I'm putting my money on the male of the species for this one...

The following is an excerpt from the Goofs section of the IMDB's entry for Becoming Jane.
"Anachronisms: When Jane is in London, writing in her night gown, she turns suddenly and you can see the outline of a thong (underwear) as she walks away from the camera."

I have a shrewd suspicion that only a guy would notice such a thing... call me biased...

(Loved the movie, am going to go watch it again tomorrow)

Pride in my compatriot's wit!

'I once complained to an Indian ticket inspector that I had paid a surcharge to travel on a super-fast train, which was not very fast. He corrected me saying, "It is a super-fast train, it's only going slowly."'

:-) That's an excerpt from the following article on the beeb:

Here's hoping that the bureaucracy figures out a way to share the pie with those below the poverty line!!

Paul Van Dyk - My World

So, to continue to expound about an old muse of mine, I've always wondered what made music "talk" to a person. I've been listening to some of Paul Van Dyk's songs that are purely instrument based with no human voices in the songs and they fill me with an elation that I can't accurately canvas with words. It is a sense of optimism and an excitement for the future!

To extend that thought, people see different things in human beings based on the tint of the filter through which they perceive everything in this world. I sometimes completely understand the obsession with Maya that some philosophers have. Because I really believe that every perception is biased and coloured by our experiences and expectations. I really doubt that any absolutely objective point of view exists. Everything is relative.

I don't have the courage to say what I want to say in this medium. I'm very shady about some things. But, nobody is reading this anyways, so what the heck does it matter, eh? I'm an existential coward, even in this anonymous medium. My views probably appear moronic to an outsider, especially as the views of someone about to embark on a thesis based on quantum mechanics and nuclear interactions, but I am who I am and I can't change that.

In my last post I mentioned someone impeding my ascension. The impediment has been done away with, and I am excited about the new challenge that I am facing. This coming semester is going to be AWESOME!!!!
