The week that was
It started on last Sunday with a bad case of jitters over parallel park...for the uninitiated, I had my driver's test on Friday the 26th and I was frantically trying to make sure I could get done with it. This of course involves mastering parallel park, and that was where the concept was completely lost on me. I mean, its so logical, only if you hit the curb do you know for sure that you are close enough, otherwise you could be anywhere... Or so were my thoughts, and I bet everybody hits the curb every so often, that's how everybody parks so close to the curb and off the street, really! Its time the driving school people made it a requirement to hit the curb!
Anyway, so for the next 3 days, I parked anybody's and everybody's car, at all odd hours of the day and even dreamed of parallel parking, weirdly though, I was parallel parking scooters in my dream (?)
On Christmas eve, I had friends over, cooked from 3:00 in the afternoon till about 7:30 PM, was bored as hell with the cooking, but company of friends was fun.
On Christmas day, I went to the shelter and then I went to lab, was probably the only person around there.
I have decided never to do work on weekends or holidays. Because, it never works out! Everything I do on weekends always backfires and I end up creating twice the amount of work for myself. :(
Anyway, so I am now in Austin, happy days are here again. We watched Ghajini yesterday, the hindi version with Aamir Khan. I identified two roles of Aamir in the movie, the first half where he only grins sheepishly and sometimes shyly in response to everything that Asin says. And the next half, where he grunts and makes demonic faces. In the 90's this movie would have been marketed as one of those, Ghajini- unleash the devil within' and in the 80's as a reincarnation story or some possession story. Apart from cheesy music, and gore scenes with blood, there was not much to enjoy and the ending of the movie was stretched beyond the capacity of a rubber band with high polymerization degree.
