I seem to have lost the drive and inspiration to do anything. I’ve slowed down, been rather dull and life seems pretty pointless. This is the primary reason for the reduction in frequency of journal updates. I’ve not been able to convince myself to sit down and try. This post was typed out in bits… Continue reading Good hair day
Now at various points in your life, a smart teacher would have handwaved her way to a seemingly excellent explanation of something with actually nothing more than a few purposefully chosen examples. Now I am going to follow that route, but I’m not even going to fake the excellent explanation bit. Life isn’t fair. Hunks,… Continue reading Life, tv, reality
Under most normal circumstances, I would have cracked up every single time I heard the woman say it, but I was having a very hard time trying to laugh. This is about my trip earlier this week to a performance of the vagina monologues. There are a bunch of reasons I didn’t write about this… Continue reading The “Coochie snorcher” monologues
Not too much to really report. Either that or too much has been going on and I’d rather not remind me. Or I’ve just been plain lazy. No, really, nothing there to report. Of course I could whine about a few things. Our favorite show for instance. But then again, it is turning out quite… Continue reading Generic life, almost
Usually. I do love mocking things. I am not talking about “point and jeer kicking sand in their faces” mocking. I am not talking Sienfeld style “what’s the deal with mayonnaise” style humour either. I prefer a more darker and drier approach. Sounding perfectly normal and rational, just highlight a blatantly obvious (to me) observation… Continue reading I am not an evil person
Been at a library all day. It felt good. Not that that’s news in itself but it is pretty strange since I’ve not been to one in something like 4 months. Even to do something not entirely useful. Obviously, I am doing all I can to shift gears and keep them there. Stared at a… Continue reading Reality, and reality tv
Oh my god. Yesterday was one of the most funnest days I have had in ages. Yes, obviously my standards aren’t too high, but they’re all I care about. And yes, “no work” and fun are synonymous. While idling most (no actually, all) of the morning (and afternoon and early evening and …) and catching… Continue reading Idle, laugh, pant
And so, this is me, trallalaa laa, walking down a corridor in GGB. Suddenly, I notice something I hadn’t before. There it was, bang at the newly renovated toilets bathrooms restrooms. There it was, the mother’s room. I was like, cool. As I walk a few metres meters feet to the right, there was the… Continue reading Evidently warped
Ahh yes, it’s that time of year where housing plans (uncertainties?) cause unnecessary confusion in our otherwise quiet lives. It all started some time ago when my current roomies and I decided (or so I thought anyway) that we wanted to stay in the same apartment next year. Easy enough decision, this is a nice,… Continue reading Housing Chaos
I start typing this not knowing whether it’ll end up as a blog entry, an article once a place is made for such stuff on the rest of the site, a mail to someone who’d bother to read it, or all, which is most likely. I’d like to think of it as a rough draft… Continue reading I want it, just what is it?
The big day had arrived. I practically knew what all I had to say by heart. I didn’t need the slides or any such thing. I had realized this during my earlier runs, I had thought about it so much without the slides, it was almost harder with them, as I tried to match what… Continue reading My talk at M.I.T
