no.28 or Of Chocolates and Glue - 10/13/2003

Well, am very very sleepy right now. The hash chocolates I had yesterday
have bombed me so badly I can barely keep my eyes open. Yesterday was fun
but also just a teeny bit scary. The level of bombedness was over the line.
Still,quite a nice trip. Now, am just waiting for some strong coffee and
some hot food.

Well, those damn chocolates were quite the trip. Yesterday I had a hard
time remembering what a vaccum cleaner was called. "umm... that sucking
thingy you use to clean stuff. damn! whats the word for it?"

I suppose my brain cells are not replacing themselves fast enough. No
more! No More I say! I think I'll take a break for some time. Or atleast
till the weekend.

Work is going on quite nicely. I'm generally feeling quite happy even
though the hours are quite killing.

I finished the House Of Chains yesterday. Not as mindblowing as Memories
of Ice but still pretty damn good. The entry of karsa Orlong into the
malazan worldalone is worth the price of the book. Superb charectarisation
and he gets all the best lines in the book.

In other news, we have an old fashioned iron bell at home that is used as a
door bell. Its big, heavy and has a wonderful chime to it. Today when I went
home in the afternoon and rang the damn thing, I got a sort of buzz on
theleft top side of my forefinger. A slight prickly sensation still
persists especially when i run a finger over the affected area. I wonderhow
that happened. The prickly sensation has greatly reduced now.

Today morning I was in a long boring meeting. Somewhere around the 30th
minute of the meeting, the very tip of my nose started to itch. Believe me,
Dear Diary, it itched so badly that after a while I could not take it. I ran
out of the meeting and started to furiously scratch my nose in front of
about 15 people. Not a smart thing to do I can tell you.

We're re-carpetting the first floor at work and the whole damn place smells
of industrial strength glue. No prizes for guessing where I'm sitting right
now Dear Diary. Which reminds me, I need to source some more of those
heavenly chocolates for the weekend. Good me! What a trip.

In other news ... there is none.
