2012


2012 is the end of the world according to the Mayan calendar. Is it true or not? Well, according to the new Hollywood blockbuster to join the line of disaster movies that predict apocalypse in the most devastating way..it is. So what I think of the movie, is that it is a worthy addition with fantastic CGI and a very smart script that ties everything up nicely until the end with nary a huge gaping plot hole like in most other movies of this genre. It was interesting how it manages to craftily interweave the obligatory action scenes with heart wrenching human drama to elicit the most out of audiences. Boy have they gotten so good at that. And that is why I cannot find fault with this movie except to say, I was very entertained and hell of a job!

Bloodsword!


This is my most favourite series of gamebooks from my childhood, unfortunately my mom threw them away (she thought they were having devilish influence on me due to the contents and undoubtedly the covers on the books did not help, as if what I see on tv isn't worse!) so now I'm trying to find anyone with a copy so that I can go to the printers and get them copied for myself. I looked online but the series is not complete and Book 5: Walls of Spyte can't be found and the rest cost a fortune! So I'm hoping someone here in Malaysia will be able to help..

excerpt of a dialogue about Twilight the movie.

Was it all that you hoped it would be? The wolf is hot..I actually watched the first installment of Twilight last week and hated it. Practically an insult to the mythology of vampirism. Cranked out for the mass consumption of PG rated audiences who pander to insipid commercialism. Not that I have anything against that, I loved 2012. But Twilight was rubbish, movies about vampires should preserve the aura, mysticism, allure and seduction that it deserves as a legendary iconic mythos. I just hope the second one will be better..

Feel like shit today..

My face is in pain, my sinuses are totally stuffed up and my back is in pain, probably cause I was out the whole day yesterday window shopping, I feel like a sick old man now. My eyes feel sore as I'm typing this, I just feel like crawling back into bed..I thought maybe I should get up and do something..like updating my blog..but I think it was a bad idea..the bed is a better idea..

Need to get my groove back..

It's been a while since I updated my blog. I guess part of it was procrastination (that's a way of saying I'm lazy! :P) anyways, the other part of it is because (oops, there I go again, this is being continued after an hour of doing other stuff, bad bad bad, need to focus..) yeah so anyways, the other part was cause I was in a fucked up relationship, long long long story, but basically just caused me to clam up totally and just didn't want to be so open about things, learned a painful lesson about how some people can just pretend things are ok and not tell you when it's actually not, and then you find out in the most horrible way..whatever, anyways I need to put that behind me. It's been sometime, nearly 2 months, I really need to get my groove back, so hopefully I do, and will continue to write here regularly again!
