O-M-F-G
Posted on December 28th, 2009 by delrondu
I don’t usually watch movie trailers but I was reading about The Karate Kid on Pajiba.com and had to play the trailer after it. When the kid first met the girl and the bully, I was going O-M-F-G because it looked so bad and so wrong when you have the original to compare to.

After all that hype, the movie did live up to it, and then some. So that’s great for James Cameron making a comeback to the big screen.

Posted on December 16th, 2009 by delrondu
This would apply to anywhere in the world I suppose, but this just happened to me last night in Istanbul.
The family and I were just about 5 minutes away from our hotel by cab. However, the driver said that the short way is closed off (probably a big fat lie) and he had to take [...]

How Greeks Steal Your Valuables In Subways
Posted on December 16th, 2009 by delrondu
See? That kind of title will get anyone’s attention and it’s these kinds of information that will help travellers going to Greece, specifically Athens. When you know how it’s done, you’ll have a better chance of preventing it.
I’ve received three warnings before my Canon 450D got stolen. First was a friend who warned me on [...]
