TV

TV is my life. It is in my blood, seriously. Recently my mom just revealed to me that when she and my dad first got married, that's what they did, watching tv at home. I love that anecdote, bears meaning to my existence.

Summer TV officially started on May 22nd, 7pm PST; when So You Think You Can Dance Season 4 started its LA auditions on channel 9. Loved every part of it. However, I will refrain from gushing till the Top 20.

Another summer pastime that seem somewhat interesting is "Human Tetris" and "I Survived Japanese Game Show". Both, from what I can gather, are based on people making fools of themselves on Japanese game shows. Youtube it, Japanese game shows are freakin' hilarious. Probably for the first couple episodes, then I will probably grow weary of it. Such is life.

Other than that, my life has no significance. Ciao.

I heart RDj

Iron Man came out last weekend, but I did not get a chance to go see it till today. I've always loved Robert Downey Jr., but this movie, this character, is all him. Tony Stark's lifestyle and personality all speak to RDJ's own past, making him extremely fitting for this role; and of course his good looks and charm win points as well. If you are a fan of Robert Downey Jr. then you must watch this movie, that's all I have to say.

The movie itself I thought was good. Not great, but good. Jon Favreau's appearance throughout the film I thought was cute. Jeff Bridge's villain is simple yet effective. The visual effects and costume design were awesome. Iron Man is a very basic, down-to-earth comic book turned movie kind of film, but it wins in its simplicity. I thought this would be this year's Transformers, but it's so much more, because of RDJ's Tony Stark.

As for me, aside from the obvious infatuation with RDJ., nothing's been happening. Getting a week off soon but not doing anything. We'll see if I can stand staying at home for a week.
