A clip from the Daily Show

I saw this on TV a while ago, and I meant to put this up....



Aasif Mandvi weighs the situation and does a desi shoutout anyway on a Daily Show segment about the new immigration bill.

Stewart: You yourself were not born here, you were…

Mandvi: Brown? … But I’m from India. I’m tech support / cardiologist brown…

Audience: [Cheers…]

Mandvi: Shout out. Not dishwasher / parking attendant brown. And I say that with no disrespect…

Stewart: What is the [immigration bill’s] point system trying to accomplish? …

Mandvi: Assigning a point value will keep us from becoming a safety country. This is America, Jon, not Wesleyan… American has rebranded its immigration policy.

Stewart: And the new slogan is?

Mandvi: ‘What can brown do for you?’

God of War II

Well the sequel to the best game I have ever played (or maybe second best after Resident Evil 4, its SO hard to decide) was finally released this month. Good thing I have a free game rental every month with Blockbuster online! I have only started to play this game, and I don't see many differences yet from the previous game in terms of gameplay and moves, but who cares! GoW was so much fun that I am happy to just play some more.



And I know there's more stuff coming... I have yet to unlock any of the new weapons and I am anxious to see how they'll act out in combat. Plus its just so much fun using the default weapons... and you start off with full expert proficiency with these basic weapons (athena's blades) that were the final/best weapons in GoW. Anyway, more later on how the game panned out.




So far, as quoted by Rolling Stones in Supersize Me, "I'm loving it..."

300

I saw this movie at 1030 am on the day it came out since I happened to be post call. I have to say, it was well worth the wait the past few months. It's probably the best visual and action film I have seen in a while. It was a pleasure watching almot every fight scence in a surreal, comic book style.



One example of the rich depth offered by the characters is King Xerxes as shown above in his well decorated ambisexual manner. The scenes from the movie were abosultely breathtaking.



The action sequences left nothing to disappoint. You see 300 Spartans fight to the death in all their glory against countless enemies. In fact, after watching this movie, I had to rent the old version "300 Spartans". It obviously lacked the refined polish and the technological prowess of 300, but it was a surpisingly good movie, with enough of a plot difference to make it an interesting movie to watch despite having seen the new one.

double rainbow!

right outside my window! I had to take a pic.

Paxilback - Gray Kid parody of Justin Timberlake's Sexyback

Are YOU bringing Paxil back? I LOVE this parody, Ashley hates it though. LOL.

Smart Online Radio Stations

Musicovery.com is a cool site that will let you listen to a variety of music that fits your mood and specific other criteria like genre and years. You can actually select songs, as opposed to Pandora (another excellent music radio service that plays music according to your favorite artist's style) where you can't pick the songs, they're random. Though you can stop listening to the current song if you don't like it.

Cool Online Image Editors

I found these two useful sites for editing pictures online should you be stuck with just ms paint on a computer. Pixenate and webbild.com. I prefer webbild.com, works more smoothly. I edited the screenshots (cropping) with the respective sites.

Great spoof of Blunt's "You're Beautiful"

Hahaha.. this made me laugh, especially the end.

Awesome clip - trick pong ball

On Call Thursday

Yes, I am on call again. But at least I have a medical student on call with me. It's been quiet so far, I am just willfully ignoring any productive work I could be doing. Instead I am playing on the computer. I guess I will do some reading soon - "Ghosts in the Nursery" article. I have only skimmed it so far. On a happy note, I have finally finished season 5 of Smallville and am now on the 3rd episode of season 6. I think there are only 9 episodes released so far. I have a presentation to give on Wednesday, so I will have to prepare for that this weekend. I also have fours dictations (ugh) to do which I can hopefully do tomorrow, or maybe Monday. Other than that, I have some shopping, cleaning, and a lot of running to do this weekend. I will try to go downtown and help out with a canal cleaning project on Saturday. I also need to start studying for Step 3, as I will be taking it in March (now that I finally fixed dates).
Hmm, after listing all the things I need to do, procrastinating (or napping) sounds good right about now too....
