Fat Ninja + Asian Heritage Street Celebration

So here's the deal on this post.

I was going through e-mail checking out some of the press releases and info that gets sent my way (which is amazing to me that I have crap to wade through btw because who would have thought that people will still send in things since I'm on 1/2 time...) and I was going to post up some quick info on the Asian Heritage Street Celebration (SF) but while going to their site saw a post on one of their vendor highlights - which was Fat Ninja - and I just couldn't help but post on that because he's a cute fat little ninja and if there's anything that brightens up your day it should be a fat little ninja.

Linkage.

Re: The Longest Night In Shanghai

I know some of you will ask the question of what's wrong with me and why I like movies like this, but I can't help it - I'm just the hoodrat that I am. Zhao Wei, Masahiro Motoki (who was great in Departures), two people who don't speak the same language, and pretty much the whole film shot at night - how could I not like it?

Hillary Twittered The Obama's Fly-Swatting PETA? In Iran? With Senator Ensign?

I guess I just never thought I'd be reading an article with the headline "Hillary Clinton defends Twitter efforts for Iran" where it actually talks about the U.S. State Department urging the social networking service to keep itself up, and Clinton, even though she doesn't know a "Twitter from a tweeter", defending the action where Twitter itself could be at the center of an international firestorm.

But then again I also didn't think I'd read an article where PETA chastised Obama for swatting a fly and now wants to send him something called a "Katcha Bug Humane Bug Catcher" which in essence traps a fly and then releases it back into the same airspace where it was bothering you in the first place essentially doing nothing. I mean I know PETA's kinda messed up, but this - this is kind of on the fringe even for them...

Something though I'm not really surprised to read about is that Republican Senator John Ensign of Nevada (the No. 4 Senate Republican) resigned from his leadership post on the Republican Policy Committee due to having an affair with a former staff member and "violating the vows" of his marriage which is just a little funny seeing as how he's also a member of the men's Christian ministry group the Promise Keepers who're committed to building strong marriages.

Yeah.

That one really doesn't surprise me.
