Apple - Trailers - Thank You For Smoking
Incredible. This is a movie?! I hope to God it’s a satirical look at the tobacco industry. I actually want to see this.

Whoa! This got me moving! Two high energy music videos..
When I saw this VH1’s Web Junk, I couldn’t stop laughing forever. I went hunting for this clip and uploaded it on YouTube for the rest of the world to see.
I am justing posting the permalink rather than embedding the video so that it is less bandwith hungry when you hit my blog.

Cheers!
So, I spent all of today working on my 12 question take home midterm test in Topology. Thereby, I am completely wiped and devoid of free flowing thought. I only got 6-7 questions done. I don’t know what to do about this class. It tires me out. It would be worth it if I understood all of it. But I don’t. And then end up feeling stupid.
Apart from that, this weekend sped by. I bought an upgraded 1.5 Mbps line for $56 for the rest of the semester. So, I can download at will. Now, I can put movies, and music online whenever I feel like. We went dancing Saturday night, and that was fun. It was good to dance with Kiks and feel that arm tension 
. We even got a couple of cherry bombs in.
Okay, so I guess Friday was the best Friday ever! It was the single happiest Friday as far as I can remember. Practically unblemished. Why you ask? Because I called grad schools to get an update because I was sick of waiting. So, University of Maryland (UMD) and North Carolina State University (NCSU) have accepted me. They haven’t decided about the financial matters yet, but they were working on that. I am going to UMD’s open house on March 10 because I will be in the neighborhood. Stanford sent me an official rejection. I have no idea what else I could have done to get into that school. I have good grades, lots of research experience, diverse involvement, tons of leadership skills. Anyway, I suppose they could have had too many Indians this year. Or something else. Northwestern is making its final decision this week. I have a nagging feeling that I did not get in. Oh well! I still have to hear back from UPenn, Brown, and Vanderbilt. I’ll call them this week too. I am happy now. At least I know for sure, I am going some place.
And who knows, I may get to meet Jenn while in DC because she will be at University of Delaware for her open house. She wants me to go to her. We’ll see if that actually happens because Jessi is going to be with me and I don’t know if I can make it down there.. Although, it would be wonderful if I got to see her again.
Brain dead me is not a fun me. I can’t wait for Spring break!
I leave you with Extreme Yoyoing (YouTube).

Discover Honda’s amazing new Civic ad (UK). The two-minute performance begins with a 60 strong choir in a multi-storey car park about to embark on a musical piece. Garrison Keillor (the voice of Honda) breaks his silence with the line “This is what a Honda feels like”. As the composition begins, you realise that every sound the choir makes is an accurate representation of the sounds the car makes on it’s journey - everything from going through a tunnel, to driving over a gravel driveway, to the windscreen demisting on a frosty morning, to reversing down an urban street. The choir effectively sings the Honda Civic driving experience. (iTunes podcast description)
I loved this ad due to the commercial’s innovative creativism. It is an amazing acapella performance.

Meet Russell Peters. An Indian living in Canada. He is incredibly funny and has plenty of race based humor. You should absolutely watch it and tell me what you think. I laughed so hard that I cried and clutched my stomach as it started to spasm.

This is the Indian national anthem. I remember singing this every Saturday at school during the assembly. It would give me goose bumps and it still does. This 6 minute featurette showcases some of the greatest musical talents from India.
