To Kill a Mockingbird

Best book I ever read.
Love the characters of Finch family...

Movies

Well... too busy to blog these days... but I thought why not simply keep track of movies that I saw and just add one line review...

IronMan- good (fancy robots and gripping screenplay).
Illusionist- good (Edward Norton's acting & interesing story).

Indian Jones IV- average (no story & old Harrsion Ford :( )

Good Riddance

I have had a laptop that came with Vista installed. After being lazy for an year, I finally got to nuke the crap out of it, and install XP...

And I'm so glad I did... I can feel the power for 2 GB RAM... I can use my webcam... I can watch my divx dvds... I can use VPN....I can just use it...
Good riddance!!

Funny robbing commercial :)

Buying a Wii

I am walking in a store... this is what I was thinking... Too bad I'm not going anywhere for holidays and most of my friends will be out of town...
Can I go somewhere not paying fortune over tickets.. nah... does not seem to be possible. Oh well.... what's that? an advertisement for "Nintendo Wii for $250 limited stock on hand"...
I don't play video games much... let me find out... store employee says they don't have any in the stock but might get some on Friday morning. That's too much I think.. it's easier to buy online.
I come home and search online for Wii.. it is not available anymore.. not for affordable prices anyway... Let me get up at 7am on Friday and give a shot.
I get up and call store...
Me: Did you get any Wii's?
Response: Yes we got some but they're all gone.
Another store.. same response... and another.. same response.

Well, let me give a last shot- call one last shop. The answer there is "yes sir, we've few". Five minutes later, I'm in the shop. And five more minutes, I'm a proud and happy Wii owner.... something to cheer about finally:)

Extremes of evolution: Pistol shrimp

I just saw this on Discovery and I cannot believe that a shrimp just a few inches long can produce a bubble that can burst at solar temperature...

Cheetos

Whenever I was hungry late after the noon at office, one thing that I liked to buy from vending machine without thinking was Cheetos- hot and crunchy version



Today when I walked to the same old vending machine, I found baked and lifeless version of Cheetos (with flashing words "fewer calories and less fat") replacing my favortie snack at the office and hidden ... world is getting filled with those diet-minded idiots... hmm life sucks....
