Had been yesterday to EVAM‘s performance of ‘always look on the bright side of life’ (evam’s tribute to the Pythons)… What was so cool about the event was not the play/performance, that was typical good evam comedy… It was the people at the place that caught my eye… I found at least 10 ppl I did not expect to find there and they ranged from old school mates(ironic coz most dont show up for the reunions we organize), old colleagues(ok I had planned to watch it with them :P ) and some friends I have not seen in a long time!

Anyway the sketches were ok, I have seen most of the original Python sketches and once you have seen them the repeat value is not spectacular but I did enjoy a bunch of new sketches that was performed.

After the show grabbed dinner with a couple of friends. At the table Sidharth and Anant decided to introduce the rest to ‘me’ (I think it was more involuntary and probably the drive to pick on someone that caused that :P ) So very soon they bought up everything I have done(blogging, writing, acting, my company ect) and things I have not done(gained weight, girlfriend, decent acting role ect) It was the best 2 hours I have had in a long time.. I dont know what the audience was thinking but the constant bursts of laughter (on the flip side a few ‘cools’ )

Sidharth did the honor of imitating my posts, he went on to give his version of my blog posts… which obviously was hilarious :D I think he was trying hard to get back at me coz I have not been able to make time for our podcasts for a month now :P

Anyway in other news, EVERYBODY is talking about the new Harry Potter movie! My friends page is bombarded with reviews…

I will join you guys soon!

Have tickets to watch it today evening :) I was least excited about this movie actually, my friends got the tickets and basically msg me if I wanted one and I went ‘Oh when… ok get me one’ I dont regret it now(obviously)

I tried recompiling the 2.6.22 kernel into Kubuntu Feisty in Bliss(I christened her btw) yesterday. I was hoping to get rid of the not working parts of my current install and the ‘Stable’ version did not boot! I must have goofed up somewhere, so for now will stick to the 2.6.15 version. Its working well just that all features of Bliss is not enabled in it :(. Guess I will solve the problems one at a time :P

Finally, I most probably will be going for the Bangalore Bloggers Meet next Sat(21). Anant wrote about it a while back… I keep thinking its probably not for me but what the heck its just a few hours and it could be fun :) (I dont know if they wrote about this in LJ Bangalore… if not I wonder why :P )
