So, I was eatin' me some Ling Lings Potstickers the other day. Dems good. Not quite as tasty as a homemade gyoza, but "oishii" nontheless. There was a time on my mission when a companion of mine slaved over a small Japanese table making hordes of these morcels, and I downed half of them in about 5 minutes. "It took me forever to make those!" he said (in Japanese.)
My bro Daniel said it sounds like a band... "Ling Ling and the Potstickers."
Then I got to thinkin...
Potsticker-itus sounds like a disease...
Potsticker-mus sounds like a dinosaur...
PotSTINKer sounds gross...
and Ling Lings sounds like Ting Tings:
Never heard 'em? Sure you have...
COMMERCIAL
And speaking of Chinese Panda's and potstickers....
Suh-WEETNESS! I wanted to see this one since I first heard about it, but this flick exceeded even my expectations. Tis a Jack Black movie, only he looks like a panda. His humor is fully translated. Plus, its got some amazing animation, specifically in the action scenes. My favorite is the various "Buh-HAW's" and "yack-huh-huh" grunts Po the Panda makes as he's getting smacked around. Definately a kung-fun film.
Tomorrow, The Incredible Hulk comes out which I am excited for of course. As well as M. Night Shyamalamadingdong's The Happening, which is rumored to have the first Dragon Ball teaser trailer...we shall see.
<--- This is a picture of the Hulk man I have that I shall be bringing to the theater with me. Shutup.
I decided to supply you with a "song of the moment" type thing now and again showcasing something I have been listening to lately, new or old. (In the grand tradition of my buddy Matt @ spitcake)
Lets kick that off in celebration of two exciting releases happening this month. (You can download these by right clicking them, or just stream them with some normal clickery)
Sigur Ros (one of my favs) graces us with their Icelandic genius once again with their new album (brace yourself...) "Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust" which apparently means "With a Buzz in Our Ears We Play Endlessly." This is their first single which is quite different from their past material. Gobbledigook
To those unaware of their greatness, I feel the need to insist you behold them! Here is a bonus track from their album by the same name, Agaetis Byjun ("an alright start") This one has put me to sleep for the last couple nights.
Also coming out(next week infact) Coldplay's new one Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends (what's with the long winded titles these days?) Everyone knows Coldplay, and you have most likely heard the song "Viva la Vida" on the iTunes commercial. Though I am a big fan, I haven't been that impressed with a Coldplay single since I heard their first one "Yellow" back in the day. The new album is fantastic! Here is another stand out track for ya: Strawberry Swing
Finally, I have decided my kid brothers are starting to surpass me in witty humor. Check dem blogs for proof: Jordy and DanWell, das it for now. Enjoy your days.

That Ting Tings song from the iTunes commercial is possibly the single most annoying thing I have ever heard. I swear, my head was bleeding. The whole time.
Apparently we be on different pages when it comes to pot-stickers. I hate them. I used to hate seaweed but I just kept trying it and then I adapted to its beauty. I keep trying pot-stickers however and for some reason I just cannot embrace the boiled ground panda sphincter that is found inside. I still will eat them, but I cannot comprehend the delish standards that individuals like yourself and my wife hold them to. Never the less, I forgive you and will always hold thee tight to my bosom.
