Bit late update, actually ive been too lazy to update about the worldcup, but Holland made it to the final. WTF?????? Yes a big WTF? Whod expected that? After tonight we will know who will be the opponent. Germany or Spain. Personally I friggin hate spain, but I also hate Germany. However, if we do lose, I hope its by Germany. Germany showed some seriously asskicking this worldcup.
So either we lose and it should be Germany. However if Spain makes it, the chances will grow a few percent for Holland to win. But lets wait and find out. Go Holland!
Who doesn’t love Mortal Kombat? Great games until MK3 and a great movie. YES Im one of the small group that actually LOVED the Mortal Kombat movie. part 2 on the otherhand was HORRID! But some good news on the Mortal Kombat front for the fans. There has actually been a trailer released for the new game, which looks like they are going back to the old style. w00t. And It looks GREAT.
But there is something even better. There are plans for a new Mortal Kombat movie. And this is the pitch trailer they’ve sent in.
Totally f*cking SICK! I hope Warner Bros. picks it up. This could be a KICK ASS movie.
Last week on Japanese Television, a video was broadcasted of actress Erika Sawajiri performing at the Girls Awards 2010.
Lets get this straight. I don’t like the girl, she has an absolutely horrible attitude, the performance was HORRIBLE, BUT I did think she had a nice ass. Watching with the missus I said, “Wow, she does have a nice ass” on which the missus replied: “What??? Are you kidding me? It’s a horrible ass”.
I HATE being wrong so I need your opinion. What do you guys (AND ladies) think. Below you can find 2 embedded videos of the performance where you can clearly see her ass. And let me know what you guys think. Oh yeah you might wanna turn off the volume.
Yesterday I went to my first ever pro-league baseball game in Japan. And it was A W E S O M E. I lurved it. Actually baseball is not huge in Holland and I was never that interested in the game, but since I played it with a friend of mine in Tokyo 5 years ago for fun I started liking it more and more.
Since I live in Osaka, the Osaka team Hanshin Tigers is the one to root for. I’ll have it no other way. The Hanshin Tigers rock. Well except yesterday. Exactly the game I see live and they lose. Hey its NOT my fault, lets get that straight heh.
Japanese sports are soooo very different from European sports. Everybody is so cheerful and happy, EVEN when they lose. That is one of the reasons I seriously HATE sports in Europe. Always hooligans, always drunk (well here too actually hehe) and always fighting. It should be like the sports here in Japan. The thing is, f.e. amongst the hundreds and thousands of Hanshin fans there were a few Hiroshima fans shouting. You CANT do that in Holland. If f.e. a Real fan is amidst of Ajax, Arsenal or Roma fans, it will be his last match. Not here.
My friend and I were actually sitting at the quiet side of the stadium, right across the field was the core of the fans, singing, chanting, waving huge flags. I learned that Hanshin has a few songs/cheers/anthems, but I couldn’t make out any of them, so we just hummed the same sounds heh. Plus they use these 2 plastic bats, smash them together on the beats.
Check it out in the video, not really clear, but in the end you can see some bats being smashed together.
The first 4 innings went smooth, points for both teams. Hanshin Tigers had a bit trouble getting into the game but managed to score 4 points in the 3rd inning. After that it went downhill for Hanshin. for 5 straight innings they didn’t manage to score 1 single point.
BUT, the crowd didn’t give up. Almost at the end of the 6th inning everybody in the audience started inflating balloons. The audience was completely filled with balloons and when the teams changed at the 6 to 7th inning. PWROAP!!!
Thousands of balloons flew in the air. What a friggin nice sight. And it helped. Hanshin Tigers got strength again. from a 5-11 score they score 3 points and made it 8-11. But unfortunately, not enough.
European (soccer)fans should take an example of this. This how sports should be.
Go Tigers.
a crappy video I made with my cellphone. Note to self: bring HD camera next time.
Its already the last day of Golden Week, one of Japans most notorious holidays that simultaneously combines 3 separate holidays in one: “Constitution day, Greenery day and Childrens day“. When people have the chance to get a few more days off around GW it usually causes this and that. That what you get when you live in a country with more than 1 billion people. But no complaining. My GW was busy as f00k! Saturday we started to move into our house. And today, we have moved 99% of the stuff. Today the small pets will follow and saturday our last furniture will arrive.
Glad to finally have our own place. The crib however is pretty noisy. Walls are paper thin and we are living near to a karaoke place, so at midnight we have our chance to enjoy the talented ojisans drunk on sake or beer singing the latest enka songs. But alas, thats life. I cant complain, im just glad we have our own appartment and a nice one at that. WIll put up some pictures when everything is finished.
Now to enjoy my last holidays. The next one is in well…….2 months. sigh.
So we are at episode 5 atm, half of the 10 part miniseries on HBO. And I must say, for me, it’s not as good as I expected. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great documentary/tvshow. But I feel like it’s just not as gripping as Band of Brothers. Band of Brothers for me is still the number 1 miniseries ever made.
Maybe I miss some action or suspense or something. I also don’t feel any connection with the cast members, or maybe the story is not interesting enough.
The Pacific intro is stunning btw. Great motiongraphic design, killer transitions between charcoal drawings and reallife footage and of course great music composed by none other than the master of filmmusic Hans Zimmer himself. Check it out here:
Only 5 more episodes to go, hope I can get to like it more, I really want to.
Also for those of you who didn’t know…just like me of course….enjoy the last month of LOST because Sunday 23rd of May will be the SHOW FINALE (deets). C A N N O T W A I T w00t.
I hardly do these, but this one rocks! Check out the next site to find some awesome email conversations between people. Fake or not, its friggin hilarious.
I firmly believe that Eddie Murphy is one of the best stand up comedians on this planet.
But today not about comedians. its well…..about my house. I have to say OUR house. The missus and I have found our own place and we will move out in 3 weeks. w00t.
Here’s a few shots. Will make better shots when we actually own the place and decorate it
and here’s a quick 3d impression I made for the layout.
