Time	Event
1:45p	The Sumos of Wrestling Recently I discovered that the wrestlers who were titled YOKOZUNA and RIKISHI were not meant to be names for the characters, but actually representative of their ranking/titles in a Sumo class. As in collegiate and olympic wrestling, boxing and even MMA, Sumo wrestling has weight and level classes. Yokozuna is the highest of ranks and has very varied history. Rikishi is the general term for a Sumo. I don't know why I didn't know this for years, but there it is. Quite random I admit... but something that was on my mind. As an extra note, these two "sumos" are/were cousins. As an extra extra note, here is recent footage of Solofa Fatu, Jr. now going by simply KISHI (instead of RIKISHI) in the Chile's RRL. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkZjoL2SD80 (2 Comments | Comment on this)
5:26p	Mark Harmon and a mustache.... First time I'm seeing this episode of NCIS and I gotta say... that mustache does him no good. He looks... just really weird. Like Kevin Kline's clone where they messed up a bit. (Comment on this)
5:44p	An interesting change to Google Images Do a google image search on say... the color red. There's this new filter, that will allow you see only red images that are marked as red. Not sure how I or anyone can use this to any real purpose, but it's interesting. (Comment on this)
10:36p	On the fence on G.I. Joe live action Plus= RAIN as Storm Shadow Minus = Marlon Wayans?!?!? Minus= Oh wait, that's not RAIN... it's Byung-hun Lee?! Plus= Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Heavy Duty Minus = The newest TV trailer isn't very thrilling Plus= The online trailer is a bit better. Not that any of this matters, I suck when it comes to even going to movies. I still haven't seen UP, or Public Enemies... (8 Comments | Comment on this)
