Just wanted to blog anything at this point.  Guess what?  It had to be the iPod touch.   Knowing I have no finances to acquire one, I guess I won't find out what's so  funny  about it 'til muuuch later.

Cinema Europa : Truly A Joy

Image
Yesterday, through the kindness of a family friend, a well-known writer and one of the most beautiful people I know, I was able to watch the Czech film Kráska v nesnázích (2006) / Beauty in Trouble after a long hibernation from Euro films. I'd like to think we had a date of sorts. And to think we were planning to watch Hellboy 2: The Golden Army because it was opening this week. That would have been tiring. I remember enjoying Art Films we were introduced to (from all over the world) when I was taking up Film in College and I really enjoy watching European Films that aren't too commercial in nature. I always felt they were better made because of their intrinsic value anyway. Of course, it helps a lot when the films are being shown for free. This ongoing Film Festival is a diehard's or any moviegoer's dream come true for that matter, given the cross-section of the audience I saw when they flipped the lights on. If only the movie house wasn't far from our place an

Games I Play

Games on my PSP : Virtua Tennis Ridge Racers 2 Ratchet and Clank : Size Matters 7 Wonders of the Ancient World Puzzle Guzzle Hot Shots Golf Open Tee 1 & 2 Others Games on my Wii : Top Spin 3 Sega Superstars Tennis Super Mario Galaxy Super Smash Bros. Brawl Rockstar Presents Table Tennis Tiger Woods PGA Golf 2007 Pangya Super Swing Golf Legend of Zelda : Twilight Princess Wario Ware: Smooth Moves Countless Others What I wish I had this Christmas: A new battery pack for my fat PSP; not the fake one which dies down after two measly hours of gameplay. Guitar Hero for my Wii including Guitar and Software.  Whooo. But just being able to play those that I already have (and the titles are so many) is Christmas enough for me.  They help keep me focused.  Merry Christmas thinking on this rather fickly/blustery day of September.

Proof Positive of "X" man

Just to prove how ingeniously interactive my "X" man is: Who ever heard of a garbage collector collect garbage and shout to the top of his lungs on a very rainy day at 12:45pm, lunchbreak?  I know these people work for NGO's (non-government organizations), but who actually paid them to do this today of all miserable days ? I didn't have to look/scowl outside the window.  I can smell them one room away from my bedroom.

And how was your day?

How is YOUR day going? o0o     First you had trouble getting out of bed       You had a stiff neck You washed your hair and couldn't do a thing with it    You felt like you had a hangover and you weren't even drinking last night   Your new diet really doesn't seem to be working out   You pulled a muscle when you tried to exercise      Your new hat looked better on you at the store You keep losing things The boss chewed you out at work You got caught in the rain at lunchtime   Then the lunch you had didn't seem to agree with you You feel trapped Uninvited guests showed up at dinnertime   On top of that you think you're coming down with the flu    And finally, you're alone in the house at night when you think you hear a noise in the basement   MAYBE TOMORROW WILL BE BETTER!!

Asking yourself the ultimate question

I.   PREMISE:   Have you ever asked yourself why you or I are here?   II.     QUESTION:   What are we doing here?   (the existentialist question to ask)  ...If not, isn't it about time you asked? III.   EXAMPLE/SPECIFICS:   If I know I'd be happier basking in the sun of Southern France drinking Kool-Aid or something more exotic, just know I will definitely be more productive doing it (like thinking of the next successful movie I'm making in my head), and feel I badly deserve it; yet I find myself sitting at home watching some awfully-produced cable program at 9:30 in the morning day in and day out waiting for the next worse program to air for the last 20 years; then what the hell am I doing here?   Why can't I be where I feel I truly belong?  In the company of truly remarkable people I can relate to.  Why can't I have a life I truly love and not something I feel I don't even have to face or do?  What am I waiting for?  My insignificant ( ie minute

Knowledge of the Dwarf : Acknowledgment of my Neighbor

Dwarf From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This article is about the mythical creature. For the medical condition, see  Dwarfism . For other uses, see  Dwarf (disambiguation) . Dwarves Men hur kommer man in i berget, frågade tomtepojken ("But how do I get into the mountain?" the young dwarf asked.) by  John Bauer . Creature Name: Dwarves Classification Grouping: Mythological creature Fairy Data First reported: In folklore Country: Northern Europe Status: Unconfirmed A  dwarf  is a creature from  Germanic mythologies ,  fairy tales ,  fantasy fiction , and  role-playing games . It usually has magical talents, often involving metallurgy. The original concept of dwarves is very difficult to determine. The sources closest to the original Germanic mythology come from Norse Mythology, but even these are scarce and varied. Sources have gradually given dwarves more comical and superstitious roles. [1] Dwarves were certainly humanoid, but sources differ over  their height , their lif
