Earl the Super Hawaiian

Awe­some. I was watch­ing Wipe­out and I Sur­vived a Japan­ese Game Show last night when the Super Hawai­ian — Round Table Pizza Ad came. To my sur­prise, it’s freakin’ the homie Earl from UC Irvine haha.

I was try­ing to con­firm to see if its really him and luck­ily found the video above at Youtube. Seems like he got in 2 out of the 5 new ads. Con­grats Earl and GJ!

Grand Theft Auto 4 is Out Today!

Seems like Grand Theft Auto IV is out today. I played the ear­lier ones for just a cou­ple of minute or two… as Jevon would get mad for dis­turb­ing his play time lol

Any­ways, I might check it out and give it a try. It’s just inter­est­ing to see what cre­ative peo­ple put into their work—it’s a nice source of cre­ative juice other than watch­ing movies/commercials, read­ing a book/magazine, or check­ing out pho­tog­ra­phy work.

Last but not least, be sure to check out this cool time-lapse video of the Offi­cial Box Art Unveil­ing below. You may also click here for the HD-quality and/or down­load­able ver­sions.

When Will I Get My Economic Stimulus Payment?

We’ve all been asking/telling our­selves: “damn, I can use some extra cash right about now.” Well, your prayers and requests have been answered as the Gov­ern­ment will soon be send­ing some dough your way:

A. The Trea­sury Depart­ment will make pay­ments start­ing in early May. Early fil­ers, espe­cially those who choose direct deposit, will get their pay­ments first.

If the IRS fin­ishes pro­cess­ing your return by April 15, you will most likely get your pay­ment based on this sched­ule. If you choose direct deposit, this means your pay­ment will arrive on May 2, May 9 or May 16. If you do not choose direct deposit, checks will be mailed between mid-May and mid-July. For this ini­tial batch of stim­u­lus pay­ments, the pay­ment date will be based on the last two dig­its of your Social Secu­rity Num­ber. [Updated 3/19/08]

But be smart about with what you do with it—or, just save it. To give you some more info on what this whole ordeal is about, you may check out the following:
