Boys over Flowers

I've started watching the TV show boys over flowers. I'm not sure what to think just yet. I have only watched the first two episodes. I have found it quite funny at times though.


Synopsis:

"The ‘Iconic Love Story’ for those who wish to stay young at heart forever!
‘Boys over Flowers’ is the highly anticipated remake of the famous Japanese comic book series. Jan-di, the Heroine, is the poor but bright girl who has a strong sense of justice and full of vitality. She transfers to an exclusive high school where only the rich go. In there, she encounters with the four rich and quirky boys and experiences love and friendship.
The storyline illustrates the supreme fantasy that a drama can bring out the most. Each of us probably has an experience of admiring or dreaming of something. The drama ‘Boys over Flowers’ is the concentration of the admirations."

LPN School

At the end of this month I will have completed my first semester of LPN School, time is flying by. It seems like just last month I was still working on getting all my paper work in to get accepted to LPN School.

The second semester is when I will actually be getting hands on experience through the use of clinicals at various hospitals. I'm nervous and excited at the same time. People who have completed the program say that second semester is the toughest.

I'm not concerned though. I've made it this far not stressing and taking everything one day at a time.

Shinjuku Incident

I watched Shinjuk Incident a few days ago and enjoyed it tremendously. This is the first movie starring Jackie Chan that I have seen where he isn't just a martial arts expert that comes to save the day. Although there are a few incidents that resemble a typical Jackie Chan movie. He does become the Chinese immigrants savior like he is often portrayed in his movies. Yet, as I stated earlier I enjoy this movie and definitely recommend it if you have not had the chance to see it.

Synopsis:

"In the early 1990s, a tractor mechanic from a northen countryside in China nicknamed Steelhead (Jackie Chan), enters Japan illegally in search of his fiancée, Xiu Xiu (Xu Jinglei). Steelhead and a bunch of other illegal immigrants came by a freighter that incidentally sunk before reaching the harbor. A local Japanese policeman discovered them and all the immigrants ran for their lives. Steelhead managed to steal some dry clothes and tracked down his brother Jie (Daniel Wu) for help. Jie helped provide food and shelter for Steelhead while looking for a job in between searching for Xiu Xiu. Jie introduced fellow Chinese immigrants and each of them helped Steelhead by showing him trades of the underworld to survive and make a living."

G.M. Volt

"Fritz Henderson, chief executive of General Motors, announces that the Volt, the company’s electric car scheduled to be released in 2011, will get at least 230 miles per gallon."

Yeah right! I'll believe that crap when I see it. If it's true then we know the car companies have been sitting on this technology for awhile and it's all been a big conspiracy between the auto makers and oil companies.

The King and the Clown

I watched The King and the Clown this past weekend. I enjoyed this film quite a bit but I was rather shocked to see much of the film had a homosexual undertone something I was not expecting. Nonetheless, it was a very well made film that kept my interest ever step of the way.

Synopsis:

"Set in the early 16th century during the reign of King Yeonsan, two male street clowns and tightrope walkers, Jangsaeng (Gam Wu-seong) and Gonggil (Lee Jun Ki), are part of an entertainer troupe. Their manager prostitutes the beautiful Gonggil to rich customers, and Jangsaeng sickens of this practice. After Gonggil kills the manager in defense of Jangsaeng, the pair flees to Seoul, where they form a new group with three other street performers. Together the group comes up with a skit mocking some members of the Royal Court, including the king and his new concubine Jang Noksu. After they are arrested for treason, Jangsaeng makes a deal with Choseon, who turns out to be one of the King's servants, to either make the king laugh at their skit or to be executed. "
