all is well…finally…
The last few days, I’ve been humming ‘Wherever I May Roam’ by Metallica ‘cos I could relate to it, but things have gotten better over the last 24 hours!
First off, I moved into a new flat which is amazingly spacious and though I’ll be paying a full month’s rent (and the probability of getting posted in Chennai next week is high), I think it’s worth it!
I’ve also started reading a book called ‘Empror of the Air’ which is amazingly profound considering it came from a 28 year old writer (back in 1985) and for once, it isn’t about existential angst. It’s about death mostly! 🙂
Swen’s buddy, Joe has started writing at Deus Ex Machina and I have to admit, he is pretty amazing…especially his reviews. Another friend of mine (she prefers anonymity) writes at Noconvolutions. Funny stuff!
My brother continues to make me feel like an old geezer with each passing day now. He interrupted one of my ‘loo reveries’ by calling up and saying that he had in his possession the films Pi, Requeim for a Dream and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (all of which I’m dying to see).
Anyway, will be watching The Departed tomorrow…should make up for the lousy week that was!
