A very passable day...

As I continue to write in this blog of mine, posts are getting more and more agonizing. I was cursing an uncle of mine, who "helped" me buy an assembled desktop computer during my first days in Bangalore. It wasn't till a year that I realized how the assembler guy, had cheated me. I went out to buy a video/graphics card today, so that ubuntu would not look as bulky as it does now. I spent 1300 bucks in buying something that simply does not fit into the allocations. I can proudly announce that I use an antique computer. The hardware is absolutely outdated, considering that it was the height of sophistication in 2004, when it was actually assembled. It was in 2006 that they were relieved to sell it to me. The amount that I have spent on it till date, replacing parts, and optimizing it, so that it can work, has totalled up to almost double of what I paid back them. I could have got myself a darn good lappy even back then at this price. BESCOM cut off lines for 4 hours today...

A very sleepy day...

Its been a very sleepy day for me today. I woke up thrice today, as funny as it may seem. Once at 4 o clock, the next at 8 40, and then finally at 10 30. Having breakfast and lunch together has become mainstay for me nowadays. I had been having a bit of a tummy problem, so carefully chose to have a veg puff, rather than its eggy cousin. I don't really know what is bloody wrong with the electrical supply guys in Bangalore, who call themselves BESCOM.There was power outage four times today, each for an hour. Adding to that, the internet was down as well, due to power failure at one of their control centres or whatever they call them. Bloody city this, Bengalooru. Ended the day with a big Andhra Mils,("Mils" is what they call them, and they think that's how you pronounce meal, or they'll serve you fish instead). I just watched Quantum of Solace for I guess the tenth time, and I'm getting ready for bed. Oh wait! I forgot to add this in... I slept again from 2 30...
