Being Different

I watched the new Harry Potter movie last night, frankly, it was rubbish. Really. Not just in a "compared to the book" way, it was just boring - nothing really happened. There are TV Soaps with more tension & intensity.

We also attened the AGM for Round Table 7 & 172 (our table) this weekend - both of which were excellent. It's always good hanging out with Tablers, these are people that know how to party.

The Big Move (Part 1)

We've just finished moving into our apartment in Whitefield. This episode began at 8am on Thursday (9th Jul 09) with the whole family making a quick trip over to light a diya and to kick the process off with the first piece of luggage. The rest of the day went to heavy lifting (getting heavy furniture upto the 6th floor - not to mention past security who were an ordeal unto themselves). There's still plenty more to go. We've ordered the sofa, rugs, coffee tables, standing lamps, etc. are all yet to come. I'll probably rework the lighting in several places too. Important things like the Playstation, the broadband connection and my study are all in place though :-D I'll load some pics of the place shortly.

Not so cool

Transformers 2 was, well... kinda poor. The first half was at best interesting (far from riveting) and the second half was awful. It was full or enormous plot holes, mistakes and nonsensical Treasure-Hunter-esque sequences. Even the comedy elements felt forced and half hearted. On the whole it was a far cry from the original and reminded me more of that awful Cindy Crawford movie Fair Game.
