casualties of war

found this pic around.. taken when nette and grace came to my place to give me something before i left.. on the steps of the staircase.. we kinda look like we're conducting some shady business.. like drugs or something.. or at least i do.. one thing that destroys this "shady image" is how widely they're smiling.. hurhurhurrr. sneaky man. actually come to think about it. with my excuse for a haircut and worn out shirt.. i kinda look like their hostage.

i had a nightmare just now.. to cut a long story short. a whole series of funny events occured.. but anyways somehow i was trying to find my war vet professor a place to stay.. but ended up taking him down to a tunnel full of bodies all chopped up.. mashed up.. whatever it is.. from the war for 4 hours and 11 minutes. this is what happens when you let your mind get too busy.. too involved in what you're studying.. and well.. career.. sigh.

there's a great war movie i watched a long time ago called casualties of war... actually i cant really use the word great. im sorry. coz war is just too damn disgusting.. and to use great would be celebrating its portrayal on film. which is still dead ugly. but it is a well made film. if anyone is interested in war.. can check it out. old film. Michael J Fox.

if anyone has a mac.. they should subscribe to something on the straits times website which will give auto updates on news when you come online... i was just scrolling through that day (can only see headlines and summary if you wanna read the whole thing you gotta fork out some cash) and there was this interesting piece of news about a british soldier's postcard to his sweetheart which finally arrived 92 years after he sent it from the trenches of world war 1. anyway he got out alive and they got married, but now their daughter who's already a grandmother of 3 doesnt understand what the fuss is over this. -_-. weird. i think it's.. dare i say it.. quite a romantic story.
