Update on Kevin Everett:

Kevin Everett voluntarily moved his arms and legs on Tuesday when partially awakened, prompting a neurosurgeon to say the Buffalo Bills' tight end would walk again -- contrary to the grim prognosis given a day before.

 

Based on our experience, the fact that he's moving so well, so early after such a catastrophic injury means he will walk again," said Dr. Barth Green, chairman of the department of neurological surgery at the University of Miami school of medicine.

 

"It's totally spectacular, totally unexpected," Green told The Associated Press by telephone from Miami.

 

Green said he's been consulting with doctors in Buffalo since Everett sustained a life-threatening spinal cord injury Sunday after ducking his head while tackling the Denver Broncos' Domenik Hixon during the second-half kickoff of the Bills' season opener.

Everett remains in intensive care at Buffalo's Millard Fillmore Gates Hospital and will be slowly taken off sedation and have his body temperature warmed over the next day, Green said. Doctors will then begin taking the player off life support systems -- including a respirator -- currently controlling his body functions.

 

"It's feasible, but it's not 100 percent predictable at this time ... he could lead a normal life," Green said.

 

On Monday, Bills orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Andrew Cappuccino, said Everett likely wouldn't walk again.

 

"A best-case scenario is full recovery, but not likely," said Cappuccino, who operated on the reserve tight end. "I believe there will be some permanent neurologic deficit."

It finally happened - we went and saw Marilyn Manson in concert last Friday, August 31.

We got to the Reliant Arena pretty early and whiled the time away people watching. The Manson didnt get on til 10:30 but there were two acts that played ahead of him. A local band whose name I cannot remember and whose 22 minute set sounded like they played one whole song continuously and Slayer.

Slayer was loud. Slayer was mean. Slayer rocked. A lot of the people actually felt that Slayer should have been the main act. But nope. Nothing compares to the showmanship and total entertainment experience that goes with a Manson concert.

He played nonstop for an hour and a half. His vocal quality never suffered. His voice sounded exactly like he sounds on a CD. He played mostly songs from his new album, and I dont have any complaints about that. Of course he played my current fave - his cover of Sweet Dreams by the Eurythmics.

Treat for the night - a sexy girl, dressed in a maids outfit walks in pushing a cake on a cart. Manson sings to her and snaps her head off; sings to the head for a while then dumps the head on the cart. Sexy girl walks off. Creepiness.

It was a magical lights and sound show that I wont forget for a long time.

Angst and androgyny rocks !!!

Watched Fracture the other night. It's like CSI meets Silence of the Lambs. A really good film. Great Performances from Ryan Gosling and Sir Anthony Hopkins.

I actually didnt expect to like this movie. First off, I watched on a plane during a flight from Houston to San Diego.

Second, I had a seat that was not positioned well enough to see the screen at a good angle.

Third, I am notorious for falling asleep on planes regardless of the chaos around me.

But I started to watch this movie and was hooked. The opening scene in itself is enough to catch anyones attention -- I mean, a movie that tells you who killed who and why within the first 15 minutes is a rarity. But thats exactly what Fracture does.

We see a controlled performance by Anthony Hopkins as a genius engineer whose wife is cheating on him. He kills her - no bones about it, and proceeds to muddle up the evidence such that the crime he admitted to committing cannot be pinpointed back to him.

Ryan Gosling holds his own against Anthony Hopkins. He plays a brash, ambitious Deputy DA on his way to a cushy private sector job. He gets called on this case and sees it as his quick last case before he goes off to the bigtime world of litigation law. Little does he know that this case will change the very course of his life.

Genius that he is, Ted Crawford (Hopkins' character) has managed to manipulate the evidence such that he cannot be pinpointed for the crime he has admitted to. Everyone knows he did it, they just cant prove it. However, he did not take into account the tenacity and smarts of Willy Beachum (Gosling's DA character). Beachum got obsessed by the case - especially when Crawford got acquitted. His obsession and eventual discoveries are actuallly the meat of this movie.

This is a good film. Not an excellent one - it basically rehashes a plot line that has been done before... but in a different way. What works for it is the way it was paced - tight and quick (although to my mind, it got a bit slow towards the middle part). The denouement was perfectly executed though. It was a perfectly entertaining film that I did not regret staying awake for.

I got everything wyld... cept the no more than two hours... really? darn i havent yet considered that as a factor... if that works.. i owe you...

Personally, if I nap more than 2 hours I get a headache.

When I have a migraine going on, I noticed that it got worse if the nap was longer than 2 hours.

What I do is set an alarm and then just lie down in the dark, cold room until I feel that I can get up and shower.

Let me know how it turns out for you.

My remedies:

Coffee and 2 capsules Excedrin or Tylenol Extra Strenght OR

A can of icecold Diet Coke or Diet Mountain Dew (gotta be diet for the extra caffeine kick) and 2 capsules Excedrin or Tylenol Extra Strength

PLUS

No more than 2 hours of sleep in a cold, dark room.

Upon waking up, I have a cold shower and im good as new.

When my migraines were really bad I was on prescription Avamigran but that kinda went away by itself.

^ Your best bet is to ask someone from the US order it for you ...

Kasi if it just got released here recently ... chances are matagal tagal pa yan bago ma release sa Manila.

The answer to this question is already in the question itself.

Why do beautiful women fall in love with ugly men?

Beautiful women fall in love with ugly men because they have fallen in love.

Falling in love is beyond reason or explanation. Its just falling.

Stardust opened in cinemas last Friday here and I watched it that same evening. This story has always been one of my favorite books - its whimsical and light, its funny and scary, its got love and lovers, treachery and deceit. In short. Its a fairytale. The movie did just that - translated the fairy tale into a movie.

The movie succeeds in bringing people back to the day and age when The Wall and Stormhold existed. The production design was executed really well. There was just the right amount of "special effects" ... not too much that it detracts from the mood and setting of the story, but enough so that it gives the viewers little jolts every now and then. Make up and costume was flawless - especially the make up and prosthetics done on the ghosts of the 7 brothers / wannabe Stormhold heirs.

The movie starts off with a narration done by no other than Ian McKellen; this sets the mood of the movie perfectly. The movie was well acted and well directed - it made me laugh at Yvaine and Tristan's misadventures... made me want to strangle the remaining 3 brothers and the 3 witches for their selfishness. I cheered when they triumphed. I cried when Tristan realized his feelings for Yvaine.

Michelle Pfeiffer and Robert de Niro were fantastic in this movie. They camped it out .. in a big way. I guess im a bit disappointed by Clare Danes' performance as Yvaine... she was too bland, and to my mind, not magical enough to pull the role off. Charlie Cox as Tristan was fumbling and charming in just the right proportions ... but again, there was something lacking in his portrayal of the lovestruck Tristan. That to me was the biggest letdown as far as this movie was concerned - the actors playing the lead roles could have been better chosen.

There were some cinematic liberties taken with the story but I can understand why - those cinematic liberties made the story more amusing actually. They made the story more visually appealing ... and was the perfect way to bridge the gap between the written word and a movie. This movie was a real treat. One HUGE real treat. I wont gush and say the movie changed my life but im amazed and glad that I was able to visually experience one of my most favorite stories of all time.

As most fairy stories go, this one makes us believe that good will always triumph over evil and that ... happy endings are always possible - you just have to believe in them.

Movie Addicts... when you do your reviews, give us a little bit more info please...

What makes it good, what makes it bad... Review the movie, please.

Thank you ...

Sidenote: Imma watch Stardust tonight ... im not sure I can write a review that will not rave about it because... lets face it, Stardust is a Neil Gaiman story. More later.

dolce - that which when beautifully done never fails to elicit a smile from anyone. and i mean anyone.

...some discoveries are meant to humble us. and so i was. humbled. yesterday, after reading what i did, i realized that i had placed my loyalties with the wrong person. hearing one side of the story is not enough basis for me to pick a side. i forgot the term benefit of the doubt, perhaps because my attention was engaged so thorougly then.

the ironic thing is ... the discovery came from ... no other way to put it ... the source of the lie. yup. it is true. often it is our very lips that get us caught. and i caught it. in a big way. now i understand. now i know.

an apology, albeit silent... goes out to you. im sorry for making a judgment call based on only one side of the story. now i know better. im taking no ones side... i dont need to. as they always say, actions speak louder than words.

as for you ... now i know what sort of person you really are. inspite of that, a note of thanks goes out to you ... because you yourself showed me who and what you really are.

this was a lesson learned for me; an exercise in humility; a realization thats long, long, long overdue.

so in the end, curiosity does not always k*ll the cat.
