...The Rock has come home to Miami.

And I have found myself a vocalist.

Once again, a very happy birthday to Mr. Bison. And to Ms. Inda's dad. And to Ms. Mei -- no hyperlink, not everyone has a blog, mind you. Or a Friendster account for that matter.

Come to think of it, so many of the people I know are Leos, Geminians, or Sagittarians. Revise that. So many of the people I get along well with are Leos, Geminians, or Sagittarians.

Current music: Backstreet Boys - Drowning
Current mood: happy

"I'm Spider-Man... no more!"

I'll be honest. This entry has little to do with our web slinger. Just like how great trilogies come in threes, good things come in fives. Maroon 5, Jackson Five, Voltus V -- whoa, 3 ways to write five, how cool is that -- and most of those boy bands. Did I just say boy bands were good? Hmm...

Today -- well, yesterday -- I did something I was not a bit proud of. Something very bad. If you knew me well, you wouldn't ask. If you didn't know me that well, now hopefully you do.

...buat Buncis, yang pertama ngenalin lagu ini ke gua. En yang baca-baca lagi ngerasa kecewa, nggak rela, kesel, pengen nangis, jengkel, binun, tapi juga sedikit lega. Nah lho, coba tebak, rasa apakah itu?

BTW, akhirnya login lagi ke Friendster setelah sekian lama. Ternyata sekarang udah make PHP, bukan JSP lagi. Hmm, menarik... Yang lebih menarik lagi sih, kenap nap sekarang nggak ada pemberitahuan lagi ya kalo ada yang nge-add jadi temen? Apa itu cuma perasaan sini saja?

"Yeah, it's kinda itchy... It sometimes rides up in the crotch, too..."

Look what our fav superhero has to endure. All in the name of a cool costume. Which once again confirms that in order to look good you must be prepared to suffer. And sometimes practicality has to take the backseat. What, can you imagine Spidey slinging around in, I dunno, a Scottish kilt, maybe? Practical as it is, one would wonder what Spidey wears underneath. All right, I'm not going there.

Quick comic trivia: unlike in the movie, where Spidey's webbing is organic, Peter actually devised -- he's supposed to be a genius, after all -- wrist-mounted web shooters as part of the suit. The "web" itself is actually some kind of fluid that upon contact with air turns into a highly adhesive fiber. High-pressure cartridges are used to shoot the strands. On which, Raimi said, "I think it's more believable that the web is organic rather than a kid making a glue 3M can't make."

"Go get 'em, Tiger!"

I cannot write about this without spoiling it for the few of you. Since personally I think this is one of the most important storylines in the movie, here's a SPOILER'S WARNING: do not read this entry if you haven't watched it and don't wanna be spoiled.

Quick comic trivia: Tiger is the nickname MJ frequently uses to call Peter. Incidentally, the first line she said to him was, "Face it, Tiger... you just hit the jackpot!"

Ini dia nih, cincin karet yang ilang. Makasih buat Ibu Dettol atas foto-fotonya.

Kalo ada yang nemu, tolong kasih tau ya. Makasih lho, Jeng.

BTW, ini ada situs yang agak menarik, kayak tali. Buat yang pengen bikin kesel temen boleh juga nih.

BTW lagi, Bry -- iya, gua tau, udah mati -- gua abis download Caligula lagi. Ternyata pake DivX Player yang baru bisa bagus tuh, nggak patah-patah kayak waktu gua nonton ama Bang Yas. Cuma ya itu, adware-nya banyak bener, untung ada ZoneAlarm.

BTW lagi lagi, Buncis, gua baru merhatiin, elu tuh kalo foto selalu miring gitu ya palanya?

"After all these years, he's nothing to me but an empty seat."

Ouch, that's gotta hurt! Especially after spending the last few days getting excited about the moment. Especially since the reason you're late is that you had to catch bad guys -- and then the door guy didn't let you in. Especially since the person saying it is someone you care most about.

Although, actually I don't get MJ there. Bringing a date to your show when you're expecting someone else who's -- allegedly -- in love with you? Nice going there, MJ. What would you say when introducing them? Peter, meet John, we've been dating for some time now. John, this is Peter, he's always in love with me, but don't worry about it. Oh, and please don't hate me 'cause I'm beautiful.

"Peter Parker. Brilliant but lazy."

Whoa, that was some movie right there! All right, I do have issues with a few details, but still, overall? A job very well done, Mr. Raimi. And the cast were awesome as well.

Reminds me why Spidey has always been my all-time superhero. He always has so many real-life problems that he seems almost real. So much so that I can personally relate to his issues. Here's the first of several.
