Hell yeah. The main concern I had before going to the restaurant was if their food was any good. If it sucked then there goes 200 bucks. The food is good and they have this counter area where you can refill your drinks (ice tea, orange juice or sodas) similar to what Carl's Jr. had back in the day. The place is relatively moderate in size and most seating is set for four people but that can be rearranged for bigger groups. The ambiance music is fitting for the overall genre and the waitstaff were friendly and easy to talk to. The promo only allowed for two pizza variants: Pepperoni or Cheese Overload. I preferred Pepperoni and managed to eat six slices whereas I only ate three of the Cheese Overload flavor. I had hopes that I could at least match the record but I did not realize that the bar would be high - 25 slices; this was the record set in February 2009 when the promo started. There is also a weekly top five ranking ... http://quarkinator.multiply.com/reviews/item/63 Sat, 25 Apr 2009 09:20:03 -0000 Our new mechanical overlord http://quarkinator.multiply.com/journal/item/177/Our_new_mechanical_overlord So the family decided to get a new fan.

It wasn't even bad haha. Just meh time filler bad. Tis a filler movie. Matrix Revolutions looked more Dragon Ball-ish fight wise than this film. The good points: - Jamie Chung (Chi-Chi) is hot. Seriously - Chow Yun Fat. Just because. The meh points: - They really tried to westernize the series just like what might happen to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jafd97yJFOI">Akira</a>. Don't worry, at least that isn't real...yet. - Piccolo concept design. Best I can think up of is Martian Manhunter in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justice_League_of_America_(TV_movie)">live action JLA</a>. Loren from Angel would probably look more convincing (plus more campy). I expected James Marsters to start saying "from beneath you, it devours" but then that would be an entirely different fan base. - Too predictable but I guess it really shouldn't surprise anyone who has seen/read the anime/comics The bad points: - Yamcha - Sequel... http://quarkinator.multiply.com/reviews/item/62 Sat, 11 Apr 2009 11:14:40 -0000 A Shadow of a Dance http://quarkinator.multiply.com/journal/item/176/A_Shadow_of_a_Dance <a href="http://quarkinator.blogspot.com/2009/04/shadow-of-dance.html">http://quarkinator.blogspot.com/2009/04/shadow-of-dance.html</a> http://quarkinator.multiply.com/journal/item/176/A_Shadow_of_a_Dance Fri, 10 Apr 2009 11:31:00 -0000 "You guys don't understand.

I wonder if I'll ever be able to say that here. Transcript One of my daughters was in the workplace one day, and her particular workplace at that moment in time, there were a whole bunch of conservative, older men. And those guys were talking about gay marriage. They were talking about discussions going on across the country. Any my daughter Kate, after listening for about 20 minutes, said to them: You guys don't understand. You've already lost. My generation doesn't care. I think I learned something from my daughter that day, when she said that. And Ive talked with other people about it and that's what I see, Senator McKinley. I see a bunch of people that merely want to profess their love for each other, and want state law to recognize that. Is that so wrong? I don't think that's so wrong. As a matter of fact, last Friday night, I hugged my wife. You know Ive been married for 37 years. I hugged my wife. I felt like our love was just a little more meaningful last Friday night because ... http://quarkinator.multiply.com/journal/item/175/You_guys_dont_understand._Youve_already_lost._My_generation_doesnt_care.

I was hoping to see cars and explosions but someone decided that showcasing acting chops would be an improvement for the franchise; that idea was a bad move. The first few minutes were great but it went downhill from there. Highlights: 1) The racing scenes were fine and the last bit under the tunnels was actually interesting to watch. 2) The movie apparently highlighted the limitations of Vin Diesel as an actor who just came across as really flat compared to his co-actors. He wasn't the only one who came across flat but he really stood out. 3) There was barely any chemistry with the paired up couples onscreen 4) Michelle Rodriguez. Nuff said. Too little screen time http://quarkinator.multiply.com/reviews/item/61 Sun, 5 Apr 2009 11:49:11 -0000 AI 8 Top 9 http://quarkinator.multiply.com/journal/item/174/AI_8_Top_9 Anoop Desai - Caught Up  = lol wut? Megan Joy - Turn Your Lights Down Low = I enjoy her singing voice for some reason Danny Gokey - What Hurts The Most = bad. Scattered. Allison Iraheta -- Don't Speak = was ok, some rough parts near the end. Full song might be interesting to listen to. Scott MacIntyre - Just The Way You Are = was ok, neither here nor there Matt Giraud - You Found Me = skipped. Video won't load and too lazy to look for one. Lil Rounds - Surrender = bad. Didn't build it up well. Disconnect. Federov did it FAR better. Adam Lambert - Play That Funky Music = omg, hahaha. Lambert is glam + awesome = glawsome y'all. Kris Allen - Ain't No Sunshine = best one of the night imho Who I want to be gone based on this week alone? Gokey or Lil Rounds but I doubt that'll happen. http://quarkinator.multiply.com/journal/item/174/AI_8_Top_9 Wed, 1 Apr 2009 13:33:00 -0000 Watchmen - Tales of The Black Freighter http://quarkinator.multiply.com/reviews/item/60 I'm disappointed. Gerard Butler's voice really didn't capture the gravity and insanity of the sea captain's story. The animation was good but the voice didn't deliver effectively. The voice I heard when I read the comics was Anthony http://quarkinator.multiply.com/reviews/item/60 Tue, 31 Mar 2009 14:33:39 -0000 AI 8: Motown week http://quarkinator.multiply.com/journal/item/172/AI_8_Motown_week Matt Giraud - Let's Get It On = Good Kris Allen - How Sweet It Is = ok Scott MacIntyre - You Can't Hurry Love = forgettable Megan Joy - For Once in My Life = her voice is interesting Anoop Desai - Oooo Baby Baby = boring Michael Sarver - Ain't Too Proud to Beg = Didn't watch Lil Rounds - Heatwave = boring, felt disconnect or something Adam Lambert - Tracks of my Tears = Great, still waiting for that one performance though Danny Gokey - Get Ready  = Didn't watch Allison Iraheta - Papa Was A Rolling Stone = I'm just a sucker for that type of female singing voice :D Stripper Guy sounded better with that song last year though. http://quarkinator.multiply.com/journal/item/172/AI_8_Motown_week Thu, 26 Mar 2009 12:30:00 -0000 Money making is a wonderful thing http://quarkinator.multiply.com/journal/item/170/Money_making_is_a_wonderful_thing_ Skunk Anansie featuring Maxim - Carmen Queasy My vision is distorted by my sleazy mind To picturesque an image to control this time My intimate discriminating fears you test My ignorance that truely feels it knows regress You have the power but you keep it all to yourself Your lust is decomposing us The intricate sincerity is choking me Its crumbling and crawling all around my feet It wasn't jump from lie to lie to cover me That credible intelligence evading me You have the power but you keep it all to yourslef Your lust is decomposing us So now you're telling me its all damn easy Try to see yourself as calm and queasy 'Cos money making is a wonderful thing Money making is a wonderful thing I don't wanna be a marketed baby Try to see yourself as calm and queasy 'Cos money making is a wonderful thing Money making is a wonderful thing Carmen Queasy.

Good at best. Allison Irehata - was ok. Vocals sounded disconnected though kinda like Lisa Tucker. Kris Allen - a bit forgettable for me. Adam Lambert - hahahaha. It sounded weird and the wailing portion was hilarious. I think he is holding back on the campness. I still prefer Dilana's version of the Eastern influenced Cash track. Anoop Desai - love that song and he did it pretty well. Probably my favorite of the night. Megan Joy  - She was ok. I'll look for the original song. It sounds interesting. Scott and Alexis' performances wouldn't load so I wasn't able to watch them. Random Note: The European Versions of Idol usually have a better or more interesting selection of songs. Some guy in Dutch (I think) Idol sung Nelly's Hot in Here as one of three songs in the finals. http://quarkinator.multiply.com/journal/item/169/AI_8_Top_11_Country_Week Wed, 18 Mar 2009 11:02:00 -0000 Random Story Quote http://quarkinator.multiply.com/journal/item/168/Random_Story_Quote <pre style="font-style: italic;">Who would choose being something that half the world hates? - Human Condition ---- </pre> http://quarkinator.multiply.com/journal/item/168/Random_Story_Quote Sat, 14 Mar 2009 11:51:00 -0000 For the moment http://quarkinator.multiply.com/journal/item/167/For_the_moment x-posted on: <a style="font-style: italic;font-weight: bold;" href="http://quarkinator.blogspot.com/2009/03/for-moment.html">blogspot</a> We clung together for the moment Knowing someone better was out there It was not acknowledged It was never there And the radio played those songs of ours They veiled the desperation of it all Dolphin's cried, sonnets were broken Interlaced with getting no satisfaction Daggers began floating above us Hinting of things that would never be Of torrents and consequence She never left me and never will == And what does Friendster's horrorscope tell me?

On purely basing it on the movie Anyway, I saw Watchmen yesterday with some friends and it was awesome. There are some instances of flat acting but it got the story across well enough. Don't make the mistake of going in there and comparing it to a cheap super-hero action flick because that would be retarded. The visuals were presented nicely and Dr. Manhattan's effects blended well into the live action bits - his bits dangle by the way, heheh, guess they were going for realism. Also, gratuitous ass shots. It did seem a bit pressed for time and there were clear indications of cut scenes (most notably the sex scene in Archimedes) based on the background music skipping; that's probably due to the local censor board of something though. The background music used was appropriate and fit within the themes of the ... http://quarkinator.multiply.com/reviews/item/59 Sun, 8 Mar 2009 02:30:38 -0000 I love Filipino-interfaced Facebook http://quarkinator.multiply.com/journal/item/164/I_love_Filipino-interfaced_Facebook <a href="http://quarkinator.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SbHOcQoKCCsAAGryli81"><img class="alignmiddleb" src="http://images.quarkinator.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SbHOcQoKCCsAAGryli81/fil-fb.JPG?et=Ljx7sTh4CYAlTtTS9n0vXw&nmid=0" border="0"></a> http://quarkinator.multiply.com/journal/item/164/I_love_Filipino-interfaced_Facebook Sat, 7 Mar 2009 01:30:00 -0000 Barry White Dance http://quarkinator.multiply.com/journal/item/163/Barry_White_Dance I miss Ally http://quarkinator.multiply.com/journal/item/163/Barry_White_Dance Mon, 2 Mar 2009 11:14:00 -0000 A Pinoy 6th Grader's Summary of 2001 Space Odyssey (In Filipino) http://quarkinator.multiply.com/journal/item/162/A_Pinoy_6th_Graders_Summary_of_2001_Space_Odyssey_In_Filipino Pamagat: 2001 Space Odyssey Patnugot: Arthur C.
