An Act of Estimating Something as Worthless.

"The Day I Grew Big" and other stories.

Been brewing up some ideas lately on a possible short-story. The working title all along as been Jalpenos in Vindaloo Sauce but now am thinking of changing it to The Day I Grew Big.

Played some tennis for the first time today as a test. I think I like it; could come back for more. May be this downtime management stratergery thing might finally work out.

Hollywood Clicks is a decent concept, but how is it that Netflix charges S$16 (approx. conversion rates) per month, while these guys charge S$35? And why can we have only 30 DVD's in queue, whereas Netflix folks can have 500? Oh, don't bother, I know already: volume.

In any case, here's my viewing list currently: Hidalgo, Hidden Fortress and Scent of a Woman.

Meanwhile, permit me to feel slightly bitter at this time of the day on how some folks get it all so easily, while we flounder in the swamps so much. It, frankly, is just not fair.

    Kurosawa's a good bet any time.

    Not that sure about Hidalgo or Scent of a Woman. How were they?

    Remember watching Al Pacino working his visually challenged angle. Although it couldn't grab on to my interest.

    Watched Hidalgo once before, but that was on a flight back home. Wanted to watch it with the full force of a 5.1 surround sound system behind me.

    Wasn't disappointed one bit. Zuleikha Robinson is as attractive as ever.
