1994, I Remember You
That was a good year for music for the HOchieS. I associate all my favourite albums and bands from that year as being the last of the good years for Alternative and Rock. Even though many of my fond memories and albums may have been from the period 1991-1994, I often associate it all with 1994 because it was the end of greatness in my mind.
Thanks to MC, I'll be missing my last chance to see NIN, for which I have been cursing him out lots. NIN used to be one of my ultimate favourite bands and I will not deny that everything pre and including "The Fragile" was just brilliance on T. Reznor's part, but the sad thing is that I have never seen them in concert.
It's not just NIN I've never seen. I've never seen Stone Temple Pilots either.
It too boggles my mind.
By the way MC, I'm blaming you for not being able to go to see TV on the Radio as well.
Green Day used to be on that list of bands I never saw but must.
And if all goes well on July 28th, I can finally scratch them off.
After another Ticketmaster Debacle of not getting tickets for the MSG July 27th show (in part by my refusing to pay floor ticket prices in section 205 and in part for the entire concert selling out in 12 minutes), Green Day did me a kindness and added another show, not even 2 minutes after my defeat.
So Beetchie, don't forget - July 28th is a Tuesday and we have plans.
It makes me really sad that H1 won't be going.
But maybe she'll be the winner if the Green Day album turns out to sound like rubbish. I've yet to listen but please don't let it be another disgrace of the year much like U2's "No Line on the Horizon".

Midtown Monday: Part I
"A Case of the Mondays"? Hardly.
It may come as a surprise to most but I'm actually a fan of Mondays.
Due to the fact that my brain is still in weekend mode, I don't really process that I'm at work until Tuesday.
My brain's some the times amazing.
So, already having an okay Monday is always made better by a shady pale yellow truck, shady (no need to insert yellow - or golden as Beetchie would say) Asians, and Taiwanese fried chicken with SPECIAL SECRET pork sauce over rice with Chinese mustard greens.
Yeah, you read right.
A new street eats truck called NYC Cravings has been making its way around the city, delivering two things: dumplings of the pork or veggie variety, and the above mentioned yummy fried chicken goodness.
Always eager to try new truck food and have a potential misadventure (you never know until you try!), H1, Alex and I trekked over to 46th & 6th when we were alerted via the midtownlunch blog, to guinea pig some fried chicken.
Unfortunately, you can't really make out the pale yellow from this picture thanks to my camera phone but it's an unmarked van that looks irregular. You can figure out which truck it is.
Oh Lork! I ate from a guy whose hand was THAT close to his nose?! Ahahaha, oh it's only a jest. It was clean. Today is Thursday and I was no where near ill and that scratching of the face was the shyness of a cutie Asian who didn't really want me to take his picture.
See? There's the cutie Asian! The girl who was helping him did not want to be in the picture and ran away but she was a cutie too.
They were anything but shady to tell you the truth (I mean special, secret pork sauce is kind of shady in itself but damned tasty) and were in fact, quite the friendly, sweetie types. It's always refreshing to meet nice Asians. Goodness knows I don't know any of those...Right, Beetchie? Ha.
Their unshady status could all change if we find out for sure if our fears are true - and that is that they may be Bingies. For now, we're going to pretend we didn't stumble upon that potentially true information.
Next Monday we're going back and bringing friends for more good times of crispy chicken, hopefully we'll be able to sample the pork dumplings this time since they only had effin' veggie dumplings, and a little chocolate fortune cookie that did not insult me.
The picture's not going to do it any justice to the meal but I'll post it anyway.
All of this just reminds us that Momma HO used to make the most awesome of Chinese style fried chicken times that we've not eaten in years.
We're working on trying to convince her that she should do that for us soon and so far it isn't working.
Curse you, Momma HO!

NKOTB09
Assaulted for a week by ugly, and for what (for the second time by the same offenders)?
This girl honestly thought we were asking to take pictures of her because we were impressed by her jacket.
If not for her being so damned smug, I would have felt slightly sorry for taking a picture only to make fun, but since she was a biatch then I just feel slightly sorry...for myself, my camera eye and H1.
Also, you can't see the entire sign (click the picture to see it clearly) but it said "California Girls Got The Right Stuff".
This girl - Californian or not, she clearly believes that she's got the right stuff.
Currently: Waiting for my meat pie to finish baking.

Keeping the Town Hippy Free
Oh my Lork.
I saw a hippy today in Manhattan.
A REAL hippy!
A 1960s hippy, hippy!
With a VW mustard yellow van complete with curtains!
Clearly a hippy left the 1960s via a worm hole and ended up in 2009, Manhattan.
Clearly that hippy was lost because Woodstock is waaaay off from Manhattan.
Talk about shock.
You'd be shocked too if you saw this mustard monstrosity driving along admist of black town cars and cabs.
Ugh.
I need to get back to work on the whole eliminate the hippies thing.

S7: 24 HC - 3 AM to 4 AM
This episode was meh. Aims is not convinced that Tony A. is all bad. I might be of that camp as well but wow, did he just take out that dude with the shower lining and then took a shower with the body in there.
That was hardcore.
The President's daugther a murderer? Nice. I hate that biatch.
Also, I would just like to say that the screaming of President Palmer's name by Jack Bauer made me really confused at first, then not so much. That was some awesome acting by Keifer Jack Bauer Sutherland, but I wish he would stop toying with our emotions. It took us years to get over Palmer and we don't need your ass bringing it up again! ::sniff::
And Chloe? Is still hella great. Screw you, MC.
Head Count: 4. That bad acting 'attorney' was confirmed.

From a New York Times article:
By DAVID BARBOZA
Published: April 27, 2009
SHENZHEN, China — The phone’s sleek lines and touch-screen keyboard are unmistakably familiar. So is the logo on the back. But a sales clerk at a sprawling electronic goods market in this Chinese coastal city admits what is clear upon closer inspection: this is not the Apple iPhone; this is the Hi-Phone.
“But it’s just as good,” the clerk says.
Nearby, dozens of other vendors are selling counterfeit Nokia, Motorola and Samsung phones — as well as cheap look-alikes that make no bones about being knockoffs.
“Five years ago, there were no counterfeit phones,” says Xiong Ting, a sales manager at Triquint Semiconductor, a maker of mobile phone parts, while visiting Shenzhen. “You needed a design house. You needed software guys. You needed hardware design. But now, a company with five guys can do it. Within 100 miles of here, you can find all your suppliers.”
Technological advances have allowed hundreds of small Chinese companies, some with as few as 10 employees, to churn out what are known here as shanzhai, or black market, cellphones, often for as little as $20 apiece...
...Nokia, the world’s biggest cellphone maker, says it is working with Beijing to fight counterfeiting. Motorola says much the same. Apple Inc. declined to comment...
...“I saw iPhone pictures on the Web; it’s so cool. But it costs over $500 — too expensive,” says Yang Guibin, 30, an office worker from Chongqing. “So I decided to buy a shanzhai iPhone. I bought it in a digital market here; it looked exactly like the iPhone.”
Some experts say they believe the shanzhai phenomena is about being creative, Chinese style.
“Chinese grass-roots companies are actually very innovative,” says Yu Zhou, a professor at Vassar College. “It’s not so much technology as how they form supply chains and how rapidly they react to new trends.”
While the phones may look like famous brands, companies actually add special features like bigger screens, dual-mode SIM cards (which allow two phone numbers) and even a telescopic lens attachment for the phone’s camera.
Since it is the SIM card that makes a phone run in China, as in most places other than the United States, all you have to do is insert a valid SIM card into a shanzhai phone and it works.
All this innovation comes from an industry that only took off in 2005, after Mediatek, a semiconductor design company from Taiwan, helped significantly reduce the cost and complexity of producing a mobile phone.
Using what experts call a turnkey solution, Mediatek developed a circuit board that could inexpensively integrate the functions of multiple chips, offering start-ups a platform to produce a low-cost mobile phone.
The industry got another boost in 2007, when regulators said companies no longer needed a license to manufacture a cellphone.
That set off a scramble by entrepreneurs in this electronics manufacturing center. Counterfeiting and off-brand knockoffs flourished. Tiny companies would buy a Mediatek chip loaded with software, source other components and ask a factory to assemble them.
Marketing strategies were simple: steal. Designs and brand names were copied identically or simply mimicked. (Sumsung for Samsung or Nckia for Nokia.)
Tapping into the supply chains of big brands is easy, producers say. “It’s really common for factories to do a night shift for other companies,” says Zhang Haizhen, who recently ran a shanzhai company here. “No one will refuse an order if it is over 5,000 mobile phones.”
The people who make fake iPhones admit it’s a shady business.
“We are a kind of illegal producer,” says Zhang Feiyang, whose company, Yuanyang, makes an iPhone clone. “In Shenzhen there are many small mills, hidden. Basically, we can make any type of cellphone.”
The competition is already forcing global brands to lower prices, analysts say. And new Chinese brands are emerging, like Meizu, a would-be Apple that has opened stylish stores here.
“Our phone is even better than the iPhone,” says Liu Zeyu, a Meizu salesman in Shenzhen. “Our goal is to create a phone that makes Chinese proud.”

Buy a Hiphone.
They need the money more.

Observations of the Week: 4/18 - 4/25
We will not eat breakfast if it consist of Banana Nut Cheerios.
H1 and I had that this week for the first time and the worst thing about it is that when the milk soaks up the cheerios, which happens quite quickly, and the cereal gets soggy - it tastes just like mushed bananas.
Gross.

Speaking of Pirates
It's a myth that pirates walk around on a peg legs, have only one eye with the other glass eye covered up by an eye patch, and hang out with parrots.
Introducing my First Mate - Mr. Pirate King Potato Head.
Here he is sporting top of the line pirate boots, four eyes and a frog.
And here he is displaying his booty.
Introducing my First Mate - Mr. Pirate King Potato Head.
Here he is sporting top of the line pirate boots, four eyes and a frog.
And here he is displaying his booty.
Avast, Ye Scurvy Dawgs!
What's with the talk of pirates lately?
Who knew pirates of the High Seas existed?
This just goes to show that certain parts of the world are still cutlassin' over some gold (and suga'cane?) and it is scary.
Don't they know pirating's only reserved for the Internet now? And that stealing from the rich to give to the rich is called "CAPITALISM"?
Serious business these pirates, but it turns out I've been doing a bit of pirating myself these days.
While not on the High Seas, I have taken to stealing from my dawgs to give to myself and H1.
That's right, I declare my Frenemies' Mario Coins in the Name of the HOchieS!
Thus far, I've collected booty from Bughie J. and Aims.
It might be that they'll benefit from my piracy in the long run but that is only due to the fact that I am not a very good pirate.
In fact, I believe the great Pirate Bughie J. somehow managed to trick me into giving him my Club Nintendo login information without my realising my folly!
And that is why he managed to plunder Trinidad in the not so distant past.

Square Butts
I'm just like the rest of you lot. I too have nightmares by watching the Burger King King.
This evening though, when I heard a familiar tune start up, I had to watch the TV.
Before I continue with this story and I may have mentioned it before, H1 often tries to blackmail with embarrassing stories by telling people that my first CD was Sir Mix-A-Lot's album.
That's right, the one with "Baby Got Back".
I was headed in a direction of Frass many years ago but then Stone Temple Pilots converted me, and for that I am thankful.
Even so, I am not ashamed by my ownage of that CD.
That was some goo'd times in my fuzzy memories and let us leave it at that.
Getting back to the story at hand, I heard a familiar sound and that was "Baby Got Back".
Wondering if I had returned to the early months of 1992 (man was I impressionable! Only 3 months later and I was converted to STP and alternative rock! Nice!), I turned to the TV and was greeted by this hot damned mess of a commercial (be warned, this is the extended version and I've not listened yet because I can't find the volume control on Papa HOchie's computer):
I laughed but knew that this was way wrong.
They showed this mess after 9 PM and that was smart on their part because having Spongebob defiled like this makes me a bit ill. A sadistic laughing kind of ill but ill all the same.
It's been 10 years since that sponge has been on and I would like to keep the memories of his antics as yellow clean as he continues to be even after 10 years of use.
One can only imagine what children might think if they saw this.
It's awesomely wrong.
When are we going to Burger King, H1?
[Update @ 10:53 PM]: The Burger King King scares the square crap out of X.

Missing Wesker
Just shy of 3 or so hours, 1 week ago this moment, Bunji and I finished Resident Evil 5.
I have to say that I miss Wesker terribly.
I know he was an ass, kicked my (and Bunji's...mostly Bunji's) asses, and he had a comical voice actor with the exaggerated "Chrrrriiiss" British type accent put on but it was funny to me and I loved him.
That effer did not want to go down. Even in lava he could not be stopped! It took lava and two rocket launchers to the head to do him in and oops, sorry for the spoiler with no spoiler alert for anyone who might be reading it and wanted to play.
So the bastard's gone but I suspect this isn't the last Chris Redfield (Bunji), Jill Valentine (hideous hair dye job or maybe that was the Progeniture virus?), Sheva (me! I'm a hero lady!), Claire Redfield, or Leon Kennedy (he's so lame) will see of Wesker in some form or other, considering there was talk of "Wesker Children".
I also suspect this isn't the last post about Resident Evil 5 nerditure that I have to post. In fact, I know it isn't because I have at least 2 more related posts coming involving zombies and lickers.
Did I mention I miss that ass Bunji too?
Yeah.
I miss him, as well.

S7: 24 HC - 2 AM to 3 AM
2 AM to 3 AM:
How poor of an actress was that woman who played the real lawyer of Jon Voight's? When those people were at the door and she looked like a deer in the headlights, I'm not sure about the crew but I'd say she's a comedian because I sure as hell laughed my ass off.
Seriously, who is this biatch that threatened Jon Voight's family?! Who do you think you are that you could threaten Brangelina? I would threaten Maddox if I were you. That kid looks like he could kick some ass.
Kim Bauer continues to reign stupid. She apparently now has a daughter she named Terri. Why would you ask for a Nina in the future to kill future Teri Bauer? That's just asking for a whole new series of heartache!
I'm sure that Tony A. hates when Jack Bauer plays McGuyver, and that's why he used the "you're paranoid, Jack" card on him. Nice.
The Starkwood/Tony A. Operative covering himself with someone else's blood to get out of the building? Nice, too.
Finally, a flashback from last week - did anyone else notice that rigor mortis set in immediately for Larry Moss? I'm pretty sure not even ten minutes had gone by after Tony A. suffocated his ass. The show is timed in real-time afterall.
Head Count: 3.
How poor of an actress was that woman who played the real lawyer of Jon Voight's? When those people were at the door and she looked like a deer in the headlights, I'm not sure about the crew but I'd say she's a comedian because I sure as hell laughed my ass off.
Seriously, who is this biatch that threatened Jon Voight's family?! Who do you think you are that you could threaten Brangelina? I would threaten Maddox if I were you. That kid looks like he could kick some ass.
Kim Bauer continues to reign stupid. She apparently now has a daughter she named Terri. Why would you ask for a Nina in the future to kill future Teri Bauer? That's just asking for a whole new series of heartache!

S7: 24 HC - 12 AM to 2 AM
12 AM to 1 AM:
Hodges is scary. When Jon Voight acts a psychopath, he really isn't 'acting'. That family is full of crazies! Yep, I'm looking at you Angelina.
That scene when he tossed down that poor Chairman was possibly the scariest thing on TV since the last time Ryan the ass Seacrest was on TV, which would mean since last Wednesday.
And then when that poor Chairman fell unto the blown up map of the World, I laughed. But then I felt really sorry for him again because he landed under the asshole of America - New Jersey. That's what it was, right B.? That'd make sense since NJ certainly does smell like ass.
Head Count: 2.
1 AM to 2 AM:
Kim Bauer wasted my life four about 3 minutes with her face that turned horsey animal variant. She always wastes my life but the nerve of her to waste it with her extra hideousness was just wrong.
So I will admit, that earlier on during the episode when Tony A. was doing a solo op. I questioned whether or not he was going to do it. Out loud I said and to myself so there's no one to verify my cleverness - "is Tony A. going to go traitor on them?"
And this was even before he pulled that guy out from under the base where he had set up the explosive devices - which by the way, I found very strange of him to do. Tony A.? A compassionate man? Hardly.
I'm not surprised by his actions because I never fully believed he was really good even though that's still questionable (sure he killed that ass Larry Moss - and hooray for that! Yay!) but I guess he's got some kind of conscience after all or...doing something...good?
I'm just more concerned that his ass is going to die. I don't want him to die again.
Head Count: 3. That was wrong how that guy head shot the FBI agent though.

You Know What Is Hella' Awesome Though?
This e-mail blog posting is hella' awesome.
I am so impressed right now!
Feeling Extra Hateful
While it is true that I am mostly a hateful biatch at any given moment of the day, I am currently feeling a little bit extra on the hateful behaviour front.
While H1 and I knew it was going to be an awesome show, we didn't need to read that the Flight of the Conchords started the show in robot suits and launched straight into "Too Many Dicks on the Dancefloor".
We also did not need to know that almost every awesome song was played including our favourite "Carol Brown".
We did not need to know that Kristen Schaal had an awesome stand up set as the opening act.
We did not need to know any of these things, and that we missed an awesome FOTC experience because we were already hurting knowing that it would be all these great things and more, and that Ticketmaster effed us over. Again.
Tch.
Currently listening to: H1 Viva Pinata-ing, Setzer (Memory Lane) III texting me, and Luuuuuuiiiiiiisssss watching The Punisher.

Awww, Ulqui
I can't believe you were offed but at least you didn't go out like a punk.
I'm still hating on Tite Kubo.

Crippling Lucca's Mother...Again.
Replaying Chrono Trigger, makes me realise (and Bughie J., I'm sure) that I don't remember much about one of the greatest games I have ever played.
I know it's great because everyone says so, and I did play it almost ten years ago and enjoyed...so why did I just not remember anything about the story?
I guess I was just not paying that close attention and was probably too wrapped up in acquiring that asshole that I adore Magus and being depressed when Bughie J. led me to kill him. On purpose, I might add.
Whatever the reason, I'm once again (of that I'm sure) thoroughly enjoying my replay of this fabulous game on the DS.
I set it to classic mode because DS mode just became way too confusing for my little brain, but the point is - what an incredible, complex story!
The characters are loveable but the story line and attention to details is just absolutely amazing.
It's got everything a person could want! It's got heart, an awesomely timeless soundtrack, time travel, gurus, a festival, comedy, Taban (everything's your fault, ass!), Tata, a nerd, a princess no one could possibly want other than to hate, a pre-historic bad-assed cave woman, a gorf, an asshole prophet, Ozzie, Flea, Slash, a robo, a crono...and a mop!
A mop that I stole!
Make that, a mop that I charmed off the back of some Nu. I was told that this Nu needs it to sweep his flat, so I'll give it back but I keep getting headbutt.
I suppose Nu don't forgive that easily when they've been wronged...uh, charmed.
It also has lots of something a person does not need, and that's heartache.
I'm sorry Lucca's Mom.
Luckily for you, I didn't save and will try again tomorrow.

Like A Loser
Friday happened and I happened upon Nintendo World.
H1 thought it best to not have a "loser" status but I think she was wrong.
I still think I'm a loser, even though I did pre-order. It's the kind of loser feeling one gets from seeing the DSi in stock.
Ah well. I don't like taking chances sometimes.
But man, am I liking my little DSi.
And man, am I a loser for gifts - of the threebie variety!
I know B. is thinking about swiping my little charm thingie there...aren't you, B.?
It's a sad thing when the box is so heavy because of the manual. I'll have to take a picture of that sometime to show just how massive it is. Which DSi camera to use? Bwahahaha. Lame.
You know what's also lame? The DSi trying to blind me!
I turned it on and was not expecting to look upon the sun when I flipped that screen open. I actually had to look away because of that damned backlight but it was pretty frickin' hilarious, in my mind, but not to my eyes.
Little red DS of H1's...you are still awesome!
And it's not just because of your awesomely placed racing flame, either.
But man, did I do a pretty awesome job there.
Ha.
Currently playing on the DSi: Chrono Trigger and watching KRONUS kick the bucket at 6:40 AM this morning. Awwww =(
That game is still the most brilliant thing ever.

Like a Loser?
Usually, I'm on the ball. Well, okay, not always.
But in 2006, the day pre-orders were being taken for the Nintendo Wii, I was on it!
The day I picked it up, a week after its release, I walked in there and claimed my Wii much to the annoyance of people in the store desperately trying to get one.
Just about every day for almost 2 years after that, the line outside Nintendo World for the Wii was long due to the high demand of the Wii and the unavailability of the system. Even on days when those people had no right to be standing on line because it was in stock at other stores, they stood there.
In the cold.
In the rain.
In the hot sun.
In the normal weather. Yeah, sometimes the weather was tolerable.
And every day, H1 and I would pass by and shout out, "You should have pre-ordered!" Eventually we would pass by and say, "Okay, now you're just being lame. Go to Gamestop and get one! It's like a 3 minute walk from here!".
The day has come.
The day I might be the tool waiting in line outside Nintendo to buy a DSi.
Just. like. a. loser.
Now, mind you... I can easily go tomorrow and pre-order. There's still time for that.
I can go on to Amazon and pre-order. There's still time for that.
But I'm hoping against all good sense that a The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks comes out with a limited edition bundle. While I highly doubt it since a golden Triforce (ooo...gaudy) edition was already released for the DS Lite, I'm going to do the something-tells-me-it's-a-stupid-thing stupid thing, and wait.
I know those assholes are going to release one in Japan and not here. Isn't that always the case? Don't the Japanese hate me? Yes, yes they do.
Anyways, come Saturday at Midnight, Nintendo World will be open until 2 AM, so you can be the first to pick up your new DSi, and I won't be one of those people.
If Beetchie were here, we'd make another jaunt of it probably, even though she might trying to "yoink" my new stylish DSi and toss me her Lite.
But it's okay, Beetchie... if Link doesn't pan out, and the rumoured re-release of Final Fantasy VI does, and it comes in a bundle, I'll get that so you can swoon. But! Only if Kefka's on the DSi. I don't want those other effer's on my DSi, unless you know, it's like the Phantom Train, Gau or Edgar Figaro or something.
Thank you.
