Some news:
The Fuzz is screening at the Puchon International Fantastic Film Festival 2003 next week.
The program looks interesting: They are also showing Bollywood movies, Blaxploitation cartoons, and ‘Hillbillies in Hollywood’!
Americans have a fixed idea about the hillbillies: They don’t go to school, they live in wooden houses without proper supply of water, and they intermarry. They brew illegal whiskeys, they are enemies with their neighbors. They love to beat their wives, and almost always they are drunk. This program shows images of Hillbillies as short musicals from 1928 to 1963.
Love it!
The Mucha Lucha Direct-to-Video movie commences production in two weeks (at WB). This will be concurrent with Season 3 production of the TV series.
Friendster.com is an online network for making new friends ONLY via existing friends (or friends of friends. No strangers, which is what appeals to me). First you have to register and invite friends. I’ve just signed up. If you are would like to take part in an online ‘social-network-expansion’ experiment, let me know and I’ll send you an invitation! p.s. I’m still figuring out how the ‘networking’ part works …
Currently taking part in beta-testing TypePad, a new upcoming blogging tool by the people who created Movable Type (one of the more fancy high-end self-hosted blogging tools – which I have no inclination to figure out)
In a nutshell, Typepad is a hosted service with loads of cool features (eg, multiple weblogs, photo albums, commenting, file hosting, stats, other customizable stuff…) It won’t be free, but the beta version is. (lucky me! – see my temporary typepad blog)
Personally, I still find Xanga Premium to be the most user-friendly, and most affordable hosted weblog service. I’m quite content with what we have. Pity that people can’t leave comments without signing up first.

Oh, you’ll run into friends of friends of friends of friends on Friendster… which are pretty much strangers. =)
OK. So, there will be strangers but at least someone can vouch for them. (does that sound really snobby?)
