Sabrina
In the midst of watching Audrey Hepburn's Sabrina.
I suppose in the 1950s and 60s it was all the rage to ballroom dance with your cheek plastered on your partner's cheek to show how close you are. At least, that's what they do in the movie, a lot. And every time they do it, all I can think of is, "the germs! The germs!" or "aren't they grossed out ( Read more... ) -

Star Driver: Kagayaki no Takuto
mecha woes!!! It's a pinch!!
so i've always held that i don't watch mecha anime because it bores the crap out of me. even Code Geass, which admittedly had an interesting albeit tragic story line, didn't cut it. i just don't see the point of humans in giant robots, beating the crap out of whatever. maybe because it's the bogus war scenario, or the ( Read more... ) -

After brain surgery
At the end of this hot summer, the air buzzed full of life. There was no respite from the heat, but the pockets of nothing-to-do and nowhere-to-go, and no-one-there. Sitting at her desk, eating alone. There is no loneliness like a meal on your own and the pitying gazes of those who have a life fuller than you do. Ignore it, ignore it, you think ( Read more... ) -
黃安 - 新鸳鸯蝴蝶梦
I was in a cab, and heard some random chinese song that reminded me of the above. So old school...but unforgettable.

A new dream of an affectionate couple of butterflies
