Hey all.

How's u doing?
It's been a pretty alright week for me, no physics to worry about over the weekend, no immediate assignments due.. guess i had the time to watch a movie or 2 over the past few days to relax.. And, to give my recommendation to u of cos!


The Fountain



Heard of this show? It's pretty darn deep. and confusing. but nice....
well, not because of Hugh Jackman or Rachel Weisz, well, they are pretty good looking.. but cos of the story..

its spans 3 different eras.. 16th century Spain, Modern day America, and deep space in the 26th century, all the while, all 3 stories connected inexplicably by the main character in his 3 incarnations.. like, existing in all 3 realms at the same time. past affecting the future, future affecting the past.

deep.

confusing.


nice.......

oh, and also a certain life-sustaining tree which may be traced to origins in the Kabbalah's Sefirot Tree, the world-tree Yggdrasil, or maybe the Biblical Tree of Life. and the main character's quest to save something/someone/some country by searching got the tree.

awesome music score, deep, moving, powerful stuff.
graphics amazing, like whoa.

ever seen a nebula up close and from the inside?
nope, neither have i, but these people did a pretty darn good job in creating one..


ohkaye.
next up, a rather popular cult classic of the 90's. but, since it was in the 90's, i think not many people have seen it. pity though. it's great stuff.. esp for quasi-religion and mythology freak like me.
ah well.

seen this b4?



It starred one of the best actors i ever known, Christopher Walken.

Who?

well, u most recently saw him as the nutty inventor fella who gave Adam Sandler the universal remote controller in "Click".

Was that an "Ahh..."?

well, i aint gonna spoil the story for u, pls pls PLS, if u ever see me, ask me to pass u a copy of the series (1 2 and 3), and watch it.

Well, in a jist, Christopher Walken stars, as Gabriel, the archangel, who seeks to regain favour in the Creator's eyes by ending a Second War he started pretty much eons ago after the 1st Rebellion by Mr Morningstar. Displeased that the Creator seemed to favour humans more than those who came before them, Gabriel wanted only to set in motion, a plan to "make it the way it was back then".

Ambiguous enough without spoiling the story huh?

1 introduces us to Gabriel, 2 shows his return and eventual fall, and 3 lets us see his redemption and ascension.

well, only if u're interested. lemme know..


on a sidenote, instead of buying grapes to overdose on this week, i bought fuji apples! mmmmmm. Apples. havent had them since i came back to bris.. and the ones i bought were fucking humongous. like, IN YOUR FACE WHAM! big... and sweet. and crunchy. yummy.

now, i really really hope that i didnt miss out on any announcement that last week's physics lab experiment required a report to be handed in this friday. it was a really really tedious one and looking back at the papers would make me go crazy again... ah well. i hope tmr's one will be much simpler and easier if he decides to make us do a report for it...

oh, my exam timetables are out! whee!
14, 15, 18th.

physics, econs, and health n hygiene.. but not in that order..
h n h one's an open book mcq test, i can handle the 120 questions..
physics.... i know i cant get super good marks for it, but i can at least get marks for workings for those questions i'm not confident in...
econs... sigh. econs. dreading it ever since i saw it on the course code... i hope i can get a 60+% mark for the essay so the final paper wont hurt that bad...

sigh. guess i'd better start on that essay this weekend..

till next time dear readers, i bid u farewell..
