And it's yesterday no more

Stormtrooper vs Clone trooper

I don't profess to be a fan of Starwars, nor have I even watched all the movies. Science Fiction however, I find it fascinating.

To cut the story short, after viewing photos from Flickr groups along the lines of this and this, I convinced myself I had to get a stormtrooper myself. So I went out and got myself a Clone trooper. Yeap. A mistake. With Phase II armour. I've done my research, although a little too late.

But still, he's a dear.

Hast Du etwas Zeit für mich Dann singe ich ein Lied fuer Dich Von 99 Luftballons Auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont Denkst Du vielleicht grad' an mich Dann singe ich ein Lied fuer Dich Von 99 Luftballons Und dass sowas von sowas kommt	You and I in a little toy shop Buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got.

In every one a red balloon. It's all over and I'm standing pretty. In this dust that was a city. If I could find a souvenier. Just to prove the world was here. And here is a red balloon I think of you and let it go.

Is that cruel?

So I just came back from Perth, Australia, my friends are still stuck there because someone stole their passports, and I'm thinking of traveling, again. Is that cruel?

BBC Merlin

(via monkeyknifefight)

Was trawling through my tumblr, must admit that looking at it can make me immensely happy.

Been watching Merlin again, season 2, and this is a nice shot of the main cast. At first watching it, I was confused how the characters are not much like the little I've read of the Arthurian legend, then again it is an interesting interpretation.

Pen Fetish

, originally uploaded by Jason Tavares

I have a problem. Some would not consider it a problem, but I have far too many interests. When they come, they remain, like a fossil that is under the grim of daily life but unforgotten.

My latest interest is FOUNTAIN PENS. I've always been intrigued by pens. But ball-point types. I started my search for the perfect writing pen since I was 13 or 14. I've always had that thing where I need to have a certain pen to write. People in my family can't understand why I couldn't just pick any pen, and I can't explain adequately enough either. My current favourite pen is by Pentel Liquid Gel Ink Energel WWF 0.5 pen. I haven't seen the design anywhere since I bought it sometime last year. Besides that I also adore Uni-ball Signo DX 0.38, I've so many hanging around in various colours. They're very popular in this country. Also, there's the Pilot G-Tec-C4 0.4 in black.

Then I saw this pen and the handwriting (about an hour or two before), and I am in awe. Suddenly out of the blue I want to own one and learn how to use it. I've my eye on the Lamy Safari as a starter. Then we can see where this interest develops.

Amreeka

I watched Amreeka yesterday evening. It was good I guess, but not really the type I'd watch again. Like Bend it Like Beckham, one of those movies I only realise are comedies until after I've finished watching it. Oh wait, that was when I was 12.
