Bollywood FTW!

I discovered that WinAmp has a bunch of streaming radio stations for the taking. I was getting a little stale with my own mixes, so thought I'd stream something off the wall for awhile. I found the Bollywood Mix radio station. For those unfamiliar with Bollywood, it's basically the pop-Indian films filmed in Bombay (Mumbai) and churned out by the dozens. You'll know you're watching a Bollywood movie if it's in Hindi, has overly dramatic moments, and then all of a sudden they all break into song and start dancing around, with every color of the spectrum clothing-wise. It's great happy stuff, and amusing and fun to watch. The Indians make good movies!



Other than that I'm just writing some code today and working on some more ASP.NET 2.0 stuff. This weekend's plans are to finish some last minute shopping, do a bit of packing, a bit of gaming, and hopefully a bit of tinkering with my new iPod Video that should be in today (if I'm lucky).

Oh and Overstock FINALLY shipped the lost item that I'd ordered. And in one piece. Have a great weekend everyone, enjoy the time off if ya have it and have fun!

    Bollywood Movies: There are strict guidelines on Indian and Pakistani movies. Heterosexual love is ok - but no kissing - no sex. Thus, the breaking out of dancing, singing, etc - giving "Westerners" the impression of the moving being a musical. A good example is the movie Bride and Prejudice.

    Then there is the Kamasutram (aka Kama Sutra) but I guess that is an entire subject on its own...

    Ok, now back to Brokeback Mountain.

    Yah I love how they never kiss in their movies. They'll come running across a field to each other and then spin around a bunch, but NOOOOOO KISSSS! Heh heh.
