Long weekend
Last weekend we discovered a yet new restaurant in downtown, called Rock Bottom. I was a bit apprehensive initially as the look of the restaurant did not give me a friendly impression at first glance, we preferred sitting in the lounge section rather than waiting for a table. But after eating their special chicken fajita with saute rice, tortillas and cream cheese, I had no room for complaints.

With Scrumptous food and lots of televisions placed at perfect angles, Rock Bottom is a perfect place to spend a cozy friday evening.
Watched two movies over the weekend Revolution OS and The devil wears Prada. Revolution OS is a story about hackers who
created GNU/Linux and open source movement. It was great watching interviews of high tech big shots like Linus Torvalds, Richard Stallman whose books we have cherished like bibles.

The exciting part is narration of Bill Gates’ “Open letter to hobbyists” , the sarcasm used in the letter accompanied by the horror music in the background makes it more interesting. That reminds me Shreyas’ introduction section on one of my course’ home page CSG111 which says “I believe in open source except for the homework”
I simply freaked on “The devil wears prada” a very fashionable yet sensible movie, the amusing part is even though the movie is marketed towards women, even my guy friends enjoyed the movie equally.

The story is about a not so fashion freak young girl, recently graduated journalism major, working as an assistant to the editor of the most influential fashion magazine in New York. Throughout the movie there is an exclusive show of fashion, luxury and power still somewhere it makes you think what you really want to become in life and at the cost of how many compromises.
The lead actress Anne Hathaway has done a great job, the only ironic thing is she is considered not so slender girl in the movie
.
Jeez is’nt she slim enough?????
Doesn’t Anne resemble Julia Roberts?
