All Fools Day

Good thing I realized that today is April Fool's Day yesterday. Haven't been fooled yet by any websites. Dattebayo got me good 2 years ago with the transformation of their websites into an American legal something site (don't remember what it was)

Have you been fooled?

This is the reason why....

This is the reason why never to let Americans make an adaption to Asian stories. *points to The Legend of Chun Li* Although I have not seen the movie, I DON'T plan on spending money to see it, as to reading the negative reviews and critics that the movie have received. I fear that Kristen Kreuk has been typed cast as Lana Lang. Not to mention that I don't think I can imagine her as our favorite Street Figther, Chun Li.

Although I'm not saying that all adaptions of Asian stories are bad because I haven't seen them all. But when growing up on Saban's Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (yes, you heard me) and comparing it to the now own Disney Power Rangers, I have to say that if Disney can't pull off a good adaption (or not make it a carbon copy of Sentai) of a kids show (Power Rangers are based on Toei's Super Sentai) and Disney's been successful for copying stuff for who knows how long, it's not much anyone else can do. Well, maybe the Wang Brothers (the people behind Kamen Rider Dragon Knight) can, but I haven't seen KRDK, but a friend of mine says it's ok.

So, enough of my bashing of American directors making bad adaptions. (I'm Vietnamese American living in CA btw) I'm just saying it's best to leave movie/shows/anime adaption from manga/videogames (or vise versa) to the country of origin. I personally love the way they made Cutie Honey the Live and Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon into a live action series. Although the effects weren't super high tech, the story and character development was GREAT. It isn't about the effects *stares at Power Ranger's over use of explosions* but the way it's carried out and how the characters grow.

OMG... I am officially FREAKING out.

I'm freaking out cause I have a Chemistry midterm tomorrow (Friday). And I barely finished reading chapter 6 2 hours ago and I'm reviewing the other chapters. This midterm is ch 4-6. Normally, I wouldn't have a problem, but Chem is alot of work. It needs to be worth more units! It's not worth 5 units, it's more. Lab Reports due every week and Quizzes every week too. Now, I can handle work like this, BUT when the professor can't teach shit and he can't teach shit, it's horrible!!! HE CAN'T TEACHER AT ALL! Whatever he says in Lec, it's not on the midterm. Lab and Rec teachers are different, so that's easy points since I chose good teachers. OMG OMG OMG!!!!!

Internet Problem

So I'm finally writing again.

I SWEAR TO GOD, I WANT MY OLD MAN TO LEAVE ME ALONE!!!! "Do this, do that," shut the fuck up! He thinks he's "Mister I Know How To Do Everything Better Than You." I just got off the phone with AT&T Internet Tech support, after TWO HOURS of playing phone tag. And he's BITCHING that I didn't do anything. I fuckin did everything and told the tech support guy asked of me.



Tech guy: What's your problem?
Neko: My internet isn't working.
Tech guy: Can you tell me what modem you are using?
Neko: 2WIRE
Tech guy: Have you tried resetting the modem?
Neko: Yes.
Tech guy: Let's try it again.
Neko: Ok.

*resets modem*

Tech guy: Now how many lights do you see?
Neko: 4 lights, two flashing, the internet one and the wireless one.
Tech guy: Let me run some tests and I'll get back to you.
Neko: Ok.

*runs tests*

Tech guy: I'm going to send an inqury to AT&T and have them check the surrounding to see if the signal is sending to the area and to see if the signal is being sent from the server. You should be receiving a phone call tomorrow morning.
Neko: Ok.


Tuesday
*receives phone call from machine*
*calls number stated on machine*

Neko: Hi, my internet is still not working, and I was wondering what's the status.
*Tech guy checks status*
Tech guy: Someone was sent to the area and nothing was wrong. A test was done on the main server, but it was the wrong test. I'll send someone to do the correct test. You should have internet this afternoon.


5pm
*Neko calls to check status cause there's no internet*
Tech guy: I see that there is something wrong with the connection, but the server is
sending out signal. I can send a tech guy to check out your home on....Monday.
Neko: Monday? Is that the earliest?
Tech guy: Yes.
Neko: I called earlier today and he said "Blah blah blah about the Internet..." (don't remember the actual conversation.)
Tech guy: I'm sorry about the inconvenice, but Monday is the earliest that we can send someone to check out your surroundings.
Neko:...Ok then...



So, I finally got Internet last Monday. God, I hate playing phone tag. And I hate my old man. He can't even do ANYTHING even when the my mom ask for a Vietnamese person to talk to. *ugh*

Twilight

I can't wait for this movie. *just finished reading all 4 books to the series*
