The Importance of Nothing

For a past couple of days I have been doing nothing. Yes, nothing. Lets not get into the details.

So, how I do pass my time ? Listen to music and watch movies. Ha, awesome!

Symptoms of nothing-doing include - 4 hours of sleep (out of 24 hours), surfeiting food, umkempt hair, facial hair and zaftigism.

Talking about movies, I got a line-up of some really brilliant ones. Mostly movies which were on my to-watch list. The coveted list includes : Scent of a Woman, Garden State, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Mulholland Drive, Snatch, Annie Hall, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, The Killing, Matchstick Men, Fargo, Children of Men, After Hours and many more.

My hands, ears and eyes and quite busy watching these brilliant movies. And a mention to the randomness and eccentricity of Stanley Kubrick. Seriously, the opening scene (literally) of 'A Clockwork Orange' is quite, erm, bold so to say. Along with 'The Killing' and 'Full Metal Jacket', I've become a Kubrick fan!

Guy Ritchie also caught my attention. 'Lock Stock....' and 'Snatch' are again two great ensemble movies. Guy is almost the king of cunning plots, fast pace, quirky editing,ensemble casts and slick presentation. (Why Madonna, Guy ? Why?)

Oh yeah, even Scorsese, Martin Scorsese. Smoooooth.

Switch.

The headphones are also blaring the music of Eric Clapton, Mark Knofler, John Lee Hooker and BB King. These guys are what I call musicians, excellent musicians. They provide me with some solace after heavy doses of Trivium, Dark Tranquility, Children of Bodom, Kalmah and like.

Also got a copy of a AR Rahman's 'Vande Mataram' and 'Jana Gana Mana'. I guess there is no need to comment / blog about these albums. :s

Thus this is how I've been spending the last few days. Ah, bliss !

Current State of Mind : Private Investigations by Mark Knofler, ASCL, Graphics, Some Book Binding, M3, stiochiometric ratios. Geez, the mind is crowded today.
