Shiverin' in Winter

Though the world is so full of a number things,
I know we should all be as happy as can be
But are we?
No, definitely no, positively no.
Decidedly no.
Short people have long faces and
Long people have short faces.
Big people have little humor
And little people have no humor at all!
And in the words of that immortal buddy
Samuel J. Snodgrass, as he was about to be lead
To the guillotine:

Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh

[Donald O'Connor - MAKE 'EM LAUGH]

Whirlwind

It’s been a long while. It’s been a (not so) long journey. And I've just closed another chapter of life.

I'm glad to have taken my chances where I could. Friends made, affections lost. That’s the circle of life.

We just have to keep on living.

To the best of my own abilities, I shall try to fix what's broken.

Today I sit alone in my room and listen to the Beatles and Oasis. Talking about Oasis… think about the innate irony (ooh alliteration :P) of the following lines:

“Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannonball
.
.
.
Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
.
.
.
Wake up the dawn and ask her why
A dreamer dreams, she never dies
.
.
.

The world's still spinning around we don't know why."
[Oasis- Champagne Supernova]

Oh I read Reckless (Cornelia Funke) – um ok I guess… I mean nothing absolutely NOTHING will beat Thief Lord but yeah after Inkdeath (which I re-read too by the way because I’d totally forgotten what happened to Dustfinger and Mo (bleh!))(oops- that was a bracket within a bracket…*shrug who cares*), it was a pretty welcome change.

Right now I’m reading (…wait for it!!!) THE NEWEST BARTIMAEUS!! I’m so happy!! Jonathan Stroud hasn’t lost a bit of his touch, though I still haven’t forgiven him for how he ended Ptolemy’s Gate (for those of you who haven’t read the series yet I’m not telling you what happens). But anyway, this one is the prequel to the series, about the Djinni’s time in Solomon’s land…with a healthy dose of the Queen of Sheba mixed in… pure heaven!!

I got a new laptop!! Yay!! After the old specimen which looked like even dinosaurs would refuse to shit on it (it would be an antique for them too you see… pterodactyl curators of dino museums would frown on you if you so much as blinked at it…yes I am talking about my old laptop… :P) [PS: that last was completely in memory of the late and much revered Deeptarko AKA Lazy Bore- who is an asshole]

My grandparents are really unwell. I hope I get to see them the next time I go back. My aunt should really take care too.

Ok I have to go do silly moot stuff now. Oh sad news... :(... I have this case as my constitutional law project which is of like 900 odd pages… more whining (and there shall be lots) about this later.

For now… NOX...
