American Idol S8


i've been hooked by the season 8 of American Idol on Fox 8 so far this year. they have a new extravagant stage, and the mix of contestants is flavourful and very likeable, that even Simon Cowell is seen smiling more often than his actual reputation.



i'm placing my bet on Danny Gokey, but Adam Lambert is an obvious contender. the first week's elimination round is already out, but it's still saved in the IQ HD. i'll have to finish that episode of The Mentalist first.



Oh, Casey the Campus Girls model below? She didn't make it past the top 40.


Zatanna in Smallville

"serinda" is apparently tibetan (a musical instrument to be exact), but she is certainly appropriately cast (in the visual department) as Zatanna (a spellcaster who recites her incantations sdrawkcab) in the latest season of Smallville.

she is also apparently the face of Absolute Poker (only heard of WPT and PPT myself), and several TV commercials in the States. maybe she can try being the Scarlet Witch when the Avengers movie come out in 2012?

she's joined by regular cast members (above), as she weaves her charm in the episode, Hex, as per the original character (below). as with a gazillion other tv shows, i have yet to review this episode.

11 incidents that made me hate AA

Spent the weekend in NY recently and flew via American Airlines. If
there is one thing I hate, that's bad service.

The flight back to LHR was extra, extra special because I didn't only
get one bad service, I got 11 of them:

1. Liars - For the return flight I was booked on a connecting flight
via North Carolina. When it was time to board I found out my flight
was delayed. I went to the counter and asked why and the lady said the
departure will be delayed due to bad weather conditions. Five minutes
later it was announced thru the P.A. The flight was delayed because
the plane hasn't arrived yet.

2. Don't care attitude - while one lady (the liar) was trying to find
me another flight, another was giving other passengers the brushing
off attitude. She sent this guy back and forth between two counters!

3. Lack of brains - I found out that I'll miss my connecting flight in
Raleigh-Durham and there was no other flight to london until the
following morning. The only option I have is to get on the next direct
flight to london. But the AA lady said the only place I could to that
is back outside the ticketing office. After walking all the way back
out, the ticketing lady said "they could have issued youthis boarding
pass inside! Why did they tell you to come out?"

4. Airline security - I understand their paranoia ever since the 9/11
incident but going thru security twice in 2.5 hours is too much.

5. More delays - apparently there was some faulty fuse that affects
the instruments. One hour later they found out it was a clogged air
filter. But it is situated in front of the cargo hold and to change it
they needed to take out all the cargo. That's an additional two hour
delay. I've now spent more than eight hours at the airport!

6. More no. 2 - the attendants showed more no care attitude by
spending two hours at the back of the plane chatting. They didn't even
offer peanuts or snacks. Two of them did offer some water to
passengers but the next incident cancels this good deed.

7. Smart ass - while this blonde attendant was pouring drink for
passengers, one passenger asked what was wrong with the plane. The
blonde flight attendant said "if I knew that I wouldn't be a flight
attendant! I'll be an financial investor"...WTF??

8. PA interruptions - everytime they use the PA, they video screen
pauses and it interrupts the movie. The problem here is the normal
staff-to-staff comms us happening over the public PA and it's causing
more interruptions than it is suppose to.

9. Bad entertainment program - not only were there not enough movies
and shows to watch, whoever programmed the system is dumb. I'd be
watching a movie while we wait for take off then after take off the
system resets and says "welcome to American airlines! You can now use
the in flight entertainment system." uhm, helloo! Like I was already
using it!

10. Bad practice - finally we were off and they started serving
drinks. But they are so lazy that they only served the drinks from one
aisle side forcing passengers to reach out and help serve drinks to
other passengers. Not only that, they take your tray even if there is
still food on it.

11. Low quality food - not only quality but presentation is terrible.
It's like those microwave oven meals you get from the supermarket. One
good thing though, they ask if you want drinks many times.

So, I think it is safe to say that I'll be avoiding AA in the future.

Legend Of Chun Li

coming out soon at a theatre near you! Kristin Kreuk stars in the latest take on the StreetFighter mythos. this is akin to Wolverine: Origins, and i'm hoping for a warm reception from fans. the film also stars Michael Clarke Duncan, Taboo from BEP fame, and that choir boy from American Pie. meanwhile, stand by for scenes from the film!






fight!!

Summer of...



...might-as-well-be-69!


Today is likely to be among the hottest on record in Victoria, and the effects of the heatwave are adding up across the state. The weather bureau tells Lou Bennett it's 44 degrees. But he trusts better his own thermometer, rigged up on the back verandah. It says 52.


stay indoor, folks. those dragonflies will be screaming to get in as well.


UPDATE as of 3pm...

Here's something Yahoo! doesn't normally show in the iPhone weather report (at least not in the London reports)...the snow has settled on top of the box.

Weather Board: Melbourne

in keeping up with the London weather forecast of late, here's Melbourne's forecast for tomorrow:
... oh, and it's going to be 39 as well.

New Images for the New Year: Spider-Obama, Sideswipe, Halo Wars

everyone must've heard of this by now, that not only will Obama be known as a champion for the Blackberry (i'm still in the honeymoon period with my Storm), but he was also an avid collector of Spider-Man comics during his formative years. thumbs up for class indeed!
oh lookee here! a replacement for Jazz? could it be Sideswipe for Transformers 2? :D this image was found somewhere in China (it's the new Cybertron, didn't you know?). checkout the new poster here as well. ROLL OUT!!
and now that i've just finished Halo 3 (yeah, so I'm a late bloomer, go sue me!), i'm so looking forward to Halo Wars! Finally, a replacement in my book for Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge (told you so). go get those Scarab legs, they might just taste like chicken!
