Since (yes, yes, I am aware that it is not right to start a sentence, let alone a new blog post with "since" but then it's my blog ha ha ) I just finished re-watching "Lord of the Rings" - this time the extended edition of the DVDs - over the past week, and re-affirmed that it is one of the best stories I've read, I decided to pay tribute to Tolkien by using random words from His books as the titles to my posts. Thank you, great sire! Your creativity completely overwhelmed me while I read the books and has blessed many an idle afternoon of mine with its ample food for thought and daydreaming. From Fangorn to Lothlorien to Ithilien, from Rohan to Mordor to Gondor, I've pondered some happy hours away. Seriously, if someone finds a portal to Middle Earth, it would be a sin to not let me know.


On another note, Corningware entered my life, full of promise, but now it seems like it will come to naught. I finally decided to move past my old grad student-like tupper/plastic ware and get some real cookware. Well, store ware at least. So I went to the store y'day and bought me some Corningware. Having arrived at home, I discovered that what I'd bought was just one, not a set of two as I'd imagined, dish with a lid and also that it was much bigger than what I'd wanted. Now, how can I be so misled when it mentions both the quantity and dimensions of the containers on the box?'Cause I think I zoned out after reading some 20 labels in that section of the store. It often happens. Well, to be fair, I don't think it would have helped at all if I fully registered the dimensions of the corningware when I bought it. I have no idea of estimation - whatsoever. No idea. Yes, I am an engineer. No, I don't know how.

And now : Now for wrath! Now for ruin! And a red dawn! Forth Eorlingas!

Stop - couldn't help it. Had to say that - it's been in my head all evening. And now to bed :-)

Metronome

I'm chasing after you in the gathering dusk, you're racing far ahead, fading into the sunset. Can't catch up to you, can't hold on to you, always looking back, wondering when I first lost you. And this sand in the hour glass, it's rushing fast. This river of continuum, it gushes past. The clock unwinds, the moon tugs the tides, while I'm caught in between what was and will be. So I'm letting go, I'm tired of the chase I'll find some peace in this moment's embrace. Just take my hand in yours, let's run to the daybreak and burst into this life, finally awake. Finis

fractious

It's been a good set of days. The week itself was fun, what with hanging out with folks on Wed - and before I forget, here's a shout out to "S" and "Y" for reading/pretending to read by blog and requesting to star in it ;-) - and watching "Up" the next day with the usual gang (awesome movie!). P was flying in on Friday and a few hours before his departure from O, it was decided that we would attempt to hike up Mt.Washington. As usual it was a slightly imbalanced plan. Late Friday night, I set out to pick him up from the hour-away airport. Somehow this turned into a road trip for 3 of my concerned friends. Suffice to say that there were bad jokes a plenty and some rather interesting conversation. Randomness abounds in my life. Anyways, it was around 2 am by the time we crashed and I actually managed to be up by 6.30 am the next morning. By 8.30 we were showered, breakfasted and packed and P was armed with enough stuff to survive a hurricane and live

It happened! The first celebrity sighting in a long long time. Obama and his daughters. They were at my place and I was figuring out their sleeping arrangements along with my brother and sis-in-law. OK, so you must know that this was in my dream. I must say it's one of the wackiest dreams I've ever had. I was stressing out last night on the whole iPhone vs Blackberry Storm before I went to bed and so it follows that early this morning I dreamt that Mr.O and his daughters were visiting me, my bro and my s-i-l. It was funny. There we were, 3 hosts and 3 guests and we had this one room where I was trying to arrange all the beds and sleeping bags so everyone could sleep comfortably. My sister in law was fretting about making sure every one was comfortered and my bro was a little sleepy and grumpy and I just wanted them all to settle down and go to sleep. The biggest problem somehow was where Aliana (that was his younger daughter's name in the dream) would sleep - not sure why.
