TGIF

Recap from past few cryptic cricket posts:-

Weekend Update

And so week 20 of the nocturnal shift begins. I hope this is where the buck stops so as to speak.

Had an awesome weekend. Got drunk as promised with my family on saturday.

Thanks to Orkut, met a class-mate of mine from high school for coffee on Sunday. We met after 7 yrs so it was nice to catch up.

TGIF

Today for a change I'm posting early Friday morning as opposed to late in the evening complaining abt all the work. I want to be optimistic abt things and that means looking ahead to the weekend.

I'm booked on Saturday cause that's when I'm planning to get drunk with my mama (mom's brother). Gonna be fun.

Planning a small re-union with buddies from high school. That should be fun as well. This is all due to orkut which has become the rage in Bombay.

I wish my buddies from facebook could be merged with peeps on orkut for a truly global friend circle thingie. Anyway I guess I'll have to be content for the time being with scraps from my desi buds.

From the Geocide department.

Its official. People have way too much free time on their hands.

These guys have a site dedicated to figure out ways to destroy the earth.

Someone, get these guys Civ IV or Counter Strike...

All in all, a relaxing weekend.

TGIF & Quotes of the Day

Usually I love Fridays.. scratch that train of thought. I still love em. But days like today make you reflect on all the reasons they are good.. cause today has been an insane ride filled with me fighting fires the whole day (figurative fires) and scheduling tons of work among the very few people at work who actually showed up today.

Baah.. it seems like people are always around when its fun and games. But when the going gets tough, the lazy and weak get going.

And on that note.. time for the quotes of the day. No theme today.

24 Theory
