Movin' on up!

Published on 2007-08-13 19:10:00

Just like George and Weezy, I'm movin' on up, to a deluxe domain, on Wordpress. Yes, I'm leaving Blogger and moving to my own domain, http://mythoughtsonstuff.com. (You should be redirected there in about 5 seconds.) Yes, it's been fun and I've made many memories here, but it's time to move on. So update your feed readers and bookmarks, as this will be my final post here. Join me will you?

My thoughts on...the final Harry Potter book

Published on 2007-08-03 16:38:00

As all of civilization knows, Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows, the seventh and final of the series, was released little over three weeks ago. It got a release worthy of a Hollywood movie, and sold a record breaking 8.3 million copies in the U.S. in its first 24 hours of release and 72 million worldwide. All that, despite fundies protesting that Harry is the spawn of Satan and will sodomize their children with his wand. Enough already! Potter ain't evil! In fact, saying that Harry Potter is

My thoughts on...The Simpsons Movie

Published on 2007-07-31 14:49:00

Before I start, just let me say that I FINALLY GOT THE INTERNET! Yesterday evening in fact. Now I can post even more than before! So expect a lot more activity on this blog (if I can manage to wrestle control of my PC from the rest of my family). Springfield's royal family has finally hit the big screen, and there has been a lot of publicity surrounding it, strangest of all a picture of Homer drawn in a field holding a doughnut next to a nude Australian fertility symbol. Maybe Homer wanted to

My thoughts on...social networking sites

Published on 2007-07-25 17:47:00

Before I start, I guess I should explain my absence. My monitor was giving some colour trouble, and I had to send it to the shop for a full 7 days (not counting Saturday and Sunday). Now it's back, and showing better than ever. For the past few days I've been watching CNBC and I've been hearing all about the net worth of social networking sites like MySpace, LinkedIn, Facebook and so on, and the debates as to which will become the next Google, if any. Why are these sites so hot? My guess is beca

My thoughts on...E3 '07

Published on 2007-07-13 16:01:00

Videogames. They defined my childhood as much as Power Rangers and stuck 'n' pull (tag for the Americans out there). So naturally E3 couldn't miss me. But this year's E3 was much different from the ones before it. It was a greatly scaled down version. And when I say scaled down, I mean scaled down. The entire event could hold in last year's Sony booth. No shwag (geek lingo for free promotional stuff), no booth babes (damnit!), no noise, no big displays and no big crowds, as it was invitation onl

My thoughts on...the Thinking Blogger Award

Published on 2007-07-10 14:38:00

If you've been paying attention to my blog, you'll realize that I'm sporting a brand new button in my sidebar, the Thinking Blogger Award. I was granted this award by Ricardo of UNLOADED. His take on my blog: "Let Leon share with you his humorous insights on the hot topics of the day. If it's a big event unfolding in the world of pop culture, he's got his always unique take on it. Lots of fun." Nice dude. I could've taken the gold one, 'cause I love gooold, but silver has a certain understated e

My thoughts on...7-7-7

Published on 2007-07-09 14:28:00

If you didn't realize it, (if so you we're probably living in a cave. If so, welcome to civilization!), Saturday was the seventh day of the seventh month of the seventh year of the new millennium. I heard that some couples were rushing to get married on that day so that their marriages would be prosperous and long. Riiight. I don't think the "luck" of 7-7-7 can stand against an affair with a secretary or a poolboy. The only place 777 means something is in Vegas. And to think, 6-6-6 was just last

My thoughts on...Porno Pizza

Published on 2007-07-05 15:18:00

Over the years, pizza companies have been trying to find various ways to get you to buy their pie. Breadsticks, brownies, cinna-stix, free drinks, free pizzas, free pizza upgrades, special deals on special days, etc. But a new pizza restaurant in Canada just may have the thing to trump them all... Porn.You heard me. Porno Pizza hides pornographic pictures at the bottom of every box of their pizza, which is slowly revealed as you eat each slice. A photo ID is required to enter the establishment

My thoughts on...celebrity obsession

Published on 2007-07-04 15:35:00

Why are people so obsessed with celebrities? Really? I started wondering about this after the whole Paris Hilton media frenzy the other day, which I wanted to post about, but changed my mind in protest to the ridiculous amount of attention she was getting. I mean her release was even covered on Bloomberg! Bloomberg! I know what Paris ate, where she stayed, what she wore, etc after she came out, but I don't know the names of the terrorists involved in the recent attack on London! Whew! Just had t

My thoughts on...the Spice Girls reunion tour

Published on 2007-06-29 18:35:00

With money from alimony and child support suits seemingly unable to sate their appetites, the Spice Girls have reunited for a world tour. Try to contain your enthusiasm. Five years ago, this would've been news, but no one nowadays. The headlines are now dominated by the iPhone and Par...FIGHT IT! Want proof that no one cares? I read the original article on Yahoo! News. At the time, it had NO ratings. None. Ouch! The "girls" have been busy being mothers since the '90s, with Baby Spice pulling a B
