I've been baiting this gay woman who works with me constantly. Like most gay people, she likes to think of herself as the sole authority on most subjects. Grin, i don't see why straight or sexually inhibited people should be excluded or sidelined from the general tapestry of opinions. She has taken to hooting at me, my boss is rather paternal ( Read more... )

i was having this conversation with the peripatetics. This strange group of people are all very odd and weird. One of the few other women who joins us occasionally, defines us as "so kooky, intellectual, the kind of crowd who between them can fly a helicopter, use heavy machinery, speak 17 languages,know everything about fig wasps and their ( Read more... )

I'm on my early week, i leave home around 7 to get in at 7:50. It is the only week in 6 that i have to. Ends up being quite long, as i don't get out until about 17:30 with about 15 minutes for lunch. The infy kids are now being asked to start at 7 am instead of 8, which is causing them much stress. Its funny being on the side of the oppressive ( Read more... )

Most of the desi crowd at work are wearing grim expressions with ndtv and ibn screens lurking somewhere on their two screen panorama. It is so horrible. I couldn't sleep on wednesday night. I've only been in Mumbai twice. Both times on work, other than random kindnesses from the Tata guest house cook and driver it would have been rather boring and ( Read more... )

After vun week holiday, what have i accomplished? Made pavakkai pickle and since then the dutch man has refused to eat things i randomly offer up like temple prasadam on tip of spoon. Heeheee ( Read more... )

Oh lordy, what a blood bath it has been. The city is collapsing under the curse of ill-gotten gain and taking the helpless with. Every day we wait and bide our time to bite the dust. T my rustic Essexian dog walking companion asks me (the so called financial insider,  much rolling of eyes) if  her bank and carefully saved spare cash is going under ( Read more... )

Realised how i miss happy endings, especially for celebrities i kinda like. They usually are bereft, tortured souls who live alone and take pot shots at visitors with elephant guns. Been watching Walk the line, man-ay. Its such a lovely movie. I don't see the point in reviewing movies everybody else has watched by the time i see them on Lovefilm ( Read more... )

When i was much smaller. Both vertically and horizontally. We lived next to some very mixed race people. They had flavours of chorizo, fish, turmeric and red hot chilly. I still come over all silly with feeling of inexplicable tenderness when i see a long, lanky white haired frame similar to that of the patriarch of that family. This man must have ( Read more... )

This is one of the best gadgets i've owned for a long time. Always have a glut of fruit and the good stuff from the allotment and the much peed on and pooped on berry canes in our backyard this time of year. I had friends over yesterday, slightly mad Ozzie folks. And i made them compare home grown strawberry with shop bought strawberry, home grown ( Read more... )

Insomnia is mundane now. I stay up thinking so hard. My head hurts from the over wrought thought processing. As well as the lack of sleep. Doc has given me prescription to fall asleep. Being the absent minded nut that i am when it comes to self medication i forgot to have any ( Read more... )
