Sitcom Idea – Set in Beijing

admin — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 16:25:33 +0000

Tonight, my writing partner and I came up with a pretty decent sitcom idea. No, I’m not going to blog about it (and thus give it away), but it’s making me happy thinking about it. It has a simple cast set up and it’s set in Beijing.

Enjoying re-reading Don Quixote to make sure I get the right tone on this translation.

Finishing Subtitle Translation for Chinese Adaptation of Don Quixote

admin — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 05:57:26 +0000

I can’t tell you anything about the content of the movie yet, but feel safe to report that it’s very funny. A mash-up of the Cervantes novel and Chinese “wuxia” fiction. Working hard to get the translation just right (And I’m already over deadline. Not good.)

Alrighty, gotta start blogging less about animals/veganism here and just focus this blog on creative stuff. For the animal rights and veganism side of my life will do that on two other websites.

7 Rescued Kittens for Adoption

admin — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 05:40:43 +0000

UPDATE 2: Apparently, all of the Magnificent 7 are adopted out!

UPDATE:

- “Cosmo” was adopted!

- Very wonderful people came forward to help foster several of the kittens

Get the Flash Player to see this video.

A Good Samaritan named Lisa rescued these little guys and girls from an intersection where they were abandoned by someone. They’re currently only two weeks old, and already had their first check-up (healthy), but we want to find homes for them as soon as possible. They won’t be able to take home for another 2 to 4 weeks, but given the large size of the litter, we want to find homes as soon as possible. As they get older, will post more photos here.

FOSTERS NEEDED TOO: If anyone is experienced in caring for very young kittens (bottle-feedings every three hours and helping the litter fellers poop and pee), Lisa really needs some assistance.

Buddhist Quotation of the Day (I’m Not Buddhist, But The Quotations Are Cool)

admin — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 04:38:41 +0000

“All beings tremble before violence. All fear death. All love life. See yourself in others. Then whom can you hurt? What harm can you do?” (often attributed to the Buddha.)

I love this quote, but I keep thinking that perhaps the person who said it (or composed it), might have mistaken Planet Earth for another planet or universe where people actually gave a crap.

The Catalan Parliament just outlawed bullfighting. Awesome. There’s a video here showing the law being voted on.

The Constitution of India’s call for compassion to all living creatures

admin — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 05:12:54 +0000

I never knew this before, but the Constitution of India is, it seems, the first constitution in the world to include consideration of other Earthlings:

“It shall be the Fundamental Duty of every citizen of India to protect and improve the Natural Environment, including forests, lakes, rivers and wildlife and to have Compassion for all living creatures”.

Article 51 – A (g) of Constitution of India
