Random Thoughts & A Random Post

Hello guys...

Today, I don't know what I am talking about. My post won't be a proper post. It will just contain random thoughts and random sentences. Don't expect anything to be linked. So here goes;

I was just watching The A1 GP Qualifying at the Sepang Circuit and I was thoroughly dissapointed about India's qualifying. We qualified very low in the Sprint Race. In the Feature Race though, we qualified 7th though which is pretty good though Lebanon surprised everyone qualifying 3rd!
What I noticed, was that the last season was as highly contested as the 3rd qualifying session of Formula 1. The power boost is a nice feature.

I was wondering something, is A1 GP worse for the Environment or Formula 1? I will try and do some research on this but if anyone knows then please do tell me. Either post in the comments or send me an email at; twisthis@gmail.com

I just saw the trailer for Adventureland. It is by the director of Superbad who is one of the best upcoming director. He also directed 3 episodes of my favorite show "Arrested Development".
The movie is about this recent college grad who needs more money for his Euro trip and his parents won't give it to him. So he has to find a job and earn the money himself or he needs some job before he set out.

He can't seem to find a job anywhere except a bad job at a local amusement park. This job is the perfect course to get him prepared for the real world.

The cast is not all that famous but each of them have had their own successes. The director is a brilliant and upcoming director. This will release in 2009. The trailer is out now.

Check it out now!

Right now this weekend's football action is about to start in less than 30 minutes! I cannot wait! I hope Arsenal bounce back from an embarassing defeat to Aston Villa at the Emirates.

I just hope William Gallas is sold of to another club as soon as possible. Every since he sulked off after the last minute penalty to Birmingham last season, I have hated him.
Now after his latest, I hate him even more.

He has blasted the commitment of the team and has revealed that theur have been all kinds of fights in the Arsenal dressing room and between the team-mates. His book also was released.
What about his commitment?
He should leave the club immediately. He does not have the right to talk about anyone else from the club in an interview. He doesn't have the right to reveal what goes on in the club's dressing room if he is still part of the club.

Well he is dropped for today's match against Manchester City and Almunia the Goalkeeper takes over as captain.

Well.. that is all for now. I may have more random thoughts later.
I gotta rush towards the tv and downstairs. Everyone is calling me.
Goodbye!

Move To The Groove - iPods and MP3 Players

The iPod has long dominated the market. The first iPod was launched on 23rd October, 2001 in but it was not till the second or third generation that the iPod started dominating. It is now in its sixth generation and still dominating.

The iPod may still be dominating but its dominance is slowly coming to an end. The MP3 player ( http://www.savebuckets.co.uk/browse/consumer-electronics/audio-hi-fi/portable-devices/mp3-players/) market is hotting up. A lot of new entrants over the past two years and a lot of new updates to other players.

Right now, you have a wide variety of MP3 Players in the market. They include the SanDisk, Samsung, Microsoft Zune, Archos, Cowon, Creative Zen. That is a lot of players if you tell me. Each has its advantage in the market but the basic features are now in each and every player. Some players are even as good as the iPod and may even be better but where the iPod is greater is in design and simplicity.

Some info on MP3 Players;

1. iPod Nano - http://www.savebuckets.co.uk/browse/consumer-electronics/audio-hi-fi/portable-devices/multi-media-players/ipod/nano/
2. iPod Touch -

3. Cheap iPods -

4. Creative Zen MP3 Player -
http://www.savebuckets.co.uk/browse/consumer-electronics/audio-hi-fi/portable-devices/mp3-players/creative/
5. If you want price comparisions between MP3 players then -
http://www.savebuckets.com

There are different MP3 Players for different uses. For example, the Archos and Zune have a bigger screen and better video playback than the iPod.
Also, the Samsung MP3 Player has external speakers which the iPod doesn't.
The Sansa is slightly lighter than the iPod Classic.

Most MP3 players these days have the same storage capacities and most have similar features, like a standard headphone jack, equalizer, podcast support, video playback etc.

So if you want to be different and don't want the traditional iPod then they are many great alternatives for you ready in the market.

The Amazing Race - Season 13 Episode 5 - "Do It Like A Mad Man" Update

Sorry guys that I am a day late on this.

The episode is titled - "Do It Like A Mad Man." I shall post the final results of this leg at the end of my post.

This time, at their Pit Stop at Summer Hill in New Zealand, the seven remaining teams recieved a clue instructing them to fly over 5.600 miles to Siem Reap, Cambodia. The teams all scramble for flights. All teams except Andrew and Dan and Aja and Ty make it to the flights. Until Andrew and Dan go to the Emirates counter and finally at the last moment get the flight. So all teams except Aja and Ty make it together. They arrive late and have to scramble to make up lost ground.

In Siem Reap, the teams travel to a roadside pumping station where they are instructed to use a hand pump to fill a truck with 25 litres of fuel to recieve their next clue. Most teams finish it with ease except for the Frat Boys, Andrew and Dan.

Andrew: There you go!
Dan: You gotta do it like a madman.
This is where we get the episode title from. This time it is not from the Divorcess!

So after filling the trucks up, they are driven in their trucks to Siem Reap Harbour and then they make their way to motorized boats to the waterfront community of Kho Andeth. Terence and Sarah are forced to paddle their way and lose their first place after their boat breaks down.

At Kho Andeth, the teams face a Detour involving two tasks. The choices were Village Life or Village Work. In Village Life, the teams had to travel by boat to pick up three items - a set of fake chattering teeth from a dentist, a doll from a tailor and a basketball from a basketball court. Before getting the basketball, each team member had to score one basket. Then they had to deliver all the items to a man waiting on a dock. Ken & Tina, Terence & Sarah and Kelly & Christy successfully finished this Detour task.

In Village Work, teams had to travel to fishing grounds and then search for two traps filled with fish among a number of traps. They had to deliver them to the dock and transfer them to baskets before recieving their next clue. Nick & Starr, Toni & Dallas, Andrew & Dan and Aja & Ty successfully completed this detour.

The teams then travel to Angkor Wat for a roadblock testing sense of direction. The clue was "Who has a better sense of direction?"
In this Roadblock, one member of each team had to explore the temple of Angkor Wat for the Chamber of Echoes. They then had to stand in a particular sport and pound their chests to make an echoing noise before they could pick up their next clue from the chamber.
Nick, Tina, Dallas, Terence, Christy, Andrew and Ty completed the task for their respective teams.

The next clue sent them to their Pit Stop which was Babylon Temple where they had to search the grounds for the Pit Stop!

All throughout the race, Aja and Ty were behind the pack and were unable to catch up.

The teams finished in this order;

1. Nick and Starr (Prize: Five-night trip for two to St. John, Courtesy Travelocity)
2. Toni and Dallas
3. Terence and Sarah
4. Ken and Tina
5. Kelly and Christy
6. Andrew and Dan
7. Aja and Ty (Eliminated)

Toni and Dallas and Terrence and Sarah finished in an approximate tie and were checked in consecutively. Terence and Sahrah however, received a thirty minute penalty for being pulled over for speeding. It did not affect their overall placement on this leg, but will be applied to the next leg.

Some quotes;

Nick: "It just felt great. It brought me back to that first leg when we came in first place."
Nick: "To be honest, I thought I was doing some kind of war cry or Tarzan thing."

So what did you people think of this episode?
Did Aja and Ty deserve to be eliminated?
How is my summary for this weeks episode?
