What a week!

The Dow Jones index breaks a 4 day losing streak in the week by finishing up with a strong rally of 490+ points. In the same week, the big 3 of American auto industry go to the senate in corporate jets for funds to stay afloat and prevent bankruptcy. That's like begging with a golden bowl! The senate does the right thing by turning them down and asking them to come back with a concrete plan on how they will use the tax payer's money. The episode reminded me of the Roman empire and their wasteful ways during their hey-days.

Watched Madagascar - Escape 2 Africa - the movie is so darn funny! The best sequence in the movie was the way those penguins steal the jeep from humans. A word of advise - so much happens in that sequence, don't blink! The granny is crazy cool! It is funnier than the 1st one. Watch it! - my score - 4/5

Also watched Twilight - This is strictly a date movie ... Its about a vampire falling for a human. The movie was refreshing as far as vampire movies go. The concept was a little hard to believe, but then it was done nicely. It also ousted Quantum of Solace for the No. 1 spot in its opening week. Chemistry between the lead pair of Bella (Kirsten Stewart) and Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) was very good. Watch it with a date that's into vampire movies and some "biting" ;-) - I give it a rating of 2.5/5. For the ladies, Pattinson was voted the sexiest vampire beating the likes of Brad Pitt and Antonio Banderas.

Here's what not to do when you are drunk - Don't drive a car - let other drunk friends do it for you, don't say bad things about your ex in front of friends, don't show your pole dancing skills after 2 long islands, 2 beers and a divorce. But hey, theres nothing like the company of friends who love you unconditionally - even if you do any or all of these things, make a complete ass of yourself after a divorce - good times! Carpe Diem! Oh, and that spot you left on the pillow from ur slobber, dont worry about it - Its taken care of :-)

The next week will see me trying my hand with a dish made with a Butternut Squash for Thanksgiving. If everyone survives the dish, I may post a blog about it.
