For those of you who haven't watched Heroes, my advise: Don't Watch It now - it is terribly addictive. One episode could get me hooked to this series. This comic book themed action series has a lot in common with the X-Men and the Matrix.
Here are some similar characters:
Sylar: The central villain of this series is very powerful like Magneto - shares a sad past and wants to conquer all - probably like Magneto.
Peter Petrelli: Or should I say 'Neo/Rogue'. One of the most special and talented mutants.
Claire/Cheerleader: Possesses healing powers like Wolverine. Her relationship with Peter Petrelli is a lot like Rogue&Wolverines.
The beatcop: Can read people's minds like Jean Grey.
Hiro: Can teleport like the Teleporter in X-Men.
DL Hawkins: Can walk through walls like ShadowCat.
Candice Wilmer: Can morph into different characters like Mystique.
Well, this is just part of the similarity. But the show is still worth a watch even though the storyline is slightly hilarious at times. There is something very innocent and schoolish about this show and probably thats what keeps it going,
Last week as I was walking on campus after class, I was stopped by two volunteers near the Penrose Library. They were collecting funds for a certain Denver based 'stop global warming' organization. The female volunteer asked me if I knew anything about Global Warming. I said I had already enrolled at StopGlobalWarming.org. She told me a little about their organization and seemed adamant that I should enroll in it. I asked her whats the criteria for enrollment and she replied "a funding amount(min $15)". I said I would check their website and then think about enrolling.
Global Warming has become such a hot topic today, there is even news of some countries planning to impose a carbon tax to keep a check on global warming. Corporate social responsibility has become the topic of the hour. After much criticism from Greenpeace for not recycling their products aggressively Apple has finally conceded to go Green. Hyundai and GE Plastics have decided to launch a new car made with recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic bottles, named the Qarmaq. This ambitious project has been named after the Inuit's (or 'igloo men' as we lesser mortals know them as) dwelling.

Lady of the Lake was my first blog, where I no longer write. It has a sanctity of its own which I would hate to disturb. I believe Vox is radically changing the face of blogging, and I really want to try this out. This is my first post here at Vox.
