Making things less complicated

>>>>CLICK THIS<<<<

The sheer brilliance of this comic. It shows that what we all lack is common sense. I agree the things aren't always black and white and usually more complicated to deal with (to be noted that this complication is created by us). But it shows how these intricacies can be made to look simple.

We had a successful mass bunk in college today. We went to see Heyy Babyy at E-square and then had CadB. The movie was exactly what I expected, the creation of a not-so-sober script writer with lots of mindless comedy. This means that I had many chances to pass comments and in turn enjoy the movie. Yes, I particularly enjoy seeing bad movies because it's much more fun to criticize them. :)

I'm addicted to The Office. I'm watching season 1 now.

SPACIOUS

For once, by computer isn't on the verge of giving me low memory space notifications.
I'm loading all the Gilmore Girls, Heroes, Grey's Anatomy and The Daily Show episodes that uptil now resided on my iPod.
I have an entire 25Gb dedicated just to songs. SQUEEEEE!!!!

College was fun as usual. The seminar on hacking is postponed to Saturday, so I HAD TO attend college the full day. I completed all the DEL write ups though.

Tomorrow, I might go to see Hey Baby.

Red is feminine

All of a sudden my dad is apprehensive that his brand new N76 is red in color because its a bit "girly". Yes, all this within 24 hours. I am having a jolly good time poking fun at his selection and my mom is secretly trying to convince him to give her the phone (which is far too complicated by her standards and she admits this).

I just watched ManU vs. Tottenham. ManU won 1-0.
Nani's goal was brilliant but Berbatov made excellent moves, all stopped by Ferdinand.

I might attend a seminar on hacking tomorrow. But mostly I'm glad I'll be able to bunk 2 lectures and a practical. ^_^

I'm adding more space to my computer tomorrow. Maybe then I'll install Linux. I just have to see how to dualboot XP and Linux and get the whole partitions thing down right.


I find it hard to accept things as they are sometimes. I usually don't expect much from people. But when I do, rarely do I find the comfort adequate. Why am I built this way?! It fucking hurts.

Crash

I don't know if I should even mention this. Initially, I was shit scared about what was going to happen for the boy. Then I was worried about us. It's all ended smoothly, or atleast that's what I'm told. How they might've reached that conclusion, I don't know.
I hope that boy gets well soon.

I hate being cryptic but I have to maintain anonymity here.

And another win for Chelsea against Portsmouth! I didn't watch the match though.

I met my jr. college crowd yesterday. They're the only ones who actually "get me". I have to meet them atleast once a week or I really start going crazy.

ETA: We got N76 for my dad. I think it's hideous and bulky but he liked the red color. @_@

Mimicry is a sincere form of flattery...

... but I'm freaking tired of it. Cut it out. It bothers me and I feel trapped.

Your views disturb me. I pretend like I'm too conceited to notice, but I do.

Life isn't fair, I know this only too well. But I want just this one thing to work in my favor.

***

I saw Innocence: Ghost in the Shell 2 yesterday. It's a must see for every anime lover. If not, you must see it for the visual effects which are spectacular and the music score is very moving and adds well to the theme.
It's basically set in the futuristic dystopia, a period when robots and humans have merged. Humans have a robotic body (maintaining the natural look) while the only human part in them is their soul (aka ghost). Their memories and spirit are the only things that bind them to the human counterpart.
So when a company kidnaps two girls to create sex dolls, the victim manipulates some dolls to make them kill humans so that the police would notice. And they do.

The story goes deeper than just the mystery. It explores the human and robotic relationship. How humans create robots, making them as humanly as possible and still mistreat them.

Also, Black Jack is starting on Animax today. I have my regular fixation restored. ^_^
I look forward to seeing Pinnoco's 'OHMYGOODNESS!!!!'.

A busy week

Yesterday's match: Chelsea 1 - Liverpool 1
I'll admit this painfully, but that penalty should not have been awarded. Liverpool deserved to win. They pwned in the first half. Malouda jumped so that Drogba could run with the ball and just collided. Definitely not a penalty.

9 players booked?? Fuck Rob Styles.

The freshers party was amazing!! All went as planned and was a huge success.
But the I'll miss all the frenzy and planning (and waking up at 4am to iron the sashes) that went into it. I enjoyed every minute of it.

I might just upgrade my harddrive to 120 GB.

And we also bought Tata Sky. The cable connection we had was atrocious compared to Sky. The picture quality is amazing. Vh1, Animax, BBC Entertainment!!! I can finally watch 'Dr. Who'. Man, I just saw Powerpuff Girls in english.It was good to hear it in their original voices again. ;)

After traveling through a lot of friends, I finally have possession of my Deathly Hallows copy. I'm re-reading it now.

And yes, the unit tests were fine. I passed all papers. I didn't study much for them anyway, so I didn't expect a lot.

I can't think of a title today. So I'm just going to spam this space to make it look long. There. My longest title yet.

I'm so incredibly bored today. I thought I'd complete some of my drawings today. But I don't feel like doing that. What I want to do... is nothing.
So I've bunked college today and I can think of nothing better to do, so I'll just spill all that's happened this week.

We're all organising a freshers' party of the century. Since we received a very poorly managed and non entertaining one, we've put all our energy in pampering and spoiling our FE's. Those midgets are lucky to have us!! This is probably on the 18th of August.

On 11th August our class is having a trip to Guhaghar. I've never been there before. Even though I'm showing that I'm optimistic, I'm almost certain that it's going to rain there. But I presume it'll be a lot of fun.

I'm also having my unit tests from Monday. Shouldn't I be studying? Honestly, I think last minute study works best for me. I don't remember things I study 2 weeks before anyway.

We had a blast on Ashwini's birthday. We planned to go to Khadakwasla but after lunch we were all drowsy. So instead we watched MP3 and Premonition.
MP3 - OMG. Are you telling me that Indian airport security is so mismanaged that even an annoying stud an get through with a fake passport? This was mental torture. I was literally pulling my hair out. Have these idiots never heard of mobile phones? Telephones? Email? Messenger? I'd rate it in negative out of 5.

Premonition - A very confusing movie. We all got it in the end until the scene came where she's pregnant. Is her husband dead or not? Surely, I've missed something.

Deathly Hallows - Review

This goes without saying but SPOILER ALERT!!!
DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER UNLESS YOU'D WANT THE CONTENTS OF THIS BOOK INFLICTED ON YOUR PRECIOUS EARS!!!



+ Snape!!! OMG!!! You poor, poor self sacrificing person. I stood by my man and he's good and that's all I basically wanted in this book. I bet all Snape fans like me are happy that he's finally in the clear. Not just that but he's damn brilliant, being so efficient in occlumency.
+Harry/Ginny. Bleh. I still ship Harry/Luna.
+ 19 years later chapter was really cheezy. And how unoriginal can they be with names. Albus? Lily? James? WTF?!
+ I have a new favourite name - Xenophilius. If I ever manage to get a pet, I'm naming him/her that.
+ I kind of feel sorry for the Malfoy family now. Especially Narcissa.
+Best line in the book "NOT MY DAUGHTER, YOU BITCH!". Molly rocks even though often I don't always agree with her over protective tactics.
+Lupin dies. That really sucked.
+ Teddy Lupin?? You've got to be kidding me. But nothing sucked more than Lupin trying to escape from this marriage, very soap opera-ish. It looks like he married Tonks just to keep her happy. How retarded is that?
+ Mourning for Dobby. He died heroically.
+Killing just Fred was cruel. Either kill them both or let them BOTH live.
+Dumbledore being a power hungry wizard is something hard to believe... but I guess that was a part of what made this book so good. All the unexpected things inspite of all the theories that people had accumulated and predicted.

I really loved this book. Other than the prologue, I felt the war, the power, the people, it all did justice to the momentum created.

Yes, I am depressed that there is no other book to look forward to.

I've been a fan since I was 12 and Harry Potter has been a big part of me for the last 6 years. To see it all end now is disheartening. I know I sound like a crazy person but I'm sure every Potter obsessed fan is feeling the same.
