GOOOOOOOO DAWGS! SICK EM! WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF!

COLLEGE FOOTBALL HAS STARTED!!!!!!!!!

"no matter what i say it draws controversy, it's sorta like the abortion issue."

that's just a little taste of this wonderful documentary, the king of kong: a fist full of quarters. it is a story of good vs. evil. david vs. goliath. ktl vs. hipsters. a story about the world record holder of donkey kong and a challenger. it's campy and cheesy and too awesome for words. I had to remind myself several times during the movie that these were not actors, that someone really said "i have 'no surrender' on my cell phone". he is a real life dwight k shrute.

sidenote:
i've also started watching "how i meet your mother" and alyson hannigan has made it into my top 5. and if you're wondering who is in my top 5:

1. jennifer connelly















2. jennifer love hewitt




















3. patricia heaton














4. alyson hannigan




















5. heather graham
















heather graham is also a late addition, but she holds 5th place fending off the likes of selma hayek, alessandra ambrossio, linda cardellini, and jenna fischer.

and my man crush goes to: topher grace
he took the coveted spot from john cusack, who held the title since its inception in 1985. but the dark horse candidate is zach braff, whose comic stylings in scrubs and the loveable hero in garden state, propelled him up the list.

and i have bought a lotto ticket for the 325 million jackpot. and im sorry for everyone who has already purchased one, i've already picked out the winner.

some pics i've been meaning to put up here

so i lied to you. i couldn't find the pics yesterday, but here they are today. and ill put some more up tomorrow. have fun looking and judging silently.

these are pictures from our honeymoon to st. thomas

**update** i don't know why but the orginal pictures were deleted, so i think these were the same ones.

WHAT?! two posts in two days?!

yes people. i have begun to post more, so check back here if you want to know about mah life.

i'm at work right now at a new job. i was at an investment firm and now i'm at a credit card company. i left bc i didnt want them and they didn't want me (or so they thought) a couple of days later, they said "plz ktl, we need your asian skillz"....but i said "HELLLZ NO!" and drove away in my souped up civic with my banana republic clothes ruffling in the wind. the one thing i do miss about my old job are my co-workers. i sat next to arsenal "suction" astoria, and in front of activated charcoal and bronx-ess "ace of cakes" cormier. man, we had some good times. we laughed; we cried; it was better than cats. i can now say they are my favorite co-workers of all time, and i will openly weep for having to leave.

but now, i get to have lunch with another friend of mine. we will call him chocolate bear. because he is the turk to my jd. and if you don't watch scrubs, ya ought to. but unfortunately, we work on different floors. We do eat lunch together everyday and that is slightly homosexual of us, but i'm slightly into doods. another reason i eat lunch with him is because i don't really talk to anyone on my own floor. they're nice people just a little too old for me to talk with. i don't think they would take my obscenely racist humor too well. also, something awesome me and cb did today.....we played wii tennis at work. our company set up a little thing in the lobby for the employees to promote the us open. we got a free company bag, with binoculars and a lil wii tennis, which we tied at....i might enjoy this place after all.

and i know i'm gonna blow some minds, but when i get home i'm gonna post up some random pics that i've been meaning to get up here. so that will be two post in the same day....i know most of you just peed your pants, and the rest of you will eventually do it.

the hipster touch and other rants

why do you hate hipsters so much ktl?

well, to be honest, actual hipsters i don't hate. they make fun new music, cutting edge art, writing, and other creative outlets that brighten up the city. who i really hate are those who pretend to be hipsters. they dress up in $30 "vintage" t-shirts, faux-hawks, bring the "too cool for school" attitude, and a sense of entitlement. they ride $1500 fixed gear bikes because its the cool thing to do, bringing shame to all those riders who have actually owned fixed-geared bikes before 2000. and they follow all the real artist wherever they go. pushing up rent and making life unbearable for everyone in the neighborhood, and eventually forcing out all the real hipsters.

but mainly i hate them because whatever these pseudo-hipsters touch turns to shit. the anti-midas. some examples include the lower east side, williamsburg, and now they have touched something which i love dearly, the red hook ball fields. the health dept of ny will soon be shutting my favorite sat/sunday activity and my source for the best mexican food in nyc. no attention was paid to this place until "they" arrived, they found something cool and ruined it. good job, douchebag.

along the lines of hipsters, i'd like to point out a few other groups of people that i kinda find douchey.

so on the subway, there are only so many seats to go around, and everyone else has to stand up for their daily back-and-forth commute. there are people who ALWAYS take these prime seats, totally disregarding the pregnant people, the elderly, and gimpy. and here is the list of the worst offenders:

the hipsters, of course
asian people all ages and gender
middle aged black females

but i'd like to give a shout-out to those who in general, who either give up their seat or usually don't sit:

young and middle aged white males
black men all ages
myself

well, thats all i can rant about today. check back cause i think i might try posting some trivia. for now i'll leave you with these two:

1. what are the names of the 3 main consumer credit reporting agencies.

and along the same lines:

2. what does FICO stand for?

NYC is de best

So, now that i've decided to start posting at work, i can post about the more mundane things in mah life. this post will just earmark somethings that i love about the city of new york.

1. ball fields - for some odd reason or another the mexican food here in new york sucks the big one. BUT there is an oasis out in the middle of a place called red hook, where the the food is amazing. every saturday and sunday at the red hook ball fields, soccer games are played. and along the outskirts of the field are the most delicious mexican food and drink stands. the only time i've had better mexican food was when i was in juarez, mexico, and one of the families feed us. i recommend the quesadillas, pupusas, and any of the fresh juices (my personal favorite is watermelon).

2. all you can eat korean bbq - it is exactly as it sounds. words cannot describe the joy of eating here. in the buffet trays, they just have raw meat. lots and lots of raw meat, and tons of sides. then you take all that back to your table and grill it to your liking. when you get in there, its almost like a race to see who can eat the most the quickest. flushing, ny. the place picnic garden

3. all the free stuff that happens in the summer - tons of free concerts and whatnot. every weekend and lots of stuff during the week as well. for instance, me, mrs. ktl, tadpolebear, mrs. tpb, and max anger all had a nice dinner, then went to central park and listened to the new york philharmonic, and were treated to a fire work show afterwards.

the mermaid day parade - out on coney island, and it was fun. i dont really know what the parade is about except that there are people who dress crazy and nude and blue. i will post pictures of this later

movies at bryant park - a free movie played in a big park with a couple thousand of your closest freinds. last movie we saw there was jaws.

street fairs - where they close down like 20-30 blocks of a street and restaurants come out and sell their reduced price wares. lots of fun local artist and merchants.

and those are just a few of my highlights.

okay gotta get back to work.
but keep checkin back cause i should be updating pretty often.

and here's some trivia:

1. Street Sense won the 2007 Kentucky Derby, what is the name of the racetrack the horses run on?

2. movie quote: “And I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life. You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. Don't worry... you will someday” - whats the movie and who was the actor/actress
