Dream Diary: Entry 1
Last night, I had this pretty weird dream. But somehow, I’m rather glad about it.
The dream was set in high school, but all my classmates were people whom I have met college. There is an announcement that if we want to continue school, we would have to shave our heads. I don’t know why, but I had the feeling that the school was selling our hair to raise money...

'The Time Machine' is a false alarm?
H.G. Wells’ The Time Machine is often cited by communists in their argument against my pro-capitalism attitude. What if such a thing happens? Do we want our society to go to ruins like that? The working class, after millenniums of depravity, would have become monsters! And the high-income group, after all that mindless luxury, would have become meek and “dull”, and then the...

I thought you might like to have a look at this...
Steve Jobs’ resume at Apple. These days they won’t even take a second look at one that has a ‘seemingly immature’ e-mail ID. pah! What good is that without a little bit of that ‘vision thing’ anyway? ;)
Highlight: “Left in 1986 to decide which step to take NeXT.”

Get BIG! :D
I just watched: Big (1988)
Genre: Coming-of-age comedy! WHY don’t they movies like that anymore? These days coming-of-age movies are all about angst and rebelling and ‘finding yourself’. What about movies for people like me, who think growing up is fun! :) Anywhoo. Now I think 13-going-30 was a ripoff, though it was hardly as good as this one!
Reasons to watch and absolutely...

RomComs like they ought to be
What did I watch: Down with Love
Released in: 2003
Genre (like it is): RomCom (!!)
Why I liked it: It is set in New York City. It is ACTUALLY funny in places. It’s set in the 1960s and got a lot of things right about the age- fashion, radical feminism and the burgeoning openness about sexuality, political scenario of the times. The wardrobe is SO good, I would recommend fashion...

Yes, so that’s the movie I JUST saw. First off, I loved it. It is this story about these young New Yorkers, all of who are just trying to figure out how to live, as adulthood confronts them while still holding on to the dream of the living their dreams. And that’s what I loved about the movie. It doesn’t talk about resigning to fate and going for the second-best instead of...

The bombshell testimony from Stephen Anderson is the first public account of the twisted culture behind the false arrests in the Brooklyn South and Queens narc squads, which led to the arrests of eight cops and a massive shakeup.
Anderson, testifying under a cooperation agreement with prosecutors, was busted for planting cocaine, a practice known as “flaking,” on four men in a Queens bar in...

Ayn Rand got it right?
In the book- Atlas Shrugged, Francis D’Anconia is described as the ‘Climax of the D’Anconias’. I have been reading a couple of theories and a few opinions about genius, and there is one I came across, that combined the theories proposed by Arthur Schopenhauer and Karl Abraham that genius, with the assumption of Francis D’Anconia being one, doesn’t beget genius;...
