Monday Personal Notes
8 comments- Last week was very productive at the office. I even got in about five or six hours of relaxing, creative design work yesterday afternoon (Sunday).
- Some songs I have been digging, in no particular order... Kaal - Tauba Tauba, Chris Brown - Yo (Excuse Me Miss), Cat Power - The Moon, Mattafix - Big City Life, Parineeta - Piyu Bole and Avril Lavigne - Knockin' on Heaven's Door.
- BOLLYWOOD movie reviews... Parineeta was GREAT. Probably my second or third favorite movie after Bombay, Swades and Pardes. You've got to check out the song Piyu Bole from Parineeta - you can download it from my website. Kaisi Paheli Zindagaani was also a great song from this movie. Indians write great movies - I am hooked.
- I also rented two other BOLLYWOOD movies - actually, one of them was in Telegu (at Rama's suggestion) and I watched my first Tollywood movie. It was interesting - now I know what people from Hydrabad look like. (Is that Racist?) The other movie was early Shah Rukh Khan, some of it was funny, no good dance sequences to speak of - I have only watched the first hour or two. Note to self - rent the movie Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge.
- Lost on Location: Behind the Scenes of 'Lost in Translation' -- this is really worth renting. I enjoyed it - **** out of **** for a DVD featurette.
- Speaking of Sofia Coppola, keep an eye out for the movie Marie-Antoinette -- it is in post-production now. Here is the trailer.
- Australian slang... arvo = evening, dag yo = cool, have a root = have sex (via Jess via Zach). Any others?
- Might be cutting my hair soon.
- Vimeo is fun - check me out in the developing Jess James featurette, Batman Project Part 2. I also make a cameo appearance in How to Sit on a Couch featuring Greg Case.
- Dreams scale well.

Arvo is more 'afternoon', although it can slip into the evening (as 'afternoon' can also). We get all the Australian slang here as one of the most popular TV shows in the UK is from Australia.
So casual about the hair cut! I'm trying to think of ways you could use the hair, since it's so silky-pretty. I don't suppose you could donate it, short as it is?
* Note to myself - watch Parineeta!
* Dude DDLJ is still running in a Mumbai theater even after almost like 11 years! Beat that.
* Marie-Antoinette - Kiki. *sigh*
* Don't cut your hair dude! Why? Yaake?!! ('why' in Kannada)
* Stay away from Meg - especially if you see a pair of scissors in her hands! ;)
* Dream big. Big good.

Peter- Thanks! Add some slang to the list.
Megan- No, I can't donate it. Locks of Love (my sister did it) needs at least 10 inches.
Cara- Yes, I might do that! You give the best Atlanta tips.
Kaushal- You win for the best comment, buddy! Good bullet style. I'm not sure if you would like Parineeta - I liked the Hindi songs because I didn't know what they were saying! The words just sounded nice. Maybe the meaning will ruin it. I will try to write some Hindi now--- Me hair must. Mugur aap nehi samasti-he. (I tried to say, "My hair is fun. But you do not understand." Is that right?)

Brilliant attempt at Hindi there, Nick! just a minor correction....
"mugur aap nahi samaj sakte hai"
cheers!

Bombay is your fav? u probably should see number 1 and 3 in that series (trilogy?) "Roja" and "Dil se". and more of Maniratnam's (the director) films.
Australian slang rules. If you come to Australia I will teach you some more everyday slang that you can go around saying to people in your cool American accent.
Aussies will love it.
