Bringing in the cowbells

For those of you who think Maggie Wilson is marrying too young (21 years old!), here she is out to prove that not only is she of marrying age, but also of age to ... whatever she is trying to do here.

Here is what Maggie Wilson has to say to those who do not approve of her prenuptial video with fiance Victor Consunji (32 years old):

"We wanted to revolutionize wedding videos," sabi ng 21-year-old actress. "Kasi halos lahat ng wedding videos, puro pa-cute, puro pa-sweet, and we wanted to do something different. Yung nakakaintriga talaga. And then, the original reaction that we wanted to get from the people is we want to make them feel uncomfortable."

From different sites I went to, it looks like more people like it than not.

The context is prenuptial, so it boggles the mind how people can find this video romantic, or that they would feel that a prenuptial video can be sensual exclusively, and not romantic. Maggie Wilson says their parents love it, so it makes you wonder what their parents are like. As in, How young? Were they from Woodstock?

Also, how comfortable would they be in showing this to their children in the future?

Alien Zapper does not think it revolutionary, as it is as bride-centric as all the other prenuptial videos out there. Your thoughts?

Dumb and Dumberer

Bad: somebody who cuts in line.

Also bad: the cashier who lets someone cut in line.

Worse: the one who got cut, who allows himself to be treated like a doormat.

Worst: the one who cuts in line. 

My Precccious

It's almost the end of the year and I have not yet watched The Lord of the Rings. 

It's been an annual tradition I've been keeping since 2004, and I don't want to start missing it this year.

What's keeping me are the crazy office schedules I, along with everybody else, have to follow.

My devotion cannot be stopped. There are four more days to 2008, and I will find time.

Maybe I ought to send a troll or a band of orcs to the manager.

Warped by Time

Work has been murder these past few days.

I had been working 11.5-hour shifts and I'm ripe for a nonstop 15-hour sleep. This is mandated by the company, so everybody's stress levels and states of discontent are reaching new heights.

We're not Cylons, you know.

I've had some time, though, to do some recreation.

For one, I've started watching the fourth season of Futurama. The first episode involves the gang going back in time to Roswell in the 1940s. Fry must guard his grandfather's life or else he will change the course of history and he would cease to exist. Fry exercises his mission with so much zeal that his grandfather is killed. He thinks, If I killed my grandpa, how can I still be here? So he thinks his grandfather's girlfriend can't be his grandma, and proceeds to sleep with her. Consequently, he becomes his own grandfather and grandson at the same time.

This reminds me of The Terminator....
