Awesome Zep news

Posted 2006-07-20 (木) 午前1:59 by terra

Possible future release of Led Zeppelin Fillmore West video? And inclusive of one of the most superb versions of Killing Floor? I have the audio bootlegs for these concerts but video would be heaven’s send. Hopefully the stash also includes As Long as I Have You. That would make me one very contented person. ^_^

Legendary promoter’s stash to be released and it ain’t only rock’n’roll

Japanese WOTD: 鍵っ子

Posted 2006-07-20 (木) 午前1:05 by terra

Every week I learn something new from my Japanese class. Now I have the bad habit of never copying notes (rationale: I never look at them afterwards anyway) in class and tend to rely on my *ahem* awesome short-term memory to remember new things. Unfortunately, my long-term memory is sorely lacking…

The best part about blogs such as this is that they’re indexable and searchable! So why not regular posts on new Japanese learnings? (Briliant, Terra, brilliant) ^_^

Today’s 日本語語彙 is: 鍵っ子（かぎっこ）
It looks like it’s a direct translation from the English term latch-key child; in Chinese it’s 挂钥匙儿童 (suǒ yào shi ér tóng).

Zegapain Episode 11

Posted 2006-07-14 (金) 午前10:42 by terra

消されるなこの想い
 忘れる我が痛み

I just finished watching Zegapain episode 11 and bawled my eyes out. T__T

It’s the people relationships in this anime that drive home a point that The Matrix tried but failed to accomplish in its third installment simply because it was overambitious:

人は島ではない
 一人では生きてはいけない

The Matrix 2 involved too much pseudo-philosophy and religious threads, which was great fun in itself, but made it difficult for the Matrix 3 to weave into a proper story. I guess TV animes have the luxury of time to tell a story, and if carefully contructed can become sheer brillance.

Anyway it’s too early to tell how the anime will end. I hope it can keep up to its current momentum and not sink like some anime (read: Ev*ng*l**n) towards the end.

I chanced upon this site through a most unflattering manner: tomorrow.sg > sgforums. Me and 傑儀 had a good laugh over some of the comments on Singapore: some are totally off (e.g. death penalty for pornography… I’m just assuming he was kidding), but some ring all too true (“Surrounded by artificially ‘ordered’ parks, its tall housing projects are populated by more than 80% of the population - whose smiling native charms often belie underlying tensions of the way the island is progressing after 30 years of development.”).

However, what really drew me to the site is the multitude of photos of Tokyo 東京. I love Tokyo; it’s the most facinating city I’ve been to and my biggest regret is not having taken enough pictures in my recent visit there. The site photo-chronicles most of the places I visited (and didn’t). There are some really nice photos in there. One should check it out if one has the chance (both the site as well as the actual city).
