Well I got the miltownkids wiki setup today. I think I’m going to have a lot of fun messing with that. I also watched Ong Bak like I said I would and I was pleased with that movie. Today wasn’t as productive as yesterday I guess. I played RO, messed with the site, watched a few movies (I also watched the first half of Dreamcatcher) and went out for dinner. I gave Master Wang a call to wish him a Happy Teacher’s Day, but he wasn’t home. I did get to talk to his wife for a while though.

What I’m looking forward to most right now is buying a bicycle. Paul said he knows the guy that owns the shop I want to buy from so he’s going to go with me to get it. I guess that’s about all for today.

Just got home from seeing Man On Fire and came away feeling like it was money well spent. I thought the movie flowed nicely and there was never any spots that made me bored or have any other not-so-good feelings about the movie. Actually, I was just planning on staying home today messing with the internet and watching movies, but someone got me out of the house to attend a meeting of some sort (with free beer as an incentive, mom, I only had one). I met another Forumosan friend there and he planned on seeing a movie with yet someone else from the site. So, after the meeting we all met at Warner Cinema and peeped the flick.

Other things I got done today were setting up a blog for our game of Diplomacy. Have a look if you’re interested in playing or curious. I also started a yahoo group for “The Game Club” (dum dum duuuuuuummmm!!!) We’re already up to 1 members. And finally I started work on that wiki I want to setup. I asked for recommendations over on Forumosa.com and decided to use PmWiki. That should be fully setup soon. I had to contact my host’s tech support to change some settings to get it to work.

What the hay! I’ll even post a KTV song (“hold back all the 14 year old girls”) and just leave it in wav format. The quality isn’t so good since it was recorded with my Palm, but it’s better then nothing. It’s the miltownkid rendition of “I Believe I Can Fly” (it took a while to find a site with no pop-ups). I’d be shocked if you could sit through the whole song (I can’t).

I will watch Ong Bak (best site I could find) tomorrow.

Tomorrow (well technically today) is Mid-Autumn Festival (or Moon Festival or something?) so no work and the next day inspectors are coming, so no work. Two days off. ahhhhh…

So I finished Harry Potter book 4. This book was a lot more sinister then the other three. I also thought it was a great build up to book five (I’m glad I don’t have to wait for it to come out). I still haven’t finished watching the 3rd movie, but I still think it was the best one.

I did try to get the music (from KTV) on the site today, but had problems with converting and such. Since I have off tomorrow I’ll get it done then. Also scheduled for tomorrow is setting up a miltownkids wiki and a blog for diplomacy (the current game with me forumosa friends).

Tomorrow also happens to be Teacher’s Day. Well, it’s late. Catch ya on the flip side.

Yesterday mooring I was thinking to myself “Gee, I’d like to master the art of simple living” (what ever that means. Then before I went to sleep last night I decided click the stumble button (which is a pretty cool program) and I happened to stumble upon this site (simple living.net). I’ve only read through a few pages of it’s material, but it seems like a pretty cool site. I’ll let you know what I get out of it.

Met Paul today. He showed me some new dictionaries for the Palm (that I’ll be getting) and a new digital video recorder he got (now I’ll need to get one too). We talked about a bunch of stuff. How much Bush sucks, jacked up things about the US, China reclaiming Taiwan sooner (not later) and making money off the web somehow to name a few things. I drank an Ice Moca Coffee thing (I very rarely drink coffee) and had this peta beef sandwich. Both were good. This was from a place called Doutor Coffee (I pronounced it Dooter/ur).

Before I went and had coffee I got a nice surprise. I went to play my daily game of Striker: 1945 and when I got my change this guy says “It’s your vacation huh?” (in Chinese, I thinks he’s the owner) and I nod and smile. After I’m playing for a few minutes he comes by and gives me an extra 40NT (that equals 8 more games). I say thanks and decide to try and beat the game. I did alright, but got crushed on the eighth stage (what’s up with the spelling of “eighth”, what’s that G all about?)

I never told I sent them, but I got my replies from Sony and Nintendo today (just asked some general questions). They both said they couldn’t help me and directed me to another site so I could get the contact info for Taiwan (except the Sony reps gave me the European site to find the Taiwan site. Someone needs help with geography). Nintendo’s Taiwan contact didn’t have a phone number or website listed. Just an address. So I’ll be footin’ it up there this week camera in hand. I’ll post the emails I got from them tomorrow just for the fun of it.

I also played RO and read some Harry Potter (like I do everyday).

That about does it. Later.

I heard about this site a while ago, but I just started using it today. www.bloglines.com let’s you us the RSS feeds that most blogs have to notify you when someone posts a new blog. That way you don’t have to check everyday (and get disappointed when there’s nothing there).

I’ll be seeing Paul tomorrow (some of you may remember him from the “Sharing” and “May I go to the bathroom” skits).

Nothing very noteworthy happened today. Played a bunch of RO and read the Harry Potter book mostly. I did find out that Nintendo’s new handle held (the Gameboy DS) is coming out soon. I’m actually mildly excited about that (I rarely get excited anymore, unless it’s over something simple like a foot long worm). I also received the link to those Chen style Taiji movies (for your viewing pleasure). I’ve only watched the 2 push hands movies on the bottom thus far (I really liked the first one). I’ll check the rest of them out sooner or later.

Here a week has gone by with no clips or new pictures from KTV. Well, I doubt anybody was REALLY looking forward to them. I still have them and they’ll still be coming.

’till next time.
