Seem like no one has an interest in Anime. I love this genre.. I haven't seen very many. But my favorite is NINJA SCROLL. |

I hope HELLBOY 3 gets the same director. I really felt for that elf prince. Yah, I felt bad for the Elf Prince too. His Magical World wuz disappearing, although frankly, if he had wanted that Elemental to survive, he shouldnt haf let it loose in its magical pea! And why did his statute look exactly like him when Elf Princess wuz kinda not so good? |

For its time it is very violent & also has notable sexual violence. Didn't grab me though. Wasn't my cup of tea. But do respect the animation. |

Why haven't you updated you blog? Are you very quiet in real life? Is that why you work in a bookstore? Do you like cat videos?

Well. Where can I begin... This past week has been hectic as... Over the past two weeks, I've been working everyday!! Only had the Wednesday gone, off. Even then I was busy driving about the vast lands of Auss. Also yesterday, I spend all day learn the theory & basic concepts of Existentialism. Boy tough gig, would't want to sallow all that info in a hurry.  So basically I have not had the pleasure of sitting down & composing the events of my life. But you have promoted me to share with you an event that just happen the other day. On this day I went two hours south of where I live. Just past one of the largest industrial micro centres of NSW, Woolingong is the name. Why did I drove so far you ask? Well a friend I haven't seen in ten years, is travelling up from Melbourne, Victoria, through NSW. We deiced to go to a Buddhist temple, just down the road. The site is actually right next a freeway that delivers traffic to the south coast. I've always seen this huge building. But never been inside, so this was my chances.   We had lunch as well. Vegetarian only of course, the Buddhist way.  It was amazingly big.. I was impressed by the gardens our lush and green it all was. This i think is due in part, to the really wet weather winter we've had.  So much more could be said, but I hate to ramble... Questions are good. ;D |

What was inside? Was it full of emptiness as a Buddhist temple should be?
What is that tiny fried thing? I need an entire bushel of them to fill me up!
Are those tea cups on the lawn? Did you see a white rabbit around there?

What was inside? Was it full of emptiness as a Buddhist temple should be? What is that tiny fried thing? I need an entire bushel of them to fill me up! Are those tea cups on the lawn? Did you see a white rabbit around there? Well they had a library, which was closed during the week day. A museum full of statues of buddha and other deities. Oh thats right, in this museum, the Abbot showed of his calligraphy, one brush stroke. Some amazing cravings made with wood and the most amazing thing was the chinese characters transcript on individual strand of hair. Had to look from a magnifying glass to see it. The main temple had huge statues of gods & goddess and covering the walls around the inside were small figures of other deities. The Pagoda, the second picture, has ashes of devotees within the tower. The centre has the biggest statue of Buddha. No photographs are allowed within any of the temples. Only the outside, as you've seen. Plenty of wooden boxes, say "donations greatly appreciated" From what I saw, I think they have plenty of money. What you see on the plate is a fried zucchini. As I said before, no meat what so ever!!! It is the Buddhist way to eat no animal. I have no idea what those flowers are meant for... I was purely showing what was outside of the main buildings. This was not there while I there. NO mammals to be seen, just the birds!! I did find these little statues amusing. As you can see their tiny compared to a lot of the other statues. They have funny expressions, even one picking his nose..  More outside view  |

The only 'mock meat' I saw was pork, didn't have any. Wanted to be truly vegetarian..
Yes, I think it would be a lovely place for Avril's wedding.. Although it is way too far south for anyone to go for just a wedding...

I'll answer your question here, PiLite. I occasionally play the piano. I performed four pieces for my Higher School Certificate (HSC). They were, "Send in the Clowns - A Little Night Music" "Jesus, Joy Man's desiring - Bach" "Praeludium 1 - Bach" and "Three Gymnopedies - Erik Satie" Music was my highest scoring subject overall..

Waaah, did you take that glorious piccie of the yellow Buddhist Temple in the background of glorious lotus? Now I want to paint my house bright yellow! Mock meat isnt meat at all. Thats why its called *mock.* I do believe its tofu flavoured to taste like whutever meat you want. If done well, you wont be able to tell the difference, particularly if its one of those Chinese shredded pork dishes. I wondur whut is the meaning of the little statues. Buddhists can be funny too? I think you will learn a lot of music from all the youtubes in this joint!  |

No I didn't take any of these photos. I could be bothered, half the time. Especially when they say "no camera"...
On another topic, I was out & about with some friends other dragon boat training. As we were having dinner, one the guys pull out his iPad and showed me this video. I couldn't believe how popular xtro normal was.. It reminded me of sunfrog.. I laughed so hard when I heard this.
Enjoy!
