"Tell the chef, the beer is on me."
SOS Georgia (via englishrules & tomek)
This is for my Georgian friend, Anatoly. I miss hanging out with him. He’s too busy with his accounting job at a Big 4 firm.
Time to hit the gym! I’m hoping to burn at least 300 cals on the treadmill. And then come back home, cook dinner and watch a nice movie. And of course, look forward to the fact that it’s Friday tomorrow.
And oh, my stock’s back up…for now. :|
If you’re not happy with the default skin of Google Chrome, you can download alternative theme files. Go to Chromespot’s themes board and look for something you like; maybe the Firefox theme,…
Yes, ‘wer’He he he he..
You know what this reminds me of? Save the vowels - carocat.co.uk
Note to self, I need to find a banner about grammar. And that sort of rhymes which was unintended!
Or “am” instead of “I’m”. Pisses me off completely.
i came to work feeling groggy;
went to get coffee;
came back to my desk to find
a delicious chocolate chip cookie.
thank you, Patrick.
Reminds me of the brownies that are sitting in one of my drawers at work. Just for clarification purposes, my workplace neighbor bakes wonderful brownies. And these are hers. We steal them all the time. ;)
In the other news, our reporter have found the blogger of Time and Again alive at Bits-n-Crumbs on Tumblr. :D Few months ago, she mysteriously disappeared from BlogoSphere and was underground to date (at least for them who didn’t check her TumbleLog).
Anyway, there isn’t any comments feature in Tumblr, so I am safe. :D
Cheers
Haha! :-) Yeah, I’m alive. Just don’t have the time to write long posts at Wordpress and reply to your comments. Tumblr is a safer bet when I’m short on time- Just write stuff and not bother about comments. :P Thanks for checking on me!
What is it with people listing the gadgets that they own? Does that validate their presence somehow? Or makes up for their lack of social skills? Or perhaps puts them in the ‘cool’ crowd group.
I’m sick of people who update their blogs and then flash it in their Gtalk status- “Blog updated: http://blogname.com”. WTF.
People who never remember to return money, but don’t shy away from asking for more.
Or people who think that buying a bottle of Vodka liberates them from having to pay me back.
People who feel that they can drop by my place anytime they desire.
People who feel that it is okay to call me whenever they want to and that I SHOULD accept their calls. Always. Why?
Who want to tag along with me everywhere. All I need is some personal “space”.
Who borrow stuff and never return them.
Who type on my laptop keyboard with a very hard touch.
Who don’t help me clean the dishes after I spend hours making dinner.
Who ping me the minute I log into any chat messenger. Just because I’m Available doesn’t mean that I want to chat.
So many other things. Writing them will only piss me off further. Probably I’m PMSing.
My Team Lead made me very happy today! I’m happy that I’m finally settling in at work and that my hard work is being appreciated. I don’t want to write much about work, because this is a public blog and all. But yes, I’m very pleased.
Now, only if the stock market would fare a little better…this world would be a wonderful place to live in. ;)

“ It’s not about whether he’s healthy or not, it’s about perception. Stevie appears to be thin and weak. Therefore Apple’s company and stock must be like it’s CEO. One strong gust of wind and both Steve and Apple will be sent tumbling into the abyss. Steve looks the exact opposite of what a tough get-up-and-go executive supposed to look like. Don’t you see those commercials about hair loss and lack of virility? Steve could be a poster boy for those commercials. Investors like to see a tanned, muscular dude, with a head full of thick hair. Take someone like Lance Armstrong. Lance came back from cancer surgery and became a muscle-rippling superman. Bullets can’t stop him. If Lance Armstrong was Apple’s CEO, the stock would be over $200. What media butthead could point at Lance Armstrong and say the guy was dying. Lance would kick his ass. I have a feeling that it’s all about image. To WS and certain investors, Steve Jobs and Apple stock mirror one another. Both appear frail and ready to collapse. Steve joked about his own demise, but he should have cursed and reviled those evil FUDsters that let his obituary out on the internet. Steve Jobs would have to enter in a marathon and win it, then maybe, just maybe those media guys would shut the heck up and Apple’s stock would be stable as granite. ”— Someone in Google Finance AAPL discussion forum
“ The women getting children ready in tiny shorts and mini-ties on elastic bands were all sex workers. The children with their homework were the children of men who stayed five minutes for a “shot”. The cycle rickshaw men were pimps who’d found extra business when auto rickshaws drove down their income, the gas station men were also pimps, and so were the dhaba men. A 20 per cent or 30 per cent cut. The lorry drivers, the coolies were clients. Others in the street were “brokers”, some 300 of them. Men coming back with groceries were “temporary husbands”. The old lady at her gate was a brothel madam, haggling over the price of girls she was buying from desperately poor parents. Coloured Christmas stars over bungalows revealed a missionary drive to save the fallen. The policemen were slowing down, hoping to catch someone soliciting. They’d let her go again in exchange for free sex. ”—

I totally believe this. Having lived in India for more than 20 years of my life, I know what it is like. Sex trade is big and is here to stay. Not only the lorry drivers and the coolies, but also men from “good” homes can be seen.
Oh- only one-size-fits-all iPod classic- 120 GB-$249.
How many different versions of iPod can Apple possibly keep, before cannibalization kicks in? And I think it already has…
“ Let me get this straight: You think that your client, one of the wealthiest, most powerful men in the world, is secretly a vigilante who spends his nights beating criminals to a pulp with his bare hands and your plan is to blackmail this person? ”—
Lucius Fox [Morgan Freeman] in ‘The Dark Knight’. (via carocat)
Loved this movie and every single dialogue!
"Tell the chef, the beer is on me."
"Basically the price of a night on the town!"
"I'd love to help kickstart continued development! And 0 EUR/month really does make fiscal sense too...
