summer time (but the livin ain't easy)

my blog is all colour and i got rid of that painful noir hue. why didn't anyone tell me it was so depressing!. anyhow, i love summer and more so the advent of summer, or to use a classy term, the harbinger of spring. summers were always about exams and their aftermaths(hols! hols!), then college changed all that and it became aftermaths and exams!(sitting in a class at three o'clock in the afternoon, at the peak of summer, definitely qualifies as a mental aftermath!)
anyhow i came across this super funny site. k sent it to me. laughed my ass off.

Till you've had that mood indigo...

Finally, i peacefully blog.
I thought these hols would be complete R& R, lots of T.V,movies and sleep but oh no, here are some of the thorns in the flesh of these holidays.
computer: my computer, Oswald jr (Sr. was my rageddy teddy bear. err long story), got this mysterious worm, and basically i had to bear he trauma of the 1 minute shutdown timer every time i acessed the net. so i ran it through McCaffe security,ironically the damn thing happily, cheerily (as only softwares can do) informed me that my computer had, ABSOLUTELY HAD no virus, even as the timer was counting down. i used avg, panda software, norton, sigh and finally even used Nag (not really, considering, i DLed acid PRO for him), we got rid of one worm, when another worm reared its ugly head, a trojan downloader. so i formatted my computer, but the damned thing its sill there, though norton keeps it in check by deleting it whenever it shows up.
project : my project team consists of the toppers in my class. they are perfect nerds and workoholics, so i began my project at IISC and we have to go there everyday. bloody boring.
construction : those guys ripped my cable wire, so basically no cable for two whole days. i really am a child of the networks, i swear i felt orphaned those two days.
on the bright side though, i did manange to see a couple of interesting movies, Magnolia being the weirdest of them all, i definitely ODied on juliane moore movies, oddly, saw The Hours, Magnolia & Laws of attraction and oooooh, I bought a banana flavoured lip balm, i never in my wildest imagination thought somebody would make a banana flavoured lip balm. i guess some clouds have a chrome lining

Abhishek Nag, one-third member of that "not easily impressed", quizzing team, Tonic, took the other two thirds, namely Aditya Jalan and moi, to this cute little italian restuarant called Piri Piri for lunch. the food was great and the desserts even better, although i can't quite pronounce the name of the dessert i had.lol. had a great time. thank u nag. happy 22nd birthday.
