Yet More Crap
Oh, Winona...
February Something, 2007
Just browsing through stuff I found a listing of a Star Trek episode where "Mr. Spock succumbs to a powerful mating urge and nearly kills Captain Kirk."
I knew the show was progressive, but who knew it was that progressive? Now I have got to find out which episode that was (sources say it was Amok Time, but I think it was a different one, probably Where No Man Has Gone Before, because that is where Spock went).
Woo Hoo!
The Chinese Lunar New Year is just around the corner and I am happy to hear that the “Chinatown” that is just a glorified strip mall here in Austin is having some stuff to celebrate the occasion. Activities include a kid’s area (inflatable bouncy stuff), live international entertainment (last time it was Vietnamese pop singers, I hear Andy Lau is headlining this year- hah, yeah right), martial arts demonstration (see little kids who can kick your ass!), lion and dragon dance performance (these just rock) and tons of door prize give-aways. The door prizes from last time they did something like this was pretty spectacular (they were giving away trips to anywhere in Asia!), the only catch is that you have to sit and wait for like forever while they do their presentations which can get tedious (I can take only so much Vietnamese pop sang to prerecorded music) as they announce the winning raffle tickets.
Still, I am looking forward to the lion and dragon dancers, fireworks going off all over the place, the smell of good Chinese food in the air, little red packets (known to as ang-pow which is what Malaysian Chinese call them, Holly refers to them as something else) and my annual tradition of watching HK movies (what else?).
Too bad there is not a real Chinatown here with places you can get non-bootleg HK flicks for cheap, decent bootlegs of movies that are otherwise not available in Region One DVD’s and other import items. But the MT Supermarket is great for Asian food and for the HK flicks- I would like to thank the laughing Buddha for www.yesasia.com . They have (mostly) free shipping now which is even greater. Now, if only I had $$$ to buy stuff from there. I gotta remember that they have other things there aside from DVD’s, too.
