Gmail Teahouse Theme Screenshots
view of my Gmail account with the Teahouse theme, blurred the
details of my inbox of course
I used the Teahouse theme for my Gmail account in the past few months. And I noticed how it changes scenes and how the fox character changes locations or activities in the design depending on what time of day it was. It's fun trying to check out what might be the latest setting for the time I open my email. So much so that I took to taking screenshots of each changed scene that I catch. Lol.

My List of Overrated Films
The following big-ticket films disappointed me and made me wonder at all the fuss. Will update this post every time I find another film overrated.
1. Eclipse and all its sequels.
Just when I thought it's done with a part two, here comes a part 3. Gah.
2. Shutter Island (by Martin Scorsese)
3. Inception (by Chris Nolan)
Tried to make its story seem smart but isn't really smart at all. At least The Matrix movies got it right. lol.
4. The Departed (by Martin Scorsese)
You'd be better off watching the original Hong Kong version Infernal Affairs, anytime. And this won an Oscar? *shakes head*
5. Hugo (by Martin Scorsese)
Attempted to resemble an artsy fartsy French film but story failed to engage the audience. Too dull. Felt sorry for the kid who was watching it beside me. Glad I didn't have to pay to see it (saw it for free care of rewards points from card), but appreciated the cinema history lesson. Liked the little dogs though. :P
6. Mystic River (by Clint Eastwood)
No more Clint Eastwood films for me from then on.
7. Star Wars prequels.
Should have stopped at the 3rd installment of Star Wars.
8. An Education (by Lone Scherfig)
9. Atonement (by Joe Wright)
10. The Notebook (by Nick Cassavetes)
11. vintage drama movies starring Leonardo di Caprio
No thanks. lol.
For now, it's safe to say that if a film is by Clint Eastwood or Martin Scorsese, count me out of going to see it. hehe.
