Transformers: Dark of the Moon Home Video Press Release

An unintentional leak over a week ago confirmed that Transformers: Dark of the Moon is coming to Blu-ray and DVD on September 30, 2011. Paramount has finally got around releasing an official press release confirming their own leak. As Nelson indicated, the 9/30 release is for just the movie with no bells and whistles as these will be "followed by a deluxe Blu-ray and DVD release, including a Blu-ray 3D, in the coming months."

The assessment that the editions will come in around December makes the most sense as Paramount will want to take advantage of the holiday buying season. What does not make any sense is for anyone to buy these "standard" editions come the end of the month until all the information is revealed on what the "deluxe" and 3D editions of the movie will have as far as extras so buyers can make an informed decision on what version to buy. In my opinion, unless the deal is too fantastic to pass up (say $5 for Blu-ray version) you should not buy a single copy of this movie until Paramount releases the details on the deluxe editions.

Return of the Superior~~♥ 슈퍼주니어 5jib

It's time for FANGIRLING~~
because...
ALBUM CAME!!!!!!


I ordered Super Junior's 5th Album with ELF Finland. 
They have a facebook page and I'm also part of that group. 
There was a special chance to order Super Junior's 5th album before it even came out. 
I ordered mine in the end of July, Super Junior made comeback in 8th August and today my album came.
I didn't have to take care of shipping or ordering, paypal fees, or anything. 
I just paid and tidii~~ 5jib is in front of me. 
Of course it took more time, but it was cheaper way because there was 47 others who also ordered through this special ordering. 


We also had a chance to wish who we want to be in cover.
Otherwise that would been random member out of 10.
Well, who else than Donghae would be in the cover when album is coming for me? ;) 



I gotta say that album is huge! Covers are so huge, I bet I've never seen such a big CD Album before, but it's nice. 
There was also a surprise, because I didn't know that inside of the covers are PICTURES OF ALL MEMBERS! 


I bet many girls liked Siwon's picture, right? ;) 


I also got big poster of Super Junior. 
Now I only have to make some space to my walls. 
There was also 3 little photos of Siwon, Kyuhyun and Donghae. 


So about songs then.
Isn't music the reason why people buy CD Albums? : ) 

My favourites are
Walkin'
Good Friends
Be My Girl 
Sunflower
and of course first song,
Mr.Simple

Super Junior's 5jib was actually my second K-pop album.
I bought FT.Island's album from a friend. 

Super Junior was actually first K-pop band I ever heard, so it's kind of special thing to me.
Hey, I was 13!! Super Junior was the reason why I started to get more interested about Korean culture and expecially language.
So blame Super Junior! 

And now because group is quietly starting to broke, first Kibum left because of acting, Hangeng quit after that lawsuit, Kangin started Army and now Heechul just joined Army and leader Leeteuk is leaving in next year to Army. (Ps. Army is 2 years in Korea) 
I wanted to buy this album, because we are not sure when will next album come, or will it EVER come.

It feels kind of weird because the K-pop wave is now coming to Europe, you guys remember J-rock wave couple years ago? 
What you guys think about it?
I bet it's gonna be like that and in my opinion, it's so superficial. 
Of course it's good that bands get more fans and fame all over the world, but can you take young 13 years old fan girl seariously?... Basically I mean that when I saw K-pop article in our local newspaper, I was like WHAT? The article wasn't written well.. it sounded so superficial when I read that.
I don't have anything against of new K-pop fans or anything. It's good if they are interested
Okey, I'm not gonna argue anymore, you'll get it or not! I just don't want K-pop to come that superficial thing, well Entertainment bussiness isn't anything more than superficial..
okey, I'll stop now. 


Actually couple days ago, I was wathing TV with my brother, Arirang TV Channel (korean). 
Couple years ago my brother always blamed that my music taste is so weird and why I listen shit stuff like that and watch dramas. He called me weird because of that, well my brother is 15, so I kind of understand his behavior. 
In TV there was some show from SM Town Paris, all were screaming and yelling.
Then my brother said to me.
My Brother: "Isn't that simple simple band?" (means Super Junior, I listen that song a lot in home)
Me: "Yeah, why?"
My brother: "Is it really popular?" 
Me: "Yeah. See, I'm not the only weird one. " 
That was hilarious actually ;)  kekekekekeke~~

I don't even want to know how much K-POP albums I will bring back to home after my Seoul trip...*sigh*....XD


I would say that I listen K-pop but there is always that one favorite.
For me it's Super Junior because if you're once E.L.F, always E.L.F~~!

Government Waste - Pelosi Burned Many Air Miles and Taxpayer Dollars

During Nancy Pelosi's reign as Speaker of the House she took advantage of, and seriously abused, her position. All at taxpayer expense.

According to documents obtained from the US Air Force, through the Freedom of Information Act, Judicial Watch discovered that during the first nine months of 2010 Pelosi flew 90,155 miles on Air Force aircraft 43 different times. That is an average of almost five flights per month.

An example of one roundtrip flight: A May 6-10, 2010, Congressional Delegation to Afganistan and Germany "to discuss issues of mutual interest in Qatar and Afghanistan, as well as conduct oversight on women’s issues (troops) in Afghanistan and to visit with US troops and meet with government officials in Germany."
The total cost of military travel was $204,135.00. Makes one wonder what other costs, aside from military, Main Street USA incurred during that trip.

A blazing question is even more basic, however. Why on Earth did Pelosi have to fly to these countries to speak to others about these topics? And a visit to US troops? What could possibly have been achieved by her appearances that would have been of great benefit to American taxpayers?

Perhaps visiting those countries were on her bucket list.

Even more evidence of her blatant disregard towards American citizens is the fact that many of the trips she took were to visit her San Franciso-area home.

Sorry, but this blogger feels that if someone runs for national office they know well in advance that they will have to live in Washington DC and if their family elects not to move then that elected person should foot the bill, through commercial air travel, to visit home. Either that or they can charter a private jet, out of their own pocket, to do so.

Afterall, it is not as if they do not earn a few dollars for talking the talk in DC for several months a year.

It is about time that Capitol Hill discovers webinars and cuts down on excessive and abusive travel, as well as other perks, that they seem to enjoy all too much.

Of note, is that during one two-year period as House Speaker Pelosi racked up military travel expenses of $2,100,744.59. Not a bad perk, Nancy. But, of course, you do feel our pain, don't you?

Over For Now.

NASA's Cassini Missions View Saturn

The "sixth rock from the Sun," Saturn, named after the Roman God, is the second largest planet in the Solar System following Jupiter.

Two things which set Saturn apart from other planets are its nine rings composed of ice particles along with some rocky debris and dust, as well as at least 62 moons. Saturn's atmosphere is composed of 96% hydrogen, 3% helium with traces of other gases.

The images below were captured by NASA's Cassini Missions, Equinox and Solstice. Four of the images are natural color and one is ultra-violet.

An intriguing planet, to be sure.

Straddling Main Street USA With More Debt

An Associated Press headline today reads: "Obama to propose $300 billion to jump-start jobs."

And where does the jump-start take place?

In the public sector.

Thus, there is evidently going to be a proposal to spend $300 billion that the government does not have, increasing the national debt once again.

And, public sector employees are paid via the private sector (read Main Street USA) taxes.

Therefore, another double whammy for tax-paying citizens.

Capitol Hill needs to remove themselves from the business of trying to "generate" business and jobs. While there may be thousands of new (public sector) jobs created it comes at a cost that simply adds more debt and more burden to Americans.

Why can't those in Washington DC allow small businesses and corporations to do what they do best, ie create, manufacture and sell their products and services. Yes, regulate the unethical and throw them in prison, but let businesses do their thing.

And while our elected representatives and their appointees regulate the bad apples in the private sector it should be added that the public sector needs that type of oversight as well.

Over For Now.
