The < insert expletive here > weekend

Ever heard of the abbreviation klpd? No? You could read the urbandictionary link or better, read this post to fully understand its meaning.

I have long tried to follow the policy of using as few expletives as possible on the blog. But I have to write about the weekend just gone by, I would end up filling the whole page up with the choicest words in my vocabulary. But still, let me try.

It started on Saturday morning. We had booked tickets for the morning show of "The Dark Knight". We got up at bloody 7:30am on a Saturday and hopped through buses, trains, autos to reach Imax only to find that they had cancelled the show fearing some f***ing bandh! The whole city was absolutely normal. Every damn shop was open. There was no bandh. But anyway, we came back laughing at our bad luck.

I didn't think much about it. Just a bad day, I thought and brushed it aside. I should have known better.

I had been looking forward to the rock walk on Sunday for a long time. I managed to persuade Apoc to come along. So, after a horrible one hour in a hopelesly crowded bus, we reached the starting point for the walk about 20 minutes late to find absolutely no one there. People had already left. We had missed it. So we roamed around and wasted some more time and came back empty handed.

So that was the story of one great weekend. This whole working life has made weekends too important. There's too much pressure to go out and do something, too many expectations. And when nothing happens according to the plan, I have all the right to be frustoo like I am right now.

Now that I have let it all out, I feel better. I can work now.

The quirky tag

This one came from Lord. Sitting in the office on a Saturday afternoon, after a major chot in the morning, this is the second best thing to do. The first best thing is to chat with Apoc about the most bizarre things in the universe. Do keep checking that link to Apoc's blog for his much anticipated post about our current obsession with lolcats and lolspeak.

Here is a set of quirky things about me:

1. Females with nice upper arms and shapely, delicate ears totally turn me on. I have been mocked for this several times. But I often find myself unconsciously straining my neck to take a look at somebody's ears/ear-rings.

2. I am a maniacal list maker. To-do lists, to-carry lists, to-not-forget lists, I make them all. And quite often forget to carry them along.

3. I have numbers going around in my head all the time. Squares, cubes etc. I can't help thinking how I could represent a particular number as sum or difference of only squares.

4. I'm a total sucker for blue, basic, straight cut jeans. I already have 4 different shades and would love to have more.

5. When I like something, I tend to overdo it. Kill it. It could be a song I play in a loop for 2 days straight, or a TV show whose episodes I watch one after the other, whose lines I quote in conversations, whose events I keep thinking about all the time.

Current obsession is of course, lolspeak.

6. I really like chocos. Is that weird?

My list of tag victims:
Bose, Sharat and SidKC. Can't think of anyone else who isn't taken by now.

Oh I forgot, I'm supposed to put the rules of the tag:

1. Link the person who tagged you. (Check)
2. Mention the rules on your blog. (Check)
3. Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours. (Check)
4. Tag 6 following bloggers by linking them. (Can't check)
5. Leave a comment on each of the tagged blogger’s blogs letting them know they’ve been tagged. (Not checked. Who would be jobless enough to do this?)
