A realization about Dantalian no Shoka

In his usual curmudgeon way, Aroduc has beengrumpy about how the protagonists of Dantalian have just stood aroundfor the past two episodes and watched while things happened around them.This has led me to a realization about Dantalian 's genre.

Put simply, Dantalian is horror, not action. As horror, Huey andDalian are our viewpoint to witness things and explain them, butthey may or may not have to take any action to resolve the situationand return it to normality. In fact the running theme of the


偶拾,不再

「偶拾」是靈感的一種來源,甚至可能是靈感主要來源。如果創作只能夠依賴作者內在的智慧、經驗與想像,大概每個都會早夭而死,所謂長做長有,不太可能。唯有在世途上遇拾,才能夠喚醒沉睡的心靈,進行創作。

成也英國 敗在香港

股壇風雲

自從看了最近上畫的電影《竊聽風雲2》,我嚴肅地考慮是否應繼續給予Philip「Plan A」的位置。To be exact,我考慮是否應繼續容許banker(或與股票相關的一干人等)存在於我那二十六個Plan 之中。

說起來,這還是Philip 自己招來的禍

成也英國 敗在香港

世上任何一位行將卸任的官員都希望可以close chapter with honor,看曾蔭權的形勢卻似乎打算close chapter with horror。

曾先生的職銜是「行政長官」,所以他真的以為自己只負責「行政」,手板眼見功夫,毋須用腦,只聽吩咐。從前叫「港督」,職權明顯

You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger


向來是Woody Allen的粉絲,看著他由狂放不羈自導自演的中產知識分子過度成現在退居幕後看透人生的老導演,他的好處都是我們想像得到的,而他的壞處又實在不算太壞,難得他年齡漸長仍能保持穩定質量,我總希望他幾乎一年導演

flockNote v3 is Launched

Lest I forget to mention it, flockNote's 'version 3' website has been launched as of Wednesday afternoon! I spent many (if not most) of my waking hours working on the website and hundreds of features contained within, and after a couple days up and running, the website's still going like a champ!

Storm Mimics Shape of Eastern Missouri Border

Storm Mimics Missouri State Border - Weather Radar wx

Coincidence, or do storms just like the State of Missouri that much?

Universal Studios

I was riding a roller coaster. I wasn't flying like a piece of paper in a tornado, but the speed was fast enough for me to lose my mind.

True, it's a must-do experience for most Universal Studios theme park visitors to get flung around on cutting-edge roller coasters. Nobody wants to miss the game. Not even the faint-hearted. Nor do the harried people, although there are exceptions. Those ups and downs, stunning as they are, didn ’t

黃山之旅 - Day 1 (上海 - Day 60)

最後還是決定去了,很掙扎,不過都是想清楚才下這個決定的。

今次的旅行很罕有的沒有參與計劃的部份,只是臨走前看了一看大概資料,便出發了。

買車票的時候才知道黃山的車票都已賣光,幸好之前也看過資料,知道屯溪在

扮謙虛的痛苦

有一種人,挺不痛快的,就是心裏自視頗高,卻 滿口謙遜之辭 ,希望別人欣賞自己之餘,又不會覺得自己驕傲。這種人,以我接觸過的人而言,是中國人多於歐美人士,而其中又以讀書人居多。對於這種人來說,最理想的形象是
