Great typography work [in progress]!
Koncar creates ype from found- objects such as teabags, rotten apples, gummibears, raw meat, condoms (also colored condoms), dirt, toothpicks, and stuff you can find…
Check out his sets:

Inspires me to find my own found-objects xD
Well, now that I’m much better I can continue going through Acerk’s and my own picks for Yu Aoi wishful thinking films. We are almost done, and I really wish more people would participate, not only commenting but also suggesting your own.
Anyway… here we go~
When I was a little kid, my parents once gave me a chemistry set. It had the little microscope, and test tubes, with different chemical components… until one day, I mixed something that turned black and it blew up. LOL Later, my parents gave me a magic set that came with a magic wand and a bunch of other stuff.
It was around that time that Frecuencia Latina used to show the David Copperfield shows, and I remember him flying out of whatever venue he was performing at. “WOW!” I thought, “he really can fly!”
Ever since those days, I haven’t experience magic with that innocent sense of wonder. Sure, David Blane was pretty good when he started out — he’s rubbish since he started that surviving in the tank act — and Criss Angel is okay, but I’ve never really warmed up to him or his show.
Now I’ve finally found out about Lu Chen (Liu Qian), a Taiwanese magician that has given me back the “Wow, how did he do that?” factor that comes with having an innocent sense of wonder. It’s not his big tricks, like escaping from a box that explodes in 60sec. while a truck is about to run over it. Lu Chen’s strength relies on his street magic with common goods like buying Tapioca Milk Tea, buying a T-shirt, or eating Baos on the street.
Thanks for giving me back my sense of wonder.

I would have liked to find out about this a bit sooner to report, but oh well.
The resurgence of Japanese cinema in the 1990s dramatically reconfigured the aspirations, practices and reception of one of the largest and most continuous film cultures outside of the United States. This three-day event features films by three contemporary Japanese filmmakers whose work has crossed national borders and been viewed outside of Japan, elsewhere, in the world: Shinji Aoyama, Shunji Iwai and Ryuhei Kitamura.
According to a forward by the USC Biological Sciences Blog, The School of Cinematic Arts and Visions and Voices will be holding a 3-day event showcasing 6 samples of Contemporary Japanese Cinema. The films are:
The event starts today Friday 19th, until Sunday 21st [more info on that website]. According to the information provided, there will be panels discussion. Today’s panel for Baton and H&A apparently includes Shunji Iwai. We would love to have a report on anyone attending the event. It would be awesome.
This is so awesome. The most Batman I had was a sleeveless t-shirt with the batman logo. However, I did have a Spiderman pajama that had everything (even the mask) except for the hands, coz hands are difficult. So it was like a one-piece Spiderman pajama with a mask xD I totally rocked that one.
I know I should have a picture of that somewhere.
In the meantime, take a look at these super heroes! xD
Wow. It’s the first time I visit the ER.
I woke up with a fever last night, and after my mother came back from work, she decided to walk me to the hospital. In reality, the hospital is about one or two blocks away, but walking there while feeling like shit, it’s hardly ideal. After all the paper work, we went up 5 floor by stairs because it was more efficient than queuing for the elevator.
The doctor took a look at me, and checked my temperature. My mom thought it was gonna be 38-something, but in reality it was closer to 40C. The doctor prescribed some pills, and some for the shot I was supposed to get. On our way down I told my mom “I can’t believe you made me go up 5 floors with almost 40C of fever” LOL
I had never been to the ER, but I went to it to get my shot against the fever. It hurt like a bitch. It still hurts! The worst part was that I had to go back walking after it!
Anyway, fever seems to be gone. But still need to take all those pills… *sighs*
no post today or maybe tomorrow.
got a fever of almost 40C.
the injection hurt like a bitch.
I found a review of Yoji Yamada’s Otouto, which will be closing the Berlinale this 21st – hopefully Yoji Yamada and the cast can be there. The review has possible spoilers~~~
So you’ve been warned!

One of the most “proud to be Canadian” moments at the Winter Olympics Opening, even if you’re not Canadian, was the moment Canadian slam poet, Shane Koyczan, took the stage with his “love song” to Canada “We Are More.”
CTV took some time to catch up with Shane after his presentation.
How does that feel?
I’m honestly flabbergasted. I don’t know how to react. All I can really say is thank-you, and those words never seem to suffice because I want to express the totality of my gratitude, but I don’t have much more to offer than thank-you. I guess it’s like I said in the poem: please and thank-you.
