About Me
Sors salutis
et virtutis
michi nunc contraria,
est affectus
et defectus
semper in angaria.
Hac in hora
sine mora
corde pulsum tangite;
quod per sortem
sternit fortem,
mecum omnes plangite!

--- Carl Orff, "Carmina Burana: O Fortuna"

it's been too long since i blogged. watched 3 movies in this period of time. "2046", "The Incredibles" and "Everybody Has Secrets".

well about "2046", from what i have heard a lot of people thought it was boring, but i like it. interesting movie with 2 alternating scenes. one is of the actual main character, which the other is of the book he was writing, which is titled "2046". the character is a writer, who meets, loves and screws many women along the way in his life, but he can never forget the first woman he has ever loved. of the other women he met, he put them as characters in the book he wrote, and in these characters emphasised the way each woman wanted to live their life. it was meant to be a sort of artistic way of film expression, but well either you love the show or lambast it to the pits of the hell.

"The Incredibles" was more of an outing to see superheroes work together to save the day, albeit a slightly dysfunctional superhero family. was a fun show to watch, worth the money i paid. "Everybody Has Secrets" was more of a korean flick with a twist. it was more comedy and lots of sexual innuendo, but apart from it's adult jokes nothing much. a little superficial but still entertaining.

had exams (it sucked), started on miniature wargaming (fun but painting the stuff can be a pain), and well basically bummed a lot since the hols started. i like miniature wargaming though, a refreshing change from the pc strategy games where you move in real time and kill, slaughter, destroy etc. wargaming is turn-based and a lot of things boils down to the player and how he builds and utilises his army to maximise their capabilities within a points-limited army system. i like the fluff behind the things, and the two games i am currently playing are "Warmachine" and "Warhammer 40,000". great games where 40k proves to be more strategy-heavy while Warmachine is more aggressive and action-based. i also learnt a lot on painting miniatures from looking up on these two games. will try to post pics of my painted stuff (when i fix the digital camera). but one word of caution: it is a very expensive hobby and a $$$ heavy investment. it is down to whether you like to paint it too or just wanna play it. have the patience to paint, for i am cultivating that patience too.
