Dearest evil rei, I do believe that is polaroid camera is just a novelty item...because I like taking pictures...but you should seriously consider getting a DVD player...its a worthwhile investment considering all the references you can get from the movies ( not to mention its just plain enjoyment to watch movies at home at your own time ). Heck, you can even freeze frame by frame to check for movie mistakes. Just save up for say 2 or 3 months and get a player, then take your time to buy whatever dvd you want or order them from amazon. My father recommends yamaha's dvd player which is multi-coded, meaning it plays all region, at bout 300 plus. I might even be able to ask for a discount. How's that ? :) :: Der Blaue Reiter 10/24/2001 08:52:15 PM [+]

evil rei, i remember las time lecturers keep saying: it s not the equipment that matters (the only thing they can say sadly) ... now my boss oso saying the same thing ... so u see, it s jus a slight equipment gap ... hahaha ... not generation gap! but maybe to prepare u psychologically: let u noe i m seeing a blurry turn-table animation of a digital cam now in my brain ... floating ... floating ... :: = gatchaman = 10/24/2001 10:33:09 AM [+]

*laughs loudly* Gatchaman, seems highly unlikely that you would be tempted to buy something on impulse ! But there's nothing to be ashamed about I suppose, for I myself am highly susceptible to glossy magazine covers and nice books, some of which have manifestly no apparent use for me other than looking really nice themselves. Maybe what I mean is we sometimes just buy something because it really does look real good ( or irresistable for that matter).
On the other hand, Polaroid going kaboom might not be such a bad thing...we could keep our camera's as antiques next time...ha...personally i'm hoping their exposures would get alot cheaper so Polaroiding would be more affordable. :: Der Blaue Reiter 10/24/2001 12:00:00 AM [+]

[the immunity against gossip] in the past, i ve a enemy to death. it s gossip. i hated it like fire hates water, there could be no reconcile. and i had forgotten since when my hatred harbored. but it always makes me wants to kill. but after much research and interview with world renowned professionals in the the study of gossip, i ve gained much new insight to my nemesis. and the most important of all is that, the more u fight it, the stronger it becomes. a war against gossip is always a losing battle. it s a deadly virus that ll infect anyone, even those who hates and fights it. because everyone wants a piece of the latest rumour, wants to feel important by expressing their self righteous opinion on what they feel is right and what they feel is wrong, for someone whom they dun even care abt in the first place. but the sad thing is i havent decided what i should do with my greatest enemy. i do know there is a saying abt loving your enemy but it s a hard thing to do for this very one. maybe i m simply waiting for some silent and swift justice. but at the moment, it seems the only immune against gossip is to gossip.
i have tried to promote the book 'the little prince' to P relentlessly somewhile ago, but P simply claims to dislike reading. recently, P finally read the book. i feel so pleased as if it s some sorta achievement, especially when P likes it and use the word 'enchanting' to describe the reading experience. but on the other hand, i m oso kinda bitter that P was able to find such a good word to describe the experience, for i ve long been searching for such a word, ever since my 1st reading, but in vain. i got very interested in this book when my brother told me abt the beginning of the book, many years after he read it (in his secondary skool days!!!). we used to share with each other abt such things (movies,books,comics), even until now that we arent living together, and it remains a mystery to me why he would only ve told me abt the existence of this book until 3 years ago. perhaps, he did told me long ago but i din pay attention to it? motivated by my success with P (and what a shameless claim to make), i read the book again today. usually i only read bits and pieces of it again. i also took some effort to put up the beginning of 'the little prince', hoping that it may also interest some of u to read the book, just like it once did to me. here is the link! :: = gatchaman = 10/21/2001 09:18:34 PM [+]

[JSA, Joint Security Area] watched the movie JSA, although it is not without flaws, but i like it because of the genuine effort to tell a story, despite the temptation to adopt a big budget hollywood style (when it did have a much bigger budget than most korean films). b4 JSA, there r already a few more korean films that became box office sucesses, and the korean movie industry came to life. the same happened in thailand around the same period too. this happens when the economy is real bad. entertainment is supposed to be 1 of those to be affected most easily. but in those countries ppl are still investing in their movie industry? that i can still read reports of movie industry in korea and thailand blooming in times of econs crisis, makes me wonder again what factors really contribute to the growth of movie industry? it is just 1 or 2 good films that kick start the whole industry in those 2 countries and everything spins, whatever the economy. but din we have 'money no enough' some time ago? makes me wonder what really makes the difference ... pls dun tell me it is just because this is sing-ah-po-lar. :: = gatchaman = 10/15/2001 03:30:47 PM [+]

hello all this is evil rei making an annoucement *repeating wat i have say in Halcyon Realms * my url is now change note..~~ due to some toopid thing i did on my previous site well..~ my url is note!!!! http://t-cude.tripod.com and not t_cude anymore i say again http://t-cude.tripod.com/
[mirror on my office table] ever since i placed a car rear mirror on my table in the office, it has surprisingly generated quite a few enquiries from colleagues on its purpose. it seems that it is a very strange thing to do, esp when my back is facing the wall. it really caught me by surprise when i was 1st asked why i placed a mirror on my desk, because i never even think that i would have to explain the obvious reason for doing so.
of course, there is also a not-so-obvious reason that most true animators would know.
no man is an island, thus the constant need for a reason for things u do and to explain it again & again to ppl. esp if u r someone who are prone to doing not-so-common things, or simply has a little weird part in you (but then again, there seems always a little weirdness in everyone, maybe that s what makes us individually special ?). to be diplomatic, i gear myself operation ready with reasons for situations as such, setting a target of under 3 seconds to reply, in the most relaxed composure possible.
in my unprofessional opinion, this need to understand something and someone different seems to be inborn to all. on a negative and rather micro aspect, it leads to lunchtime gossips/discussions, while on a broader aspect, it leads to studies in animal species and space exploration. knowledge is power, be it used simply for manupilating people, or world domination.
i myself know it well. when i was a kid, i always asked my parents very loudly in public: 'why are all indians so smelly wan?', embarassing them much, i believed. of course, such insensitivity/curiosity (??) of a child can be easily forgiven. but as an grown up, this may be read as 'racism', 'prejudice', 'ignorance' or 'kepo-ism' ?
but for now, i need to take 3 to admire at my handsome face in my rear mirror. :: = gatchaman = 10/10/2001 11:57:40 AM [+]
