I enjoyed the film '300' very much. Whenever I watch it, I always enjoy the lines and the way that narrator delivers. I am particularly impressed by the lines of:
no time for softness
no room for tolerance
no space for weakness
I don't know why it sounds so familiar, It maybe how I was educated in Taiwan. I don't really see it as a bad thing, yet, it could be too harsh to accept it. Watching 300 is one of my way to motivate my life. Maybe I am a harsh and critical person but I am learning to be nice.

Not a lot of metal bands appear at both nightclubs and the National Press Club in Washington, but Chthonic will soon be doing just that here. And on Sept. 13, the Taiwanese ensemble will hold a downtown news conference to discuss its "UNlimited Taiwan" campaign and its experience as the first Asian extreme metal act in the Ozzfest tour -- an appropriate showcase for a band called "the Black Sabbath of Asia."
According to lead singer and songwriter Freddy Lim, the September events are particularly important because they coincide with the Sept. 18 opening of the annual session of the United Nations, which Taiwan will once again attempt to join, an effort blocked every year since 1993 by China, which asserts sovereignty over the island.
Chthonic -- pronounced "THON-nic," it's Greek, meaning "of the underworld" -- has recorded a single called "UNlimited Taiwan" and made a short film for the song, protesting their homeland's isolation in the international community.
I can't wait to see this film! Actually, I should say that I am so excited about seeing Adrian Brody's performance. He is my favourite actor! In addition to Holly Wood movie--King Kong, I prefer his acting in other individual films, such as: The Jacket. Although he pulled off a brilliant performance in The Pianist (2002) as the youngest actor ever to win the Best Actor Academy Award, I am very impressed by his performance in the film, The Village . Well, I've to admit that I am attracted to his artistic charisma even though he is not a typical good-looking guy.
Last year I was looking for a magazine which contained 3-page interviewing with Adrian, I went WHSmith and many supermarkets to buy that magazine, yet I still missed the chance to buy that magazine. I asked Oscar to find that issue for me. He was quite surprised at my motivation since I am not really a magazine reader and not really interested in dirt or show business. He was asking me how come I suddenly pay interest to a specific magazine. I said, "because that magazine has an interview with Adrian Brody." Then he teased me as a loser since I start paying much attention to another man. hahaha~ Indeed, Indeed. He rarely got a chance to tease me since I am a big bully to him. I gave him a lot of compliments about how great he could do the housework and said, "well, this particular task--housework will be your future task; e.g. laundry, washing dishes, setting bed, tidying things, cooking meals; etc." He questions me, "If I need to do all of those, what would you do at home?" I responded immediately, "well, I am the manager so I make commands and you follow my instruction." I know I must be very cheeky to say so, but he gets used to my cheeky behaviour. Well, my flatmates who share a house with me before could tell how bossy I could be. I hope they won't find me too bitchy to them. :P
近年來好萊塢電影都找了一堆英國口音的人來演，聽說是美國人裝英國口音不被大眾認同（我這邊是點頭如搗蒜，上次看了不知道啥片，美國人操著英國口音，但是用的是美國字眼，亂七八糟。），裡頭那位扮演政客叛徒的演員Dominic West (註1) 還自嘲說英國人被錄用的理由是英國演員價位便宜多些，不過我想在英國，還是很多人對美國英文多少有點歧視，朋友們都說美國人do not speak proper English。
