It's pouring outside and when it rains, our house gets extremely noisy as the rain splashes onto the polycarbonate roof covering our atrium. So I don't much like it when it rains because of the noise. This weekend has been good, and as relaxing as it could have been. Ran a few errands, spend some money here and there and caught a movie with the missus. ManU won their Middlesbrough game, didn't watch it cos it was at 1am! Saw the PS3 in all its shiny glory at the Mall today. My wife quipped 'doesn't look like there's any difference in graphics'.. I quipped back 'that's because they haven't plugged it into a Hi-Def HDMI LCD screen'.. I think if they did, the graphics would be mind boggling. But at $1500 for the 20Gig version and $1800 for the 60Gig, it is a fair bit pricy. Nonetheless, all units have been sold out and future shipments booked out completely...We manage to catch a movie today, Deja Vu. It was a pretty decent film despite the fact that an article in the Weekend Borneo Bulletin gave it 1.5 out of 4 stars ....We manage to catch a movie today, Deja Vu. It was a pretty decent film despite the fact that an article in the Weekend Borneo Bulletin gave it 1.5 out of 4 stars ...... Sorry could't resist the opportunity to give you a Deja Vu moment...... It's a decent enough movie to watch. I particularly love the style of the movie, the edit, of Tony Scott the director. His other movie, Man on Fire is littered with really good edited bits that conveys a gritty look and feel to the various scenes (again another pretty good movie with Denzel Washington in it). I definitely can learn alot from these two works of Tony Scott by 'adapting' and incorporating his style into future works of mine.... however I need to experiment and get technically proficient with the software before I think I can pull it off...
Well, now its back to work after this.. YES, work, tonight... I have to prepare for tomorrow morning's session so I know what I have to say and do so I don't look like an idiot in front of a group of people. I may have done this for the last 8-9 years but those little butterflies still fly around a fair bit in my stomach when I have to speak publicly.. come to think of it.. NAH! I don't get nervous at all.. I've learn over the years to love the sound of my own voice so much that people think I am a Narcissist.
OK my daughter and missus are getting into a game of Peek Ka Boo! I am joining in...
ADIOS and have a good working week!
