soloprojectTime for another weekly update and this one is going to be good! Last Saturday, we finally decided it was time to do the noble and touristy thing so..we went to the museum! The museum in town is called Chattrapati Shivaji Museum but formerly known as the Prince of Wales Museum. It was interesting because it had lots of statues of the gods and anyone as interest in Indian mythology as I, know that it's full of badassery and fighting and action. There was a hall of Indian painting that I LOVED because of the funky graphic style and bright colors and then there was this:
The mummified baby elephant. Ssssssooo cute and so creepy! You aren't allowed to take pictures without getting an expensive camera pass but I snuck in a few, shhh. ;D
Monday was Bart's and my odd-day off. I went with him and Adam to the Thai embassy where they did this weird thing where they had to photocopy money. How they didn't figure to just duplicate the money all on one page, I don't know. But there you go. Then we went shopping and then we went back to his flat where I made him a Dalek henna tatt with the promise of food.
And then I watched the most BADASS MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN--- Dabangg!!! It was extremely action-packed and by that I mean, major fight scenes, wire work, gratuitous shooting of bullets and, I kid you not, actual shirt ripping WITH THE FIERY PASSION OF RAGE but!!! In other words, my kind of movie. It was all in Hindi though but it was totally cool and the music was awesome. They ripped off fight scenes from Jackie Chan movies and the RDJ Sherlock Holmes slow motion scene near the beginning when he was fighting in the pits. I want to cut that scene out and splice it with the scene in Dabangg because it was hilaaaaarious.
WITH DANCING!!!
Today, a lot of the interns in my network have been told to stay home because today is the verdict of this case that's been the center of some drama for some sixty years between Hindus and Muslims in India. Everyone is worried that there will be riots and it will unsafe to go home so my company decides to hey, anyway, they'll be indoors the whole day and so everyone in my company is at work today. To top it off, the next three days (Th-Sat) are dry days so I can't even drink away the pain!
And Bart's bye-bye party is on Saturday night and we are not going to be sober for that one for sure. PARTY, POLISH, PILIPINO and PISSED all start with the letter P.
