Pirate Latitudes – the last book ever to be published under the name Michael Crichton. It was released posthumously and I was super-excited for another M.C. book. His science fictions are truly amazing.
This last book, failed in all points. I had expected a lot out of this book and I was entirely disappointed. I’m sure veryone who’s read just
one other MC book will agree, that this was just plain
It started out quite boring, and didn’t really hook me in. The plot wasn’t good, and well, the sequence of events were poor. I mean, to attack a fort is one thing, to survive against the kraken is a whole new thing. It lacked all the science and suspense of MC’s general style. His style incorporates intense research into the subject which Pirate Latitude evidently lacks. All the statements seemed just there as words, not really forming a picture in my head. The words never gave me sense of believing the story. A lot of the dialogue was cheesy, like some sort of movie.The length was very short, unlike his usual long, content-loaded books.
In fact, Pirates Of The Caribbean, was amazing compared to this.
I’d rate it 2/5.
I just hope that it had been some draft of some sort that he was working on.

This is what I found in my inbox, today. I have to tell you, it’s the best spam I ever got. Are there any spam-awards I can nominate this for?
I mean “Do you desire dark power? Say yes/no” ?! Omg, that gets me every time! I want this person for a (close,personal) friend,I really do! Assuming it’s a person, that is. O_o

This (on 15th Jan) was supposed to be the longest annular solar eclipse for the millennium. It was phenomenal. There’s nothing quite like looking at it.
I happened to get one of those glasses that help you look at the sun and I was perched on the terrace, gazing upward at the sun. Unlike what they showed on the TV, the moon didn’t really move so fast. It was so slow that the movement wasn’t really perceptible. Well here in Chennai it wasn’t a total annular eclipse, it was more like a really tiny crisp crescent of light. But that was enough to keep the day bright and normal-like. Well, as normal as it could get for an eclipse day (I just learnt that there are so many superstitions circling eclipses. Like you shouldn’t eat during an eclipse and that you should take a bath once the eclipse is over.)
Anyway, here’s a picture from my grandparents’ place where they experienced a total annular eclipse. It shows the sun(and moon) throwing the shadows on their house.

Besides that, currently, my life revolves around sitting with books. Blame it on the forthcoming semester exams. But I also read Atonement during these study hols. Waaaay frikkin’ brilliant book. *Loves it*

..That was nearly a month ago.
However, I find that our page views are going the way of my ‘artblog‘ (which I have shamelessly taken the liberty of plugging once again (=hint!) even though I haven’t updated it in about a year..), so here are some pictures from Mysore and Kabini (?), where I vacationed. I can tell you, they’re pretty easy on the eyes! It was fun trip.While it lasted.Now I’m back to college ( Imagine lots of whining and complaints. Or look back at anything we wrote from Aug-Dec ‘09).
(I’m making it easy for you to just skip the pics and comment on how lovely they are. But if you actually care to see them, check them out below: )

Well, I’ve always loved looking at the zillion ‘Happy New Year’ cards we get. Their designs are so awesome(Most of them, anyway.) But I do feel, it’s a waste of paper. It’s just another card that’s been sorted through in the post office.
Anyway, that made me decide to create one. On Photoshop.
And so, Happy New Year to Lucid and BWC (who is currently somewhere near Mysore.)

We had a really horrdid time in EG last week. He spent the entire 2 hours yeling at 2 girls. In the meantime, this is what was forming in my head:
(To the Tune of Mistle Toe and Wine.)
Sleepy Time,
Give a bed an’ I’m fine.
Dreams start weavin’ in my mind.
With colours and spaces,
And dragons and faces,
A time to disappear from all things real.
A time for stories, and crackling fire,
A time when you can play the lyre.
Loose ends to tie up, a happy ending,
All ours in the making, just follow your dream.
UPDATE: The Snowflakes on WP is back! W00t!

Picture this: About 3 hours to study (for the test) and we sit under a tree, overlooking a mini lawn, the sun’s rays pleasantly falling on the ground through the (very)light canopy, and earphones plugged into our ears. Almost perfect, right?
Not if you happen to be in our college. Half-an-hour of pleasant studying, we are interrupted by a screech. A monkey. And following it are about a dozen more. *Ack! Jumps back 2 feet, clutching my iPod and notebooks.* The monkey doesn’t seem to do anything. We lug all the bags from under that tree and onto the lawn. That’s when this big blob of murky black leaps. *Eeew. A frog!* We couldn’t sit on the lawn either.
So we trudged off to the biotech block. Sitting outside, we resume our intellectual pursuits. That’s when a few dogs come silently and sit here and there, in silence. A minute later, as if they were part of some special mission, about 10 dogs bound for the tree and fight with the monkeys. The dogs try to bite the monkeys who’re throwing fruits(from the tree) on the dogs. Barks and screeches later, the monkeys were seen jumping on another tree(quite far off form us, thank you.) They disturb these 2 crows; so ensues another battle, between the monkeys and the crows.
That was that and we were off to make more sense of E.G. And yeah, an eco-friendly campus is where we study. Sure.
P.S.: Possession by A.S. Byatt is awesome. Go, read, NOW.

Hihi! I’m ba…ck! So. My creativity is just about dead and for the last month or so, I’ve been opening the new post page and then shutting it without wring anything(obviously). You can blame college (which absolutely Sucks by the way, but I won’t go into that or it will take up an entire post and the 3 readers that we have might decide never to come back). But, today I decided that I will post, no matter what and I went on over to mindbump.com and got this bump, that I really liked!
“Describe somethings seemingly unimportant or ridiculous that make you happy.”
Alright then, here’s a list of absolutely ridiculous things that make me happy;
- When two characters that I like in a book, movie or a TV show get together: Yup. Crazy and irrational. That’s me. BWC can certify this.
- Watching Friends: Even on mute! Friends will always, always cheer me up after a crappy day at college or whatever.
- Dancing around madly to a song I love!
- Washing my hair.
- Singing at lunch and in class.
- Getting up late on a Saturday.
- Chocolate or Chocolate Cake or anything covered in Chocolate.
- Shopping! ( I can’t believe I almost forgot that one!)
- The Rain
- Finding out that there’s no college because of rain!
- Sitting on the beach and talking with my friends!
- Going to Barista! Also; convincing my friends to go to Barista!
- Finishing a really good book.
- Having nothing to do all day.
- Getting a comment on the blog! ;)
- Coming home after college : I’m really glad that no matter how sucky my day gets at college, I get to come home in the evening.
- Planning birthday surprise things (Even if certain people ruin them by figuring out stuff in advance *glares at Adzzie*)
- Remembering school. ( Yeah, I sound like I’m 80, I know.)
- Finishing a crossword puzzle.
That’s it for now. I could go on but you guys might die or something. In other news, I got an iPhone! I am so in love with it. Also; Tap Tap Revenge! My new obsession ever since I discovered it. Its one of the very few games that I don’t completely suck at. That’s it for now. Later my people! I will try to post fairly regularly from now on, even if it is just rants or something!
Byebye!
OMG, I missed this!!
Just a note;

So, we went for the movie today. The main reason being : Adam Lambert’s ‘Time For Miracles‘ song (TfM). This song is just brilliant living up to a Glambert fan! You can hear the power in Adam’s voice and this reminded me of his ‘Mad World’ on Idol.
So enough on Adam Lambert’s awesomosity. We lasted the entire 2 hours and 40 minutes, just for ‘THE SONG’ to play.
The movie wasn’t all that amazing. The first half of the movie was just execrable. It started in India (It jus had to) with rain lashing on the windshield of the car. (Coincidentally, the drive to the theatre was pretty much the same, maybe not that much rain) So the years skip by at an alarming rate, bringing us to 2012. And then, *drum roll* title appears! (I was hoping the sound of ‘TfM’ would play. No such luck) There were tons of moments which reminded me of ‘Day After Tomorrow’ The much-hyped about visual effects weren’t really evident in the first half of the movie, but in the later half, it was much better. (Thankfully) It was quite good by the end. The script was pure rubbish(cheesy and ridiculous too) , unable to live up to the visual fx. The movie obviously plays on our expectations of such a genre, and you end up laughing at the stupidity to be found. (Like who will not realize something major is going wrong when there’re disaster all over the world.)
On the actors, I felt the guy who acted as Mr. President (Danny Glover) was a bit of a joke. His acting was poor. And Jackson(a.k.a Daddy, the main guy who will survive) played by John Cusack wasn’t any better. But Woody Harlesson as DJ Charlie was good. He played a hippie-lunatic who wears ponchos who also created this comical(extremely) video on the apocalypse. That was hilarious!
Besides this, there isn’t much to the movie. It’s a good time pass when you want to have a good laugh, yet enjoying the visuals once in a while. I wonder what Roland Emmerich was thinking when he approved of the script. I mean, it could’ve been a zillion times better.
MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT: When I found out about Lambert singing the soundtrack for this, I was super-excited. I expected it to come up when someone said something about ‘miracles.’ But instead, it comes out during the credits when the cinema people decide to turn down the volume.
Here’s something I found on the web
The last 40 minutes test your patience — and intelligence — in a way the rest of this big, dumb, crazy movie never does.
That is very true. So is it worth watching? Despite the lousy script, it is, just to have a good laugh.
