			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Scenario: Person A of height 1.63m is moving at a constant velocity of 1.3 ms<sup>-1</sup> towards west, carrying an unzipped bag on her right shoulder with a 0.1m x 0.1m opening. Bird B is flying at a constant velocity of 15 ms<sup>-1</sup> towards north, 2m above Person A, carrying a 0.1m x 0.1m soaked piece of bread (C) of mass 0.3 kg in its beak. Bird B releases Bread C at unknown time <em>t</em>.</p>
<p>Question: Assume that there is no air resistance, calculate the probability of Bread C landing directly <em>into</em> Person A&#8217;s bag.</p>
<p>Answer: Apparently not zero.<br />
Source: Life.</p>
<p>P.S. Yes, this could have been much, <em>much</em> worse.<br />
P.P.S. I hate birds.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My deviantART account is <del>at least 3</del> <ins>almost 4</ins> years old. I don&#8217;t remember what prompted me to register an account there seeing that I absolutely do not consider myself an artist and had no intention to upload anything back then.</p>
<p>Last night, I uploaded a rough, not-very-anatomically-accurate, digital <a href="http://vickiediablos.deviantart.com/art/Road-to-Mad-Keen-Hits-159365717">sketch of the nosebleed-inducing Desire Demon from Dragon Age</a> (<strong><abbr title="not safe for work">NSFW</abbr></strong>) to my scrapbook, which is partially an <del>excuse to draw naked women</del> experiment to see if <abbr title="tits and asses">T&#038;A</abbr> on an unknown and otherwise empty <abbr title="deviantART">dA</abbr> account can really get the Mad Keen Hits&trade; <a href="http://void-star.net">Dee</a> mentioned.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s been around 21 hours since I uploaded it and there are 32 views at the time of writing. Subtract the 2 comments/views and 5 possible views from the 5 people who read my blog, and taking diminishing returns into account&#8230; the resulting number should be a pretty accurate one of the Mad Keen Hits&trade; that scrap received on N days after it&#8217;s uploaded.</p>
<p>I marked it as mature content, by the way; you&#8217;d need an account to view it.</p>
<p>And then I realised that must be <em>precisely the reason why I registered a <abbr title="deviantART">dA</abbr> account <del>three</del> <ins>four</ins> years ago</em>.</p>
<p>Vickie, you dirty person!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I randomly came across these 30-second ads by the <a href="http://www.hksinfonietta.org">Hong Kong Sinfonietta</a> on YouTube while I was looking to expand my Schubert collection. Let me just say this: I. Absolutely. Love. Those ads! Love! Description of videos provided below each one if you can&#8217;t/don&#8217;t want to view them or don&#8217;t understand Cantonese.</p>
<h3>Video 1 (Beethoven)</h3>
<p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/c10QeppdlIc&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/c10QeppdlIc&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344" /></object></p>
<p>Beethoven(-lookalike) straggles down the street whistling (Beethoven&#8217;s) Symphony No. 5, one trouser leg shorter than the other. Camera zooms to his legs with noises of flies around, he scratches one leg with the other foot. Camera zooms up, his hair is grey and messy. He continues down another street and a passerby does a double take. A policeman approaches him around the corner and asks to check his ID card. Beethoven reaches for his ID, dropping his tissue, keys, more keys, coins and everything in the process, and hands the police the ID.</p>
<p>Narrator (while Beethoven is shoving all the crap he&#8217;s dropped back into his pockets): Beethoven was known to be a very messy person. So why do you think classical music is pretentious now?</p>
<h3>Video 2 (Mozart)</h3>
<p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/iMwa7915XJ0&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/iMwa7915XJ0&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344" /></object></p>
<p>Mozart(-lookalike) flamboyantly hops into a barbershop. He greets the barber by rubbing his face, laughs out loud as he reads a comic book and switches his wig with the toupee of the man next to him who&#8217;s nodded off.</p>
<p>Narrator (while Mozart is laughing and playing with toupee in mirror): Mozart was known to have a playful personality. So why do you think classical music is only serious now?</p>
<h3>Video 3 (Schubert)</h3>
<p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/cKMzmQzjAhk&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/cKMzmQzjAhk&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344" /></object></p>
<p>Schubert(-lookalike) is in a small and shared bedroom with two other men in their undershirts. All three men have no shoes on and are eyeing a pair of shoes in the room. They play rock-paper-scissors and one man wins. Schubert and the other loser look frustrated as the winner happily claims the shoes.</p>
<p>Narrator (while Schubert and the other man watch the person with the shoes walk out): Schubert was known to be completely broke. So why do you think classical music is something reserved for the rich now?</p>
<h3>And I Say</h3>
<p>And that&#8217;s classical music, seriously! I&#8217;m sick of people telling me that I have a refined, elegant, pretentious, strange or what-have-you taste in music. What I like is very much like what you like. If you (don&#8217;t) like it, you (don&#8217;t) like it. If you (don&#8217;t) understand the appeal, you (don&#8217;t) understand the appeal. It&#8217;s really just that.</p>
