Hanging onto promises and songs of yesterday
In one of the blogs that I follow, I found this excellent video clip. It’s all hi-tech with a Terminator meets Transformers feel to it. It’s the great PC vs Mac war – watch two opposing laptops transform into robots and kick the crap outta each other. Totally awesome. Just imagine if this is what really happens!!
Today was an ok day work wise. I was in meetings for a long time but I still felt it was productive; it’s for a review on Monday. Our work is going on well except for a run in with the biggest asshole manufactured out of West Bengal. That fucker is a Waste Bengali not West Bengali.
I bought some peanuts on my way home from the bus stop and while munching on them, something popped into my head that I was watching recently (although it has absolutely no connection): In Friends, the tv guide comes to Joey & Chandler’s apartment as they have a subscription. However, in perfect Chandler manner, it is subscribed under the name “Ms. Chanandler Bong”!
This reminded me of when I was abouut 11-14 years of age. My cousin Manoj the list dvd used to send me letters under the name “Jonam Rian” which is his name Manoj Nair backwards. So I replied back to him under the name “Nahsor Lapog Nanhsirk”. I think I mainly used “Nahsor Lapog”.
Silly things we did as kids.
