Cashback (2004)
Director: Sean Ellis
Writer: Sean Ellis

Synopsis: Hart broken and tortured by insomnia Ben apply for a job at the supermarket explaining his view and experience of female beauty. In his imagination he stops time and undress female customers to capture their beauty on paper between the pranks of his male co-workers. Time comes to pass and the girl in the cash register seen to grow in beauty in Bens eyes giving him a chance to let go of the past and move forward in life. The movie is about love, art and supermarket co-workers and shows an interesting view of time and time stopping. The most obvious art in the movie might be the one of drawing, capturing beauty, but the red thread in the story is the path between one lost relation and the passionate flames of new love and the feelings it conquers.

Yesterday, I and my friends from Tokyo went to watch the movie "Cashback" to Osaka European Film Festival 2007. Actually, one of those friends is a friend of the director Sean Ellis, so we could enter free! Thank you Sean and James! :-)
The movie was so funny and beautiful in same time. And what the amazing story it was!
I totally could understand Ben's sad feeling that comes after losing own sweetheart... Bottomless, hopeless, and endless. Everyone has this kinda experiences, I guess. If you don't have no experience like this, you would learn how much pain they get, by your own decisions. hehe...
Whatever, this movie will come to Japan next year, at last. I'm gonna watch again! 'Nuff respect, Sean!

Recently, a couple of new functions were added to YouTube embed player.
One of those functions is the showing some related videos' list when the end of movies, or by clicking a button.
And the other one is the customising of the colors and the border of a player.

Related Videos' List
You can control about including this list or not by the parameter "rel".
"rel=0" = Don't include related videos
"rel=1" = Include related videos

Customise Color and Border
Use those parameters "color1", "color2" and "border".
Of course "border" is for the border.
"border=0" = Hide border
"border=1" = Show border
And the color customising is just a little bit complicated.
The parameter "color1" is for the base color of a player and border. But the base color is shown on the very thin top area only (when "border=0").
The parameter "color2" is for the over color. And this color is gonna be 80% transparented on the control area (Actually this color's shown on a part of the border, when "border=1", anyway).

So, as a result, the mixed color of "color1" and 80% "color2" will be the main color of a player.
I've changed some players on this page, so check'em out.

I was zapping through Youtube and found this movie. Computer love!
My first memorial computer was PC-9801UV when I was 15 year old.
I was really into drawing some very simple graphics by Basic at that time.
Now, I don't know how many computers I've ever used, but I wouldn't forget about PC-98 seriese forever... (So what?)

I moved...
Especially the chorus women's dance.
I miss you mom!!

Treat her right
Treat your mother right
Treat her right
Treat her right
Mother
There is no other
Like Mother
So treat Her right
Mother
I always Love Her
My Mother
So treat Her right, treat Her right
M is for the moan, and the miserable groan
from the pain that She felt when I was born
O is for the oven with it's burnin' heat
where She stood makin' sure I had something to eat
T is for the time that She stayed up at night
and took my temperature when I wasn't feelin' right
H is for the hard earned money She spent
to keep clothes on my back and try to pay da' rent
E is every wrinkle I put on Her face
and every worry that I caused when I stayed out late
The last letter R is that She taught me Respect
and for the room up in Heaven that I know She'll get
MR. T Chorus
Female Chorus
She's a Queen
Second to none
Take care of Mother
You only get one

She is a very popular comedian recently in Japanese internet scene. It's totally impossible to broadcast this program on public air, though... (This is an internet channel) I don't know how I can explain the reason why but, I think it's impossible still. You know what I mean?
Well, Giri Giri... LMAO
