Yay!

30-Jun-06

www.prakashandlisa.com — We’re pregnant! A couple of anecdotes about how I told people, and their reactions, just for fun: We told Mare and Michael first. Lisa and I were contemplating who we should tell first, and they of course came up first. I called, and told Mare, who was of course excited. She gave the [...]

Jaya is a Dork

30-Jun-06

But a thoughtful one. As my birthday present (we’re kinda late with these sorts of things) she got me a Sega Master System. With light gun. !!!!!!!! For those unaware, the SMS was the more powerful competitor to the NES. Better games (in my mind – minus mario of course) a heck of a lot [...]

Slow Day

27-Jun-06

I was planning to write a muthaf***as can’t drive post again, but it turns out the reason why I-95 was backed up was because of a fatal car accident. Read about it here. I wonder sometimes whether people have ‘premonitions’ before leaving the house – or is it just ‘today is another day?’ I’ve been [...]

Sweatshop Ipods?

26-Jun-06

I find this humorous in an ironic way: iPod maker admits breaking Chinese labour laws …only because, when you follow up on the mac ads, Apple is for the crunchy granola types. But on a more serious note, Apple knew of this and approved the type of work climate. If that isn’t evil corporation-esque, I [...]

Those Annoying Mac Ads

19-Jun-06

I couldn’t verbalize why the hell I found them so damned annoying, but here’s a good write up that is dead on: http://www.slate.com/id/2143810/fr/rss/ I was slowly but surely being worn down by Mac envy. These stupid ads have me entrenched in the PC side, again.

Finished!

16-Jun-06

I finished Splinter Cell. It was a release title for the xbox way back when. It was ultimately released on all platforms, but the best one by many sources is the xbox version, for good reason. I’m behind the times. And I’m also terrible at video games. It took me about 1.5 months to beat [...]

A Sad Day

16-Jun-06

My cousin has a child, her name is Saniya. In the Indian culture, while she’s my dad’s brother’s son’s little girl, we still treat her like a niece. We all do. She’s loved to death. Today, unfortunately, she’s going to India. Her parents aren’t staying with her. — It goes something like this. Young (Indian) [...]

Muthaf***as can’t drive!

13-Jun-06

Twice, slow traffic on the way to work because of ‘gaper’ delays. For those not familiar, it’s when motherf**kers feel the need to slow the f**k down to look at an accident, in an attempt to cause another one. There’s no reason to slow the hell down when the accident is on the other side [...]

Well, hell.

“Who has two thumbs and loves freedom? Me!” It makes me wonder why this person thought this was funny. Further, I have to wonder who laughed at it. I’m refering to last comic standing, where some schmuck thought this passed for comedy. It always amazes me that there are still funny jokes in the world. [...]

It’s Tuesday Night

06-Jun-06

It’s a great night. Because I have a ‘day off’ tomorrow. — So, it occurred to me that the guy asking for money standing not but 1 foot away from my open car door wasn’t the safest thing in the world. But, I’ve always felt (because I’ve been in a similar situation) that asking for [...]
