A Simple Plan
My sleep cycle is completely screwed. Yesterday, I decided to try staying awake the entire night so that I could sleep on time today.
It was only 1 a.m. I was armed with two Cronenberg flicks ("Shivers" and "Rabid") and "The Never Ending Story" (just in case I needed a break). Unfortunately, I decided to check out what was playing on the tele.
Surfing through the music channels I came across VH1 showing something called "Bands Reunited". The presenter of the show was trying to regroup "Berlin" ("Take my Breath Away" from Top Gun") 20 years after they had split up. It was interesting to see what the band members of the group were doing currently - most of them were pursuing occupations unrelated to music. By the end of the show, the presenter had managed to reunite the band members for a one night only reunion performance. It was a great concept and although I'm no fan of Berlin just seeing people who were once so close as a band meeting up after 20 years was nice...
OK. Program done. Time to watch the movies. No let me check what else is on. "There's something about Miriam" sounds interesting and I've heard about it somewhere. There's a bunch of guys put in a house trying to woo a hot Latina model named Miriam. This was the final episode - only two contestants remained. One of them was desperate to get Miriam - *so* much in love with her. The other guy was comparatively laidback although by the penultimate day he was crying about "what would happen the next day." Final day - Miriam chooses "madly in love with her" guy. So he's won like 10,000 pounds and a trip on her yacht. But wait! She's got to tell him what the "something" about Miriam is. She announces that she's got male genitalia. Although that HAD to be the "something" about Miriam - Miriam was quite hot and almost any guy would have fallen for her. All the other contestants in the back burst out laughing and Mr. Loverboy is stunned into silence. I hadn't expected the show to present the reactions of the contestants the way that they did - they were true to life - they made fun of Miriam and the guy who won. It was rude, it was politically incorrect, uncomfortable and therefore made good reality television?! Finally, Mr. Lova Lova backed out - not even 10,000 pounds would give him the balls to spend any more time alongside a woman with balls. Miriam should have burst into "Where is The Love?!"
Both of the above programs were originally from 2003, I think.
OK. Time to watch the movies now! It's 3:15 a.m. Hmm.. "Secrets of the Sexes" sounds intriguing.. A scientific dating agency was trying to predict mutual matches amongst a test set of 40 people (20 male / 20 female). They use every means of matching up people - facial matches, compatibility quotient and make a set of predictions for people who will be together at the end of the experiment. Then the "specimens" actually meet up for the first time - the first round consisted of staring at each other and giving a rating based on looks. The second round was 3 minutes of speed dating. By the end of the program - *none* of the predictions which the scientists had made came out true. Also, a first impression pretty much overrode everything else (the actual chatting generally did little to improve the scores / impressions people had of each other - atleast in this set of people - physical attraction was the order of the day). Maybe everyone on the show was just horny and wanted to get laid! Conversation didn't count for anything? Bah! Speed dating is for losers.. OH YEAH? Yeah! IT'S BETTER THAN YOUR SUCKY ONLINE MATCHUP SERVICES! No it's not! IS TOO! Is not.. Let's just leave these two guys alone.. The scientists had to admit what the rest of us know - love ain't scientific... but interesting experiment nonetheless..
4 a.m. - maybe I should watch Hercules now.. and this voice kept saying "What are you staying up for?! You don't have any work to do! No submissions.. nothing.."
I slept.

'What are u staying up for?! You have no submissions, nothing!' That was my voice. Ur welcome.
No it wasn't! No it wasn't! Don't go around putting your voice in my head! Taking credit for my voice's hard work! People these days! :p
that velvety voice could only have been mine, sweetheart.....melodious, soothing, calming......putting you to sleep. ur voice was not working after the day's hard work of shouting at your x-box while playing some losing game.
Are you calling the game names now? A "losing" game - if you are implying the game is pathetic, shame on you! Calling a fantastic game names which it can't be bothered to react to, even if it could.
If you're calling me a loser - well, that's fine.
And for your information (Aarti style), your voice in real life can hardly be classifed as melodious, soothing or calming..
I love my Xbox and I love ({) Prince of Persia : Sands of Time (}) and you're just J...
And finally wgvhbue
i am glad u recognise yourself as a loser ;-) and my voice in real life, u mite now rememember anymore..... you've not stepped into bournemouth for the last 234354947 years. tum hame bhool gaye, anshul.....
