I watched two excellent movies over the last week. The first one was ‘The Shawshank Redemption‘ which has to be one of the best movies I’ve ever watched. There was never a moment of lull in the movie and had a great storyline. Every single minute of the movie was worth watching and it’s been quite awhile since I’ve watched such an epic movie.

The second one was the Oscar winning movie ‘Crash‘ which was also a mind-blowing movie. The plot twists and turns wildly but does not confuse the viewer. The photography of the movie is near perfect and emotions depicted were very natural and I must appreciate all the actors of the movie. It definitely deserved the Oscar.

With the help of a friend, I managed to make a reflector for my flash, which was basically a sheet of aluminium foil on cardboard. It worked quite well, but I’m yet to test it completely.

I went gliding today, and the first thing I noticed on the airfield that it was very very cold. And the constant wind only made matters worse. The sky was quite gloomy too, and it looked like the conditions couldn’t get any worse. However, this did not deter us and we went ahead with gliding. Today was quite a large leap for me from last week, and I was given complete control of the glider right after take-off and I even landed twice, with a little assistance. It was a great feeling, having complete control over the glider and the freedom to go wherever I wanted to. As a bonus, we got to see an Apache doing some routine checks. We finished our session a little early today, due to the unfavourable weather and had an equally good time playing on classic arcade pinball.

Today is also the birthday of our flatmate, Sam, and I wish him a Happy Birthday!

Update - I have done some updates to the site, the most noticeable being the new widgets on the right side. The first allows you to be updated with the latest photograph of my 365 Day Project and the second displays famous quotes. The other changes are internal bug fixes, etc. Feedback invited.
