my eyes are dripping tiredness

however, I don’t feel very tired. I really don’t understand how it is that I am able to lead this weird dual life. my friend adam equated it to the original mods from the 50s and 60s. he said they used to have normal jobs(working 9-5) and look like business people - then after work they would transform into these fashion seeking scene people. right after my friend adam told me this he started s…

ahh sadness

I really didn’t realize it was truely happening until I read her entry about work and the disengagement from sait work. apparently I swear. but it is kinda weird to think about. becau…

last night was entertaining. I was planning on working at 12 - but then I call my coworker and she was like “oh no - you don’t have to work” - so I went out. then when I got home. india called and was like - “everything isn’t working how it is supposed to work” so I had to do a bunch of stuff until around 3:30. heh. then I slept until 10. it was nice. but doing this kills my sleep abilities.

so yesterday at work we watched the movie startup.com. it was pretty good. a quite sad story really. it made me want to be involved in a startup again. haha. I say agan like I was involved in one during the .com wars. I am a liar. I wasn’t. in fact I don’t even have arms.

bam. it is done.

Ok Ok. so I have been reading Anna Karenina. It is amazing. seriously - possibly one of the better books I have ever read. I am fascinated with how thorough Tolstoy covers the story. and how the story seemingly covers everything. it is soo good. I love the feeling of want that is associated with re…

the weekend.

as the weekend approaches.. I will be engaging in another weekend long sabbatical from the internet. but this time it will be a theoretical four days with a 1 day disappearing act when I come back. so you should send me crazy messages to my phone(thanks to those that sent me messages the past couple days), which will probably be on for the duration of th…

last night i took it easy

so last night vinay and myself hung around bangalore and went to different catholic churches. I met his wife and his mother and we just chilled out. it was nice and relaxing. I was in bed by 10 and asleep by 10:15. hah. the churches were pretty cool. they are all very majestic and quite something. it was as I expected - a mix of indian and western stylings. vinay’s favorite was the best …
