This probably is the fifth or sixth time that I look up the difference between the meanings of the words "glove" and "mitten/mitt". Duh!

I for one am observant of news. It's trainspotting or "trendspotting" if you will. :-)

Unfortunately for U. Q., the chickens will come home to roost.

There appears to be so many food produces in China with improper additives in them that I for one become more and more reluctant to consume foods imported from China.

We have two swivel chairs - one is so-called manager chair, and the other task chair.

And the current condition of the flooring under the task chair is much worse than that under the manager chair.

I don't understand why.

Good now, French foodstuff really tastes superior.

Many a time, one's extreme sanguinity exposes his ignorance.

Sometimes I would want to smite the English language, if such a thing existed physically.

There are so many new words whose meanings have to be learned, and worse than that, there are so many new words I encounter every month!

Anyways, eventually I'm gonna kick ass. Release the kraken.

Is the notion just a visceral myth that China will become the No. 1 or 2 power in the world in several decades, which various people often claim?

We must keep in mind that things, as well as history, always don't develop linearly.

The Labatt Bleue Dry beer isn't bad.

The competitive landscape of the computing devices sector, be they traditional or mobile, has been shifting tectonically, in quite complex manners.

The major players have been Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Samsung.

Effectively, the traditional Taiwanese PC and phone makers are in great trouble, especially the possibly moribund Acer, I guess, although it appears to be marketing its computers aggressively in Canada.

In fact, it's been reported quarters ago that Acer had to sell some of its significant real estates in Taipei to offset some of its losses on its P&L statement. That doesn't bode well for Acer.

"Blub" is solely a British English word, while "blob" exists in both American English and British one.

And their forms are so simplistic and easy to be confused with each other.

A well written sentence

Billy dozed off first, and roosters were crowing somewhere in the distance when Saxon's eyes closed.

-Chapter II, The Valley of the Moon by Jack London

Naturally, seeing and being close to sunshine makes me feel sanguine.

About the flick Exiled

Intriguingly, the Jonnie To movie Exiled has only a Hong Kong box-office gross of HK$687,434 and merely a U.S. box-office gross of US$49,413.(See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exiled#Box_office.) By contrast, the film won quite a few awards, including Hong Kong ones and international ones. (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exiled#Accolades.) Plus, the particular Wikipedia web page has got a PageRank of 4, which indicates the web page, hence the movie itself, is important.

Anyways, I watched the flick months ago. And I must say it's not my cup of tea. It's largely only appreciated by experts, critics, and real buffs of movies, I'm afraid.

Time goes by quickly in the noises of the news about this and that social networking website coming up from nowhere.

About the novel A Christmas Carol

From Ten things you never knew about Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol, we know:
1. The Dickens novel has been really popular.
2. Pirating others' work did exist in England. For instance, Parley’s Illuminated Library, an ephemeral magazine, pirated that novel of Dickens. It's only the laws and their enforcement which can prevent pirating.

What a martial stalk by North Korean military women in the first half of the video piece.
