Bai Ling: Hot but unnecessary

I'm not a fan. She is hot, and is very recognizable but I never like her characters. Bai Ling ruined and episode of LOST and Entourage. Her role in Crank 2 came pretty close to hurting the movie. I would mention Southland Tales but that sucked for numerous other reasons.

And I don't hate her. I just don't want her in speaking roles.

NFL Opening Weekend

Go Seahawks! Seriously. Last season was tough to watch. This season they added Aaron Curry for defense, interim coach Jim Mora and signed TJ Houshmandzadeh. I'm looking forward to this year. They got some work to do.

Saturday Morning Cartoons: Madballs

I loved this show! Actually I don't remember anything about it, other than I wanted every toy they put out. I had the Baseball and Horned toys at one point. Like many toys, I imagine I lost them or they were thrown out by my parents.

I only remember this show because I noticed the new Madballs game on xbox Live. 800 Microsoft points and the demo has been out for awhile. It's kind of fun but I would rather put my phony points towards Shadow Complex or something.

Saturday Morning Cartoons: Inspector Gadget

Short entry, busy day! But this is an early favorite of mine. Great intro, fun cartoon. It might even be on netflix instant viewing, I might check it out again.

As for the movies, I haven't seen them. But they probably suck.

Michael Jackson finally laid to rest

Rest in peace MJ.

One of the greats, I enjoyed his music. Just posting some final thoughts on the King of Pop. It's been in the media forever and talked about ad nauseum.

Trying to remember my first Michael Jackson memory, I think as a kid it had to be the Beat It music video. Not even sure where music vids were shown back then! I aint that old...but still.

As a kid I just remember trying to imitate his dance moves, watching his creative music vids and enjoying the music. A rare artist that most of my family could all listen to at once.

He put out a lot of hits in the 80s. Of course he had his Jackson 5 career too, which I had not known as a kid. I think I liked J5 more as an adult, my favorite would probably be ABC.

The 90s had some good tracks too. His music video for Jam with Michael Jordan was awesome. So was Remember The Time with Eddie Murphy and Magic Johnson. And how about the most expensive music vid ever-Scream with Janet Jackson.

The Girl is Mine with Paul McCartney and his Invincible album were not his best work but they were still a fun guilty pleasure for me. And to be honest, he did do some crazy shit. I never look past that for a second but the guy is dead. I have no reason to speak ill of him.

Jackson was truly timeless. One time during my maritime training days around 3 years ago, I purchased his 2 disc essential album. (this was pre ipod for me) One of my classmates noticed I had the cds and asked to borrow it-so he could burn it to his computer. I had no problem loaning it out.

Those cds were gone for at least a week. I mean, when I went to pick them back up he loaned it to someone else, and they loaned it to someone else. Those cds were passed around, turns out a lot of people were MJ fans. People of all backgrounds too, Hawaiian, Caucasian, African American. True story!

Anyway, that's all I can say. Jackson will be remembered.

RIP my xbox 360 disk drive

It's not working. Not red ring, it just wont read ANY of my games, dvds, or cds. It was working the other day, I had just finished Fable II.

A year out of warranty, and everything else works fine. (netflix, arcade, navigating menus) Though I kind of wish I had red ring, that could be fixed for no charge. This repair should cost around $100.

At that price, I almost want to just save towards a new model. An Elite or 60 gig. My current model is only a 20 gig and has not filled up yet. Either way will be expensive.

I still have the PS3 to rely on, but my game library is lacking compared to my 360.
