So today is the day my blog in all its varied forms turns TEN!

I’ve witnessed first hand the massive impact the simple art of publishing one’s thoughts online has had on the world over the last decade, and it’s been amazing – no one could have foreseen how far it would take off. Hell, when I first signed up for Twitter four years ago I thought it would be another web 2.0 flop. Blogging encompasses so much now. It’s endless entertainment, it’s unpredictable, it’s dangerous, it’s an agent for revolution and reform, it’s a thriving hive of rapid information exchange, it’s eclectic and colourful in all its interests.

For all my knack for frequent blogging (which is to say, hardly ever), Evening Hour, this little blog, has always been there for me (or rather, almost always online thanks to a very reliable webhost) whenever I needed to rant or rave.

Now that I’ve finished with study, I’m hoping I’ll be able to update more often. This is my pledge to you! My vision for this blog is mainly going to be review based, with the occasional art/design inspiration updates. (So, basically the same thing I always did, but more emphasis on the former). Watch this space!

Well it’s probably obvious that I haven’t updated this in a long time. I’m wondering what I should do with this blog because I mostly post at my Livejournal. But I don’t want to abandon this to the winds either. So I shall be taking a longer break and coming up with something that will keep me interested in continuing this blog. Adieu for now, chickies~

Now that the damned essay has been handed in (it was utter agony like I’ve never imagined, yeesh!), there is only really studio and film to be worried about this week. The weather’s been improving, albeit the fluctuating winds remain as intense as ever. Shooting for my short film is on Sunday; unfortunately my partner and I left it to the last minute, well, not entirely last minute, but since it’s a still image film, we’re basically just going to be spending longer time in the editing room (not that we have one), probably at uni, since it has all the juicy programs: iMovie, AfterEffects, Final Cut Pro… Ah, the art of film making was never easy. :P Anyway, Fel was very generous in lending me her Canon D-SLR camera to me. I would so love one; I’ve been eyeing the Canon EOS 1000D and the slightly upper-class EOS 450D for a long time, but at the rate I’m saving up I probably won’t get it til mid-2009 or sommat. That’s OK. I can wait. There’s always the possibility that I’m going to China/Hong Kong after I graduate (if I decide not to pursue Honours), so I could get a …

‘Sup bitches!

A lot’s happened in the past three weeks:

- back at uni, huzzah.
- got sick, oh noes, although I made a remarkably speedy recovery
- saw Dark Knight on its first day of release, or in fact, first day of release in the whole world, lucky us!
- Dark Knight was bloody awesome by the way. Seeing it again this week at IMAX.

OK, not really a lot.

Anyway, I’m gonna have a proper review (with full coherent sentences!) of the Dark Knight, plus its music score hopefully after this Friday, which is when I am slightly freer.

This essay I’m writing is driving me up the wall; I’ve forgotten the entire process, having not brushed up on my skills for over a year. And it’s such a measly word limit at 800 words. *sighs*

A few videos to compensate for missing Videos of the Week:

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince trailer (looks pretty damn good, judging from the junior!Tom Riddle! But all trailers are misleading as hell):

ItsJustSomeRandomGuy’s latest “I’m a Marvel, I’m a DC” parody, brilliant take on the Dark Knight media hype and its sheer awesomeness:
