55,555.50

What you are looking at ladies and gentlemen, is the odometer of my Ford Explorer. It hit 55,555.50 miles today sice I bought it in 12/28/03. Nothing Special, just wanted to share the moment. I was not paying attention to it until I filled up gas this morning and looked at the reading.

So like 2.5 years I drove over 55k miles, not alot compared to others but it is impressive iI think. Considering that for many months I was away and not driving it, the mileage might of have been even more.

What!? A Cadaver?

I showed up at the location for a production and found out I will be filming some cadavers. No one bothered to tell me. I was not affected by it until I started to imagingin how it was going to look like - a whole dead human body?

I started to think about the time when my cousin took my to the morgue to look at about 30 dead bodies from a bus accident. I was about 13 then and the site really amazed me. There were workers cleaning the poor naked accident victims on top of huge ice blocks. I realy felt sad for the relatives and friends who were there identifying and mourning their loss. Sad site.

The smell of formyldehyde they used to preserve the carcuss stayed inmy mind and nose for many years.

The filming was not bad. It was for a medical equipment company. They have a new endoscope camera they are launching and at the same time they were doing a demo to some sales people and I assume were medical students. The physician was poking and probing around with the new High Definition camera and the room and the table where the piece of human shoulder were propped up on was dripping with saline and some body juice. I tried successfully not to get any on me. One of our extention cord got soaked with it so we decided to let them have it. It was a good nice thick expensive extention cord too. Oh well. I dont want to clean it.

Why does he have to say things like that?

Took this shot of Big Bad Bruce for his promotional use. He's got 2 turntables and a microphone. Bruce is not bad. I think he is still represented by Lynn. I am not sure now since she got her NSX.

Met lots of DJs recently, one in particular craked me up. I saw him with cases of his CDs and just asked if he was using MP3 files, his replied was that "no they are not good enough quality and that his clients want the best." Along with Jeff we laughed.

Yes, it is true music from a music CD is higher in fidelity than highly compressed MP3 file, I doubt his client can tell the differnce from his low-end loud speakers.

Few weeks ago, Jeff and I were at a wedding and sitting next to us were this couple. We introduced ourselves and chatted a little. Out of the blue he says he came to the US when he was 7 years old so he does not have any accents. I turned to Jeff and lamented that my parents should of took me here to US when I was seven and not 8 years old. Since I came when I was 8, and not 7 I have an accent! Damn, should of came when I was 7.

Now, Why does he have to says things like that?
