sweet child o' mine
We all know the guitar licks, that turn of a chord as she sifts so swiftly through the tune and the lyrics just come so easily across our tongue... Sure, the vocals are not up to scratch, but we can't blame the guy...he's been through worse days, much worse, before successfully appearing on the stage this time. But, boy, that lead guitarist sure brings back memories...

XMen3: The Last Stand end scene
Damn, now i know why the fan boys were staying behind the other day at the theater...Hidden Scene at the end after end credits. Scene shows Xavier as still being alive as he transferred his mind to the patient he was referring to earlier in the movie.

Allow me to indulge in 1 more you-tube video, seriously, just 1 more
You won't regret it (maybe you will, but it'll be after you view it). Best 6 minutes of Tummy-jiggly barrell of laughs today...

In case anyone else hasn't caught the Prison Break bug yet. For gals: Wentworth Miller is worth your time. For guys: how sick is that tattoo?! Not supposed to advocate illegal downloads (cough*torrent), so go get the DVDs y'all. I heard Japan has the first 2 episodes out already.
pfft, 2 episodes... i can tell you the season finale already

half slice or full?
This one's for Tommy. She asked about the state of her Filet-O-Fish burger a while back, and how the one in UK seem to have only half a slice of cheese. She remembers that the one she had back home in SG had a complete cheese slice. She was also shaken by the curt and swift reply from a certain "someone" from Ronald's office (it was a tad high-handed, no?) about how an individual has no right to take photos in their restaurants and views about their menu need to be verified before everything can be published on a blog, yada yada *yawn*
Never one to disappoint a good pal, i picked up the gauntlet and bought a filet burger (something which i haven't done in ages. somehow it doesn't fill my stomach like the other burgers, or other restaurants)

Lo and behold, its half a slice of cheese (pardon the crappy phone-cam pic, wouldn;t want Mr big-red-shoes to come chasing me out) just as the menu says so!
But i'm still not fully convinced. It still doesn't prove what Tommy and my memories serve to remind, which is that we both had full-slice cheese in our Filet-O-Fish in our younger days. Egads, we might have been bamboozled!

Anyways, here's a game for you fish-fans
Hope that was food for thought for ya, laters!
"Shiloh". cycles. flicks

What lovely timing. The DHL man dropped this off early in the morning - stussy SF x nexus 7 "stoned" tee; and goddess Angie herself gave birth to Shiloh. Lovely.
Great match to my "beauty rulez" N7 shirt as well...all about the gaze, baby.

Tomohiro's N7 has much admiration from me, low-key yet delivers heat time after time with the biggest of collabs and coolest of designs. Peep the very recent (and obscenely rare) R*izm tee:

I'm not much of a cycle freak, but i do like the technical aspects of it, and the challenge on the mind and body it entails. Recently managed to get a hold of this vintage cycling gillet from ape. Simple yet functional

gotta admit, i quite like the tiny detail on the toggles and labels

flicks to catch soon:

Brick: "High school student Brendan Frye prefers to stay an outsider, until the day that his ex-girlfriend, Emily, reaches out to him unexpectedly and then vanishes. Brendan's feelings for her still run deep and he becomes consumed with finding his troubled inamorata..."

A scanner darkly: "Set in a future world where America has lost the war on drugs, an undercover cop, Fred, is one of many agents hooked on the popular drug Substance D, which causes its users to develop split personalities. Fred, for instance, is also Bob, a notorious drug dealer. Along with his superior officers, Fred sets up an elaborate scheme to catch Bob and tear down his operation."

Funny how quickly the weather changes..an hour into the drive to town, it starts pouring. Maybe it was Storm at work, heh heh.

X-Men 3 was pretty entertaining, successfully encompassing quite a few of the popular storylines from the comic book. It was a nice change to finally see the Danger-Room and Wolverine's white-fury in action instead of the safe-for-kids genre in the previous offerings. It was also a very good take on the "cure for mutants" line. It could have gone the cheesy way or over-done with an Oliver Stone kind of high-handedness. It brought across quite well the scriptwriter's focus that could have meant racism or homosexuality in today's world. Well, to me at least. In any case, it is still a bona fide summer movie.

Wore my toasty "Iceman" jacket to the theater. I swear, i didn't buy it for the movie, although a couple of kids probably thought so. When i first bought the Nike White Label jacket, i thought there'd be a wider release. Guess not.

Sneak-peek at my Muji dot-dot boxers, heh

Some Magazine looks from my bounty last weekend:
XLarge looks refreshing this season. Great to see them incorporating the polka dots into their line. Check out the Gravis flip-flop collab...essential.


Glamb is coming across very cool in this editorial. The "loony tunes x last supper" tee on the dude is absolutely fantastic. I did kinda enjoy the critic-proof DVC flick last week, and so was surprised and delighted to see it on a tee print.

Hot Monograms (Sophnet, Polo Ralph and Stussy take the front-line charge); Skulls (PLGLEG- how cute and FCRB);Dots (Resonate rules undoubtably); Camo (Flaph ala Futura Labs) and; All-out Pattern (stussy always comes up big)

I like Nigo's write-up for "girls on Bape" for CoolTrans...mostly coz of the babes (obvs)

The tee is a lil' distracting though...just wished it wasn't so obscenely priced.
