quote uncoat

having a B grade emotional life can really rake in the moolah. take breakup babe, the latest blogspotter to win a book deal. she got whipped by all the men in her life and in turn she lashed out at them online. result: her blog gets a book deal from random. now this is one thing i have noticed, people who are in search mode in their private lives -- no google doesn't have a kickass solution for that -- write amazing poetry, alternate between bedroom eyes and soulful eyes and if they are lucky write a bridget jones diary that breaks all records. wanna get dumped? you might just get rich!!

jeez...sweet november or what

it shall come to pass....

i don't know what prompted me to ask for exorcist-the beginning... especially after i had taken tom hanks'ladykillers. but that's me and horror movies. i can't ever turn down any of them. no matter how silly or how trashy. like the last flick vaastu shastra which i chanced to catch on my cable. it had its moments but the end was a hodgepdoge of bodysnatchers meets the others meets sensational sush. ok, so now i am deviating. back to the beginning or rather the prequel to exorcist. i slid it into the player at 10.45 PM right after the 2nd instalment of ZMZ Temple of doom. at exactly 11.45Pm i decided to end my ordeal. first i got scared, then i got chilled, 45 mins through the film i was convinced i would never 1) take a trip to cairo 2)pick up objects from the ground 3) laugh if i see hyenas.
one thing that really rattles me is the psychobabble that they use to scare you, what should be standing pointing upwards will be pointing down, kids will get possessed, and priests will kiss women.
also not to forget, heads will spin furiously like tops. that is what did me in in exorcist I. it was the scariest most chilling moment i have ever encountered in my horror film fest to date.

Boo!!

just realised i know better ghost stories than ram gopal verma...and they are not lifted from hollywood! ram ram

great gatsbyesque

just finished great gatsby... Fitzgerald's classic had been lying with me for four years before i deigned to open it and then i couldn't put it down. it was superfast -- i like --a jaded look at how rich playboys come to ruin in a consumeristic society where people love you only so long as you can show them a good time. the moment you fall apart they fall behind.
the interesting part is that this book written in the aftermath of world war II depicts the very same sentiments that affect today's --what do they call themselves-- happening crowd.
same shit new day?

all new

learnt a new phrase today-- all mouth and no trousers. it translates into "Boastful and without just reason".
E.g."You shouldn't pay any attention to him, he's all mouth and no trousers."

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

i just know so many contenders for the above description

coincidences

life is quite crazy, the more you avoid something the more it will follow you. its like this: if you don't like someone you can be sure you will see him or her on your next visit to an obscure spot. of all the hours on the clock, this particular person will choose the same hour and the same spot to come to as you... now isn't that odd?
