Hunger pangs
Time: 12:04 A.M

Its been ages since I felt a midnight hunger pang. I'm right now watching "Small Town Girl" (1936) whilst feasting on some yummy blueberry cafe scones. Say there's nothing like a good classic coupled with a midnight munch for the tired and the bored.

Mood: Contemplative
Song: Strawberry fields forever (Artist: The Beatles)

If I ever wrote fan mail to anybody on earth, it would be only to him and perhaps worded like this:


Dearest lizard king,

Belated many happy returns of the day. You still rock my world (in your "after life" too) !

RIP.

Yours
S

Snow...

It has snowed non-stop for 48 hours and there is a snow advisory in effect till 5:00 A.M morrow according to the weatherman. Feels like winter in Boulder, Colorado now....

Sigh, my itinerary of things to do just got blown away. Thats alright, I guess it is nature's way of telling stop, wait, watch and proceed while I entertain myself watching back to back Christmassy movies on 43 LIFE.

Mood: Penitent
Song: Like a prayer (Artist: Madonna)

Are you ready???????

24 hours later: Still reeling with BBall madness, though today it is "Go Dirk" (or must I say "Go DeSagana Diop" [right now] looking at the way the Mavs are playing).

Mood: BBall madness
Song: Thats the way aha aha I like it (Artist: K.C and the sunshine band).

Kobe scored the first basket of the game. No surprises...

Time: 7:40
Kobe's down on the floor with a left shoulder injury. Is that it???

Time:8:10
Nearing half time. It looks like a tough fight. Kobe's down with 3 personal fouls and so is Lamar Odom. Allen Iverson is playing the one man Nuggets game. I wish their defense was a tad better.

The Pepsi centre in Denver is a great place to watch a game. The crowd was boring in the beginning, but as the game took its own twists and turns the crowd got more enthused.
It was my first game experience and club seats made it all the more merry. Thanks to the "Seagators" for this experience and spl. thanks to the LA Lakers for making it more merry with their win.

Sleepless nights...

Why? No its not because I am ill (mentally or physically), but mother nature of all people/things is to blame for it. I did not sleep a wink last night because winds at 45-70mph were howling outside my apt. All I could hear were my windows and the balcony door rattling. I decided at 2:30 at night that I might as well learn something about these crazy winds because I already knew that the Chinooks were to blame for this dismal state. Here's some useful information about Chinook winds.

Somebody even seems to have it on video!!!!



Around 4:30 some sleep caught on me, but when I woke up two hours later, I could still hear the winds howling outside my place.
Last night reminded me of one of my first few days when I arrived in Boulder. Those were the eeriest of all days in my life. I had to battle blizzards, Chinook winds, new settlement effects and loneliness all at once!!!
[Aside - I am an air sign. I love the feel of wind on my face, but the Chinooks are a little too much to handle for even the airiest of all air signs...Sigh. They say Chinook means "snow eater" in ancient lingo. I would say it sounds more like a maneater.]
Besides all this, I've been doing the shop till you drop routine. Can't wait to go back home....
If someone can share some pointers on to how to battle windy nights .... please let me know!
