I guess you can't really rely on IMDB as the best source of entertainment journalism, or any kind of journalism for that matter. But "Bacon Shaved His Head For Real" as a headline? That's just embarassing. I wonder what the AP Stylebook says about usage of "for real?"

Something's up. A helicopter's been circling my neighborhood for the last hour and it is really getting on my nerves. Maybe one of my drug dealing neighbors got caught again and is trying to get away. Argh, can't sleep!

Je voudrais des crêpes! Je ne veux pas travailler à demain.

Soup du jour! Camembert! Jacques Cousteau! Baguette! Où est le livre? À la bibliotheque. Où est la piscine? Je ne comprends pas. Parlez-vous Français? Non. Fulufafa...ayah.

Okay, chopper's gone. Bed!

Tagged by Ate Maricris. Rules: Once you've been tagged, you must answer all the questions in the survey. As much as possible, have specific answers! This way, your friends might learn a thing or two about you! After answering and posting this survey, tag 3-4 of your friends!

1. Give five possible names you could have been given as a child.
Pretty much any name that starts with the letter K would be a good bet. My mother was obsessed.

2. Give three of the best years of your life and explain why.
a. 2006 – Snowboarded like crazy with Alex and Sandy, cross-country road trip, Tommy stuff.
b. 2007 – More Tommy stuff!, hellish (but ultimately memorable) internship, graduation (although ceremony-less), trip to the motherland
c. 1998 - Last year in the Philippines

3. Tell about your fondest memory with your friends.
Rehearsing Act I of A Midsummer Night's Dream for English class in first year and the Cebu/Bohol trip this June with my barkada in the Philippines. All those times spent at Nickel Nickel with OCPAC friends. The road trip. Concert Hall opening gala.

Not necessarily a school thing, but sky diving or bungee jumping. In school, I wanted to take up surfing, but chickened out after seeing Open Waters (where it is mentioned that surfers are the number 1 victims of shark attacks).

Learn how to play a musical instrument.

a. I chew on the inside of my cheek whenever I'm anxious, bored, frustrated, uncomfortable, or discontented.
b. I've seen Wicked four and a half times, Hairspray three, Les Miserables, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, and The Lion King two. Hurray for the (Arts)Center and Goldstar!
c. I've been to Vegas six times within the last year or so, and I couldn't have gambled any more than $50 total nor gotten drunk at all.
d. I have super talented relatives on my dad's side, but that quality seems to have evaded me. Boo!

This past weekend: Vegas for Kirstyn's 21st.

It was kind of an odd way to celebrate someone's birthday by not actually hanging out with her at all, except for dinners at a mediocre French restaurant and an overpriced California Pizza Kitchen. And the truth is I don't actually feel bad about it. I guess I feel a bit guilty, but I (or everyone else) wouldn't have had much fun otherwise. Late night clubbing at places with really high cover charges, dress codes, and "skanks first" policies aren't really my thing. Ah well, it's the thought that counts?

I did have a great time with them peeps with whom I spent the whole weekend. It was nice and quiet and relaxing, AND I have money leftover still. That, my friends, is one big hunk of awesome!

Current happenings are beginning to get quite exhausting. I'm crossing my fingers for change soon. Why can't there be more stuff in Orange County?

Happy late birthday, Tin! Aymissyu!
