Two months ago my processor just gave its last “breath”/spin. I suspect it’s because of the intense rebooting sessions (and frequent travels to the balcony for intense cooling :P) it had to endure last summer because it didn’t have enough coolers :( This is why it’s been pretty quiet around here :)

But no more. I am now the proud owner of a Xeon powered computer (2 processors, 2,8 GHz each). It’s more of a graphic station, than your high performance PC. Didn’t go for the Mac like most creatives since I’m still quite a geek in many ways, can’t forget my IT studies in highschool :D Though I can’t say the “dark” side hasn’t tried to lure me hehe (I have an iMac at work).
Hope it “lives” at least half the time of the last one :)

And counting the days till I buy an A5 wide Wacom tablet (one month left, I hope)…

It’s called Paprika, already released in Asia last year. The trailer is a must see. It seems Satoshi is again exploring psychological themes, taking it this time to the extreme (this time it’s all about dreams). Visually, I dare say it’s better than anything the US studios can come up. Can’t wait to see it. Animenewsnetwork gave it an A+ rating :)
Satoshi Kon has directed Millennium Actress, Tokyo Godfathers, Perfect Blue and Paranoia Agent. He is one of the top five anime directors from Japan.
