Juno and a Candy girl

Snap 1. Probably you should have seen the movie Juno by now. If not, you should find sometime to see it. I fell in love with Ellen page because of the movie.

Snap 2. I found this book in the library.. it is called “Candy girl - A year in the life of an unlikely stripper” (now.. don’t get your instincts to sense something wrong here..). The tagline of the book might sound (for some of us) like something too perverse, but it is a brilliantly written, geeky comedy. It is a memoir about a girl who wanted to do stripping just for the sake of it. You should find time to read this too.

If you are wondering what both these snaps lead to.. the answer would be Diablo Cody. She wrote the original screenplay for Juno and Candy girl is her memoir. The funny thing this she was a clerk at an ad-agency in Minneapolis before she started the act and now shez an Oscar winner and writing screenplay for a Stephen Speilberg TV show.

You never know where your life takes you to.

Wii

I wanted to buy a Wii to play this

but I got a big urge to buy when I saw this

and so Toys R us is shipping me one now…

P.S. I was having a nightmare when trying to include the Guitar Hero 3 ad as a embedded video here. For some reason my wordpress doesn’t seem to work the way the coders actually expected it to..

Update - I believe it is actually an issue with Firefox and flash videos (not the youtube video but the TED one). For some reason it gets corrupted when wordpress tries to display TED video object in Firefox. IE seems to be fine. Anyway, I have both the videos as a ‘link’ now. It shouldn’t be a problem anymore.
