Back to the Future

Thursday, August 4th, 2005

I got up today and had a million and one things planned and instead all I spent the day doing was applying for more jobs and updating my resumé which to be fair has been overdue. The good thing about having it up here is that it gives me a chance to add to it and change it as required - something I wouldn’t do if it wasn’t live on the net.

The thing is, making a resume always fills me with a conflict of interests; I don’t really enjoy bragging about my previous accomplishments yet that is the only way I will be able to go on and do anything else of note. Also I don’t really enjoy looking at the past either, I prefer to look forward to new challenges. I’m not sure if it’s the same for everyone but whenever I think back all I can see is opportunities where I could have done things differently or how much better anything I did could be now with all the experience I have aquired. Looking forward is far more natural for me as I can see the choices I have yet to make and all the endless possibilities. I guess I am just a natural dreamer or something…

I watched Kôkaku kidôtai aka Ghost in the Shell last night I think i’m in a J-pop kinda mood at the moment what with Chrono Cross on the Playstation and the Lost in Translation soundtrack in my head, hmmm I think I will watch that tonight actually. Anyway now resumé and job-seeking is out of the way I’m going to chill out to more Chrono Cross ;)

I just remember I updated the gallery with some more film-making stuff and moved things around a bit.

Kaze Wo Atsumete

Wednesday, August 3rd, 2005

I was listening to the awe inspiring soundtrack for Lost in Translation today when I realised I was singing along to a track without having a clue what I was singing about so I decided to look up the lyrics for “Kaze Wo Atsumete” by Japanese folk band ‘Happy End‘ to see if I couldn’t find a translation. I wasn’t the only one who had this idea apparently :)

Lost in Translation is an amazing film. The scene where Bob Harris is being filmed doing the commercial for Suntory Whisky is really funny and I always wanted to know what it was the director said when Bob was being coached for the camera and thanks to this website I can.

Chrono Cross

Tuesday, August 2nd, 2005

Woot I got a hold of an original Playstation one so I can play all my ps1 games again! (I sold my ps2 and got a Gamecube instead).

Chrono Cross

So the main thing occupying my spare time at the moment is the game “Chrono Cross“. An RPG which is the sequel to the best (possibly?) RPG on the SNES: Chrono Trigger.
