... and kicking!

Ok,
I was wondering what movie I should watch today and suddenly drew a blank. Usually (and many others who know me can second this) whenever I meet you or call you, I was in the middle of something when I called/met up. Planning my MBA, planning a trip, writing an essay, preparing for a presentation, making a painting etc etc.
Now get this - after wondering for a substantial time and debate on ' What movie do I want to watch today '(in the very irritating windows 98 OS tour that once was. I know leelay would remember this. Microsoft was running some where do u want to go today?' campaign with their Windows 98 product. Like it was a very happy roadmap to a whole new dimension.

When you are in 10th grade, trust me, was either it was too hot outside (so I really am not interested in seeing vast white fields in any sort of campaign on the computer), or NFS had just been released, or someone had traded in a new floppy disc with two full pictures of Pamela Anderson.

Fact: I remember in school one guy was the proud owner of a 5 minute long porn movie in 3 floppy disks. One floppy to load the viewer, the two other had gritty pixelated looping GIFs. You should have seen the pride on his face. It was as if he had a nuclear warhead in his backyard) God bless miss Anderson for giving so many mediocre confused teenagers a big ego boost - if you had already seen her latest photo (not necessarily recently published - just recently available in the circuit due to the booming invasion of cheap floppies and phenomenally slow internet dial up connections), you were cool, if you were a proud owner of one - you were hep. This person from school was a god!). Anyway, I digress.

So I was thinking what movie I should watch - Al Pacino - ish / Robert De Niro -ish / Bruce willis -ish and I came up with Gene Hackman-ish. now dont get me wrong this guy is a splendid actor. But can there be any such thing as Gene Hackman -ish movie? I spent a few more minutes trying to fully comprehend what kind of movie I wanted to watch and then I was lost again.
I just realised tha my head is still not as clear as it should be - I thought I'd rather blog?
