| Happy Birthday to Star Wars! 31 years ago, it came out today and my wallet has never been the same since...

|  I check the news about the earthquake in China everyday - what I think is the saddest isn't the loss of the homes, buildings, etc... but the ending of the lives of so many children. 
Take a look at the photo on the left (from bbcnews.com). There's no way they can use that road to get help into the affected areas.
Today, I donated to our company's China earthquake victim fund - hope the money gets to help someone out. Since I work for a Chinese company,
联想, I've seen internal news that some people in our China offices have already done some contributing, donated blood, supplies, etc...
Take a look at BBC reporter, James Reynold's, blog about the damage there:

If you want to help, maybe you can, through the Red Cross:

| The current issue of FHM (男人装) Chinese edition has some interesting Olympic themed photos...

|  That Singaporean that I work with is so cute; too bad she's too young for me (I'm old enough to be her father). Anyway, I found not only is she a big Star Was fan, but she also loves comic books, especially the X-Men. People who know me, know that I have roughly 20 years of collecting comic books (that roughly equates to about 4,000 of them, currently being stored in my old bedroom at my parents' house - no wonder they want me to move out of this apartment and buy a house of my own... ). Anyway, today I gave her a stack of X-Men trading cards from 1994 - she was so excited, it was funny.
Anyway, I also told her when I was walking around the underground shopping areas at Singapore, I bumped into a store that sold a whole bunch of comic book character busts, action figures, etc... I should have taken a photo though because now I can't remember where it was nor what it's name is.  She wanted to know.
I don't mind giving away some duplicate comic books, cards, action figures, etc... that I have, as long as I know the people I'm giving them to will take care of them. I've even given my sister a fine conditioned X-Men #94.
Usually around Christmas, I'll donate a bunch of Star Wars extras that I have to the "Toys for tots" charity. See if I can get some more kids addicted to Star Wars. heh heh...

|  Did you see this about actress Tang Wei? This irks me.

Some of those Mainland Chinese are so stupid!!! If you think about it,
why not ban Shu Qi too? She was in a softcore porn before. It's not
like people are forced to watch these movies. Did those people who made this decision even watch the movie?
Even a country as strict Singapore is, decided to release the full uncut version weeks after the edited version of the movie was shown.
Personally, I thought the movie was pretty good - Tang Wei did a good job portraying her character. And for goodness sakes, it IS a movie about seduction. Duh!!! Its based on a novel written by Chinese writer, Eileen Chang. She died in 1995, otherwise the Mainland Chinese would have banned her too.
This is just like when the Mainland Chinese government banned A-Mei Chang for singing at Taiwan's President's inauguration and when they banned Bai Ling for starring in "Red Corner".
