A Pinoy Blog About Nothing

I tried to like the Dukes of Hazzard. I really did. The TV series was one of those early memories from childhood. One of my guilty pleasures is watching Johnny Knoxville and Steve-O in Jackass. Sean William Scott is a goof ball although he's been doing the same role in his past movies. And you can do worse than looking at Jessica Simpson for an hour and ...

Probably the coolest thing about House of Wax is the idea that the wax museum in the movie is made entirely from wax - the walls, the floors, the staircase and of course the figures inside the museum.

In one case, he dropped a clothespin on the floor while hanging ...

First the Walkman Phone the owners of which have been raving about it, now this. Currently lusting after this beauty - the SE K790/K800. I'm stuck with my first and hopefully last Nokia because my current provider didn't have that great a selection of phones when we switched (Razr? Puhleease.) I was thinking of getting a P910 but that's a bit of, ahem, overkill. And so, Sony-Ericsson decided ...
