with all the hype for the premier of Bionic Woman tonight, my expectations rose far too high for the final product. granted, it's difficult to create a remake of a popular show without giving it a modern flavor and yet maintain some of its original qualities to keep fans of the first series interested. it just seemed a bit, um, hokey, for lack of a better word. i'm guessing things will pick up as the season progresses, but we all know from movies to music to dating that first impressions can make or break you. Bionic Woman just didn't do it for me. i think i'll stick to House (which, by the way, was a sweet season opener last night - i mean, he was nailing some decent riffs on guitar - not bad for a piano player).

i know, i know; i'm sure you've ALL been waiting expectantly for my pics of hawaii to get online for your viewing pleasure. i *hate* to disappoint my faithful following, but i haven't quite gotten around to all 1,768 of them yet. (i was kiiiiiind of hoping the panoramics would keep you in awe for a while.) anyway, here's a shot from South Point on the big island; it's reportedly the southernmost point in the United States.
it's a beauty, ain't it?

in the news: a harvard medical student just won an appeal in which she will be allowed extra time to nurse her baby girl during her board licensing exam. whaaaaaaaa? you already have the standard 45 mins worth of break, PLUS you scored yourself 2 days to take the exam instead of one because of "dyslexia and ADHD," PLUS you got your own private room to do your business already. her argument was that she would develop a devastating mastitis or other debilitating condition that would ruin her ability to make breastmilk ever again. riiiiiiight. someone's afraid their baby won't make it to harvard...

every so often i turn on rthk, an online radio station broadcasting from Hong Kong, and i hear something i like. this song, whose title translates into "Pet," hit it off with me instantly. i haven't heard music like this coming from the hk industry in far too long. keep it up dudes.
