Musings on a Lazy Afternoon

Justice Secretary Raul Gonzalez recently underwent kidney transplant operations. He would then have to take immunosuppressants so that his immune system would not reject his new kidney. There is, however, no drug available to prevent his new kidney from rejecting him.

Mark Jimenez once again surfaced after the promulgation of the Estrada plunder trial verdict. For some reason, he refers to himself as “hulog ng langit” (heaven sent). It was most likely head first when he landed back to earth.

Have you noticed that in cartoons and animated films, someone is credited as director? How does one go about directing cartoon and animated characters?

For years we have been paying exorbitant electricity rates because, as power executives loved to point out, we also have to pay for the excess capacity that resulted from the liberalization of the power industry. Now these same people are telling us that we face an imminent power crisis again if we do not add more electricity generation capacity. What the hell happened to all that excess capacity that we have been paying through the nose for? My guess is, we have been duped into paying for non-existent excess capacity all these years.

In movies, why is it that when we are shown the view from a binocular, we see two overlapping circles when it should be just one circle. And when someone injects poison, he invariably taps the syringe to get rid of bubbles? Death by embolism probably isn’t as compelling a death by embolism—movie-wise.
