The last few days have been a complete waste of time for me. My minor tests are starting soon and still I lack the much needed enthusiasm to study. Only two courses are interesting this time. Finally, to create the atmosphere of anticipated minors and to redirect my grey cells to maggai I cut down on my book-reading and movie-watching time.

For some time now I have been downloading movies in large number from the LAN. It is a peerless source of excellent movies which range across most of the conventional as well as non-conventional genres. Classic, cult, noir- you name it and it is there. Many downloaded ones are exceptionally bizarre and off the beaten track. But there is one small hitch. The LAN may have a huge never-ending collection of movies. But my search is restricted to only the notable ones and they are being consumed with a huge pace. And those benevolent spirits which supply me those movies rest in some fourth year guys who will pack up after the majors and bid us good bye. Naturally, I have to keep my eyes and mind open to keep on checking whether a movie is available or not. Generally, at different times of the day one is bound to get different results owing to the presence of the particular source.

Moreover, there is lots of music ranging from hard rock to classical, to be downloaded too. Besides, my taste is slowly evolving to accommodate more number of bands and singers. It seems that I have a huge preference for boy bands over girl bands and singers. I downloaded Dixie Chicks and Led Zeppelin. Clearly, the latter was much better. Perhaps by the end of the majors I should be able to amass a great amount of stuff. May all my desires be fulfilled…. I have also been attending quizzing events. In one of them the quizmaster asked a question related to Ed Wood Jr. He is famous for directing the most pathetic and shadiest movies in the history of cinema. The shadiest movie was to be identified. Somehow, I recognized the poster shown, at first instance. So I told him the answer promptly and won points for my team. While giving more information about the movie he mentioned that he had a copy of the movie. I immediately became interested in possessing one. Overcoming all unwarranted hesitation, only recently I approached him. He said that he will try his best to arrange a copy for me. Soon it may work out that I come to possess the worst movie ever….Pure luck!!
