And my friend Abi is running a contest with the prize being a cool wireless mouse. The cheapskate in me forced my brains to rack up something. The garbage that came out wasn’t too pleasing, but here’s my shot at something free:-

Rajaseelan spotted a hog,
Wanting a good picture to blog,
He angled up by a log,
Unfortunately delirium from sipping eggnog,
Made him fall into the bog.

Holy Cow!!! I just saw this on youtube. I had to post this, anyone who grew up as an 80’s SBC child will instantly recognize this. One of their locally produced cops & thieves dramas, with an uber-catchy theme song. The one posted on youtube is the mandarin (?) dub, but either way its definitely worth a listen.

My friend Abi is having a contest where some people will get free WordPress stickers if they meet certain criteria. Too bad I didn’t follow this earlier on. This is what happens when you dont read your RSS feeds.

Oh well, he’s promised to have more contests in the coming year, so I’ll keep my fingers crossed.

I’ll be off for a vacation from the 26th of December all the way up to the 2nd January ‘08. I’ll be heading off to Langkawi. Hopefully the monsoon season won’t put a damper to it.

Hope I see some of you guys there. Alright peeps, till next year, goodbye. 

Yes people, as sad as it is, I just discovered Nip Tuck. I immediately wanted to see the show after listening to the theme song remix, done by Gabriel & Dresden.Here’s a description of the song as taken from Amazon.com:-

…….. conjur up a nigh-seamless soundscape of haunting textures and percolating beats here, forcefully pushing the envelope of what a smart song-score can be in the bargain. Their rhythmic reinvention of The Engine Room’s theme for the show, “A Perfect Lie,” sets the cynical, haunting tone, with Gabriel and Dresden employing a sensibility that’s both more mature and austere than their typical club work……….

Typical or untypical, their work in mixing the entire album really shines. In my opinion, its collection of down-tempo beats and trip hop makes this a must have to anyone’s collection of music.

2. Poloroid - So Damn Beautiful (Original Mix)
3. Wax Poetic featuring Norah Jones - Angels
