Friday the 14th

I was going to title this post something entirely different, but then, after Friday actually came in all its uneventfulness, I decided not to. It was, I can definitely say, one of the lousiest days of school ever. By lousy, I guess I just mean boring. Nothing happened. At all. We had only one teaching period, and while that is normally a good thing, since I didn't end up doing anything fun anyway, it wasn't really.

Then I was called for this Japanese trip thing, but I can't go because my passport's expired and I suppose it won't be ready in time (the teacher wasn't even prepared to accept anyone without a valid passport). I got pretty bugged because of this because I've really wanted to go to Japan for a long time.

I also started reading iWoz. Somehow, all the non-fiction books I read (and I really don't read much non-fiction) always end up being tech-related ... well, almost always. But this one is quite interesting and it's definitely a welcome break from the Wheel of Time series. Not that I don't like WoT, but after 10 books and somewhere around 7,000 pages, there comes a point where you start looking for a change. For most people, the point comes a lot sooner though. Actually, most people get scared when they see the number of books in the series and the size of each. I mean, what I've read so far (and I haven't finished the series, by the way) is 7 times The Lord of the Rings! And people say that book is fat!

:D
:(

No way! No fair!

Iron Maiden's coming to India AGAIN! And they're coming in February (or March) AGAIN!
Why the hell can't they come when we don't have exams?

The concert is titled "Somewhere Back In Time" because it's a visit to the past. They'll be playing songs from the pre-90s (upto Seventh Son of a Seventh Son), which is basically when most of the golden songs were made.

Beast over Bangalore

It's been really long since I've known this - just never got around to posting about it (especially since it wasn't exactly good news from my point of view). Anyway, ladies and gentlemen, for those of you didn't know, Eddie is coming to India!

It was just recently that I was wondering - without much hope - how cool it would be if Iron Maiden came to India (without much hope because when you live here, you don't dream that such things could actually happen). And then, when I came to know that they were coming, I got all excited, but then I saw this:

See what I mean? First of all, for some unbelievably stupid reason they're playing in Bangalore of all places, and secondly it's smack-in-the-middle of our boards! Really sad ... because it's gonna be great - they're air-freighting 20 tonnes of equipment for the concert, including a whole stage (thus turning hopeless dreams into reality :) ).

They recently played in Dubai - the highlight of which was that they brought a whole freakin' tank to the concert!

Anyway, I hope it comes on TV at least ...

Merry Christmas

Okay, first of all, here's wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas.



Now, second of all, there is really nothing to be really merry about, as far as
I can see.
1. We didn't celebrate. Not that I really celebrate, but not even a simple Christmas tree or anything this time.
2. I haven't celebrated for the past 2 years.
3. Our pre-boards are starting soon. Too soon.
4. Blogger is out of beta (That's the good bit). It refuses to let me switch (that's the bad bit)

Anyway...

PS. I love Firefox's SpellCheck feature
