Sometimes it seems like everyone lets you down and nothing goes your way. Then, a series of interesting events occur that gives you a sense that things aren’t too bad and there are things to look forward to. I call these fortunate times “Pockets of Inspiration”. They aren’t always readily apparent and they need to be sought out, but when you find them, it’s worthwhile.
New material from Faye Wong might be on the horizon. She’s doing some ads so her break for motherhood may be soon over. Here’s a recent release of a song she did several years ago with new arrangement.
New episodes of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya are airing in Japan. Interspersed within the timeline of the original series, the first new episode is as good you expect, mixing different sci-fi conventions into an interesting milieu. I just hope they’re priming us for a new season.
The Storm Riders sequel is coming out in the near future and there is a new trailer. I’m not too confident in the Pang brothers based on the films I’ve seen from them but the footage doesn’t seem too bad. I’ve been waiting for the sequel for a decade so with the success of this film, I hope that more effects-laden epic martial arts movies will be on the horizon.
And the trailer for the next Final Fantasy game is just stunningly gorgeous. If the story and game mechanics are good, I might have to break down and get a PS3 when it’s released.
Now if only the unwatchable Naruto filler would end so that the main storyline could continue.
And I don’t know why, but I have this song on repeat.

That is the new season of Haruhi. It’ll just come interspersed with the old. I think that would be the only way to pick up the story again as it would be disjointed. I can’t imagine them doing the same episode scramble as season one. You just have to wait for it. I think next week will be a new episode. The first one of this new “season” is great. I think they changed the character design to make them all more moe. I’m enjoying it so far.
