Twilight

Twilight: period on either side of night-time; l'heure bleue or Blue Hour ideal for the photographers and painters; activity time for Crepuscular creatures like Hamster, moose, red panda and some moths, beetles and flies; time for endless possibilities for the ever-optimists and hopeless romantics.

Drunk and out...sounds familiar?

I just had some wine and it feels like am out. Sounds familiar? And did you notice I didn't mention about how much I drank? I was worried that you might think I am a pus**, one who is out just by drinking such a small amount. But then, we carry all these inhibitions and prejudices and pre-conceived notions about all the stuff.....

Was watching Six Feet Under, and let me tell you, this is a fu**ing great piece of shi*, amazing stuff that makes you feel about how great life is, and how worse it could be. There is this guy who is, by profession an undertaker (well he prefers to call himself a funeral director), and he is pouring the water from the bowl held by the deadbody of a Thai Buddist man. And this water is used to cleanse the sins of other people who commited something wrong to this dead man and wanted to wipe it off. And the undertaker sees all the children who were aborted by him before they were born. And then in the shower party his would-be wife bids farewell to this hooker girl who apparently 'inspired' her to join anonymous sex orgies with unknown people. She wanted to wipe off her hands evidently. And her mom-in-law who hated her so far, admits how she admires her, because this would-be bride accepts the way her son is. and then there is the son's sister who took the snaps of all the dead men to see how a poem about dead people can be translated to a series of photographs of dead men. And her other brother who is trying really hard to catch up with the expectation of his boyfriend. This part is least surreal, and at the same time, most surreal. What could be more fantastic than two people trying really really hard for their "relationship" to work? And they think they love each other!! Love and adjustment: can it be funnier? Do we really need to call it love? Well, if you do not see my point, you have every right to call me drunk. Yes I am, and so is the whole f****** world!

Am not being judgemental, but isn't it true that having mindless sex is little better than dragging someone into a relationship he or she is not ready for and not interested in? That's what we do, all the time, without caring about how the other person feel, and more importantly, where does it put us in terms of our self-esteem and sense of dignity? Are we so desparate for the company of someone we think we love, that we go any distance to beg him/her to come back? And some of us actually ask for compensations, mostly the females. Unless you need it so badly, do you think you can live with the shame it brings with? Too many questions I suppose, and no one has the f****** answer. What a royal f*** !

Arigato

Jeremy Piven is not a common household name. Some trivia lovers might recognise him, but rest of the people could probably identify him by the name of the character he played in the HBO series Entourage: Ari. That is not unusual, sometimes the roles people play outshine them. And the role of Ari was really strong and intense, and Jeremy fitted for the role of this shrewd, manipulative and shameless Hollywood agent to the T.

One reason why he did it so well could be his superb skill of uttering long dialogues in the same breath, he kind of rushes through it and takes the audience along with him. He admitted once, "From the get-go, I'd keep talking and never stop. Literally, I would take single lines and just keep going." But the more significant reason is very simple: he is a fine actor. He can surely play a variety of characters with ease and perfection. But the role he portrays best is the super-ambitious guy who would do anything to be successful. A similar role he played in was in "Two for the Money".

And some advice, see "Smokin' Aces", he is good in there, and don't see "Chasing Liberty", unless you are a Mandy Moore fan or you say "I love corny. I am looking for some corny in my life", in true "Holidays" way.
