Coming from an utterly chaotic real life to here and talking about trivial issues such as the weather is always so nice.

Thanks Aman, glad someone appreciates the Onion and stuffs – should I take it you’re a fan of the Daily Show too? 😉 I have only just gotten into it!

[boo]

I CANNOT get Tu Aashiqui Hai out of my head! 😐

HAHAHAHA you’re telling me! My friend next to me was laughing out loud because of the number of times I was jumping closing my eyes lmbo! I enjoyed the movie though. But I felt it could have flowed a lot more.. I think personally I felt the narrative was too jumpy. I would have liked a little more subtle nuances on how her mother was ruining her life and how she may have developed schizophrenia (I am diagnosing her with that… lol. I’m not sure what it actually is, but it’s definitely some form of delusion/paranoia). I felt like we were jumping in at the deep end a little bit and I wouldn’t have minded some intelligent cinematic navigation. Am I making any sense to anyone? 😕 lol. NP was awesome though, I loved her acting! The way she did the innocent roles were just too brilliant. More than the psychotic episodes, the innocent sweet scenes I felt required more effort and more conscious effort not to overplay and she did it BRILLIANTLY.

YES please watch DG. WHAT an amazing film. I can’t wait to buy it on DVD and analyse the crap out of it! <3 LOVE the film, and the more I think about it, the more I am falling in love with it. 🙂 Might even watch it a second time on the big screen… when I'm not feeling like being such a cheapskate or cheapstake or whatever it is lol.

And I just finished watching No Country For Old Men on my DVD rental and whooo. Interesting film. The beginning bored the shit out of me, and it took me 2/3 weeks to muster up the boredom and energy to finish the DVD. I’m glad I did, because it totally picked up pace afterwards. It got really gripping and interesting. But – and maybe it’s just me and I need to watch it again – why was this movie sooo amazing that it was Oscar-winning (I think? Or at least nominations.. there was definitely a lot of hoo ha about it though!) level? I kinda didn’t really feel it. It was a decent story, not brilliant and I didn’t think overly thought-provoking (yes, despite its content! Don’t want to say more as I don’t want to ruin it for others). Execution was well done. But I didn’t find it exceptional, I wasn’t blown away… 😕 Am I um, missing something here? Why is everyone in love with this movie?

[boo]

Don’t have one myself Aman, but I’m like you too – I like buying new books and the ‘earthy’ FEEL of a book. I saw someone on the bus the other day reading out of a Kindle or whatever it is Amazon are using, and I got all kinds of mad (in my head. lol.) at them. I was all like “huff puff, I LUG my books around and you GET them on this machine? How unnatural.. puh.” (Yes, I believe a nose of a certain Boo did go up into the air at some point! Oooops. :P)

Then I got thinking about it, and realised how HANDY it would be. This was also the day I was lugging around Shantaram (you’ve seen a copy of the book, you know how huge it is!) in my tiny (yes, blonde moment.. oh well. The bag looked pretty! I couldn’t help it!) bag and it was totally uncomfortable… on the bus, I was thinking how “HAH I’m LOYAL to my books I CARRY THEM AROUND HAH” LOL. But I was getting the point of the convenience of the e-reader or Kindle or ipad or whatever the fancy schmancy gadget is. I thought about how it would actually make my life a lot easier…

I guess it depends how often you read, really.. and I get what you mean about not being sure which book to read, too. I don’t actualy know many people with Kindles or stuff either, I’m guessing this is kinda a relatively new phenomenon? (But then again, books and reading seem to be becoming a relatively old phenomenon! Or is it just me :S) Do your friends have any? What do they think?

[boo]

Hahahaha Aman sweets I have to share something with you (and everyone else of course ) that I was reading the other day… read through it all, it made me laugh out loud!

Diary of a Snow Shoveler

Author unknown

December 8: 6:00 PM.

It started to snow. The first snow of the season and the wife and I took our cocktails and sat for hours by the window watching the huge soft flakes drift down from heaven. It looked like a Grandma Moses Print. So romantic we felt like newlyweds again. I love snow!

December 9:

We woke to a beautiful blanket of crystal white snow covering every inch of the landscape. What a fantastic sight! Can there be a more lovely place in the Whole World? Moving here was the best idea I’ve ever had. Shoveled for the first time in years and felt like a boy again. I did both our driveway and the sidewalks. This afternoon the snowplow came along and covered up the sidewalks and closed in the driveway, so I got to shovel again. What a perfect life.

December 12:

The sun has melted all our lovely snow. Such a disappointment. My neighbor tells me not to worry, we’ll definitely have a white Christmas. No snow on Christmas would be awful! Bob says we’ll have so much snow by the end of winter, that I’ll never want to see snow again. I don’t think that’s possible. Bob is such a nice man I’m glad he’s our neighbor.

December 14:

Snow lovely snow! 8″ last night. The temperature dropped to -20. The cold makes everything sparkle so. The wind took my breath away, but I warmed up by shoveling the driveway and sidewalks. This is the life! The snowplow came back this afternoon and buried everything again. I didn’t realize I would have to do quite this much shoveling, but I’ll certainly get back in shape this way. I wish I wouldn’t huff and puff so.

December 15:

20 inches forecast. Sold my van and bought a 4×4 Blazer. Bought snow tires for the wife’s car and 2 extra shovels. Stocked the freezer. The wife wants a wood stove in case the electricity goes out. I think that’s silly. We aren’t in Alaska, after all.

December 16:

Ice storm this morning. Fell on my ass on the ice in the driveway putting down salt. Hurt like hell. The wife laughed for an hour, which I think was very cruel.

December 17:

Still way below freezing. Roads are too icy to go anywhere. Electricity was off for 5 hours. I had to pile the blankets on to stay warm. Nothing to do but stare at the wife and try not to irritate her. Guess I should’ve bought a wood stove, but won’t admit it to her. God I hate it when she’s right. I can’t believe I’m freezing to death in my own living room.

December 20:

Electricity’s back on, but had another 14″ of the damn stuff last night. More shoveling. Took all day. Goddamn snowplow came by twice. Tried to find a neighbor kid to shovel, but they said they’re too busy playing hockey. I think they’re lying. Called the only hardware store around to see about buying a snow blower and they’re out. Might have another shipment in March. I think they’re lying. Bob says I have to shovel or the city will have it done and bill me. I think he’s lying.

December 22:

Bob was right about a white Christmas because 13 more inches of the white shit fell today, and it’s so cold it probably won’t melt till August. Took me 45 minutes to get all dressed up to go out to shovel and then I had to piss. By the time I got undressed, pissed and dressed again. I was too tired to shovel. Tried to hire Bob who has a plow on his truck for the rest of the winter; but he says he’s too busy. I think the asshole is lying.

December 23:

Only 2″ of snow today. And it warmed up to 0o. The wife wanted me to decorate the front of the house this morning. What is she nuts!!! Why didn’t she tell me to do that a month ago? She says she did but I think she’s lying.

December 24:

6″. Snow packed so hard by snowplow, l broke the shovel. Thought I was having a heart attack. If I ever catch the son of a bitch who drives that snowplow, I’ll drag him through the snow by his balls. I know he hides around the corner and waits for me to finish shoveling and then he comes down the street at a 100 miles an hour and throws snow all over where I’ve just been! Tonight the wife wanted me to sing Christmas Carols with her and open our presents, but I was busy watching for the goddamn snowplow.

December 25:

Merry Christmas. 20 more inches of the !=3D@x@!x!x1 slop tonight. Snowed in. The idea of shoveling makes my blood boil. God I hate the snow! Then the snowplow driver came by asking for a donation and I hit him over the head with my shovel. The wife says I have a bad attitude. I think she’s an idiot. If I have to watch “It’s a Wonderful Life” one more time, I’m going to kill her.

December 26:

Still snowed in. Why the hell did I ever move here? It was all HER idea. She’s really getting on my nerves.

December 27:

Temperature dropped to -30o and the pipes froze.

December 28:

Warmed up to above -50. Still snowed in. THE BITCH is driving me crazy!!!!!

December 29:

10 more inches. Bob says I have to shovel the roof or it could cave in. That’s the silliest thing I ever heard. How dumb does he think I am?

December 30:

Roof caved in. The snow plow driver is suing me for a million dollars. The wife went home to her mother. 9″ predicted.

December 31:

Set fire to what’s left of the house. No more shoveling.

January 8:

I feel so good. I just love those little white pills they keep giving me. Why am I tied to the bed?

Oh, and I just rediscovered The Onion again… MAJOR procrastination time, here I come 😈 😉

*hug*

Rome wasn’t built in a day, not everything needs to fall into place right away my sweet. Take each day as it comes and something as “trivial” (not that jobs are trivial, but in the bigger, bigger scheme of life… y’know) as a job, you can always find a way back, you will find yourself with a job don’t worry (and yes, I am touching wood for you 😛 ). Let your sorrow ease and soul rest and somehow, whenever, something will click and it will all fall into place. And yes, keep job hunting and as Rani said, try calling the company back too 😛

love.

[boo]

Also: just watched the trailer for Tanu Weds Manu and totally thought of you!! Looks ueber dueber cool – CANNOT WAIT!

I daresay Kangana Ranaut will impress me in this movie. And ooooooh Madhavan. <3 <3 <3

[boo]

Watched Black Swan yesterday, loved it, but felt it was JUST A LITTLE BIT underdeveloped storyline. I wanted to see better, smoother transition from good Nina to bad Nina but oooh what a movie!

Aman – WATCH DHOBI GHAT! I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. But if y’are, ssshhh 😛 hehe

[boo]

Is it Mukesh’s birthday today? It says Admin’s birthday today? If so, many happy returns Mukesh! 🙂

I really, REALLY randomly got the urge to really, REALLY randomly go to a huge stonking architecturally pretty library filled with lots of books (duh) and lots of awesome people (duh). Does anyone know which are considered the best libraries in the world? I remember once going to an NYC library (I’ll be damned if I can remember the name!), and just falling in *love*. I’m sure it’s not all as dreamy as it looks but I could really, REALLY do with dreamy right now!! 😯

[boo]

Nessa thanks so much, I absolutely needed to hear that! <3 And haha, I was trying to work out the 'Be still BEautiful' part lol… apologies pretty lady, I still don't get it! 🙁 I'm slow today, I need explanations for everything lol. 🙁
