Yup, that's totally the song. I just recently got a copy of that movie (hum dil de chuke sanam) on DVD from a buddy of mine.

Your cousin did choreography in that movie? That's insane. That movie is (or at least WAS) a pretty big deal not only in India but here as well. Also, it features the ever lovely Aishwarya Rai, who is notable if only for having once been voted as the most attractive woman in the world.

holy awesome Batman!

space nerds, check this out!


it's the Hubble search for the big bang

I'm not normally a guy who pays attention to NASCAR (apart from, say, commenting on their penchant for left turns), but there was a race this weekend that was, strangely, interesting. The reason? It took place at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal. That is, it was on an F1 track. A track that has right turns!

I can't link to it, but there's a video there of the final laps in Montreal which includes some great shots of flames coming out the wheel-wells as they try to slow down for the tight turns on the track.

I don't imagine this is going to be a regular occurrence.

Hey, Tay, was this the Hindi song you guys were on about a few years back?

I think it would have to rely on the tree for support to qualify.

so, uh, would you call this a tree house?

I also felt the need to not get soaking wet for the day. hope it was a blast. though if anyone is up for something tonight........ I could easily be persuaded into some sort of festivity....

And I may have access to another folk fest ticket if anyone is interested. it is for the entire 4 days. though it is transferable. share it with friends and so on.

best of luck everyone at the semi-soggy fest.

I'm a little festivalled out right now, so.. yeah... I'm taking a (mind the pun) rain check. though it'll probably pour at the folk fest anyway... meh.

NOTICE:

Sorry friends of friends no Spain pavillion this year! We'll meet in front of the Caribbean pavillion instead.

Things I've learned working on a site that needs a French translation of its content:

• The French term for "link" is "lien." There's something I like about that. Seems fitting.


• There are way more apostrophes used in French than in English. Thank sed for find-and-replace.
