There are close to 7 billion people in this world. O.o

Wall.E

Pixar and Disney are a great match. Pixar has the humor and talent and Disney has the funding. It's perfect. Once again these two major forces have teamed up and brought to life another unforgettable character in the form of Wall.E. From what I see in previews, this little guy is adorable. Pixar could inject personality into a washing machine. I mean they've already done it to transportation vehicles.

While surfing the net for more information on the movie (without reading too many spoilers) I found a pretty good plot synopsis on IMDB. Its a good story on an interesting theory thats out there but doesn't seem too far fetched.


Now Advertlets, will be having a special screening of Wall.E on the 11th of August. Click the link for more info. Hope to see you guys there.

I found some teaser clips on youtube. There's a few of these. I believe some tv spots were shown during halftime at the Superbowl.

Made of Honour

Advertlets having a special screening for Made of Honour.
Patrick Dempsey in another romantic comedy. Why am I not surprised?
Ever since Mr.McDreamy got named McDreamy in Greys Anatomy you just knew where this was headed. No action movies for him.

I was surprised though when I saw him in an episode of Will & Grace. He was Will's in-the-closet boyfriend in a couple of episodes. I love Will & Grace, and those episodes were hilarious.

I have to say I'm looking forward to this movie, it seems like a cool show. Fun to be had by all.

I had it all but I misplaced it...

Ah not exactly. This being an account of how I was almost done laying out a post on the recent (not anymore) Sunburst KL music festival and forgot where I put the notepad file I wrote it in.

I believe it was lost forever with my thumb drive. Ah well. The events of the day might be fuzzy but the natural high I got that day/night is firmly tattooed in my subconscious. It must be said, it was THE most awesome, fantastically rocking, mantasmagorical event that I've been to thus far and I'm not saying it just because Incubus was there.

Remind me to rewrite a full account with pictures, for memory preserving reasons, later when work and life doesn't get in the way.

It has to be said though, this is the year of the concert.

This being an account of yesterday and today.

Monday
Wish you were here

Now who YOU are I'm not sure, but I hope you're out there. Someone to share a soul with. Perhaps not in this lifetime or the next but eventually. So this is my love message to you.....GET.ON.YOUR.WAY.RIGHT.NOW.

Now what happened yesterday...hmmm...

This is an obsession, perhaps I just a need to fill some sort of void in my life thus I take on some sort of project. Which usually involves me spending a shitload of money on the aforementioned obsession. So yes I went shopping online (the credit card, ever since I got it has been the bane of my existence). Not that I'm knee deep in debt it's just that it's so easy to buy stuff. So technically I have the possibility to be knee deep in debt. However, all thoughts about future life savings aside, I am now the proud owner of two more Incubus CDs and both of Brandon Boyds art books/journals. I am well stoked, as Kat from LA Ink would say. As well as well broke. Ah well.

Good thing though, these obsessions have posed some sort of learning curve for me though it's one of those things in life where you have to realize it as one...hmmm...I'm BRILLIANT I know =P. Sometimes it's little things like how to handle online purchases (I was buying & selling things online even before I had my own credit card, talk about contributing to the world economy) to stuff like how to deal with people, anticipating what people want and customer service. For someone with an ego problem like me perhaps thats the toughest job ever.

I'm in the design industry, it isn't much better but despite all it's superficialities and downfalls, there's always the potential of job satisfaction and possibility of self progression. It's something that I enjoy doing. Weather it leads somewhere or nowhere. I vow to do what I enjoy and feel right doing. It's my self preservation tactic. Yeah I have a plan. I think, don't I?

I plan to write like this (I use the term write instead of type cause it seems more personal) like I'm talking to a friend or talking to myself and also I'm currently reading Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert, I like her, alot, enamored by her in fact. So there, I explained it as if i need to. =)

Random Quote: I will allow someone to love me. Thats a good line. I like it.

Random Thought: Writing is hard for me, but I want to write. How does that work?



Tuesday
Look Alive

I found out today that the Lucasfilm workshop is actually an internship program for practicing CG artists. Talk about major splash of cold water. I'm not even in that course yet and already they're looking for ppl. Wait for me~! Suppose it's to be expected, they wouldn't do something this big for free. I told you I was smart =P.

Words can't describe how I overflow with what seems like love whenever I listen to Incubus. It's a pleasant little ache in the center of my chest which I hope never goes away everytime I discover an amazing lyric or insane guitar riff, ridiculous bass and mad drums. Their synergy is so tight it seems effortless, which is always a sign of greatness.

I do know one ache I would like to get rid of. Fear. Everyday I can't let go of the fear that I am not good enough. Every new job, every new assignment every new freelance or offer to design I worry I'm not good enough. I wish I could just put things down and not worry so much about how my work will be received. I want to just jump in and close my eyes, drift away on whatever creative wave that carries me and never look back.

I like music

Pulsing, funky vibrations, soulful, deep, sensual, sexy, bass heavy, rocking, overwhelming, mind fuck, amazing guitar riffs, eclectic, catchy, beautiful.

Way to go obvious.

There was something I thought of a few days ago in the middle of the night, while worrying about a slight crisis which I brought upon myself. Laying there feeling sleepy but not being able to sleep, I got up and scribbled something along the lines of "Why are we more concerned with money more than time? As if the former was more important." Immediately after that point I closed my eyes and went to sleep...and woke up 3 hours later.

Club8 + Pelle

Right I was asked/told with arm twisted behind my back to blog about this. =P Nah, just kidding.

Club 8 & Pelle will be stopping by KL to perform for us at KLPac (the KL performing arts center) These talented Indie performers hail from Sweden the land of Abba, Ikea, Swedish meatballs and...well Abba. As I stock my limited knowledge of Sweden with what other things this land is made of I'll make sure to add them in.

Club 8: They've got this retro 60s vibe going but updated. It's just really good and soothing music. Catchy and easy on the ears.

Pelle: He's got some eccentric lyrics. Quite fun to listen to and makes me smile. I mean how can you not with song titles like "I Love You Imbecile" and "Go To Hell Miss Rydell". Catchy too.

I will be going to this event tomorrow night. Just hope I remember how to get there.

Albert Einstein

"My political ideal is democracy. Let every man be respected as an individual and no man idolized. It is an irony of fate that I myself have been the recipient of excessive admiration and reverence from my fellow-beings, through no fault, and no merit, of my own. The cause of this may well be the desire, unattainable for many, to understand the few ideas to which I have with my feeble powers attained through ceaseless struggle. I am quite aware that for any organization to reach its goals, one man must do the thinking and directing and generally bear the responsibility. But the led must not be coerced, they must be able to choose their leader. In my opinion, an autocratic system of coercion soon degenerates; force attracts men of low morality... The really valuable thing in the pageant of human life seems to me not the political state, but the creative, sentient individual, the personality; it alone creates the noble and the sublime, while the herd as such remains dull in thought and dull in feeling..."
---Excerpt from Albert Einstein's, "The World As I See It" (essay).

At no other time do these words seem more relevant than they are now.

I have read this paragraph over and over and I can't stop reading it, not because I don't understand laa but because he hits the nail right on its metaphorical head.
