Lookism is everywhere, and also some shopping blather
Olympic opening uses girl’s voice, not face.
The real singer, 7-year-old Yang Peiyi, with her chubby face and crooked baby teeth, wasn’t good looking enough for the ceremony, its chief music director told state-owned Beijing Radio...
“The little girl is a magnificent singer,” Chen said. “She doesn’t deserve to be hidden.” He said the ceremony’s director, film director Zhang Yimou, knew of the change. He declined to speak further about it.
Why am I not surprised? The dude who casts Ziyi Zhang in every movie in the world, when it's known that not only can she not do real Kung Fu, she can't actually even act. It's all about looks with this dude, it's typical lookism.
Now how the hell could i have watched almost the entire thing, heard the name every few minutes on the broadcast, and not gotten "Zhang Yimou" out of it? I thought I was hearing something like "Zan Imo" and wondering who in the hell that was.
Thus far today I bought a shelf to put up in the sunroom where I can make a little memorial for Trisky and Pendragon. I got a pot and some soil to repot my plants. It is my plan to move the yucca tree to the window in my bedroom after cutting it back some, and then put the orange tree in the living room where the yucca is now.
Also, because I had a 40% off coupon, I got an awesome Halloween tombstone, one where the pic of the dude changes into a pic of a skeleton. I guess it's easy to see, for anyone who knows me, how much my aesthetic has been shaped by Disney's Haunted Mansion ride. ;) It's a little hard for me to start thinking about Halloween when it's high summer, but I do it every year, and every year I talk about how it's hard for me to start thinking about Halloween when it's still high summer. :)
Anyway, check this out. As I was getting into my car after I bought my stuffs that I wanted, this is what I saw:
My CD was on track number 3. The time of the song was 3:03. The time on my clock was 1:11, and my mileage added up to 3.
WTF? WTF? WTMFF?!
