The closing ceremony was such a fail !
I’m halfway through, and I just have to say this. Frank Miller is GOD !
Our Dark Knight returns from retirement. He’s old and rusty, pissed and confronted. And the book is as Dark as before. Two face, and Joker return, along with new enemies.. the mutants.
You can read more about this on the wiki page here. Highly recommended.
Today, I went ahead and unsubscribed to more than half of my Feeds on Google Reader.
Prioritization on unscubscribtion had to do with these:
- No full feed (big big reason)
- No regular updates (my feed might get unsubscribed to for this reason)
- Too many updates (low quality ones mostly)
- Boring feeds (that I subscribed, because of one or two good posts)
I’m hoping my friends would share anything they find interesting. It’s better than subscribing to everything !
You might have seen this happen. It’s usually just around midnight, and the ‘keepers of the law’ have just ended their shift, and want to go home in peace.
They soon realize, their means of transportation are the same people who, just few hours ago, were stopped, questioned, and maybe even got bribed by.
I see them stranded on the roads, asking for a lift. They’re mere people now, and them asking for a favor from the people they were trying to teach the law to, makes me feel slightly bad.
The govt. should provide vehicles for officials who work at late/early hours.
The book has generated lots of buzz. Read the first chapter, and to be frank it’s not that engrossing. I’ll let you know if it lives up to the expectations.
this weekend, to meet friends !
(hmm, could have fit that in twitter)
Lots of things. Too long a list to type here.
Just to give a taste of the list, here are a few things on the top of my head…

* graphic designs * portraits photography * badminton raquet * money
* reading material * time * halo * movies * cycling * waking up early
Xenocide, by Orson Scott Card.
This is the third part in the Ender’s Series (after Enders Game and Speaker for the Dead ). Very good sci-fi/fantasy series.
The book is also currently acting as a stand for an external hard disk.
Not many people know about this, but I do have a pet. It’s a rock. Pet rock.
Here is what it looks like (it likes it’s ergonomic/acupressure pedestal (also a cube puzzle) :
some upsides to having a pet rock
- does not pee/shit
- does not need to be fed
- can leave it home when you go to vacations
- excellent listener
- good adviser
- can look exactly how you want it to
- is not racist
- is not lazy
- always available
- very dependent
- can act as a paper weight

Some interesting things you probably *did not* know about my pet rock

- If anyone ever abducts/kidnaps it, I will pay money to get it back

And before you ask, it does not have a name! Who names rocks?
