Maybe boundaries are better left unchallenged

Number 1: MP3 PLAYER!!! :D yes, i finally got around to getting one of these handy dandy gadgets. finally i can carry my music with me wherever i go. and no, it's not an ipod touch (i honestly wish i had that kind of money, but no...), but rather a creative zen mozaic ez300, which is basically a budget version of the original zen mozaic (which is kinda weird, since usually it's the high-tech upgrades that have longer names than the originals). it set me back $97, which i feel is quite a good deal for something that's 4GB with colour screen, built-in speakers and above-average sound quality. it also means that i'll be stuck with my NS-grade phone till... well, till after NS, but i still think it's a good trade in exchange for the mp3 player.

Number 2: IRON MAN 2!!! just watched it this afternoon, and it really is quite awesome. adrenaline junkies will be disappointed though, as this ain't a micheal bay production. and precisely because it's not from micheal bay, you can expect a coherent plot (remember transformers 2? -.- ). but i feel that the shine of this movie is not from the literally reflective iron man suit (bad pun, i know, but lets move on) but from robert downey jr. he did with iron man what tobey maguire was desperately trying and epically failing to do with spiderman: portraying a superhero who can be funny one moment and serious the next, and occasionally even both at the same time. to add icing to the cake, mickey rourke did an excellent job as whiplash. and finally, war machine is basically the most badass mechatronic character to be animated in cgi:

optimus prime, not even wearing jetfire's dead body can make you cooler than this. sorry, but it's the cruel truth.

Maybe the stars are beyond our reach to stop us from burning
Maybe the glass ceiling keeps us from floating away
Maybe the horizon prevents us from seeing what we shouldn't
Maybe it's called a miracle because it doesn't happen
