Déjà vu?
That’s creepy, so I moved into my new house and months before I had a dream of exactly standing at the same spot looking out the window and the same car was out there.

So far away...
So I attended this Guitar Hero tournament yesterday and came in first. Warriors of Rock was the game, the one I never played before. There was lots of contestants, about 15, not much I guess.
The final round I defeated my little sister. It was a close match, too. The prize was $50 gift card to EB/Gamestop. I’ll probably use it for Duke Nukem: Forever releasing early May.

I felt it. Perfect. It was perfect.
Black Swan feels like an Aronofsky film, through and through. His fingerprints are all over it. His camera style, the way he brings the audience in and makes them feel a part of the character, and experience in a way what the character is experiencing. This is not a movie for everyone. It’s horror, but a psychological kind of horror that puts us directly into the fractured, overwhelmed,...

127 Hours
It was a joyous, uplifting, spiritual movie experience. It had all the elements of what filmmaking is about. It was a thriller, a drama, a romance, a horror, even comedy at some points all rolled into one. A poignant, timeless message of what is it to be alive, of how blessed we all truly are, and of how reliant we are upon each other.

Coffee logic.
You know what tastes good? Peanut butter mixed with coffee. Delicious.

Paranormal Activity 2
Really? Is this everything they could come up with? I didn’t feel scared at all, I didn’t sit on the edge of my seat in terror, it was like watching old family videotapes, with just a little paranormal activity to be found.

Doctor Who: Season 3
An outstanding season. A few multi-part episodes mixed in with some one-shots. Tennant does a great job as The Doctor and Agyeman makes an excellent travelling companion. The Daleks always seem to have a new twist and the appearance of an old enemy keep the Doctor in turmoil and on the run. There are also a few revelations. I can not wait to start watching the next season.

I tend to break a lot of mice, so sometimes I’ve had to do without one for a while. It’s not fun.
It bothers me when I see people using the touchpad on their laptop while at a desk for long periods of time. I’ve never seen an official study done on it, but I’d guess that you are 25 to 30% faster using a regular mouse instead of a touchpad.

The Family of Blood
He’s like fire and ice and rage. He’s like the night and the storm in the heart of the sun. He’s ancient and forever. He burns at the centre of time and can see the turn of the universe and… he’s wonderful.

Sinuous
A game with a single objective: avoid colliding with the red dots.
You can activate boosts by picking up the rare green dots.
Sounds simple, eh? Give it a try!

Friendship?
I don’t understand why I am always there for her, and yet when I am in need of support she brushes me off.

I'm not so weird to me.
Recently, I’ve been catching up on my reading. Haruki Murakami is one of my all time favourite authors. His novels are always interesting, and the writing style is generally gorgeous, although it does vary a little between different books. I’m not sure if this is Haruki Murakami changing his style in the original Japanese, or simply results from different translators.

He's wired in.
The Social Network. It’s more than just the origins of Facebook. It’s about the people behind it. It’s got a lot more substance and endearing plot elements than I ever expected. It’s got a great cinematography due to the fact of the ever-changing lighting. Acting is phenomenal and I definitely didn’t expect it from Eisenberg nor Timberlake.
When it comes to his...
