I watched Hero today. Good movie, great visuals. The stories pace wasn't hurried, but the fights were fast and terrific. I would say it was like visual poetry in martial arts, with lot of exaggerations just like poems, but but only to convey the beauty. Should watch more Chinese martial arts movies..

When I was in California, I went to Muir woods, just north of San Francisco.The tall Sequoia trees were really amazing. Fog set in during the walk in the woods. Really, fog in between tall trees or clouds clinging to the peeks of hills etc. increases the beauty many fold. I am waiting
for pictures from my friend, I'll upload once I get them.

Going through post vacation slump. (Just want to rename the perpetual slump to whatever suits the occasion, hehe). Anyway, got lot of work in my plate, should get going on them..
