About Freakkin time too eh ?

I’ve had it on Facebook for a while. But I’ve started to use Flickr as my Main Online Photo Album now, so I’m still in the process of slowly getting some of my Pictures onto it.

But here they are finally. My Pics from my Coorg Trip 2008.

Coorg Day One :

Coorg Day Two :

By “The Postal Service“, its called “Against All Odds“.

Yes I know, its incredibly cheesy (the video’s even cheesier) but its a nice new spin on an old favourite song.

Ah my Last Fm is going to be full of this now lol.

Today MTV released a new promo in honor of MJ’s legacy, for the upcoming Video Music Awards :

It’s a very subtle, quite fitting tribute. Well done Mtv. I cant wait to check out Janet Jackson’s tribute performance at the VMAs. Its the only one that counts really.

Remember those awesome short films on BMW cars that was released back in 2002 ?

Yeah I loved those videos too.

Here’s a video showing off how they did some of the stunts.

The Making of BMW Films from Bulent Keles on Vimeo.

Damn I want a BMW. I also want normal roads, and not the pothole-ridden roads here in Udupi/Manipal.

Eeesh.

Take today for instance. There I was, fast asleep at 5:30am, dreaming of driving a Mustang down the Autobahn, when suddenly BAMP! my day starts.

My dog jumps on my bed and barks her little tail off trying to wake me up. I wake up at first going “WTF?” and then realizing my fan is spinning at about three times the speed it normally does. Then I see Sparks fly out of my Modem and several plug points in my room.

My brain switches to emergency mode and i run all around my room switching everything off.

But ofcourse, it was too late. My Modem was fried, my Computer UPS was fried, a plug point extension was screwed, and worst of all, WORST OF ALL, my precious Creative 5.1 speakers were fried. Sigh.

I mean they werent the best speakers in the world, but dammit they survived 5 years with me here in India and now they dont work.

Gah.

So apparently my neighbour’s tree fell on the bunch of wires between two electric poles, and that send a nice solid jolt of current to my house which was the thing that destroyed everything.

Freakkin neighbours. They’re nice people though, and they’ve really helped me out a ton of times. But still, dammit people, keep your trees from falling on electric wires !

The worst part about today was not just the unusual and frightening start to it, but the fact that I spent the whole day waiting. Waiting for people to come fix things so I can get on my way to resuming my regular routine. Eessh.

Called up Airtel Broadband for a new modem at 9am. They got a new one in at 1pm.

Called up my local Computer shop for a new UPS at 9:30am. They got a new one in at 4pm.

Gah.

At this rate, I’ll never save up any money at all.

I’m in a very bad mood now. One that’s being increasingly worse because of the stupidity of people around me.

I so need to move.

Yesterday was a Fun, Interesting day. One of my bestest pal’s Yashaswi was getting Engaged and she was pretty sure I’d totally forget about the event

But HA ! I didnt. I made it there right on time lol. Managed to take a couple pictures too. I wasnt sure what was/wasnt allowed and I didnt want to offend anyone by standing up and taking pictures randomly lol. Can you tell this was my first Indian Engagement that I attended ? Hehe.
