I'm addicted to Weeds... well, not literally... but the series on 'Showtime'... It is quite a show.. going strong into the Season 6 now... to be aired in Aug '10.
I also love the opening song "Little Boxes" originally sung by Malvina Reynolds and then by various artists during seasons 2 and 3.. Each episode also features some cool music... check them out!
PS: If you have a netflix account, you can see all episodes of Seasons 1 - 4 online

Where's Ronaldinho?
Quiz time!
Whats common to Zakumi, Shakira, Jabulani and $420 million?
For the answer, read on... ;-)
-----------------------------------------------
Life has been pretty busy, but fun....with quite a few pleasant surprises. But, just the other day, I got a shock from my missus... And I found a video that vividly captures my moment... so, here goes...!
-----------------------------------------------
Well... The answer to the quiz: FIFA World Cup 2010!!
Zakumi is the official mascot for the 2010 World Cup, an anthropomorphised leopard with green hair, presented on 22 September 2008. His name comes from "ZA" (the international abbreviation for South Africa) and the term kumi, which means "ten" in various African languages. The mascot's colours reflect those of the host nation's playing strip – yellow and green.
The official song of the 2010 World Cup "Waka Waka" is performed by the Colombian singer Shakira and the band Freshlyground from South Africa, and is sung in both English and Spanish. The song is based upon a traditional African soldiers' song named Zangalewa.
The match ball for the 2010 World Cup, manufactured by Adidas, is named the Jabulani, which means "bringing joy to everyone" in isiZulu.
The total prize money on offer for the tournament is $420 million, a 60 percent increase on the 2006 tournament. Before the tournament, each participating team would receive $1 million, for preparation costs. Once at the tournament, teams exiting at the group stage would receive $8 million and so on..
$9 million – Round of 16
$18 million – Quarter-finals
$20 million – Semi-finals
$24 million – Runners up
$30 million – Winners

Unchained Melody
Saw the movie 'Ghost' starring Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore.. Pretty funny movie and romantic too..
Just love the song by the Righteous Brothers.
Oh my love my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me
Lonely rivers flow to the sea to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh wait for me wait for me
I'll be coming home wait for me
Oh my love my darling
I've hungered hungered for your touch
A long lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me
Just love the song by the Righteous Brothers.
Oh my love my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me
Lonely rivers flow to the sea to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh wait for me wait for me
I'll be coming home wait for me
Oh my love my darling
I've hungered hungered for your touch
A long lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me
