赤壁

I bet you thought it was joke, but apparently there are people in this world who think 金城武 makes a convincing 诸葛亮. Wow. And here’s an illustration in case you forgot what 诸葛亮 looks like.

I still like him, just that maybe I like not ruining 诸葛亮 more. Anyway here’s a movie that I’d go [...]

Eternal Summer

(note bluish tone in movie poster) Watched it yesterday night
english release trailer:

Taiwan trailer:

note how the english trailer categorizes the movie as ‘gay movie’ by underplaying the girl’s role in the story and simplifying the dynamics of their relationship. Actually the English trailer is kinda misleading in that [...]

DSLR

is it just me or did DSLRs go down in price?
I know, I’ll get one next year when I get the second half of my sign-on bonus.
Living in Seattle though, for some reason, doesn’t really inspire me to take pictures, like being in Taiwan makes me want to take one every other second. Seattle is [...]

擁抱

擁抱
昨天太近　明天太遠　默默聆聽那黑夜
晚風吻盡　荷花葉　任我醉倒在池邊
等你清楚看見我的美　月光曬乾眼淚
哪一個人　愛我　將我的手　緊握　
抱緊我　吻我　喔　愛　別走
yesterday is too close, tomorrow is too far. listen silently to the night
the night wind grazes the lotus leaf. left me drunken by the pond
when you clearly realize my beauty       the moonlight had dried the tears
whoever. loves me. hold my hand         tightly
hold me tight         kiss me
oh. love         don’t go
I’ve never seen song lyrics being translated into English from [...]

“Ketchup Diplomacy in Red China”

tomatoes
“So the way to save the world’s tomato industry is by getting the Chinese to eat more junk food?” I whispered to the representative of a major food processing company.
“You weren’t supposed to notice that,” she responded.
I think I was too busy thinking about tomatoes to really understand the article…hmm…tomatoes…anything that will drive down the [...]

it’s now getting ridiculously cold in Seattle

(and lexington, but hopefully I won’t be spending too much more time there)
why is this so expensive??
$100+ I can deal with, but at this point it’s getting ridiculously expensive.
but then it does look really nice and warm, and it is getting ridiculously cold in Seattle, like I said, and I don’t want to wear my [...]

mayday!

sudden re-realization that I love so many mayday songs..it’s like almost all of them. Although I think there is one album that I didn’t remember many songs from…..
I really like the lyrics to their songs. Ashin wrote about 99% of them (and melody too) (ok I know that’s not a realistic percentage, but there are [...]
