Hide & Seek

Just finished Hide and Seek. Dakota Fanning. Brilliant acting. Didn't know who she was. Googled her. Found out this wasn't her first role. She'd been a pro when she did this. Nevertheless, brilliant acting and great twist in the end. Couldn't predict the end this time. Here's a poster of the movie:

Anyway, watching such a thriller has to be balanced with something. And what better way than to listen to good music on our trusty ole radio station:

Ah! One thinks of faraway meadows and Venetian canals when one listens to this radio station.... Bellisimo! Tres Magnifique! 

between sleep and wakefulness

this is where i want to exist. right here. in this escapist reality. between the throes of sleep and wakefulness. the mind tires. exhausted. sleep now, it says. but the body labors on. tries to find peace in something. closure in something. the dessert after the full meal. the obligatory post-coital cigarette. what is the equivalent in real life of these? is there ever any closure? or is this just what dreams are made of. pray tell me. o please. enlighten me. release me from this chakravyuha.

Pointlessness....

So, today is just one of those days. I don't feel like working. And I declined to go to Nerd Nite, though a colleague was really keen on going. And then, there's a book, waiting to be read. Nothing quite interesting, just your usual Michael Crichton novel, its called Nano or Micro or something. It invites me to bed. With a come hither look. But I don't feel drawn enough to jump into bed with it. Maybe later, by way of a sympathy read. And the left eye is twitching. Which in my culture means bad luck. And I'm superstitious about these things. And there were 2 visitors to my blog today (Yay!!). Both from my own office (yes, I can track that). Interesting times. Wonder who would've read the blog today and said. Oh! So this guy is actually nuts. Its not a facade after all. They've changed the liquid hand wash in the bathroom and it smells icky. Now I'll have to go and wash my hands with soap. Life, I'm telling you, is fraught with struggle....
