Should really be proofreading instead of watching his other videos....

Rubber ducky

I've always referred to the rubber ducky song, but never knew the entire lyrics... well, I finally looked it up - the memories :)

Vintage Sesame Street - Rubber Duckie (Ernie)

You guessed it, more links:

and on a more depressing note, Clive Wearing (man without a memory).

1 Litre of Tears

Well, turns out I didn't post as much as I thought I would, all due to me trying to get some results so I can actually write a thesis and maybe a paper :/ Anyway, I just finished watching a Japanese drama called "1 Litre of Tears" or "Ichi Rittoru no Namida" and I can honestly say it is one of the saddest story I have ever seen. (Maybe that's why it took me so long to watch - only 11 eps, yet it took me 7 months to finish ><) There's a brief info about it on DramaWiki. It's based on the diaries of Kitou Aya, a girl who was diagnosed of Spinocerebellar ataxia. Although she eventually passed away at the age of 25, her story still lives on in the form of a book and TV series of the same name. Her diaries are also being translated and one such example can be found here.

So it's exam/studying time for most students here, and we all know what that means - time to procrastinate! A friend sent me these two links and while I got somewhat annoyed by the jingle, they're still pretty cool to watch. Enjoy :P

I'm currently watching Correspondent ("Beyond Words") on Newsworld and for this ep, it's about photographers of war and how they deal with what they see. For those with a weak stomach, I strongly suggest you don't watch this episode. Anyway, several of them talked about not showing pictures that they took to the public because it was too graphic. But then my question is why did they take those pictures to begin with, if they knew it wouldn't be used? One or two brought up the point that the pictures are at the expense of the victims, especially those who have died since they cannot defend against the picture/photographer. However, others have mentioned that everything should be shown, that it is our duty to know what is going on. Both of these points are valid, and quite frankly I'm not sure what to make of it. I'm quite sure there are people who'll say well, they can write about the situation and inform us that way without the need for those pictures. Sadly, I have to admit that for me, looking at the pictures definitely had a much bigger impact on me than just learning about it. I've talked about this before, that we (well, me) are desensitized. Scary thought... But perhaps it is a good thing they don't show everything - if we get used to what we see, then what else is left to wake us up?

"This is a dangerous mission. And it's likely one of us will be killed."

Captain Kirk: This is a dangerous mission. And it's likely one of us will be killed.
Captain Kirk: The landing party will consist of myself, Mr. Spock, Dr. McCoy, and Ensign Rickey.
Ensign Rickey: Crap.

Anyway, just found this and so far the trailer looks pretty good:
Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning

[Edit] Oh yeah, I've started to play some Urban Dead. Surprisingly fun and addictive - even though they've made it hard to get addicted to :D.

PTV

So I was waiting in line (first for our showing :D) for Harry Potter on friday when we started to talk about old TV shows and their opening themes. We had trouble remembering the lyrics and tunes, but it was still fun showing off our "age." Needless to say I wish I can watch them all again...

Anyway, I went around looking for opening themes to some of my favourite cartoons and here they are (all from www.retrojunk.com):

Darkwing Duck
Daring duck of mystery
Champion of right
Sweeps out of the shadows
Dark wing of the night
Somewhere some villain schemes
But his number's up!

(3, 2, 1!)
Darkwing Duck!
(When there's trouble you call D.W.!)
Darkwing Duck!
("Let's get dangerous!")
Darkwing Duck!
(Darkwing, Darkwing Duck!)

Out of smoke and he appears
The master of surprise
Who's that coming 'round behind
The shadowy disguise?

Nobody knows for sure
Bad guys are outta luck!
Here comes

Darkwing Duck!
Look out!
(When there's trouble you call D.W.!)
Darkwing Duck!
("Let's get dangerous!")
Darkwing Duck!
(Better watch out you bad boys!)
Darkwing Duck!
(Darkwing, Darkwing Duck!)

Chip 'N Dale Rescue Rangers
Sometimes some crimes
Go slipping through the cracks
But these two
Gumshoes
Are picking up the slack
There's no case too big
No case too small
When you need help just call

CHORUS:
Ch-ch-ch-Chip 'N Dale
Rescue Rangers
Ch-ch-ch-Chip 'N Dale
When there's danger
No, No, it never fails
Once they're involved
Somehow whatever's wrong gets solved

SECOND CHORUS:
Ch-ch-ch-Chip 'N Dale
Rescue Rangers
Ch-ch-ch-Chip 'N Dale
When there's danger
No, no, it never fails
They'll take the clues
And find the wheres and whys and whos

Ch-ch-ch-Chip 'N Dale
Rescue Rangers
Ch-ch-ch-Chip 'N Dale
When there's danger
Ch-ch-ch-Chip 'N Dale
