more juries and some tv


today technical juries in college and it was a minefield of portfolios outside the design cell.. the jury composition is changing slowly- dont know what repercussions that is going to have on the results..

also mukul came back from berlin and amsterdam last night and i met him today. he has got me a nice lamp for the office that is going to find its place in between the two beds in the beer lounge.

saw 'remember the titans' on tv - a predictable true story with denzel washington playing the coach of a mixed race american football team. inspirational melodrama with a hackneyed plot. fallen heroes, male bonding, tough talk, yawn.

and then 'american idol' which has much worse singers than 'Indian idol'. the only ones i kind of can tolerate are the rocker dudes- bo and constantine- and that too not very much. its strange watching these leather clad supposed former alternative junkies turn on the sentimental glop that it is assumed to win the competition.

speaking of sentimental glop, i hear aishwarya rai is to be on oprah- a real match made in heaven. i can almost hear ash go "in our culture..." like its some exotic abstruse phenomenon unintelligible to american eyes.
