More Doodles and Ramblings

These are the two doodles that I did over the past 2.5 months. All I can say is that they aren't completely random. Try figuring out !!

Other news:

* Bad TV days !! Survivor ended on not-so-happy note and Studio 60 has been cancelled.

* Saw the latest Ocean's 13 trailer on TV. The way George Cloony replies to Al Pacino reminds me of Vijaykanth delivering a "punch" dialogue. I can't seem to think of anything else whenever the trailer is on. Is it just me?

* Finished 'A stone for Danny Fisher'. Was good !!

* Research going on okay. Hoping for some +ve results soon. The French class is a real life saver. Because of the class, I am up early and get to spend more time in the office than usual. Not to mention that the class is very interesting. Might take up the next course in Fall if the same teacher offers the class.

* Summer releases on the back burner. More interested in finishing the Blue-White-Red trilogy than Spidey/Shrek/POTC.

* Looking forward to the Memorial day weekend !!

I want one ...

Knut.

The latest German celebrity reminds me a LOT of Jingli. See Knut in action here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZLKb_5S21E









Now, can someone fund my trip to the Berlin zoo? ;)

Want more Knut? Knut's blog is here: http://blog.rbb-online.de/roller/knut/
Unfortunately, its in German :(
The pictures and videos are awesome though.

On a entirely different note, I finally managed to finish the very boring "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time". Now, 'll have to be doubly suspicious about books recommended by Ravi.

PS: Thanks a lot, S-S-Y!!

Not again !!

*Survivor Fiji spoilers *

This had to happen. I probably jinxed her. Why else will a very strong player like Michelle (in a reasonably "safe" alliance) get voted off, that too, immediately after I write a post supporting her? She certainly didn't deserve to go. Although the "twist" by itself was acceptable, Jeff's questions in the tribal council were totally unfair.

I just hope that my other favorites hang around a lot longer.

*Edit*

Btw, if you are mad about Michelle getting the boot, here's something to laugh about.

What did Boo tell Earl after he finds out about Michelle ?

Boo: Knock, Knock.
Earl: Who's there?
Boo: Boo
Earl: Boo who?
Boo: Don't cry !!!

PS: The joke is old but seemed appropriate here.

Survivor Fiji

Yes, I am following Survivor Fiji. It has started getting interesting only after re-shuffling of the teams (Ep#6). The last episode (Ep#8) was certainly the most entertaining this season, and it does look as if the real games are just about to start. However, I just discovered a new reason for me to follow the show and find out who gets the million bucks this time.

Minor spoiler(s) alert !!

My favorites were actually Yau-Man and Earl. But now, I have added one more to the list. Its Michelle. And its not just because she is smart and likable. I just found out that she is actually a student of UC studying in DAAP!!!

I never go through the contestants' profiles but when I was trying to watch that last episode online, I guess I clicked on Michelle's profile by mistake. And I was pleasantly surprised to learn that we both study at the same University. She has always been likable and in last episode, she did come out as "survivor-smart". Now, with some additional brownie points, she joins my favorites list (ahead of Earl and at par with Yau-Man).

Btw, if you are NOT watching the show, you probably should. It is bound to get a LOT more interesting, especially, if the other "immunity" idol gets discovered. And as I mentioned before in my Cook Islands post, you can still manage to watch all the episodes from cbs without any ads.
