The album's inside cover features a photographic reference to the cover of The Who's Odds and Sods. In addition to this, Stadium Arcadium is also available in a limited-edition black box that includes the 28-song, two-CD set, plus a DVD with the "Dani California" video and behind-the-scenes "making of the video" footage; a one-hour band interview; ( Read more... ) -
> happiness
Neal Stephenson in Cryptonomicon, talks about fuck-you money. He says,
It was not a fixed constant, however, but rather a cell in a spreadsheet linked to any number of continually fluctuating economic indicators.

- friend variables

play
Finally caught five point someone, the play, by madras players. The play itself was pretty good. The crowd, even better. Highly recommended. Catch it if it ever plays in your city. -

Its been a long long time since I had an all-nighter with a book. Thanks to Alan Moore's From Hell, yesterday was such a night. Starting to read Neal Stephenson's Quicksilver right now. Can't wait to finish it tonight. Will probably skip work tomorrow.

On Art
What is life without art? A man can live without food or water. But not without art. It will eat him away. Like the T-Rex did to the artless ones in Jurassic Park. Ever notice that the worst actors get eaten and eaten as the first meal for the dinosaurs. If you noticed that, you probably are one of them.

Damn
I was looking forward to visit Bangalore for a long time since I moved to Chennai in July. And FOSS was the perfect excuse.
