Mo Dancing

A listener mentioned viewing a You Tube clip of the Twister dancing, and Mo said he was "horrible".

Here's the Mohan dancing. It's nice to see him as a human being for a change. When he's in radio heaven, he sounds like God and Moses and Jeremiah combined - all sure and infallible. Enjoy this YouTube clip!!!

Oprah and the Buffet Way

www.zimbio.com

One caller asked about the Emmy awards yesterday, and Mo Twister noticed that Oprah looked like she "attacked a buffet." Looking at this pictures, it looks like she had a great buffet holiday. It's sad because Oprah also looks like there's something wrong with her healthwise. She looks tired. Fat or thin, the Mohandas thinks that Oprah gets defenders from those who say she looks gorgeous any size. How fair is that? I read in a recent issue of Oprah that she was so stressed from a sexual abuse incident that happened in her school in South Africa that her thyroid glands went haywire, thus the weight gain. The poor dear.

Speaking of buffets, the Mohan said that buffets were "society killers" because one is almost obligated to stuff one's self with food in a buffet, even after the point of satiety.

Mo Twister does not succumb to this temporal temptation and usually eats just one plate with another for dessert. When prodded to get more because it's 'sayang,lugi ka", he ignores it because the Mohan knows he'll balloon when he doesn't watch what he is eating.

I thought a big dog-cat fight would erupt when Mo said to Mojo to "give up the buffet, fattie..". Mojo, perhaps dreaming of food and more delicious food just drooled and said, "Embrace the buffet."

Men and Women Dream Differently

As usual Mo the Twister is correct. He has keenly observed that men and women dream differently, with men having x-rated dreams with specific partners while women have fuzzy dreams of 'embracing' and 'kissing'. Perhaps it's because women are more emotional and tend to dream in the same way, while men are visual and dream in a more erotic way?

According to Dr Mark Blagrove, a reader in psychology at Swansea University who has studied 100,000 people's dream experiences as part of a nationwide survey, a typical married couple sleeping side by side would have completely different types of dream, often at the same time.

The research shows that women's dreams:
Are increasingly about work;
Have more emotion in them;
Are likely to last longer;
Are more often based on the home, and
Involve more characters, especially family members

Men's dreams:
Have more strangers;
More often involve cars, roads and violence;
Feature more sex with unknown partners, and
Are more often about work, concerning redundancy and financial security.

Mojo who is half Pinoy and half Pinay dream differently too. She/he dreams of Heart Evangelista (in an x-rated way?) Blush, blush!!!

The Twilight Saga

The Twister and Grace Lee are now reading the Twilight saga by Stephanie Meyer, and reviews have been mixed about this book, ranging from 'sophomoric' to 'sappy' and 'unsophisticated'. The US School Library Journal recommends this book reading to Grade 9 students!

"Headstrong, sun-loving, 17-year-old Bella declines her mom's invitation to move to Florida, and instead reluctantly opts to move to her dad's cabin in the dreary, rainy town of Forks, WA. She becomes intrigued with Edward Cullen, a distant, stylish, and disarmingly handsome senior, who is also a vampire. When he reveals that his specific clan hunts wildlife instead of humans, Bella deduces that she is safe from his blood-sucking instincts and therefore free to fall hopelessly in love with him.

The feeling is mutual, and the resulting volatile romance smolders as they attempt to hide Edward's identity from her family and the rest of the school. Meyer adds an eerie new twist to the mismatched, star-crossed lovers theme: predator falls for prey, human falls for vampire. This tension strips away any pretense readers may have about the everyday teen romance novel, and kissing, touching, and talking take on an entirely new meaning when one small mistake could be life-threatening. Bella and Edward's struggle to make their relationship work becomes a struggle for survival, especially when vampires from an outside clan infiltrate the Cullen territory and head straight for her.

As a result, the novel's danger-factor skyrockets as the excitement of secret love and hushed affection morphs into a terrifying race to stay alive. Realistic, subtle, succinct, and easy to follow, Twilight will have readers dying to sink their teeth into it.–Hillias J. Martin, New York Public Library"

What romance! Grace Lee imagines Edward Cullen as this utterly divine being, and as a result will not watch the movie, due out in November 2008,because the actor who will portray Cullen (Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter) is not as perfect as the character portrayed in the book. No movie really justifies the movie based on it. Can you name one?

The Office

www.theofficetally.com

Sorry Mohan. This is not the 2008 winner of the Best Comedy series. This is a file taken in 2006 when The Office won the Emmys for Best COmedy.

30 Rock with Alec Baldwin and Tina Fey dominated the winners for Comedy this season.

The Office with Steve Carrell didn't win anything, which is bad considering that this is Mo's favorite show.

House and Ugly Betty, some of the Twister's favorite shows, didn't win any awards too.
