In Descent

We went watching The Descent - 2 yesterday..

Gore: Yess..!!
Full with, blood, bones, gooey spittle and red shit of cave dwelling creatures!..

The movie does with a phosphor stick, a few flashlights and flares what none else can. Taut acting, thin australian accents!.. and yepp, here comes the spoiler, wait for it..

EVERYONE DIES..!

:] *bruhahahaha!!*

How good is that?! I mean, there is no mother-son reunion at the end, no tears shed, no late ambulances with handsome yankee idiots popping out that say "You alright..??" out of that same old redundant american concern which makes them wrap warm blankets around just'bout anyone in just'bout any disaster.

But more fun was learning about fellow Indians at the show.
There is this scene where a female deputy thins she's gonna die, and she pulls out her Nokia N81 8GB from a zip-lock pouch, and starts to record this video message for her son - "..dear son, mommy loves you very much.." and stuff. I, my sister, the guy who was busy kissing his girl a few seats away, and the guys one aisle down - we all, in the middle of this, this very emotionally gravid scene, we all whisper to each other:

"..nokia en eighty one hai bey..! Aaat gee bee.."
(..it's a Nokia N81, man..! Eight GB..)

We're a nation full of such people, you & i included.
..and it's damn funny if you learn to notice these things!
:D

But, it was a good movie, a decent watch!
:)
It is kinda' funny when you notice these things too.. i guess!

Then, late last night, i was talking to my girl about the movie, the World Cup and the handsome basterd Mr Bastian Schweinsteiger in general (..yeah, long story!). I realized (read: was told) that the Klose of Miroslav Klose is pronounced KLOE-suh, and not Klose as in Close. I also realized (read: was told) that "glossing over details" means to "overlook" or like Oxford puts it: "try to conceal or pass over", AND it does NOT mean "paying too much attention to".

It's because, without checking a dictionary, i connected "gloss" with "glossy" and that with "shine". Then i thought how positive a connotation the words shine and gloss have - so it must be to shine over, pore over, give attention to, stuff..

Dumb, right..!? I know..


It strikes me now that i'm not really as smart as i'd like to believe i am. I mean, the same thing happed in early 2008. Sushil and i..

Sushil: ..dude, (yes, he always starts with 'dude') what does segue mean..?
Me: *over-confidence* It is like a paste, like.. you know, thick viscous mixture.
Sushil: Yeah? Then why do they have that 'Personal Transportation' thingy that's called segue
Me: Yeah.. maybe it has someth..
Sushil: I think i read somewhere that it's about moving from a scene to another.. i don't remember much.
Me: ..dude!.. c'mon! How does that make sense!? (no, i usually never start with 'dude')


Needless to say, we researched it, and i learned that he was correct; i'd once lost a challange with Lux - the Finch vs. the Drongo. It was a Drongo, and i learned that Finches are smaller. It extends to spellings too - i have countless photos of spelling errors in public situations - and some are hilarious!!.. but i can barely only distinguish between their and there.

Many moons ago, i was corrected that things can't be "quiet good", later i had an embarrassing moment when i wrote something along the lines of "..i am the Lion, and this is my Liar! :D" ..yes, with the smiley. This blog itself is witness to me receiving advice on how "recieving" isn't really the correct spelling. I usually let google correct my spellings, but then i know..

It explains a lot to me. A whole lott, like Reciept, Embarassed, Separetely, Confidance, Brochoure, Acommodation, Occurrance, Relience.. and a lott more!


Plus of course, you gotta agree with Mark Twain when he probably said "I don't give a damn for a man that can only spell a word one way." and definetely, definitlee, definitely wrote "They spell it "Vinci" and pronounce it 'Vinchy'. Foreigners always spell better than they pronounce."


Meanwhile , whenever i don't have a clue'bout what a word means; i have a fantabulous girlfriend..!
