Of Birthdays and rainbows around the sun...

It’s been more than two weeks since my last post; wonder if anyone noticed…

Well my adoring public (Yes all two of you, or one of you… err... if any…) I’m back. Well not really good news is it? I originally wanted this blog to be solely devoted to showcasing my brand of bad poetry and terrible story telling to the world. Since I haven’t posted anything in a while I might as well post something. Never wanted to post anything about what’s going on with my life it’ll just be shameless whining and ranting. I wanted to save that for another more private blog; but doesn’t look like its happening so I might change my mind a bit about this blog…

Well what has been going on with me; it was my birthday last week-ish. Almost forgot about it until I got a text message from a friend. The only friend to actually wish me Happy Birthday. Good to know I’m not completely forgotten. I’m getting older and none the wiser but oh well… Coincidently it going to be his birthday tomorrow; so a BIG HUGE shoutout to my friend “Happy Birthday!!!!”.

Some interesting stuff happened lately there was this cool thing that happened to the Sun here in Kuching on a Friday afternoon. Looked like a rainbow ring or halo was surrounding it. A natural phenomenon but don’t it look cool. Too bad it hurts just to look at it; staring at the sun after all.

I got to listen to the Smashing Pumpkins new single Tarantula not too many days ago. I think it sounds pretty good. Has a lot of that old school Smashing Pumpkins feel to it. Billy Corgan’s efforts after the first breakup were kinda disappointing for me. Zwan was ok but so very short lived. Sure Paz was there but the band just didn’t last long enough. Billy’s solo effort TheFutureEmbrace was just not something I liked; and I actually bought the CD too. Never thought I would regret it but I did. Hopefully the Pumpkins new album Zeitgeist will be ok.

Speaking of high hopes the Stardust Movie is coming out soon. Saw the trailer and I have to say it looks promising. The story will be based on a book of the same title by one of my favorite authors Neil Gaiman. To bad I haven’t read Stardust yet; it’s just damn hard to find his books here in Kuching. Come to think of it, I’m wondering whether the movie will even come here to Malaysia. I guess I can hope; in any case I think it should be good movie; almost everything he wrote that I’ve been able to put my hands on has not been disappointing. I just need to get my hands on the book first. Maybe I can sell my soul for it? The Devil will probably laugh…

On the subject of movies; the Transformers movie will be opening in local cinemas in a couple of days. Kind of apprehensive about how that will turn out; after watching the trailer it just doesn’t feel like it’s going to be like the transformers that I grew up watching. The movie transformers seems like too much Bling and Terminator-esque But I guess that’s just me dwelling in the past the movie itself might not be so bad…

Found an interesting site too; Cats That Look Like Hitler. Nice site, like what they are doing for the cats. Finding homes for them and all. All of that and being cute and funny at the same time. To bad some think the site is offensive because it references to Hitler. Oh some of the cats do look like him; though one i found looked suspiciously like Salvador Dali hehehe...

Hmm I guess that’s all for this post… there goes another uneventful entry in this dry blog of mine but oh well…
