So... Its been a crazy long time since I had any updates. Rather since I wrote something. Well abot a month and a half ago, I had my in-laws visiting me for about 2 months. I guess I wrote something about them. And if not, A-town, take note, you are officially on my not-so-cool-cities list. I had a break in.. my poor baby of a car had a break-in...:(. Right I cant let go off it that easily.
Then right after this was done, we started looking out for used cars for S. That was a horrible experience. Cash for Clunkers.. schmunkers... all those lucky dogs on the streets with horrible cars were able to get the governments cash for new cars. What that did to the industry was a catastrophic nightmare. The sharks at the dealers were eying those lucky dogs. People like me n S who were out there trying to get a great deal on a used car, which on a normal business platform was not a big deal, were left high and dry.. literally .. dry.. (at this one dealer were all --can you believe it... ALL salesmen were busy dealing with customers for new cars!! .. no one could even offer us water after we checked out cars out in their lot under scorching heat of the oh so pretty sun). Boy do I digress. But seriously, any person, who had the fortune of visiting that car dealer on that day, would've left the place thinking: "uh .. what recession?".
Anyways, back to the reason why I've been so busy, now as if the car wasnt such a big issue, our stupid apartment community had to hike the rate on us. Her words "This place is oh-so-effing charming that you will have to cough up the additional amount I say or else leave!". So then the second mission we had was to find an apartment that we like, and that fits our budget. So, car and Apartment, no big deal. We kinda nailed it on the last weekend that we had available. But it was a harrowing experience.
So now finally after a long long time I have some free time in front of a pc and actually got the willpower to post something. I mean there are countless posts that are saved as drafts... occasionally I have the urge to write about something and then when I do start to write, the passion just fizzles. The point looks moot. The effort seems wasted. The post looks ... just that... a post. And it is, rightfully so, meant to be just that, a post. Its not that the world cares about what I feel about the shenanigans of the INC and Mr. Tharoor. Or for that matter, Obama's health care plan. Boy a couple of sentences back that was a whole load of commas for nothing.
So here goes... my list of what Ive been upto:
Movies watched: District 9, Inglorious Basterds, The "umpteenth" final destination, Julie and Julia, He's just not that into you, Sunshine Cleaning, Fast and Furious 4th, GI Joe, Transformers 2, Haunting in Connecticut, Kaminey and some more that I dont even remember.
Books read: Zilch... although I have bought "The Hobbit" I plan to start off with this one and then move on to the LOTR series, that will definitely buy me some time.
Drinks Had: Miller Lite, Guinness on the Draft, Blue Mojito, Awesome Mango and Berry Flavored Iced Tea at the Ruby Tuesday, Tequila, Jack and Coke, Baileys, Heineken.
Life pretty much goes on. Had some great weekends with some friends.
Oh btw, Id be fulfilling one of my dreams. Im going to U2's concert!!! Looking fwd to Oct 3rd.
