All day we are waging little wars against ourselves. The darkness accumulates in our minds like poison. -- Eliot Wilder

Possible. Through a computer sim. :)

Watching my Boy sitting against the wall, licking his own belly, paw on his tummy. :`D

Disgusted with self. Only 50 pushups yesterday before elbow gave way but compensated with 100 crunches. The day before almost as dismal: 70, and 50 crunches. Feel much stronger though. Buffy strong! Beer good. :p Will rest arms today and work on shoulders and tum.

Watched Fantastic Four last night. It was fantastic! :D A tight witty script, great acting, superb casting, amazing action, and simply fantastically tied together. A must-watch. As good as Batman Begins, and for me, slightly even better.

So far I have only managed 70 today... but I do feel way fitter, thanks to being inspired by Jennifer Garner as Elektra. Speaking of Jen, she tied the knot with Ben Affleck last weekend and are confirmed to be expecting their first child. Two thumbs up. :)

Managed to catch War of the Worlds (really bad ending - might as well watch ID4 again) and A Lot Like Love, which was a charming film about 2 people somehow missing the mark with each other but duh, getting together in the end, a la When Harry Met Sally. Not a bad DVD movie.

The surprise went perfectly according to plan, save an unexpected circumstance that had me scrambling for a solution. All in all, I think everyone was pretty well entertained. Much rest and recovery on Saturday and Sunday (I finished my Harry Potter collection!) and I confess to chomping up all the chocolates.

Ah! And the most joyous thing of the year (which happens only twice of), the Kino 20% sale. I acquired 6 coupons and bought, after much thought and consideration within the 1.5 hours I was allotted:

Creatures of the Night by Neil Gaiman
Space Odyssey by Tim Haines and Christopher Riley
Mind Hacks by Tom Stafford and Matt Webb
Surviving the Extremes by Kenneth Kamler (which I finished)
When Elephants Weep by Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson and Susan McCarthy (which I just started)
Hyperspace by Michio Kaku (the acclaimed physicist my darling Kaku was named after)

Hark! Speaking of Kaku, I saw Dr Kaku on TV last night on the feature documentary I subscribed to cable to watch (well, I was thinking of cancelling it): Alien Planet. Brilliant, eye-opening, and revolutionary! :D My brother exclaimed in despair that he missed it, but was consoled that it would probably come out on DVD. :D

You take the blue pill and the story ends. You wake in your bed and you believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill and you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes. ~Morpheus, The Matrix

A lovely 2 days by all accounts. Okay, so I just woke up. But it is Saturday! :D I did, however, have a bad dream about going to Melbourne and getting lost, despite a semi-grid system there. Plus I did some home improvements on Wednesday and Thursday night and that's spilling over.

Yesterday I got my free iPaq! :D It's such a beautiful thing. For those with Starhub MaxOnline and whose contract has ended. Go renew your contract and get a free iPaq! Here's a very extensive and thorough review on it. It has a silver frame (can find it easily in my bag), built-in cam, bluetooth, and wireless connectivity, which means I can surf at Macs. All the more reason to buy their stock and patronise them...

I pretty much spent the whole day reviewing movies, which in principle sounds good, but not really. Nevertheless, a romantic dinner and movie made up for that. Others may hardly call Constantine a very romantic movie, but hey, it's the company that counts. ;)

It was an excellent movie, by the way. Aside from the fact that John Constantine is actually blonde and more buff than Keanu Reeves, he handled the part pretty well, and the overall treatment was pretty true to the comic.

Kaku seems to have taken Boy's spot in my study since Boy started to run with wolves. It's so sweet to see her up close for so long. She was beginning to attain the reputation only myths have, like the Yeti or Nessie. She did hide for the longest time when Jeff came over before his foray into Velvet. I placed a plate full of food in the study and shut the door. Half an hour later I opened the door and the plate was licked clean. :D Now she's napping. :D

Sam just got stuck on the roof again. He was howling so much even Kaku woke up and went to check it out. I climbed up and retrieved him although he behaved much like a cat stuck in a tree. He held on to me for dear life and brought him back to safety.

The Blower's Daughter has been playing in my mind almost a month now since I heard it again in Novena Square one day during lunch. It is immensely haunting.

If it seems familiar, it is the opening and closing song in the movie Closer when Natalie Portman is walking across the road. Watch the music video (embedded in their website). I don't think I've ever heard a more beautiful song.
