The desire to be entertained has become stronger than ever. Strong enough to prevent me from doing anything else but seek entertainment. All I've been doing for the past few week(end)s is play video games, watch movies and listen to music. Thanks to my mum.
What does my mother have to do this, you ask? Well, she returned from her trip early this month. And with her came a GeForce 6800LE AGP card, a 7-speaker home theatre system (which supports a whole lotta formats, including DivX), a Sony Ericsson W800i mobile phone, a 2.1 speaker system for the computer, and an awesome pair of headphones for my mp3 player. So every weekend I'm home, I try to make the maximum possible use of the above, except the phone and headphones. Hell, I endured a Star Wars and Godfather movie marathon yesterday and today. And enjoyed watching Baraka on the TV instead of a 15-inch monitor the week before. Borrowed games that I couldn't play before due to an old GeForce 2 video card.
When I'm away at the hostel for the rest of the week, I'm thinking about what movies I should watch when I get back home, while playing Yeti Sports on my phone and listening to songs in shuffle mode on my player. When I'm not in College, that is. There I'm trying to convince friends that Yeti Sports is bad for health and trying to get my phone back from them.
And that's why you aren't reading an entry about why it's really stupid idea to make a short film for the first time in your life in one friggin' day. Or an entry about how I lost a bag full of clothes, a phone recharge card worth Rs. 330 and my room keys. Consider yourselves lucky. And be fooled into thinking that this is a whole new design when it's just a slightly tweaked version of the previous one. MSN Astrology predicted the template change - "Today you could be in a creative frame of mind. Your artistic blah blah... Even if you are just working on your computer, you could design graphics for a web page". I didn't know MSN had associations with the NSA/CIA/FBI/Interpol.

ReplyDeleteSounds like every day I spend at work. Except I'm thinking about drinking beer, playing PS2, and blogging.
JJ: Touche.
ReplyDeleteTeja: Thankee, that was the idea behind the design. Simplicity.
Yetisports it is. Damn you.
Nope, at least not until five minutes back at IMDb. It's a different font, and it uses a brighter shade of yellow and red. Oh wait, that's just the poster. CD Universe tells me that it's the same. Except for a few letters here and there. Wow. Providence?
ReplyDeleterads: That's gotta be one helluva school uniform.
ReplyDeletesandeep: Haven't had the time to get myself a new one.
sagaro: Thanks da...
i like your template. Very Neomordern - simple yet stylish. I especially like that lotusy thing. I like your mum, too!
ReplyDeleteNeat design! looks like an opened roll of scotch tape in 1024 X 768.
ReplyDeleteDid you ever notice that your name shows at the bottom of the page? Not secretive anymore eh?
lavanya: Neomodern? Oooh.
ReplyDeleteodeen: Odeen? When did you start calling yourself Odeen? As for the name, it's been there for ages, and if you read the archives, you'll probably know more about it. You're the second person to draw attention to it.
