Cheng Aleng. Along. (A Blog.). 140-character frippery from self-confessed self-confessor. I game, therefore I ought to be. Those damn ‘puter games have me in their spindly claws again. After the wedding, we didn’t need any more plates or bath towels. Our linen closet vomits rainbows of bedsheets. So we (and, by default, our kind wedding guests) decided to indulge in a luxury. Enter the Playstation 3. Gendered kids’ play. I’m not a real gamer if I enjoy something like The Sims 3. Gets a begrudging pass, b...

Cheng Aleng. Along. (A Blog.). 140-character frippery from self-confessed self-confessor. Windmills standing sentinel over the rolling hills of Beaufort, surrounding the new site. The daily grind: coffee revelry. As I’ve mentioned before. The machine almost gave out on us on the last day. The pressure kept dropping dramatically, which hadn’t happened in preceding days when both Mel and I were on the steam wands. That said, we were grateful for the breaks while we waited for our asthmatic ma...And the Cha...

And the hills and deserts of Westeros and Essos (Hello,. A friend of mine went to an Eric Whitacre workshop, where he talked about his A Boy And A Girl composition, and how creating that song taught him that value of rests, not just for the singers to breathe, but also for the audience to breathe. This has reminded me that this isn’t a down...

Blues and ‘romance’ | Cheng. Aleng. Along. (A Blog.)
https://chengaleng.wordpress.com/2011/09/02/blues-and-romance
Cheng Aleng. Along. (A Blog.). 140-character frippery from self-confessed self-confessor. Blues and ‘romance’. Warning, the end is really cluttered, and I’ll clean it up over the weekend.*. Having a good think about blues dancing, the sort of people it attracts and the reputation it has, triggered by this somewhat misleadingly tield NPR podcast, The Healing Power of Blues Dancing. Why not enjoy the confidence of the movement? I love blues pretty much the same way I love lindy. Endorphins from exercis...

Alan Ball was in town for a night, and he spoke to a packed out RMIT Storey Hall about his beginnings in sitcoms, “moments of shit”, American Beauty and, of course, True Blood. 1) His description of Nelsan Ellis as, “channelling from Planet Lafayette.”. 3) The formulaic nature of sitcoms. Every episode centred around a climatic “moment of shit”. Notify me of new ...

Cheng Aleng. Along. (A Blog.). 140-character frippery from self-confessed self-confessor. When I first met your mother. Last night, I asked him how he met my Aunt. Apparently it was at a fancy dress party where he was dressed in a gorilla suit and apron, along with a catheter bag half-filled with dilute tea, strapped to his leg. Edit — it wasn’t a party. He was on his regular rounds at the hospital. He was in a gorilla suit and surgical gown, with the catheter bag attached.]. Why you want to know? Anyway...

Cheng Aleng. Along. (A Blog.). 140-character frippery from self-confessed self-confessor. Recurring dreams – Chinese examinations. Leave a comment ». Bloody Mandarin. I frequently dream that I’m in Chinese classes in high school. Then I find out that there is an exam that I haven’t studied for. On top of that, I try to get to the exam hall, but all sorts of obstacles come in my way. I never get to complete the tasks. What is changing within me? January 11, 2011 at 11:13 am. I game, therefore I ought to be.
