what’s on my desktop

this is a new tag from karmee. frankly i'm not quite sure if i'm doing this right, but it looks like it has something to do with one's desktop so here's hoping i won't mess it up too much.

my desktop? it's as boring as you can imagine (see below).

i guess i got too tired of changing wallpapers. i got over that stage pretty quickly (i must have changed wallpapers and themes on a daily basis for 2 weeks after my laptop arrived). finally i just let the whole thing go and settled on the same old boring Windows background (appropriately named "Bliss"). it seemed fitting somehow, considering the clutter of icons strewn up all over the screen.

some of the icons represent some downloads, Creative's ZVM tools, Limewire, etc. maybe one of these days i'll get tired of looking at the same junk and actually clean up the mess. but for now, that's all there is folks.

which reminds me, i'm supposed to pass the buck to somebody else so i call on venk_man, alia and pseudoshrink to shed some light on their desktop. c'mon guys, time to 'fess up.

i was able to watch Stardust last night, and bottomline, i think it's worth the wait. surprisingly the theater (G4) was almost full when i got in.

as expected, the film at some point veered away from the book. the filmmaker inserted a typical hollywood ending and actually squeezed a few things up (some parts were expanded, a few were deleted) to make the story more compact, and i guess to make it a bit more audience-friendly.

robert de niro's Capt. Shakespeare is a real hoot. for those of you who think of de niro as a real bad-ass… well, let's just say he will definitely rock your world in this picture heheh. even now i still smirk whenever i remember his antics. the 7 princes of Stormhold are out-of-this-world funny and michelle pfeiffer is great (although she really looks increasingly hideous as the movie goes on).
