Quite difficult to picture that this box is your bedroom, huh?

But in less than 10 minutes, you can actually set it up into an entire bedroom complete with an armoire, a desk (surface 80 by 160 cm), a height-adjustable desk chair, two stools, a tall set of shelves, a bed (200 by 80 cm) and a mattress. Now isn’t that pretty clever?

The CASULO is for people on the move, those in job training, students, and people who have to change their location frequently. The unit is ideal for people in the service industries. People who must move frequently and rent empty rooms need no longer accumulate sets of inexpensive furnishings whose transportation costs are higher than the value of the furniture.

A collaborative project of the two designers Marcel Krings und Sebastian Mühlhäuser, Casulo won the Abraham & David Roentgen Prize for its innovative design in November 2007.

I bet you want to see how this box transforms into a bedroom so click the play button already!

I hope Casulo would come up with a kitchen in a box too. Shiny, shiny! I can prepare and cook gourmet meals anytime, anywhere. Lol.

The Raindance Network, a group of writers who supports independent films in the U.K., offers a handful of slang that can make the script that you’re writing extra interesting. Right off the bat, it adds wit and banter to ordinary statements.

Here are some of my favorites.

ASSMOSIS.
The process by which people seem to absorb success and advancement by sucking up to the boss rather than working hard.

404.
Someone who’s clueless. From the World Wide Web error message ‘404 Not Found’ meaning that the requested document could not be located.

PERCUSSIVE MAINTENANCE.
The fine art of whacking the crap out of an electronic device to get it to work again.

SALMON DAY.
The experience of spending an entire day swimming upstream only to get screwed and die.

BLAMESTORMING.
Sitting round in a group, discussing why a deadline was missed or a project failed, and who was responsible.

Here’s the complete list from Raindance.

Use this in your regular expressions and you’ll have people with the same level of understanding or intellect, smiling in amusement, and the 404s, just scratching their heads, wondering what’s funny. Lol.

This is part of the L movie poster:

And this is me with L:

Haha! This picture was actually taken last year at the Hataw Hanep Hero 2007 at SMEX. That guy really looks like L, a bit thinner but still looks and acts like L. Pretty cool, huh? Anyway, the L movie (the spinoff/prequel of live-action DN 1 and 2) which I mentioned months ago, has now the official title of L Change the World. It will hit Japan, Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan cinemas this Saturday, February 9. How I wish movies like this will also be shown here. I guess I just have to wait for the DVD release.
