The Incredible Hulk

6 07 2008

Last night my sister and I went for the late show of The Incredible Hulk at the Avenues theaters, the movie was really good as I expected but I didn’t expect it to be this good. the character of the Hulk was well acted in my opinion, Betty (Liv Tylor) was really hot so you really can’t go wrong with that.

The story was pretty good even though I think some flaw could have been avoided.

my over all impression about this movie is that I will sure have it in my DVD collection once it comes out. that being said, it means the movie is really good since I don’t have much room in my DVD stand for me to collect every bullshit movie I watch.




MacBook Air’s Envelope

6 07 2008

Do you guys remember when Steve Jobs (Apple’s CEO) unveiled the MacBook air? that sexy things being pulled out of an envelope? well.. now you can get your self a case that looks just like that envelope for about $50 from Timbuk2

Whats also interesting about this envelope is that it’s made from a recycled PET (plastic bottles), which makes you environmentally friendly.




Most Expensive Qur’an

2 07 2008

I came across an interesting most-expensive item today.. The Holly Qu’ran! this Qu’ran was sold in an auction on behalf of the Hispanic Society of America for over $2,300,000. this Qur’an is dated to 1203 CE.

Whats remarkable about this copy of the Holly Qur’an is the golden and silver writing of it. supposedly this is the oldest complete gold written Qur’an on earth now.

Oil, what the hell?

30 06 2008

As most of you are hearing, Oil prices have been surging day after day in the past 2 years or so. even though it’s justified that oil prices will go up I didn’t see it happening that it will reach a price of as high as $143 per barrel and expected to reach $170 by year end according to some analysts.

What i’m wonder is how people “especially” in the US and Europe are handling that. I remember when I first moved to the states back in 2001 I used to pay something around $25 to fill my car tank, and 5 years after than in 2006 I filled the same damn car with the same gas grade for $55, that’s 2.2 times the price in just 5 years or less! According to today’s gas prices (where oil is trading at $143) it would cost me a little more than $70 to fill the tank. oh and it’s not an SUV, it’s the BMW 325Ci.

This high oil prices might be good to some economies such as the members of OPEC, but is it really fair for the rest of the economies and consumers?

 




Tic-Tac-Toe

30 06 2008

Now this lego Tic Tac Toe is awesome! as a start you don’t have to waste so many papers to play few games, plus it’s really cool looking. the game consist of the lego board and 10 figures of which 5 are policemen and 5 are robbers. and it’s not that expensive either, it costs $18. sounds like a good gift to me.




Astronaut Training Experience

29 06 2008

I was surfing the net trying to kill some time before I sleep and I found this experience which reminded me of blogger who want to be an Astronaunt , so this post goes out to.

The Kennedy space center in Florida is offering training course that costs $250 per person for the all day course which includes mission simulation in a real side shuttle and a VIP tour of the Kennedy Space Center.

sounds like an interesting experience to me especially that I will probably not read the moon or go to space.

Scrubs is back on ABC!

29 06 2008

Scrubs will be airing for one more season! seasons 8 should be produced by ABC though.. thats good so I can get it on iTunes.

lets hope after all they decide there will be season 9 instead of finishing the series only with 8 season. scrubs is by far my favorite show, can’t wait for it to start.
