movies...

Kai did a pretty cool and neat page for his recent film watching record and comment.

Just added here in case I can't find it later...

Politically Incorrect

This Politically Incorrect Dictionary contains some interesting terms...

Some examples are:

- Eastern (As when used when discussing Asian Culture) - Too Eurocentric. Instead, use Africa as your frame of reference. When discussing European culture you should now use the phase "Northern", and when discussing Asia use the phrase "North-Eastern". Now isn't that better?

- Ghetto - Replaced by Economically disadvantaged area. This term is used by politicians who believe money from the Government would solve their problems.

Frankly, replace "Dictionary" by "List" may be more proper...

anger

I felt upset this evening by a unpleasant discussion on a project closng issue with the counterpart in another department, due to the opposite nature of our role plays in this project. Thought it's over and yet I am pretty annoyed by a request-but-almost-command phone call from a superior for the same issue... gosh!

Why we get angry? *sigh*...

Better it's a better idea to think more of "生氣是拿別人的過錯來懲罰自己 (Feeling angry is punishing yourself by other's mistakes)", retreived the book seires, Still Thoughts, from Master Cheng Yen

in the mood for songs

I am in the mood for songs tonight... to be correct, this early morning...

If... the oldie but goodie song with a cozy flash animation from a fotolog friend, Camera, warming my heart in this 15C cold and rainy night.

One of us... by Joan Osborne. The song I like so much and surprisingly listened to it from the radio on the way home tonight, which reminds me of a nice talk with K. (why do I keep mentioning him?!)

Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason

On the last day of 2004, me and Myriam went for Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason, quite a silly but hilarious film for celebrating our year end... huh... okay, confess! Since we ended as single women still and didn't wanna go to the boring count-down parties socializing with not-that-familiar-with friends, we thus decided to celebrate our year end with these two cute guys, Colin Firth and Hugh Grant, plus, at least we "know" them!

Actually, I like Firth's role in the two Darcies a lot, no matter Mark Darcy in this film or Fitzwilliam Darcy in the mini TV series, Pride and Prejudice (1995), or even in Jane Austin's novel. Darcy reminds me of K for his cold and arrogant attitude but the hidden tender heart. Myriam likes Firth since he also reminds her of her "best friend", A. I thus frowned and claimed that her linking Firth with him simply ruined my fantasy on Firth... well... shallow girlish talks and we were pretty delighted in sipping our drinks, pecking the popcorns, drooling for the two handsome guys, dreaming in the two-hour fantasy... and welcoming our new start of 2005!

ps. Renee Zellweger is a bit too overacting though...
