Things have changed. so fast and so drastic that i can’t tell if its a good thing or not. Either way life goes on. Constantly shifting, changing, morphing into one new paradigm or another. Nothing stays still. And while this wild journey takes me by the “made in China” label of my t-shirt across its various avatars at hypersonic speeds there’s one thing its not prepared for.
The sheer, utmost willingness to keep moving.
Consequences be damned. Bring it on.
Now Listening To: Najwajean – Drive Me
If only we all got that choice. Oh well, the weekend awaits and i’ve just one day of work to survive. Thank heavens for casual Friday. And even more thanks for staying at home on a Thursday. Oily Chinese dinner, even slicker company and a bad back to thank for the unexpected day-off rather.
Now Listening To: A Perfect Circle – Orestes
Tis been a craptacular week. Well, almost if it hadn’t been for the Transformers Movie which was mind-blowing. That and Valkyrie Profile Lenneth for the PSP. Next week the BioShock demo and a ton of sweet PS2 games await me. Unless something else pops up (and knowing my luck, it usually does).
Sleep time for me, got the grind to live up to in the morning. Mondays are as awesome to look forward to as castration.
Massive update tomorrow, if all goes well. For now, i’ll leave you with this…
Now Listening To: Marie Stern – Every Single Line Means Something
The alarm rang, playing that irritating Toreador tune for the umpteenth time. As always , our dark, brooding klutz pressed the snooze button. Only to be awoken several seconds later by the thunderous war cry of his bowels, threatening to unleash hell on earth if he didn’t heed to their needs.
A little later, after shit hit the pot, this slumbering twit was struggling to come to terms with the fact that he was fully awake. Amidst this tumultuous struggle, his cell phone whined. Before he knew it, he was gallivanting around the outer regions of the South Bombay sector on a shoot. Details of this journey are too gory to retell, rather here are a few statistics that should tell the complete story:
1. Number of high speed capsule elevator trips to realize that cause giddiness: 1
2. Number of times nearly run over by passing cars: 2
3. Number of India’s Dumbest Moments on Camera:3
4. Number of curses sworn in silence: too many to count
As you can see, numbers don’t lie. They may just have consumed one Tropical Iceberg too many and exaggerate.
Nevertheless he reveled in the hope that tomorrow would be better while stuffing his face with some uber sister-made manchurian and rice. After all what could go wrong with 5 tickets to Ocean’s 13 in his possession?
Only time would tell.
Would he have to go on shoot tomorrow? Will the print of Ocean’s 13 be any good? And most importantly, would his treacherous bowels take over the role of his alarm clock?
All this and much more on the next thrilling episode of Weekend Warrior. Same time, same place, tomorrow!
Now Listening To : Sting – King of Pain
Yes, you read right. From the 20th of March to the 27th of March ’007…
1. Prelim exams are just an excuse to pretend to study.
2. Guys are the real life equivalent of the MSN emoticon you would see if you type (@). Especially at farewells of the intoxicating, emotional sort.
3. A smile is all it takes to disarm and perhaps anger certain folk. More power to them. Not.
4. Cell phones falling from my 2nd floor balcony would have screwed up screens. First hand experience has taught me this.
5. The PSP is probably the most underrated console (portable or otherwise) ever.
6. Sleep after a solid night’s boozing is heaven-like. And then some.
7. Remembering nightmares in vivid, high-definition clarity is scary. Considering that dreams are barely remembered, and if they are, they seem like radio ads (with grainy sound) in comparison to the aforementioned nightmares.
8. Being a jaded Indian Cricket Fan, losing to Sri Lanka and Bangladesh doesn’t hurt as much as seeing your “early to bed and earlier to rise ” 78 year old grandfather staying awake till the very last ball (till around 2:30 AM) only to see his team crash and burn.
9. The end of BMM doesn’t hurt too much. Or at least not enough to illicit tears. Perhaps the uber defense system awaits Goa? Only time will tell.
10. Samsung Bordeaux LCDs rock the house in several different ways. Can’t wait to try an x360 or PS3 on it.
11. Not watching Little Miss Sunshine would be doing a great disservice to dysfunctional families everywhere. Heck, everyone has one lying around somewhere. Psychopaths probably have a few in their closet. Or something.
12. Not watching Tenacious D : The Pick of Destiny would be doing a great disservice to well…..no one. It’s just one of those movies you like or hate. Thankfully for this blogger it was the former.
13. Getting a new passport is fun. Even more so when you realize that no sign of an ECNR stamp means that you don’t need to visit sleazy immigration offices whenever you travel abroad.
Though its funny that your spoilt Cathedral bred sibling’s passport bears a stamp stating that she has to make a change in her itenary to include such trips.
14. The song listed at the end of this post, makes a lot of sense (thanks to Plo).
Now Listening To: Pentagram – Voice
