After I got home today, Varun showed me all the stuff that he had made/downloaded in the last few days.  He now has a new site theme for his site, Varun 20787, which is called The Symbol and looks really great.

Before I left for Manipal, I watched two movies - the long-awaited The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers on 29th March, and Jurassic Park III on 30th (afternoon).  A strange trend that I noticed is that there has been a streak of sequels among the movies I've seen recently - just look at this list: Hellraiser III, Child's Play 3, Jurassic Park III, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, K-911.  Short summaries of these movies follow:

• The Two Towers: I liked this movie a lot, but I felt the first movie was a bit better, because it had more characterisation and emotion.  The standouts in this sequel were the Helm's Deep battle sequence and of course the fascinating, completely computer generated Gollum.
• Jurassic Park III: Short and action filled movie with Dr. Grant (Sam Neill) going to Isla Sorna with Mr. Kirby and his wife (William H. Macy and Téa Leoni), to search for their son, who got lost on the island.  Some new dinosaurs and unintentionally funny plot turns, where we find out the dinos can set traps, and that a cellphone can make noise from inside a dino's tummy, only to be excreted later...
• K-911: Direct-to-video sequel has James Belushi's Sgt. Dooley and police dog Jerry Lee (Mac) up against a crazed killer who's after Dooley for some strange reason.  Dooley and Jerry Lee are paired with another police dog, Zeus, and it's trainer (Christine Tucci).  Entertaining enough movie, not bad.
• Max Knight: Ultra Spy: It's about a robotic super spy, Max Knight, helping a woman to find her 16-year old sister, who has been kidnapped by the crazed genius leader of the Avatars, a group who want to insert their minds into the internet, and need the sister's help to synthesise a new element, which will serve as a power source.  Sillier than it sounds, it does feature a cool sequence with footage from the game Half-Life.

I finished my internal and external project evaluation on 27th and 28th March.  And now the TAPMI process is over.  Next up is my last two ever final exams - on 8th (Robotics) and 10th (Data Warehousing), after which my Engineering course will be over!
