I mean come on… they did establish that the archeologist dude was well-versed in ancient text... but they themselves said that the writings and hieroglyphs in the place were from the three different civilizations… and the guy could read it all and thus give away the whole plot in one sitting… gee-zus what the hell was the director thinking?!

I admit, seeing Aliens battle it out with the Predators was very cool, but everytime the movie came back to the characters it just reeked of unprofessional screenplay writing. I mean, even if I was an idiot with an IQ of a 2 year old buffalo named Bubbles I’d still think the story was stupid!

The one thing that could’ve made my day was seeing Lance Henriksen do something cool versus the Aliens, thus establishing his foothold as the model for a new line of cybernetic human beings for the future… namely a Cyborg named Bishop. They only hinted that he was the father of robotics by showing, for a split second mind you, a magazine on robotics with his face on the cover and the heading reading something like this dude is the revolutionary new robotics whatchamacallit.

I mean, it even lacked romance… which is essential for a B movie action flick… it could’ve drawn more crowds if maybe the other characters that died immediately showed their boobs or something. Call me chauvinistic, but Hollywood’s losing its touch with the testosterone-driven, male-dominated market for action flicks.

In sum, AVP failed to even pique my interest. The story was wholly predictable and completely implausible, the cast, entirely blasé, and the action, uninterestingly ho-hum. It had its few movie moments, like when the bio chemist dude was already entangled and then the things started to you know… (hehehe… no spoilers here folks, sorry!)… well, that was a moment built for the B movie history books. But even the action sequences which humiliatingly and pathetically tried to John Woo-slash-Matrix its way into extravagance, flopped miserably and only made it look like a cheap photocopy of an already overused original.

I only rank it at 2 stars because, mercifully, it comes with a Hollywood ending (complete with twist and that tried-and-tested formula of leaving you with more excitement, or a bad taste in your mouth, which ever comes first), it showed some awesome cloaking special effects and brutally effective weapons and high class alien-predator gore, and lastly, because Lance Henriksen was in it.

In the end, I am left with only Bishop’s final words to Ripley… “Not bad for a human…” Not bad is right… it should actually be “terrible”, “lousy” and “garbage of a movie”!

P.S. If the director or the writer gets dragged out into the street and shot I won’t be at all surprised.
