gagged !!!

So much to say - so little energy to do so.
when the brain is doing a lot of processing - its first fallout seems to be a restriction in 'saying'.
it thinks and wants to express but doesnt quite get down to it - and when it does its as vague as this !!!

Plastic

So all credit card machines in this part of frankfurt terminal are down. Imagine the chaos. Most people not even accepting anything other than euros because they can't convert without the machines... Finally found 6 euros in coins for breakfast.

Only the menu in common

Son's birthday party. Difference from last year... Everything, not even one guest repeated. Only the food remained the same. He wouldn't accept a variation on that one.

Cash, phone and...

Security check at frankfurt. Big guy is directing the emptying of my pockets. Passport, wallet, phone, gun... Gun? I look at him and we both burst out laughing. Their definition of security with a smile :)

too few hours

the problem when i get started with work is that the day never seems to have enough hours... is that what they call a workaholic.
today was just one of those days when you want to do so many things and can keep doing them forever.
have always had some hobby or the other but havnt kept at any of them as long or none have given me as much pleasure as work that i like :)

a full meal

cooked a full meal after a long time - felt good.
i enjoy cooking - gives a sense of having done something (mostly something useful).
in my dreams i build bridges and great monuments - something that can be seen and appreciated - in real life of course i build something invisible to the naked eye - not that its a bad job - just so invisible :)

Using swype

Writing this and the earlier post using swype.
fiddled with the settings a little and now I'm kind of loving it :)
I enjoy the spell correction most of all...

The joys of sportsmanship

As we played squash this evening, I kept getting beaten. That's when my partner pointed out the major error I was making (I am relatively new to the game).
Well the good thing is it raised the level of the game and we had more fun. The perils of sportsmanship of course is that he lost the game thereafter - but we both enjoyed that game more than all of the before.

Good strong muscles

Well i argue you never use your upper body muscles in this day and age... But lo and behold you do - though rarely.
Remembered this argument as i carried a full gas cylinder from the neighbours to my house. Ah the nice tingling in the arms :)

cars have locks

one gets so used to the metal tiger with no locks to speak of - that i spent a full 20 seconds tugging at the car door this morning wondering why i couldn't get in!!!
its locked - needs a key.
well ok - wouldn't it be great in a world where locks weren't needed?
