Jack Johnson: Artist of the month

My playlist for the month is largely dominated by Jack Johnson’s songs. Cocoon is the track of the day. Interesting lines:

You said this was all you had
And it’s all I need
But blah blah blah
Because it fell apart and
I guess it’s all you knew
And all I have
But now we have
Only confused hearts and
I guess all we have
Is really all we need

Sunday Morning Dreams

This could be my last post*. (Conditions Apply)

Sunday to many is by far the best day of the week. And Saturday can be equally fun if you are good at procrastinating. I love waking up on Sunday mornings. You have no check to signs, no bills to pay, emails that don’t make you feel guilty if you don’t respond in a few minutes. Having said that, most interesting part of the day is the morning dream. You wake up with hope, ideas and a nice smile.

From a prospective employee: “Do guys work from a room or garage?”
me: “Even worse, we have a well structured office.”

Incredible Mr. Incredible

The Incredibles is an amazing animated sci-fi action packed movie. For the first time Pixar has used only human characters in a film. There is amazing amount of creativity and sense of humor displayed through out the movie. The characters are well thought of and the voice over is done very well. In order to give Dash a realistic out-of-breath voice, Brad Bird (Director) made Spencer Fox run laps around the studio.

Out of the 4 movies that I saw in last 6 months - 3 were animated. Pixar’s next movie Cars is due for release in June 2006.
