That's it

After a long long time, I felt like writing something down. And that's it. I actually don't have anything to write about right now. Part of the reason for my absence from this place, the other part being a total absence of interest. I even reached a point where I thought of deleting this damn thing! But unlike some people I just don't have the heart to do it. I mean I spent a lot of time on this thing and it holds a lot of memories, both good and bad, some even ugly.

What have I been up to lately? Nothing really. Sometimes work and that's about it. Bah! I didn't think it was possible but I'm actually bored of the telly. There's nothing of any interest whatsoever, just a bunch of TRP spinning crap. Music channels don't have any music, news channels don't have any news, movie channels are in a re-run cycle for the record books, sports has had an overdose of T20, the kind that kills you. The only solace is my laptop, a bunch of good movies and tv shows like HIMYM and 2 1/2 Men. Books? Is that what kids are calling it nowadays? No? Then i haven't heard of it. I gotta get me one of those.

My latest obsession is to do with spending money, a lot of it in a single transaction. Just bought a new phone for my brother and since then have been lusting after one for myself too. Have done extensive research on the subject and have it narrowed down to a couple of choices with the usual issues, one is available but a tad expensive and the one that falls within the bracket is not out yet. And I even know that as soon as I buy one, a better and cheaper one is gonna hit the stands. Boohoo!

The person to whom I was narrating this dilemma told me to do something nasty to myself, forget about getting a phone and buy something useful which I don't already have, like a camera. I remember how badly I wanted one and just the thought of it has made me flush the phone research down the drain. Back to the drawing board and I've already made pretty good progress. I hereby solemnly swear to buy a camera and only a camera for my next single high valued transaction instead of a shiny new phone or any other gadget like an iPod, which is totally awesome by the way and my preferred mode of writing blog posts these days, like this one right here. I prefer it over the normal keyboard because it's slower and gives me more time to think about what I want to write, sometimes even stretching over a period of days, and did I mention that it's awesome? You should buy one, and once you've used it to your heart's content, jailbreak it and then use it at a whole new level!

OK this post has been brewing in the notes of my pod for almost 4 days now, and within that time I've gone from being phone obsessed to camera crazy! Phones don't require even close to the same amount of research that a camera requires. It is literally a pain in the neck if you are on a fixed budget, even if you're not it's still pretty damn confusing!

OK well over 6 days now and I think enough is enough. BTW, bought the camera :D
