Can’t get it out of my head

Seeing double
Those TV trailers for Moulin Rouge running on TCS 5 have me thinking that Ewan McGregor looks like Tony Leung. I don’t know what it is, maybe the way they smile.
The trailers for the movie Gothika have me thinking that Bernard Hill (who plays Theoden in the LOTR movies) looks like Sir Alec Guiness.
Weird!
Survivor Returns!
Just when life returned to normal – in comes Survivor to shake up my days again. I’ll let you know when I get tired to watching the worst in people. It’s still entertaining, and I know I’ve dropped a couple of notches on the evolutionary scale saying so, but we are who we are.
I never caught Survivor Pulau Tiga so I never understood what it was about Richard Hatch that made him the Survivor that everyone benchmarks against, but watching him yesterday – totally entertaining. I like how the show is a microcosm of corporate life. And seeing it instead of living it is funnier.
All the same, I’m sad to say Ethan Zohn was lucky that Survivor Africa was dry. He looks terrible in the Pearl Islands with the rain and sea-based challenges just ruining his ringlets. I mean, wet ringlets are just ugly! It’s ok. If his tribe loses again, I think he’ll be the next to go, so no biggie.
I’m disappointed that Brian Heidrik (winner of Survivor Thailand, the car salesman who used to act in soft porn movies) didn’t make it, but he’s probably too busy with his recurring role in Days of Our Lives or something.
It’s UI is just too Orkut
Yes, I’ve complained before, but I’m going to keep doing it until they demonstrate that they have UI people working on it. The features are so hidden it’s hard to do stuff on it. If you don’t know what it is, it’s google’s friendster, except it also doubles with a business networking section. You need to be invited (or at least it was the case the last time I looked), so if you want to check it out, let me know and I’ll send along an invite.
