Right!


FINALLY got myself to sit down and put up another update. It's been awhile since I blogged, and I whole - heartedly blame GITEX for that. I've got a swell job working for the ESL at it's stall, where it's tied up with the organizers to create a gaming tournament. I've also made decent contacts and am looking into getting part time jobs in other places. More on that later.

I love people who contradict themselves. It's hilarious. I also love irony, have I mentioned that anytime?

I am traveling to India on the night of the 23rd, to attend a first cousin's wedding. Joy.

Is it just me or do I not update my twitter as much as other folks do.

The next 2 weeks might see a pause in regular updates due to my impending journey, however I should be able to update from India. We're tech - savvy there too, so it really shouldn't be a problem. I'd prefer to do it at a laptop though, but hey, beggars, choosers and all that.

I won some Gears of War 2 merchandise at GITEX today. The guys who own the stall that has GOW2 set up were so.. (looking for the right word here).. amused?.. that I'd be there for a few hours everyday, that they gave me a whole bunch of stuff. Should go along nicely with my bag. Barry got the same stuff too. He didn't deserve it though. He's not even a 360 fan!
GOW 2 comes out November 7th if I remember correctly, so give maybe a week to when it releases in Virgin over here. I'm gonna be right there with some pesos to get my copy. Unless I'm getting it as a present, then that would be some money saved.

Three songs. 'Stop and Stare' by One Republic and, 'Glycerine' by BUSH and 'Replacement Killers,' by The Chemical Brothers, refuse to leave my brain waves. Maybe it has to do with the fact that they're play at or around our stall all day. Which means I listen to them, collectively, for about 10 hours a day. That can't be good, right?

For some reason I've been quite busy lately. Not including the current time I spend at GITEX. Even for a good 2 weeks prior to GITEX, I've been swamped with University assignments and deadlines. It's like all our modules decided that the best deadlines were the ones that are within a day or two of each other. So we ended up having more than 4 deadlines in the past 2 weeks. Busy busy busy busy busy.

There are times that I wish Manipal University was more... cerebral. In fact, there are a lot of times where I think that. In fact, it's all the time. Walking down our nauseating corridors watching (smelling?) my peers around me. Some of them good, most of them not. I shudder at the thought of having to call some of these people as my peers. Damn.

I'm doing fine, thanks for asking!

*At this point I hear howling laughter from my brother's room. And it's still going on....*

Now I want to watch something funny. Hmm.....

*And there it is again...*

Ok, so I am going to defend the indefensible!

Traditionally Unis always have set deadlines that they want 10 things done yesterday, and I know it feels like they are putting a big broom where the sun doesnt shine but it actually prepares most people for real life..... or atleast that is my opinion!

btw - I submitted 6 assignments, a year long project, did 4 exams, while working 4 days a week over xmas in my second year (in about 20 days in total I believe). I couldnt sit for a while after all that had finished (if you know what I mean :D )
