2046 was showing at the Varsity, so I took the opportunity to see it in the theatres again. I saw it when it first came out last year in HK, and I think it’s even better the second time around. I can relate to it even more after a year’s worth of experience.

I knew this was a sequel to In the Mood for Love, but Loretta told me that they are both actually preceded by Days of Being Wild. I always wondered about Lulu and why she killed herself. Gotta see that one.

I just started reading He’s Just Not That Into You. I’m only about 1/4 into it, and I have to say although most of it is pretty true, some of it is a crock.

In one part, the author says girls should move on when a guy doesn’t call when he says he will. Wait a second! Girls do that ALL the time! They always flake. They will make dates and call the day of, 5 minutes after they were supposed to meet, and tell us they can’t make it because their dog pooped on the carpet. It’s perfectly acceptable for them. Why can’t we do it too?

I’m trying to find more examples I don’t agree with, but I can’t. So far it’s all pretty true. That one I just mentioned chaps my ass a bit though.

Actually, now that I think about it, it probably just means that She’s Just Not That Into Me. I guess I should move on in this case (hypothetically speaking of course — She is always into me!).

I’m not sure what the point of this post is anymore. The book is good. It just sucks that girls know all our tricks now.

Wordpress 1.5.2 is out.

Owen Winkler has a nice description of the changes made.

I saw Alfie recently. It starts out so great — funny and insightful. Then it gets a bit too insightful. I think it hits home a bit too hard for me. The reviews on it are pretty widely polarized; probably because the ones who hated it can’t relate.

It makes me wonder what the 1966 original with Michael Caine was like, because the new one is given an unfavourable comparison in many reviews. I thought it was pretty good myself.

Today is a great day.

For the longest time, derricklee.com pointed to a profile of serial killer Derrick Todd Lee.

Today, I own it! Adding this to my stable of domains (derricklee.ca and derrick-lee.com) makes me the most important Derrick Lee in this world.

HAHAHAHAHA!

S. Korean man dies after 50 hours of computer games

SEOUL (Reuters) - A South Korean man who played computer games for 50 hours almost non-stop died of heart failure minutes after finishing his mammoth session in an Internet cafe, authorities said Tuesday.

Man, those wacky Koreans.

Went out on Friday, and ended up going home early because I wasn’t feeling so hot. When I woke up the next day, I was aching all over. To top it off, they asked me to work this weekend. At least I can work from home, right? After I got my work done, I spent what little was left of the day feeling like shit, watching movies and falling asleep. When I woke up I did it all over again. Sunday was more of the same. I kinda wanted to go to the Taste of the Danforth, but I was too weak to walk around too much and stomach is constantly upset.

Most of the time, I prefer to live alone. This is one of the rare occasions I think it’d be nice if someone else were around to feed me vegetarian chicken soup.
