Oh my god the birthday scene in the last episode of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles Season 1 is SO SAD. T_T I could watch it a million times over and hope that something like that will happen to me. When time travel becomes possible.

OMG so I'm not the only one who takes notice of the frequency of turn signals?! Sometimes at traffic junctions I'll notice how the turn signals of the car in front and mine fall in and out of phase. It's quite hypnotising and sometimes causes me to get horned at by the car behind. D:

Been on a movie rental spree lately, after that movie marathon with 5TORM on Friday. Especially since that video rental store has quite a selection of local movies, which I've been renting. Okay, okay, so most of them are Eric Khoo stuff. Like Mee Pok Man and My Magic. They've got 12 Storeys and Be With Me as well, which I want to watch too. Maybe next time. He is pretty depressing, so I can't overdose. Besides, I might fall asleep or go HUH??? They've pretty much got most of the films that were mentioned during COM203. Gosh, that feels like a lifetime ago already. =/
Anyway, just finished watching Gone Shopping. The one with Kym Ng and Adrian Pang in it. I guess they know no one's going to actually watch this, which is why they billed Pang as a kinda co-star, when he's actually credited as a guest star in the film. I'd rather they not cheat my feelings like that. D: But at least Pang got an acceptable amount of screen time. He'd have been better off if he lost the moustache though. Or grew a real one.
It's a pretty strange movie, but not bad. At least I could finish it. What I was struck by though, was the soundtrack. So I paid some attention to the rolling credits, did some Googling, and found the MySpace page of the music composer, Joe Ng. The song that caught my ear is "I'm Home", and you can find it on his MySpace.
What made me sit up though, was his filmography, because he apparently did the music for Six Weeks as well. :O SIX WEEKS. That 6 episode Channel i drama starring Adrian Pang, specially produced to commemorate (is that the right word?) the shutting down of the station. Channel U had a similar drama starring Bryan Wong which I didn't catch. Anyway, I LOVED the ending theme of Six Weeks. I loved it so much that I recorded it and I have it backed up on a CD somewhere. Just have to find it. But I don't need to hear it again to remember how it went.
Anyway, here's the Gone Shopping trailer:

I am really really sick of this layout. I mean, I like it and all, but I think it's been around for almost a year. Damn, has it been that long? =/
Just have to get the inspiration to whip up something I don't hate. Been opening up Photoshop, filling a blank canvas with various colours, but I just can't get anything out. Maybe I should go around taking photos again, and make layouts the way I used to. Everything by hand. Everything mine. No stock photos or brushes or fancy schmancy code. Just what I want to do. Hmmm.

Met with an almost accident today. Was in the driving circuit, and on the left were motorbike learners negotiating some obstacles. It was the kind where they placed a few cones spaced apart, and the bike had to weave in and out of them. A girl was on the course when my car passed, but on one bend she leaned too far to the right and skidded. The bike landed slightly in front of my car, but luckily my instructor jammed on the emergency brakes, or there'd be a lot of repair bills to foot. >.< I was pretty shaken for the next half of the lesson, LOL. Luckily, the girl wasn't hurt.
Accompanied mum to see the pain specialist today. He was wearing a tie with the periodic table on it! So cute.
Was also forced/guilt-tripped into cleaning up my room. Flipped through some of my secondary school and JC stuff while going through my things. 懐かしかったね。 あの時はとても楽しくて、戻りたいです。最近はどうして疲れたのか、知らない。もし大人になることはまだ準備していますから。

Ripped the audio from this vid and it's on my playlist running on loop. Awesome is not enough to describe this song. I love simple, acoustic songs like that. And the lyrics are just too cute. xD Gotta love the moustache too.
I am bound by responsibility, blood and fate
to a life from which I cannot escape.

New single from Spitz! It's been out for awhile already actually, but I only knew about it when I saw it at HMV the other day. I'd get it, but $16 for two songs is way too much. I checked out iTunes Japan to see if I can buy individual songs, but I can't get past the search page because I don't have the software and I'm not going to download it. =/Anyway, 若葉 (wakaba) is already on my playlist's repeat. :D Love the melody, the guitar, everything. It's classic Spitz and brings with it a twinge of nostalgia. Now to get my hands on the lyrics and try to painstakingly decipher them.
Haven't listened to them for some time. A few months, maybe? It's really comforting, like settling into your favourite chair for an afternoon of good reading. Not that I'd know what that feels like, because I don't have a favourite chair. I do most of my reading while travelling or before I sleep. But yeah, one can imagine what it's supposed to feel like. Like happiness. Or contentment. Or one of those vague, abstract feelings that I don't ever seem able to hold tightly onto. They slip away like wisps of smoke between my fingers.
There is so much to say, but sometimes the words don't come, and there's no sense in shouting to a deaf wind.
