The lunch after the movie

I went to New Theatre to see Mummy 3: The curse of the… blah blah yesterday. That’s totally unimportant because the movie was that bad. The interesting thing is that I went with two girls (no guys. wha?!), and I had a chance to observe them, after the movie – over lunch, hopefully without them becoming any the wiser.

What I (so keenly) observed is this:

They’re a loving, affectionate bunch.

Not that two girls constitute a large enough sample for me to generalize something like that, but I suppose, since the above statement is a compliment, it won’t hurt to let it stand.

I also keenly noted that, unlike guys, they were almost impossible to read. While this might be attributed to my loser-ness w.r.t. girls, and the consequent inexperience, it’s almost fun to be with people who you can’t… predict (but that’s not the right word)! Unpredictableness is exciting!

On a completely different note, I finally got myself a proper sound card and a pair of entry-level audiophile class headphones. The headphones were initially a bit of a disappoinment, but I’ve grown to like the sound that it makes. There’s absolutely no resonance to the bass (and that aint always good), but mid-s, high-s, they’re all there. A case of quality over quantity, I suppose. I have to say one thing though; I can’t imagine headphones getting any more comfortable than these. It really is easy to forget that you’re wearing these gigantic things on your head. And the sound card – that’s just plain awesome; there’s no reason to get anything else, really.

And on a very sad note, my 8 month old WD 500gb HDD has passed away. Cause of death is the dreaded click of death. Probable cause for that is because I’ve been keeping it ouside the case, on top of a pile of books, while being crushed by two other hard-disks. However, I would like to state, in my defence, that its S.M.A.R.T. parameters, even on its death-day indicated a 100% perfectly operational disk.

That’s enough news for now. Been a long hiatus eh? ^_^ Ciao!

Edit: Updated Duttan’s blog link, and changed header image.

I have an idea. Why not change the header image every post?
