Mid-exam Ramble

Things are very weird in the head right now...so I'm just going to ramble in bulleted points:
  • I hate the Bombay Univ. I wont be able to go and watch the final ODI here in Bombay cos I have an exam the next day (a postponed exam). Its been 4 years since Bombay's seen an ODI.
  • I hate the Bombay Univ. I missed the following incredible sporting events / will miss them:
    • Federer losing...and a final at that. Seeing is believing.
    • Ronadinho getting a standing ovation at the Santiago Bernabaeu after El Magnifico went 3-0 to Barca. For the uninitiated, a Barcelona player getting a standing ovation at Real's home turf is like anyone getting one at Galatasaray, or Tana Umaga getting one at the Colonial stadium, or for you cricket lovers; Inzamam getting one at the Wankhede - IT DOESN'T HAPPEN.
    • The All Blacks getting a hard fought 23-19 win over the English. Only Scotland to go and they go undefeated since the Tri-Nations began...WOW.
    • The ODI in Bombay...did I mention that I hate the Bombay Univ?
    • The All Blacks - Scotland game.
    • Missed watching Lara scratch to a double-hundred this morning...caught some bits of it though. Tomorrow morning he should go past Border's tally. (12 runs away overnight. The man continues to show he's God)
  • Looking forward to the guitar. It's going to be the GRG 170 or the 270, depending on how each feels in my hand. If anyone has any dope on import tariffs on electrics...kindly let moi know.
  • Starting to write some songs...not able to come up with any lyrics. Ok...I did come up with some..but they're terribly corny. No free mental time thanks to this exam.I hate the Bombay Univ.
  • Got my photos dumped like *$&% today at the monthly PSI thing. This is going to take some effort.
  • Picked up 2 books courtesy the Crossword vouchers from Campion. The Art of War (Lun Tzu) and Sophie's World (Jostein Gaarder). Anna - you may not cringe at the 2nd one...you had to return 'our' copy!!!
  • Just realised I'm not missing College life as I know it very much anymore. Is this what heaven feels like? (I seem to hear a reply saying 'no'. Hmm... Some neighbours are very cruel..or was that a Kite?)
Right that's it. Comment, initiate discussion...do what you please. Thank you all.
Oh yeah - George Best finally died today. About time...though it's always sad to see sportsmen pass away. There's just something about them.
Oh oh oh...watched bits of this movie called 'Wimbledon'. Don't know what happens in the final, but the semis is played on some lousy outside court...2 or 18. I think its 2. The protagonist serves like I would with my left hand in 'action sequences'. What's more - there are guys who slide on the grass to get to balls. When did you last see someone slide on the green stuff????

Ok...now that's really it.

2 down and 2 to go. Have a bone to pick the Bombay Univ...again. But that can wait. Maybe I'll let the HC CJ or the VC have the pleasure of that.
