Humiliated, Angry, Ashamed, Brown.

June 30th, 2005

I feel for this guy. I know I’ve dealt with stuff like this and it sucks.

Sometimes people need to be reminded that 9/11 happened in my country too. Last time I checked, not all brown people with cameras are trying to terrorize anyone.

Humiliated, Angry, Ashamed, Brown.

Batman Begins

June 30th, 2005

…was awesome. Probably one of the better movies I’ve seen in a while. Although, I may be a bit biased since I used to read the comics, watch the original TV series and the newer cartoon series.

If you were a super villian, would you have minions or henchmen?

Seat Complaint

June 29th, 2005

Ever get a bad airline seat? Heh… this guy did: Seat Complaint

Incidentally, I always manage to get an exit row… don’t ask me how, I just do. I love it. All the room in the world… and when the plane crashes, I get to save the day.

That reminds me- my birthday is coming up, one of you people should buy me a cape. :)

Easy there, Tommy boy…

CNN.com - Cruise, Lauer argue on ’Today’ - Jun 24, 2005

What’s up with Tom these days? I saw the interview and I’m not sure why he got so defensive all of a sudden?

And since I’m ranting anyways- this is going to be his 3rd marriage. What makes this one so different from the first two?

I ain’t preaching or anything- I’m just saying… he doesn’t have a good track record with marriage up until this point. What makes Katie think that he’s in for the long run now?

Here’s a collection of rare Bollywood LP cover art from the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s.

Wow. Just wow. I can’t believe people actually paid for this stuff!

What’s up Bernie?

June 22nd, 2005

Bernie Ecclestone, the head of Formula 1, made a comment to reporters the other day about Danica Patrick, the female driver who happened to place 4th in this year’s Indy 500 and led for a number of laps. He said women should be dressed in white like other domestic appliances. Patrick, revealed that Ecclestone also called her and told her this personally. I suppose if there is anything positive to be said it’s that he said to her face (or on the phone) what he said to others, however, by every other conceivable measure, Bernie Ecclestone is retarded.

Like the greater number of women who are involved in all forms of motorsports, she is a welcome addition. Bernie, what are you thinking?

I might add, that after last weekend’s fiasco of the Formula 1 race at Indy, where most of the drivers sat out the race in a tire protest, Bernie should be tending to his own business.

Also… why didn’t this get more coverage in the news?

Anyone else love Chipotle as much as I do?

If so, you need to check this out: Chipotle Special for today, June 21

Even if you don’t like their food, you need to go buy a burrito and give me the receipt. :)

Want some Starbucks?

June 20th, 2005

Yep- folks, it’s time for contest #2…. finally.

Tell me who this cup belonged to… and I will buy you some Starbucks.

As usual- put your answers in the comments…

DAMMIT: This was the shortest contest ever. Looks like I’m taking Kavita to Starbucks… holler. :)

A sad day for F1

June 19th, 2005

I’m speechless.

Personally, I applaud Michelin for doing what they could to convince the FIA. And the FIA? WTF. What were they thinking today?

For all of you that don’t follow F1 news… here’s the recap courtesy of ITV-F1:

Ralf Schumacher’s Michelin tyre faillure and subsequent heavy crash in Friday’s second practice session set in motion a chain of events that will have major repercussions for F1’s future, particularly in the US.

Michelin informed its teams that, due to a flaw in the sidewall construction, its tyres could not be safely used in the race.

A plan to deliver an alternative tyre design to Indianapolis was shelved when the FIA indicated that penalties awaited any teams who changed tyres after qualifying.

Instead Michelin asked for a chicane to be added at the flat-out, banked turn 13, the critical corner for tyre wear.

The tyre company said that if a chicane was not provided, its cars simply would not race.

The FIA retorted that as the tyre problem was Michelin’s own fault, the governing body could not be expected to alter the circuit to resolve the crisis – especially as Bridgestone had brought perfectly suitable tyres.

Stalemate resulted, and despite a series of meetings involving the team principals, circuit officials, the FIA, and Bernie Ecclestone, no resolution was reached.

The Michelin teams duly carried out their boycott threat, and just six cars lined up before the horrified spectators in Indianapolis’ vast grandstands.

Congratulations

to my parents… their 27th wedding anniversary is today.

The other day, my dad asked me what I was planning to do for his anniversary… I looked at my hands and noticed no wedding rings, so I said, “Do I look like your wife?” Hehehe….

They bought each other some bling… well, honestly, I think my mom used dad’s money to buy his and her own anniversary present. :)
