It's late of October and two things are happening:
Halloween: Nothing fancy going on but I just happened to watch a whole lot of TV shows are doing their Halloween special. Some are downright scary, but others are taking the lighter tone of the festival.
Oktoberfest: If there's a festival that means a lot of drinking, I'm up for that.
Didn't expect 2008 flew by that fast, somehow I don't seem to be ready for 2009. Heh.
I know I shouldn't indulge more TV shows, but I came across this show titled "Pushing Daisies." A short summary of what this is about.
Main character: A dude that can resurrect the dead with a single touch. Yeah something like Midas, but doesn't turn things into gold though. But there's a catch: If the dead is remained alive for a minute, another living being dies in its place (to balance things out). Also, if he touch the revived being twice, it will be dead forever. Setting: A quirky looking town where he works as a pie maker, serving pies in a 50s diner. Story: Solving crimes with his partner who is a private investigator and his intelligent girlfriend, filled with weird victims, suspects and situations. Romances: He saved his girlfriend from the dead, and according to the rules of his power, he can't touch her, or she'll be dead forever. That means no hugging, kissing and not even holding her hand!
Sad huh? Loving someone that you can even touch, fearing that you will lose her forever.
Funny this great show wasn't very popular with the audience in the US. Might be too quirky for their taste.
I just love the motion graphics (composition is great). And the music. But I only watch 2 of the shows featured in the promo.
List of shows (in chronological order): Desperate Housewives - Extreme Makeover - Dirty Sexy Money - Ugly Betty - Private Practice - Pushing Daises - Brothers and Sisters - Eli Stone - Grey's Anatomy - Dancing with the Stars - Lost
I attended my cousins wedding yesterday, and boy it was a ritual filled event, with all the subtle gestures and the games some of the guest played on the groom in order to welcome the bride. As it is a traditional Chinese wedding, there is also a tea ceremony to the older generation.
After all the rituals are done , it's time to get ready to attend the banquet dinner. THe dinner is fine and all. But the highlight of the night for me is -- I met my high school CLASSMATE on my way back! I can't believe my eyes! But I did say hi to him.
When I asked who is he related to, he said he's the groom's distant relative. (I assume he's the groom's second cousin or something). So what are we then? He shrugged his shoulders. I too have no idea what kind of relation we have until I had to figure it out myself. (2nd cousin in law? Depends how "distant" relative to my cousin in law.)
The world is really small, you know. And I started to believe the theory of everyone is 6 degrees separated is true.
The best thing about tonight's that we're not fighting Could it be that we have been this way before I know you don't think that I am trying I know you're wearing thin down to the core
But hold your breath Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you Over again Don't make me change my mind Or I wont live to see another day I swear it's true Because a girl like you is impossible to find You're impossible to find
This is not what I intended I always swore to you I'd never fall apart You always thought that I was stronger I may of failed But I have loved you from the start Oh
But hold your breath Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you Over again Don't make me change my mind Or I wont live to see another day I swear it's true Because a girl like you is impossible to find It's impossible
So breathe in so deep Breathe me in I'm yours to keep And hold onto your words Cause talk is cheap And remember me tonight When your asleep
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you Over again Don't make me change my mind Or I wont live to see another day I swear it's true Because a girl like you is impossible to find Tonight will be the night that I will fall for you Over again Don't make me change my mind Or I wont live to see another day I swear it's true Because a girl like you is impossible to find You're impossible to find
