Forget Men, Pussies are Better!
Hah! It’s not what your dirty mind is thinking 
Notice that I’ve been down in the dumps lately. So just to end on a lighter note and start my run uphill, here are some pics of the “pussies” I’ve been laughing at earlier today.
Books, Books, and More Books
I was looking for any copy of the Frog and Toad children’s book series. I used to read Frog and Toad are Friends, Days With Frog and Toad, and Frog and Toad Together again and again when I was a child.
I lost all three books when we moved from a past residence to another house where we are no longer staying in today.
I never found that book, but the store had a whole rack for cheap colorful children’s books. [Image from Childrenstheatre.Org]
Moreover, I found some affordable fiction and non-fiction books of interest:
JAPANESE PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN
if you’ve seen Pirates of the Caribbean, you’d definitely love this miniclip. This is actually an nterview with Johnny Depp in Japan and im pretty sure you’ll enjoy what happened during his interview there…
Ocean’s 13 and Heart Attack
Ocean’s 13 is the 3rd installment of the series following the adventures of Danny Ocean and his gang. I don’t remember much about the first 2 films except that it had the additional star power of Julia Roberts and Catherine Zeta Jones. The plot of the movie is similar to the first 2 and revolves around getting even and taking revenge the Ocean way. I am more interested in how the producers handled the cause of the maneuverings.
The story begins with Reuben (Elliott Gould) striking a deal with Bank (Al Pacino) with the latter double crossing the former. As a result of this problem, Reuben suffers a myocardial infarction and his friends are called in.
Myocardial infarction is otherwise known as heart attack. Elliott Gould got the symptoms right. He was shown rubbing his left shoulder and left arm and later clutching his chest. Although the classic symptom of heart attack is chest pain, it may radiate to the left arm, jaw, etc. A close-up shot also showed him sweating profusely and cold, clammy perspiration is another symptom of a heart attack. Emotional upset may trigger a heart attack as was shown in this case. It would be interesting to review the first 2 films to see if Reuben had other risk factors. Judging from the third film, Reuben had at least the following risk factors – male gender, age, smoking. The movie does not permit us to probe into other traditional risk factors like hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, obesity, lack of physical activity and family history of heart disease.

nymphomation-a review
Do you play Domino? Love Math? Into computer programming? This one might just be for you. This novel by Jeff Noon is all about these things and more.
Domino is played here in a different way. It is played like lottery and the people of Manchester, where the story is set, are all hooked to their TVs, wishing their domino bone is the lucky one.
Instead of a ticket, the people buy domino bone with a special programmed mechanism; it’s dots keep changing until the draw every Friday night. In order to win, your domino bone must match the dots in the costume of Cookie Luck. There will only be one grand prize winner and several minor winners.
The winner doesn’t need to claim his prize. It will be delivered right where he/she is. There are also special prizes. Everyone dreads a double blank because it might mean death. And he/she who wins a double-six get to be the Mr. Million, the man behind the game (Hmm…BigBrother? Banker?). Everyone in Manchester really got crazy over the game. The company actaually had a deal with the government: if the game will be a success in Manchester, it can go national.
2060 the end of the world, says Newton
So many have predicted the end of the world. No one has gotten the exact time yet. Because I think it won’t happen. A 1704 letter that went on show in Jerusalem on Sunday, says otherwise.
Would you believe it? The letter was from the renowned British scientist Sir Isaac Newton, the father of modern physics and astronomy. He predicted that the world would end in 2060. Newton based his prediction on a Biblical text. He studied Alchemy also, the notion that base metals can be turned into gold. Would his intelligence enough to predict the end of our world? Is he accurate in his calculations?
I guess the simple cartoon strip above will explain when will be the END of the world, and it’s near. Let us not take it seriously to when the World will end. Lets just live our lives at its full and enjoy it. Newton has just his predictions. He didn’t know the exact date of the conclusion of everything. Believe. I won’t happen. Otherwise, silver surfer will have our earth as his next target and no Fantastic Four will save us.

Struck by the movie? Yep. It was good. You must see it also.
Spiderman and Silver Suffer are very decisive. They make good and right decisions. What they want to tell us is that “we always have a choice” and it’s our choice which determines our decision/s in life. It also goes with my Friendster’s shout “I know for sure that what we decide on is who we become.”. Our choice. Our Decision. Our Life.
