so it has been some time since the last entry which happens to be on my birthday! i mean quite a lot of stuff have happened - in work, not so much in my life, haha how sad is this. the much dreaded e-tep has come and gone - it wasnt THAT bad, quite an experience in some random weird sick way; and the much dreaded involvement in the parade today has also come and gone. i still dont get why parades are necessary anyway, i mean no one (nsf at least) really likes being involved anyway, they involve a huge amount of manpower and given how they are almost the same time after time, lose their novelty. once you have watched one. and the long rehearsals and dirty uniform! ok maybe i am no officer, so i cant see the rationale; but i am sure there is one, at least i hope that there still is. so i am a little incapable of seeing things the military way. and no one really looks at you in a parade anyway. it's like you're there as some kind of pretty backdrop (or maybe not if you're ugly), filling up the numbers.

so right, the blog set up by navjote for himself, ajit, imran, suhas and myself has been revived, so i thought i should just do my part in promoting it. it's quite irreverently funny and random so yea: http://no-matches-found.blogspot.com/

watched 2 movies in the past couple of weeks - harold and kumar: escape from guantanamo bay; and over her dead body. both comedies - the first was somewhat political and funny so i quite like it. it was somewhat exaggerated yes, and the romantic plot they tried to weave into the movie was somewhat predictable and cliche, but overall it was alright. over her dead body was an average movie that is reminiscent of channel 5's maggi and me. hot ghost who roams earth because she needs to accomplish some task but is visible only to one human being. eva longoria was adopting her desperate housewives persona, so there wasnt much breakthrough in her acting. jason biggs was easily the best actor in the movie, with his great comic timing - perhaps, his time with american pie served him well. script was so-so and i thought they should have showed more of eva longoria's character both emotionally and physically. it was in general an ok movie as well.

on another note, i, out of pure randomness, watched my finals debate video the other day. and read old entries on this blog. (yea call it nostalgia) and i was really quite bad. how depressing. maybe it's with maturation over time, or maybe it's cos i have judged more debates, i have begun to see more clearly what is expected of me as a debater - i think. perhaps they're right when they say what really matters at the end of the day is your confidence. haha. it had served me well then. haha. thank goodness i didnt go flip through my old photos or i would have gone into depression. haha.

o wells, i have finally passed the 200 day mark to my ord! wow.
