It's been long overdue

There are a lot of thoughts clattered up in my head, I'm just gonna write stuff randomly.

01. I went on a weekend trip to Varkala which is an hour drive from Trivandrum. It's a nice quite place. Beach isn't that big but it's okay. The water is so clear, you can see the seabed below for a long distance. I mostly slept the entire time, watched TV, played Sudoko on my iPod and read Trinity Blood. Mum and I played carrom everyday after dinner. Now that I'm back, I still can't shake off my vacation mood and now being the PL doesn't help either.

02. Chelsea 6 - Manchester City 0
Wow. Possibly one of the best Chelsea action that I've seen. City isn't exactly a very strong team but this season they've been fabulous to watch and hard to beat. Also they beat a team which was above them in the table by a large margin. All credit to the blues and now they're 4th in the table. Lampard was great in midfield and made good assists. Drogba was in his excellent form as usual. It was good to see Kalou, Cole and Sheva score. All those doubting Avram Grant are now rethinking their comments. Now for a little rant on the whole issue of Lampard being booed at Wembley. I'm not his biggest fan but I think booing of any player is just humiliating and reflects badly on the image of the country. Yes, he's been out of form for England but how is booing going to improve that? Fans need to think of another channel to show what they feel about the coach's decision. England's midfield isn't the best as portrayed in the Russia defeat. How about giving Barry and Lampard a chance?

03. Trinity Blood was a far more violent book than I imagined but it was good to read the backstory on the anime. Abel is <3.

04. This is an interesting read about how ISP's block P2P traffic.

It's a wee bit scary for me but it's a lng time since Sify might do that. For some time they had a loophole in it's speed limit checking. My 256mbps connection would provide 2000mbps. It was a glorious time. :)

Red is feminine

All of a sudden my dad is apprehensive that his brand new N76 is red in color because its a bit "girly". Yes, all this within 24 hours. I am having a jolly good time poking fun at his selection and my mom is secretly trying to convince him to give her the phone (which is far too complicated by her standards and she admits this).

I just watched ManU vs. Tottenham. ManU won 1-0.
Nani's goal was brilliant but Berbatov made excellent moves, all stopped by Ferdinand.

I might attend a seminar on hacking tomorrow. But mostly I'm glad I'll be able to bunk 2 lectures and a practical. ^_^

I'm adding more space to my computer tomorrow. Maybe then I'll install Linux. I just have to see how to dualboot XP and Linux and get the whole partitions thing down right.


I find it hard to accept things as they are sometimes. I usually don't expect much from people. But when I do, rarely do I find the comfort adequate. Why am I built this way?! It fucking hurts.

Crash

I don't know if I should even mention this. Initially, I was shit scared about what was going to happen for the boy. Then I was worried about us. It's all ended smoothly, or atleast that's what I'm told. How they might've reached that conclusion, I don't know.
I hope that boy gets well soon.

I hate being cryptic but I have to maintain anonymity here.

And another win for Chelsea against Portsmouth! I didn't watch the match though.

I met my jr. college crowd yesterday. They're the only ones who actually "get me". I have to meet them atleast once a week or I really start going crazy.

ETA: We got N76 for my dad. I think it's hideous and bulky but he liked the red color. @_@

A busy week

Yesterday's match: Chelsea 1 - Liverpool 1
I'll admit this painfully, but that penalty should not have been awarded. Liverpool deserved to win. They pwned in the first half. Malouda jumped so that Drogba could run with the ball and just collided. Definitely not a penalty.

9 players booked?? Fuck Rob Styles.

The freshers party was amazing!! All went as planned and was a huge success.
But the I'll miss all the frenzy and planning (and waking up at 4am to iron the sashes) that went into it. I enjoyed every minute of it.

I might just upgrade my harddrive to 120 GB.

And we also bought Tata Sky. The cable connection we had was atrocious compared to Sky. The picture quality is amazing. Vh1, Animax, BBC Entertainment!!! I can finally watch 'Dr. Who'. Man, I just saw Powerpuff Girls in english.It was good to hear it in their original voices again. ;)

After traveling through a lot of friends, I finally have possession of my Deathly Hallows copy. I'm re-reading it now.

And yes, the unit tests were fine. I passed all papers. I didn't study much for them anyway, so I didn't expect a lot.
