Because that’s what us slackers do.

Oohhh.. what does thiiis button do?
I am feeling exceptionally creative today. Not like I […]

Now, you’ve all seen movies haven’t you? I’m pretty certain a good chunk of you’ve seen at least one movie from my part of the world. The storyline is usually fairly […]

It’s funny how brains (well, my brain anyway) seem to process information while we’re asleep. I’ve had 4-5 of the weirdest dreams over the past week or so. There was this one time, when this Chinese lady called the lab and we “talked” […]

In a bold and daring move to eliminate the backlog in pictures I’ve taken but not uploaded in the recent past, I spent a whole 15 minutes making the Ann Arbor Summer and Art Fair :: 2004 album today.

And I’m hungry.
I’d made this stupid tomato/basil sauce for pasta a few days ago and it turned out very sweet. No, not awesome and yummy, sweet, as in the taste. And […]

The new and improved grad school FAQ is up. I’ve already gotten feedback from one of the newbies telling me it’s “useful enough” but “too arrogant”. Since he is “very much sure you too would have done mailing when you were in my […]

I cut out the section [~ 3.1 MB] of the recently released History of Doom video that appealed to me the most. This is yet another reason why id rocks. They understand the mindset of the obsessed-gamer type. We probably have no lives, […]

Last week was awesome, in an almost-tedious sort of way. I had something (arguably fun) to do every single day. Which is very different by my usually boringly-predictable life standards. Either I’m noticing opportunities I’ve previously failed to notice, or stuff that didn’t […]

This turned out to be a rather hectic week, socially. Yes, by my standards. And I think I have handled it rather well so far. Yes, by my standards. But I’m pretty certain I can’t sustain this regularly. In like, you know, life.

I just made a most embarrassing goof up involving mistaking the reply button for the forward button on my e-mail client.
Why the hell do they have to be so close? Why […]

Today was rather different. Spent most of the morning reading at home, and all evening at the art fair. It was waaay more crowded than I remember it being last year, and I was spending most of my time trying to find spots […]

And so it begins. I’m finally making the time to upload pictures taken during my trip to India. Here’s a teaser, sarees.
Sarees - Bring out the cross dresser in you.TM

Pretty much spent the whole of my afternoon-evening out with S and J arbitrarily hanging, drinking and eating. Pretty sweet. The town is preparing for its annual art fair which happens over the next few days. So everyone’s all excited and running around […]

And there I was, sitting doing whatever it was when I happened to notice one of my housemates carefully powder his back and slowly slip on a loose shirt. Of course, I had to pass a “delicate darling back” comment. And he goes, […]
