This is always fun
I’ve done this in the past and it’s always kind of fun. I take a look at my web stats and look at the search terms that people used that brought them to my humble web page and then try and help them with their request. Sometimes the results are downright shocking, at least in the past. This time around they are much more conservative but we can still have some fun with them. Here we go.
The number one phrase this month that brought people to my website was: Tiny Monkeys. I kid you not. I’m assuming this is coming from my About page or something as I don’t really recall writing that in any other place. Hopefully this will give you a little help in your search if you came here looking for Tiny Monkeys.
The pygmy marmoset of South America is the smallest living monkey in the world. The picture here is a baby and is the size of a human’s thumb. That’s a pretty freaking tiny monkey if I ever saw one. There you go and there you have it.
For all those of you that don’t like monkeys, you can leave now.
The next fun search phrase is: cyber punk make up. I assume someone is wanting to get ready for Halloween early and is infatuated with the cyberpunk lifestyle that will never really exist, much to the shallow dismay of my shattered dreams from college. So here are my tips for dressing up cyberpunk.
Go to you local thriftstore and buy up all the leather clothes they have. Tear out the seams of all the clothes you bought and make a kickass patchwork leather trenchcoat. When you get bored with this idea, throw it away and dig through your parents old wardrobe. They haven’t told you but back in the early 80′s there were really into the Punk scene after Glam Rock started going out of style. Dress up in their torn fishnets and leathers. Mind you that you are in your parents punk wardrobe and not your creepy uncle’s hidden wardrobe.
Next go to Radio Shack and buy a bunch of cheap resistors. Use hot glue (because it hurts more, and the cyberpunk world should hurt) and blue them to your hands and face. The go spike up your hair all crazy and wrap some chains around various body parts. Grab an old PC keyboard ((Mac won’t do) preferably black) and cut the cord off. Use the cut off cord to rig a sling for the keyboard so you can strap it over your shoulder. You are a Decker aren’t you?
Generally the next step would be to strap your katana to your back and lash your sawed off shotgun to your thigh, but those carefree days seem to have been forgotten in the haze that is terrorism, our government and politically correct morons. Choose this step for authenticity but do so at your own risk.
And the last fun search phrase I will address is: nintendo ds cantonese.
I can save you a lot of trouble right now and tell you that there is not a Cantonese version of the Nintendo DS. There are Chinese versions but the only real difference is the power supply and the instruction booklet. If you get an official Hong Kong DS then you might get some Traditional Chinese in the documentation but that’s about it.
If you are looking for Cantonese games for the Nintendo DS, you are similarly out of luck. Games are released in localized versions for the United States, Europe and Japan with a few recent releases targeted at Korea. I know many people here in Hong Kong seem to have little difficulty with the Japanese releases as a third of the written Japanese language is Traditional Chinese.
OK that’s the last of what I feel like writing about. Hope that helps someone.

Miss Boo truly enjoyed the pic of the pygmy marmoset. It’s one of the featured animals on Go Diego Go. It’s much cuter in real life than in animation on that show.

I don’t know what Go Diego Go is (although I assume a travel show spotlighting San Diego) but I’m glad she like it! Now show her the woodchuck!
