A quick rundown of the events in the last three days shows that I have basically been spending all my time in the Systems Lab at college.  For various reasons actually.  But since there are Internet-enabled computers there, sharing of folders enabled, a CD writer, speakers, Doom installed on one of the computers, I think I can live there if necessary (especially since I'm still awaiting the status of my own computer)!

Anyway Arun Gopal and myself were very busy the last two days with our System Analysis and Design Project.  Our Project Presentation got over this morning.  The project that we picked was the design of a website for a Restaurant/VCD Library and Video Theatre.  We decided to call the thing AKA (for Arun and KArthik).

And since we're not actually going to do the full implementation, we thought we'd have some fun in making the site itself.  So at AKA, we plan to have strange dishes, including:

• Veg. Coffee
• Non Veg. Coffee
• Coffee-Tea Cocktail
• Strawberry Omelette
• Paneer Coffee Masala... and more!

I watched the French action-comedy Wasabi on 21st night.  It was quite a fun movie, very stylish, though not excellent.  It stars Jean Reno as a cop who goes to Japan to find out why his wife died - and why she disappeared mysteriously 19 years before.  It is directed by Gérard Krawczyk, and written by Luc Besson.  I watched the English dubbed version.

Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid is I heard releasing in India on 27 August, and that is the same day it's being released in the US (according to IMDb).  I am still yet to watch Alien vs. Predator.  Two other upcoming movies that I want to watch are:

• Exorcist: The Beginning: This movie has just been released in the US and is directed by Renny Harlin (Finnish director who made Die Hard 2 and Cliffhanger).  Well, at least the theatrically released version is, I heard that Paul Schrader made a whole film that the studio abandoned because it was a "psychological thriller" and they wanted a more bloody/scary/gory movie.
• The Grudge: Starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, this is the English remake of Ju-On: The Grudge.  Both the Japanese film and the American remake are by the same director.

Yesterday, while Arun and me were working on our presentation, I read this UGO Script Comparison of Alien 3's various versions and was looking at JoBlo.com's DVD Review for the Alien Quadrilogy Set.  If I had a DVD player and the resources to get this DVD set, I would buy it instantly!

Our network drives at TAPMI have been increased to 100 MB (from 30 MB previously).  And because the data stored in any network resource tends to expand to fit the available size (my law) I have 95.6 MB of data there now (mainly due to MP3s of Kaakha Kaakha and some others I found on the network).  Of course I will offload that onto a CD soon.

I also copied Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle and DivX'ed a pretty bad Indian VCD version of Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth (into 290 MB) that day.
