Reply to The Mummy 3 Is the Worst Movie I Have Ever Seen in Movies & TV & Books Stardock Forums

I wasn't too thrilled with Indiana Jones and the blah blah blah either. The best part of that movie for me is that I got to watch it in Hong Kong 1 month before it came out in Japan. Also, Hong Kong theaters are kind of cool. They still have ushers helping you to your seat and the best warm caramel popcorn ever. So you loved Transformers, huh? Heh heh. I can see it. The Clone Wars sucked? I was planning on seeing it. I have a pretty h

I read that Rachel Weisz choose not to be in the movie. She is a smart, smart woman. I read somewhere (some movie website) that there were creative differences between her and the movie makers (not sure who particularly). Some people looked at John Hannah's and Brendan Fraser's appearance as a sell-out to dollars. I think they were a bit self-sacrificing and laid a bit of their career at the alter of this movie. I'm glad they participated though. I felt so

The Mummy 3 Is the Worst Movie I Have Ever Seen in Movies & TV & Books JoeUser Forums

Last night I dragged my husband to see Mummy 3 . I had read a few reviews that panned the movie, but I really liked the other two. See? I obviously don't have very high expectations. Then I thought, "hey, lots of other people have seen the movie and how bad can it be?" Answer:very bad. I think the premise had some promise. I enjoyed the idea that the setting was in China. I like that Alex grew up to be an adventurer. Tha

Reply to Poll: Would You Eat This? in Blogging Stardock Forums

I don't know if it is supposed to be runny like that. I don't think so. I think most of the sauces have starch or thickener. At least in my experience. Maybe I can convince Hitoshi to take me to a chinese restaurant we like. It probably won't be hard. He loves that place. The restaurant gets good reviews but it is pretty cheap (basic decor no super expensive ingredients but GREAT food) and the owners haven't catered too much to Japanese taste in the

Reply to Poll: Would You Eat This? in Blogging Stardock Forums

I don't know if this place used additives, but I watched a documentary about a sugar making process that actually makes red/orange sugar. It's what gives the real stuff that color. It comes in chunks not grains like back home. Before that documentary, I always thought that color was fake or from using ketchup. I'm guessing that overseas (meaning not China) that only the more upscale places use that red sugar. What is unappetizing to me is that the

1. My best friend was Jodi but we didn't stay friends for long. 2. Ms. Stinton was my favorite teacher in 7th and 8th grade. She was very nice and we got to do a lot of creative writing. Mr. Marlette was my favorite teacher in High School. Grade 10 honors English. He really introduced me to academic thinking and academic rigor. Also, he gave me some great feedback for the school magazine I contributed a story to. 3. Western Canada Redmen

Dr. Fish Pedicure: Now With Video! in Health & Medicine JoeUser Forums

Today I got a pedicure from a bunch of fish! I went to Sea Paradise, a big aquarium in Yokohama. One part of the rest areas has a cafe with a spot where you can get a pedicure from Dr. Fish! For 1000 yen (about 10 dollars) you get tiny fish to nibble the dead skin off your feet for 10 minutes. I had seen this type of pedicure on TV and at a beauty and spa show. I was pretty excited to try it. The fish are about 3 to 4 cm long and not very

I'm still in love with my spouse. Feelings of irritation certainly wax and wane. Hanging out with him is still my favorite thing to do after 10 years. We both have our own hobbies, but that makes things more interesting. My brother's ex-fiancee used the "I love you but I'm not IN love with you" thing when she broke it off with him. Then about a year later she was engaged to someone who has way more money than he did. Maybe it's all a coincide

Reply to should crappy spelling be a deal breaker in Dating Stardock Forums

When you say bad spelling... how bad is it? If your main method of communication will be writing then I'd think carefully. Tex makes an excellent point. Sometimes I read posts by other people in different places in which not only is the spelling bad, there is little coherent communication. If this guy can still get a message across and it is interesting then go for it. If the spelling is blocking any message getting across, I'd reconsider,

Reply to The Zen of Relationship in Religion Stardock Forums

I was reading your post on Greywar's blog. I suspect that not getting a lot of responses has a lot to do with people not being very familiar with Buddhism and the actual meaning of Zen. I live in a mainly Buddhist country (Japan) and I can't say that living here has taught me more about it. I have been to a lot of nice temples and seen some amazing art. I've read about the Eightfold Path and four truths but can't recall them at the moment (just to illustrate where I

Reply to What happened to JU? in Blog Communities Stardock Forums

I like this format. One thing about the article drop off is that some people were posting a lot of similar articles and I think no one wants to fall in the the same rut. Maybe? I think I do that sometimes but my titles are usually quite different. Maybe. Personally, I am finding the weather a bit hot to think. I also feel in a bit of a rut so I don't have a lot to blog about. I'm trying not to do rants because it puts me in a negative space.</

Reply to Fat-Azzed Moo Gets Back on the Wagon in Life Journals Stardock Forums

I know what you mean about the sugar fix. I read an article online (sorry it was a while ago so no link) about how diet soda changes our brain chemistry. I think it was in February? It's not the chemicals in the soda itself, that causes problems but the fact that our taste receptors tell the brain that sweet stuff is on the way. The brain sends out lots of chemicals to our body so that it can deal with the sugar. But it's sugar free stuff, so we psych out our bodies.

Thanks for the review. Still can't get an iphone until my current phone contract runs out. Based on your review, I see some big problems for iPhone in Japan. A lot of the regular cell phones here have GPS and I understand they are very good. 3G is basic here now so this isn't an upgrade for people here. The lack of copy and paste features is pretty shocking to me. From talking with other people here, this is something that people here find irritating about
