For life is unworthy for cowards and rich for the brave
Ola, everyone!
Here's wishing you all had great Christmases and had a blast on the New year's. I hope this new year is filled with happiness for all of you.
Well, so my vacation is coming to an end. My flight to Goa is in 6 hours and as usual, the packing is last-minute. *sheepish grin* To tell the truth, my holidays were very boring and unproductive. But the biggest highlight was that I could get to talk to all of you. And I met quite a few of my RL friends, and I got to eat yummy food! (mostly from restaurants, 'coz my mom is a horrible cook)
Thos sem, I'll try to be more active on LJ, and hopefully my writing muse will also rise from hibernation. Poor thing apparently doesn't like cold winters and warm quilts, under which she's sleeping.
You guys helped me make myself a better person. This is thank you for everyone who has been with me through all those painful rants and stuff. And believe me, I was lurking on LJ as much as I could.
Now for the holidays. This time, I spent a lot of time eating and watching TV on my Computer. Completed all eight seasons of That 70's show. *grin* I really liked the whole growing up in the 70's concept. The Disco music, the clothes, everything seemed so authentic. I really liked the character of Kitty Forman, she was one cool mum.
Talking about that show, they had an episode which had a lot of purple prose in it. ROFL. "The princess tentatively touched the Duke's sword....." reminded of lots of discussions we'd had on these topics.
Another great watch was How I met your Mother. The show is hilarious, and Barney sent me into OMG! mode. That's quite a change from ye olde Doogie Howser.
Watched a lot of anime like Bleach, Furuba, Blood+ and Elfen Lied. The last one was a bit too gory for me, but the character portrayals, and showing the two sides of Lucy were done very well.That one will go down my favourites list.
And now, top 5 movies that I've seen....
1. Man from earth- It's brilliant. Like a dark one-act play, and brilliantly illustrates how a simple conversation can bring out the best and worst in people.
2. Memento- Chilling and brilliant. The whole ambiguous storyline and the indefinite conclusion makes it for me.
3. My Fair Lady- Sweet romantic old Rom-Com, and Audrey Hepburn's accent really threw me off. Great acting and lovely songs from another era.
4.Transamerica- Another unique story. Loved the father-son relationship. And Felicity Huffman really deserved an Oscar for this.
5. She's the man- Cute soccer movie. Darned cute.
And top 5 songs........
1. Hallowed be thy name- Cradle of Filth
2. Lazarus- Porcupine tree
3. Coming Back to life- Pink Floyd
4.Samskeyti- Sigur Ros
5. Bandey- Indian ocean
Mostly a huge rock list. hehe. So now it's back to BITS, and clwaning my room, staying up till2-3am to talk to friends. Back to sitting in my friends' rooms and bitching about the guys, and talking about the hot teacher's extremely "gropable" butt. *evil grin*.
I'll try and be backj online as soon as possible. *glomphugs to everyone*
