pardon my french

hoorayee! an update! a gawddarn blog post! stand up! stand up and rejoice everybody! put your hands in the air and lemme hear you say "hooo!" don't you hate it when a performer on stage does that? coercing the audience to a specific chant? i do. i hate it as much as when they aim the microphone towards you and want you to sing the song instead. i'm like, dude, i paid you to sing. so sing goddamit!

so anyways, welcome me back, ladies and gentlemen. what do you think of my brand spankin new header?

allow me to blabber about my new job. i am an entertainment transcriptionist at peoplesupport. if i shouldnt be telling you that and the ones that will follow this sentence, i have no idea so i don't give a monkey's pimply ass. basically what i do is watch small movie files, which are mostly interviews, listen very carefully to the audio and transcribe it. play, listen, pause, type, rewind, listen, play... and that's about it. the whole shift. it's really not that hard (my new friend and i are the fastest in the batch. the rest eat our typing dust), but it depends on the file and what the people in it say. if names/places/events/other stuff need checking, we fire up internet explorer and do research, which i'm pretty good at. it's actually quite fun sometimes, especially when the file is from a comedy talk show, or when it's really informative. like the last one we did about andrew jackson ( you know, the american president) and his movie-worthy love story. the uppity ones tell us that in the future we'll get a chance to transcribe films as well. one says that another transcriptionist hates transcribing r-rated movies. well, bring em all over to me! my pleasure. anyways, i like this call center job way better than the last one, for many reasons, like i get paid on time. unlike those government buttmunchers in quezon city! damn you all to hell!

oh, btw, here's the link to an old movie review that i've only uploaded now: art school confidential.

and finally from here on, the comments section is all yours. i wont be making anymore replies there. it's just me; i believe that the comments section should contain only your comments, suggestions and other messages (though i was gonna say 'violent reactions', dintcha? no way, cliche!). none of mine. what i would do instead is respond to them within the succeeding post. i shall do my best to answer all of them, the challenge thi would entail depends on the number of messages i receive. oh well, ive never really had that many comments. anyways, talkbacks start!

bloodboard talkback:
luigi: my main man, are you saying you'll be here on monday? if it's true, then holy shitballs! welcome back! cant wait to see you again and do with you things that are illegal in some countries. uncap the beer bottles and let out the girls! because the jai and luigi show is on!

ghostinyou: neither can i. as a big spidey fan, there aint nothin that can hinder me from watching this film. see you at the premiere!

onlinepad: thanks you, jen. i've added you as well. gimmick? anytime. especially if you're paying for it. question is, how? you're out of the country!

peter: dude, with what? the blog voting thing?

ituloy angpagsulong: hop `til you drop!

rho: happy belated halloween. man, i was gone for that long?!

comments talkback:
katia: don't know if it'll coincide with the may 4 premiere in the us. but i pray to all the gods out there that it does. i'll keep an eyeball hanging out for any info regarding that. oh don't you fuckin dare cheat me, philippine organization that handles movie releases!

jigs: venom is in the other trailer, the one they showed in comic-con this year. you'll find it if you google it up. im sure we'll get to see it in full glory before the movie comes out, hopefully attached to one of the films early next year.

done! i'll be back at ya as soon as i can.

p.s. congratulations to the philippines for winning against mexico in a fist fight. rey mysterio's presence didnt give el terible enough boost to 619 his way to victory. the what-the-fuck-was-that? look on erik's face when he kissed the mat the third time was classic. [laugh] manny pacquiao for president!
p.p.s. on a totally unrelated note, remember that bald lifeguard dude with a mustache in baywatch who was an extra at first and then became a regular later on? of course you remember him. we all remember him. we just don't know who he is. he doesnt care though. because he got to see the baywatch babes' boobs bouncing in the beach.
