Fish Sticks and Green Jello

My friend sent me a clip on how to give a proper man hug which he felt was pretty dead on. I watched it but considering I don't need to give man hugs I didn't get as much out of it as some of the other clips on the site. In particular the 'How to eat Sushi' clip attracted my attention. Back when I was in college my Taiwanese friend (with Japanese relatives) taught me how to eat sushi properly. In particular how to eat 'Nigiri'. Since then I haven't seen more than maybe one person eat nigiri in the same way making me wonder if I was indeed eating it correctly or not. Since I pick up the Nigiri with my fingers and eat it versus picking it up with my chopsticks this could be perceived as incorrect. Not so though!

Per the following clip this is indeed the way to eat it. Also I liked the tip on dipping the fish side of it into the soysauce as opposed to the rice side, which makes total sense but once again most people pick it up with their chopsticks and dip the bottom into the soysauce. Another nice tip is what side of the chopsticks to use to pick up fish from the communal plate (other end from which you eat) and where to place your chopsticks when you're not using them (do not lean them on your plate).

Watch and learn!

I jut got into two conversations about this in the last month. The most recent was last Friday. Ian and I agreed that Chris Cornell not only had it going on back in the Soundgarden days (who I saw live in like, 1992) he DEFINITELY has it going on now. Totally do-able in my book. He's up on my super hot older guys list in the second slot, okay maybe first at this point. Hubba hubba. The best part of the following video clip is you get double hotness. Chris Cornell AND Daniel Craig. Get ready to drool.



The song is pretty killer too.

I stumbled across this recently. This kid started making these when he was 5. I can't even keep up with what he's supposed to be doing in the game, it goes by so fast. DDR is really hard too. I have a dance pad and I've tried it. I suck. I found this clip on YouTube, it's one of my favorites of his.

Here's a link to his blog page too. This is loads of entertainment!

His dad must be so proud. :) I want kids that have rhythm AND rule at video games!

Theo posted this on MySpace. I don't get some of the comments like:
Marilyn Manson (dark gay) or George Michael (texan). Texan? Dark Gay? Are those gay music genres? This one was amusing though: Ted Nugent (loincloth)

Although this does appear to be a real site, especially after some more poking around I do wonder a bit if it's fake. Particularly because of their "C.H.O.P.S (Changing Homosexuals Into Ordinary People)" program. It's just too ridiculous:

Religion can be ridiculous at times though.

Maybe this is a guilty pleasure (to my friends probably), but I love Justin Timberlake! I disliked N'Sync, except for one song maybe, but I love solo Justin. I even bought his latest album the day it came out. He's really talented. I mean it! And NO I have NEVER been a 'boy band' fan. I think it's cool to like a wide variety of music. There's so much out there why get stuck on one type?

Anyways he did SNL recently and it was hilarious. I'm sure most of you have seen the 'Dick in a Box' skit. It's spread like wildfire. Just in case you haven't though here's the uncensored version. A must see. I'm also including a few other choice hilarious skits.



I thought 'Homelessville' was even funnier. This is a followup to an earlier show where he did a skit called 'Omletteville'.



Here's 'Omletteville'. Dance Break!



If you're not a JT fan here's a few primer vids for you. His latest album is called 'FutureSex / LoveSounds'.

Here's his first big single off his latest album. 'Sexy Back'. The concept and the way he modified his voice for the song is really cool. He sang the song through a modulator. They didn't do it after the fact.



His latest single, "My Love". This is the video for it.



Here's the live SNL version. Introduced by Cameron Diaz. I read recently they either just broke up or broke up a couple of weeks ago and it just became public (I read perezhilton.com and Pink is the New Blog daily!). They dated for 3 1/2 years or something. This is in line with my theory of "If they don't want to marry you after year two (or one), then they probably never will". I've known a lot of couples who pass a certain point and NEVER get married. You can make that statement say year 3 or 4 but not much more than that. I've also seen quite a few "We were going to break up but we got married instead" couples. They usually lasted through 6 months of marriage then got divorced. This generally occurs after year four. Either that or they are both commitment-phobes (true) or they really didn't break up. Yes yes, who the hell cares. Okay, tangent DONE. Back to the clip!

EDIT: ** This one is longer available. NBC doesn't like their live performances to be out and about on YouTube. **

I like JT's older stuff too but it was even LESS popular to admit that back then. :P That was back when I was a closeted fan.

If you go to youtube.com and type 'Justin Timberlake SNL' you can find all kinds of fun clips. I like the Nick Lachey/Jessica Simpson skit with Jimmy Fallon (another guy who rules!) as Nick and Justin as Jessica. Too funny. I guess you had to watch 'Newlyweds' to think it's funny, or at least be up on current 'celebrity' events.


EDIT: I had to fix this post because (one reason why I hate youtube) some of the videos were no longer available. Bleh. Anyways while I was there finding the link again for the Newlyweds clip I found the original clip. Here you go!

So Hard to Hold was on tonight. That old Rick Springfield movie from the 80's. It's pretty painfully cheesy to watch now but I had every 80's album of his including that soundtrack which I played until the tape wore out. Some of those songs are still pretty good too! I thought about getting the CD again but it's out of print and like $54 bucks on ebay (for the CD not the cassette!). I actually think I may still have some cassettes stored away somewhere but I can't imagine that still being good/playable after all these years. I should dig them up and see what I have. I probably got rid of most of them.

Anyways I remember seeing Rick Springfield in People magazine not long ago and he looks really friggin' good for his age. Like 'amazing', 'i'd totally go out with him even though he's old'. Not that he wasn't already like SUPER HOT in the 80's. He's SUPER HOT in that movie too if you're into Rick Springfield. He still tours actually and he's back on General Hospital too. He's 57. That's almost as old as my Dad. Crazy. He was basically my age when he did that Hard to Hold. I was 13. I remember being a kid thinking that I'd never be able to talk in blocks of ten year periods like, "yeah ten years ago etc". Now I can in blocks of 20. :(

I found this quote by him actually while looking up stuff tonight:
“Maybe I should write a book about it, the way everybody focuses on it!” Springfield says of his appearance. “I've always eaten well and exercised and I love what I'm doing and that helps. I've gone through phases where I've been miserable and looked like crap and I'm a big believer that what's inside shows on the outside.”

Anyways check out Rick Springfield's website and photos and see for yourself.

Or you can watch this cool "Where are they now?" clip I found on You Tube.


If you're really bored check out this Concert Cliff Notes site. It's pretty entertaining and wow the detail. Rabid fans!


Actually now that I'm talking about cheesey 80's movie I remember my Aunt Brenda taking me to see American Anthem and getting the soundtrack for me. That movie had Mitch Gaylord the gymnast in it. It was super cool at the time but watching it now is just painful. I loved the 80's though!

Chris sent me this link. He said, "Don't you wish your pets got along like this??".

Yes indeed I do. If only Olivia would let Toby get away with it. She's way too mean. I'm missing out on hours of entertainment because of her!

Watch THIS.

So I finally got around to trying this thing out. It's pretty slick. I got two vastly different results from slightly different photos. Keep in mind that I'm half caucasian and half asian when viewing these. I see the resemblances more in the first set of results. I bet that means that I identfiy with my white half more or something because even in the second set of photos the first person I thougth that photo might resemble was Hilary Duff. I did grow up with my dad from age 9 on so that might be part of it. Interesting...


These were the first set of results I got. Smiling, no teeth.




Here's a photo I don't really like. What's interesting to note though is the vast difference in look alike results I got. Almost all asians on this one! It's probably picking this up from the shape of my eyes in this photo.




AND......

Since Dave sent me such a perfect headshot photo I ran his too!! :D



You get to pick which 8 of say 10-12 you most look like. Dave's said he also looked 63% like Barry Pepper. I just didn't see much of a resemblance though so I didn't pick it. He also was pegged as a look-alike for Rajneesh. I had no clue who that was until I looked him up so I picked Jake Gyllenhaal instead. Better choice I think. :)



EDIT: The links to the myheritage.com site expired so I did the whole thing again, copied and posted them.
