A new skin re-do. This is what I do when I’m up late.. can’t sleep and am in pain. I dink around with plain ol’ designs for my blog. Somehow, I always migrate back to the same cool shades of blue - - wonder why that is? Guess I’m a cool blue kinda gal?
The tag line? “Your Kung Fu Is Not Strong”.. a line from my favorite geek actor in one of my favorite flicks.
Without giving the premise of the movie away - - D.J. Qualls plays a computer geek/hacker and the government is trying to recruit him for a secret, black-ops mission. His known hacking skills are notorious - - he’s hacked the NSA, FBI and NASA’s computer databases. His character, “Rat”, explains that he uses a program that he wrote himself called “Kung Fu” - - When asked by a Fed. how he managed to hack the NSA’S Computer system - he replies with “Your kung fu is not strong”
Other “Rat” quotes from the movie that I liked:
When the FBI agent was doubting “Rat’s” skill level…
Taz ‘Rat’ Finch: How many languages do you speak?
Dr. Conrad Zimsky: Five, actually.
Taz ‘Rat’ Finch: I speak one. One Zero One Zero Zero. With that I could steal your money, your secrets, your sexual fantasies, your whole life. In any country, any time, any place I want. We multitask like you breathe. I couldn’t think as slow as you if I tried.
——
On a side note - - I knew I couldn’t have 10 root canals done in one week without having at least one problem. One of the teeth got abscessed real bad - to the point where my face blew up like a water balloon. Not good. I was in the dentist’s chair once again today to get it fixed - - but only after a full weekend filled with Vicodin and coffee… if you tried getting ahold of me over the weekend and were wondering why you did not get a response? That is why. I was comatose.
I’m all better now. On the mend. Ready to embark to all points sandy, sunny and sexy on the 1st! Finally!
We get a lot of electrical storms around...

Oh yeah…I remember that movie. I think I need to throw it in my blockbuster queue now. The husband will probably kill me because (if I’m not mistaken) I think he hated that movie.
Whenever I hear Kung Fu used in the same sentence as geek speak, I always think of X-Files and The Lone Gunmen.

Okay, I added the movie to my Netflix Queue. I sure hope it’s as good as Jet Li’s Hero…
Glad to hear you’re mouth’s doing well!

As I sit here waiting the start of my midterm in Torts (first year law school), I thought to myself, “Your kung fu is not strong.” I know I am ready. My kung fu is strong. They shall not defeat me. My skills shall conquer. Thank you, kung fu sister, for your words.

Actully the quote can be traced further back to the dragon ball movie, master roshi says to iampsha “your kung fu is very strong”
