I don't care how busy you are. Do this with me.

Today, we are going into the lucrative business of band and album naming. Everybody knows a cool and ambiguous band name can Capulet you to absolute indie stardom.

Lettuce begin.

First, your band name! You don't need a cool back story
Just go to a random wikipedia page and then choose the article title as your band name
Band Name:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Randompage

Now, you need a pretentious, I mean super cool debut album name.
Go to this random quote page and scroll to the last quote. Take the Last Four Words of that Quote.
Album Name:http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3

Of course, you need a artsy fartsy cover to complete the image. Choose the third image from the first row(left to right)

Grab a few chords, some converse high tops and become the next indie critic darling.

A Summary for Beijing Olympics 2008


The days are going kinda of slowly now that the Olympics is over. Can we do it again please?

Books

I need something more to read but the library isn't stocking any books that I want.

Something old. Neil Gaimen retains his position as my favourite author with Terry Pratchett definitely piquing my interest.




Good Omens was satire gold.They managed to keep the sardonic tone, use the word apocalypse sparingly and not annoy anyone in general. I don't remember reading something milk-through-nose worthy in a long time.

The Dark Knight

I have two things pertaining to the Dark Knight.

One, remember the review I gave The Dark Knight a while ago. I mentioned the joker being a pyromaniac with no back story and no room for sympathy making him one of the best villains of our time.

There is an article devoted to this concept of how to make villains who do not suck.

If your attention span allows, click here to read it.

Secondly,if anyone is interested, The Dark Knight Script is officially available for download. It's tight script which reads like a really good comic book without pictures.

Chapter 25/08:临时抱佛脚

My sister swings a flashlight/phone/MP3 player in my face.

"Tomorrow," she intoned " you shall wake up and than brush your teeth."

"But I do that every morn-"

" You will put on your uniform and than go to school."

"But I-"

"You will do those things because I made you do them."

I watched the swinging light.

"Well, while you're at it, could you make it so I become a really good in Chinese essay writing?"

The light stopped swinging.

"Hypnosis can't do the impossible."



O Levels

are impending. Really, every time I think about the choices I have to make, the mulan song goes off in my head like a broken record leaving a tendency to be melodramatic and a fervent wish to dance.

A Reflection

I don't remember half the things I say but the things I do,I usually remember and they were probably a low petty whisper that no one else could hear.

I did do Iroh justice. Which gives closure to my involvement in the Avatar Community.

Iroh:-face contorts in disgust- This tea is nothing more than hot leaf juice!
Zuko:Uncle, that’s what all tea is.

Tip of the Day

I should write tutorials, share tips etc because it's selfish to keep information to oneself.

I'll start small.

Youtube now allows high quality videos to be posted. While for some videos you are able to select High Quality as an option, there are others which don't reveal the choice.

To watch videos in the quality they have been uploaded, simply add &fmt=18to the end of the url. Refresh and you have high quality viewing.

Hiatus

A word clearly stamped across the page. I'm sad not to be writing too . The next scheduled posts are on the 7/9/2008 and 14/11/2008.

End Transmission then.
