Rediscovered Hobby

So, yesterday HB (real name protected for privacy reasons lol) gave me a novel to read. He did not do this out of the kindness of his heart, it was to shut me up for a few minutes so he could continue with is fantasy football game and to verify if the book was worth reading. After much begging and grovelling   I decided to give it a try. The name of the book is Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman. It is about a man living an ordinary life in London and about to encounter some extra ordinary experience bla bla bla. ( Cover of the book courtesy google search ) You didn't really think I was going to give you the full story, did you? The truth is I am just on page 100 right now but I hope to finish soon then I can give my review of the book and if it was worth my time.  So far, the book is quite interesting and I cant wait to finish it. Its one of those books you want to read fast and yet slow so that the joy of it does n...

The list

I told myself this year would be different. I would be more serious with my research, make new friends, make small talk with the weird creepy guy in the office across, eat less junk, shop less, be more attentive to my boss and supervisors, be more caring and compassionate, give more, drink less, exercise often, do one new thing every day ................

I've started with the research and I must say its going not really on point but at least I've written one sentence. I've trie...

The journey so far

Hi all Sorry all I know its been a long time since a wrote. Happy new year, 2011 is over and 2012 is almost gone but hey who is complaining? The thing is nothing much has been happening in my life. There has been some sort of truce between my supervisor and I, on the home front there has not been any drama and generally things have been going on smoothly. The above paragraph is what I would want to happen but its so not true. There has been so much drama that I developed ulcers from worrying. Can you believe that, ulcers because of someone else? No it is not because of a guy, I have never had man-problems some how that aspect of my life goes quite smoothly and is always fun.

In order not to be killed by people whose names I will not mention, I can not go into details the cause of the ulcers. Lets just say there was shouting, names calling and the silent treatment. I wish I was th...
