[Movie] Untraceable
I have been watching way too many movies past 2 weeks, cannot even remember many of their names now. Last weekend I planned to go to Salem, but ended up in Fry’s (Wilsonville). I bought a Wii there and am thoroughly enjoying the games in it, but more about that in a different post. Amidst all these I am trying to finish up my office work too. See how hard working, I am? ;).
In this post, I want to talk about the movie Untraceable. I just finished watching it. My initial impression - "Great, that was interesting!". But now, after some 10 minutes, I realize all the holes and stupidity in that movie. But before I get to that, let me tell you what this movie is about.
******** Warning: Spoilers ahead ***********

Student life: Odd exam superstitions

After watching this Youtube video on how smart the Americans are, one of my friends pointed me to a similar video, shot in London. Funny one!

Couple of months back, I was working on a chess application. I […]
