  In Korea and Japan they love theme days that make you spend money on gifts for other people to show how much you like them. I told you about Pepero Day back in the wintry days of November, remember? No? You ignorant sods. Well, last Sunday was White Day. Let me explain. On Valentine's Day here, birds buy blokes chocolate. No need for the bloke to get his wallet out, which rocks. But, a month later comes White Day, where the bloke buys sweets for his bird. Shitehawks, as Inno might have once said. I know what you're thinking, no bird for Dan, ergo no obligation to buy sugary treats, right? (you could get about 10 Googlewhacks out of this entry alone, I'll wager). Well, it's complicated. Oh, she's still getting married in 4 weeks time, but she was mightily pissed off when Sunday came and went and she hadn't so much as a penny chew to her name. Needless to say a text-message guilt trip extravaganza ensued, meaning that I had to make a swift trip to the sweet shop after school yesterday where my time constraints and lack of Korean bartering skills meant I picked up the first thing I saw, which happened to be a 25.000 won heart-shaped box of Chupa Chup lollipops.
It did the trick, but I'm getting pissed off at these stupid days where people fly off the handle if you don't buy them stuff to prove your love. Especially the ones where I don't get shit bought for me. Incidentally, April 14th is 'Black Day', where it's the single peoples' turn to buy stuff. They get together and eat noodles. Fucking nuts, this place is. New coolest thing to get off the Internet : A Game Boy Advance emulator.
Do a search on Kazaa - they're about 300k in size, so no bitching from Mr Haigh. There are shit loads of ROMS on Kazaa as well (though you should have the original game if you're going to use these, kids), size is between 1 meg (Tetris) and 16 megs (huge RPGs like Golden Sun). The games are urlLink wicked awesome , especially Pokemon Ruby / Sapphire, the aforementioned Golden Sun (and sequel), and Advance Wars 2, which is like a cross between Risk and Command and Conquer, only way, way better. Be like me, and waste countless hours staring at a small corner of your PC screen! Dogma was on TV last night . God, I hate Kevin Smith movies. At first I just hated Mallrats , but now I hate 'em all (except Clerks , which rules, and Chasing Amy , which I only mildly dislike).
From the cheap special effects, 4th grade toilet humor (note to Smith: when you're trying to create a biting, yet funny satire of organised religion, best not to include a scene right in the middle which makes Freddy Got Fingered look like high-brow entertainment) to the just plain awful acting (Fiorentino couldn't get more monotonous if she substituted her voice box for a fucking Speak N' Spell; and thank God Salma Hayek has a nice arse), it's just a bad, bad movie. Quiz time (or, Dan can't be arsed to look on imdb time): You know the new Star Trek with Quantum Leap guy (they just started showing it in Korea so it's still new for me) - what else has that English engineer bloke been in?
Or am I just getting a bit confused because he looks a bit like David Duchovny? UPDATE (I couldn't bear the tension): Desmond's!!!!! That's where I remember him from. From a Peckham barber shop to the Starship Enterprise. The boy done good. He's picked up one of those "I'm an Englishman on American TV, so I must talk in this annoying accent" voices though.
