Just said goodbye to Jill via MSN. Here’s hoping she has a safe journey there and back. (Tracy and I especially would like to see her back, a sentiment which has nothing whatsoever to do with the contents of her luggage).

Was I missed much?
Apologies to all my fans for not entertaining them in a while, it took me a hell of a long time to recover from the gaities of this week. First off, thanks to all the ISOMers and staff remaining in Manchester for a wonderful dinner ‘n’ dance at La Tasca. And to Jonny for the ‘free’ beers 😉 Secondly, an apology is due to the Liverpool fans, for the mention on these very pages of their inability to contest Milan. What a great comeback!! And what luck in the final minutes, I must add. Thirdly, a call goes out to anyone having anywhere near as much difficulty as me waking up in the morning; how feasible is the idea of morning wakeup calls? God knows I need something like that. Even the lure of sharing my thoughts with the Wild World Web is not enough.

Red is the winning colour!
According to a study conducted at Durham Uni, UK of athletes in four Olympic sports (boxing, taekwondo, Greco-Roman wrestling and freestyle wrestling) who are randomly assigned red or blue to wear, reds triumphed more in all four sports. The same holds true for football, as recorded in the Euro 2004 competition. But in case Jonny thinks Liverpool has a chance against AC Milan this Wednesday, one researcher also says “If you’re rubbish, a red shirt won’t stop you from losing”. Ah, so that explains it then. 😉

Naivete
Last night I was lying in bed reflecting on my first journey as an independent adult, flying to Moscow with my ears full of admonitions, and advice to be wary of strangers in the big bad world. I remember sitting in the airport when my plane was delayed, and approached by a friendly Scotsman carrying a mandolin, which he proceeded to play and sing along to beautifully, while in my head were contradictory thoughts; one of appreciation for his moving Celtic music, and another of keeping my money safe from him, because surely this stranger was out to rob it from me! I remembered this after reading my friend’s weblog today. I hope he/she doesn’t think I just copied the idea and added some cultural references to make it more interesting 😛

Another long day at the office
Haven’t found a job yet, haven’t contacted my supervisor yet (no names mentioned here), and haven’t done any reading yet. Frankly, I can’t see the point of waking up everyday! Well, atleast I managed to check the TV guide online, so I’ll waste my time at home in an organised sort of way.

Dinner at my place?
So the day (14/05/05) finally arrived. I always make a great bowl of chili, but my friends were here to be experimented upon, so I decided on Thai. The chicken had been swimming in coconut milk and spices for over 20 hours; must have been some kind of athlete in its days. This was supposed to be a payback for all those free dinners I’ve been having at Tracy’s and Jessy’s, and boy did they get paid back. The food didn’t get much of a mention from anyone, atleast not until the host intimidated a compliment out of them, but considering that the fridge held circa 30 beers, there was serious work to get down to. After reaching a state of non-sobriety, it was decided that it was the right time for us to pit our intellect against each other in a game of Trivia Pusuit. Unfortunately, we hadn’t counted on the damn questions being so difficult. The game finally wound up at 2.30 a.m, after an Herculean effort on everybody’s part. Thanks to Bingboula, Jessy, Jill, Tracy, Ioannis and Ali for a great time.

Two-Gun Grabosch
It seems the notorious “Two-Gun Grabosch” is alive and kicking, causing devastation in Munich now. Apologies to non-isomers for the insider jokes.
