Day: February 28, 2005

In less than 24 hours, I will be in Ottawa. In less than 36 hours, I will hopefully be on my way to Toronto, and then London.

I'm starting to get really nervous about the whole thing.

I've been doing interview prep ever since I confirmed I was going and I'm starting to lose it a bit. I'm getting all sorts of self-doubt. Am I good enough for this job? Will I make a food of myself at the interview? Add to that the stress of not even being sure I'll be able to travel because of the upcoming storm in southern Ontario and you get a less than happy Richard.

I will be relieved when it's done – for better or worse.

I want this to go well.

Bah.

I was browsing for DVDs at Metro Video a few days ago when I ran across this gem. Instant childhood flashback. I just had to buy it. It was the best 10$ I ever spent :D

Yes, Revenge of the Ninja. I think I was 10 or something like that when I saw it and boom! Instant desire to be a ninja. Sho Kosugi was my hero. Looking back at this movie 20 years later, I cound't stop giggling. This movie is SO BAD! Awful dialogue, cheesy romance (I mean, come on, semi-naked kung fu!), 80s big hair and a series of cliche characters you just had to laugh at.

Add to that fire-spewing ninjas and overacted fight scenes, where even Granny has superpowers and you have a cult classic in the making.

They even have a mask-wearing blood-spurting bad guy. I mean, it doesn't get any better than this. They even have gratuitous booblage (but no, I won't post pictures here :P)
