Arbit stuff. (very inane)

1). Overheard at very fun party on Friday evening where several people were rather "happy"*:

X: Who is Rakhi Sawant?
Y: She kissed Mika,no?
Z: No. Mika kissed her.
X: I don't like Mika. He is nasal.
Y: Himesh is more nasal than Mika..and you like him.
Z: I like Gabroo. Thats not nasal.
Me: Whatever!

2). Same party. Different people.

A: Why is hard lemonade called hard?(This after downing a Mika's. Ooops. I mean Mike's!)
B: Because it has alcohol in it.
A: Shit. But I don't drink.
B: You do now babe!
A: Will I get high?
B: No.
A: I feel dizzy.
B: You're fine.
A: I feel like I'm slurring my speech.
B: No. You're fine.
A: I'm drunk, aren't I?
B: Oh puhleeze. Will someone give me a refill? I need more alcohol to deal with this paranoia.

3). Not only do I have a non-working dishwasher, and a broken shower faucet, but also a fridge in which everything goes bad super-quick, a stove that is emanating smoke from the wrong places, and a heating system that does not work! Fun!

4). Oh...I just remembered, add an electrical system that was installed when Edison was alive. My cup runneth over. We have a little list of what appliances we cannot operate simultaneously:
Washer+Microwave = fuse udna
AC+Washer = fuse udna
Microwave + electric room heater = fuse udna

I give up! Ennala mudila!

5). Festival season is upon us again. Oh joy! Diwali in the lab again! I hope no one asks me why we celebrate Diwali again. I'm sick of explaining the story to overgrown buffoons with an overdeveloped interest in (exotic!)Indian mythology. Yes. We have more than one God. In fact we have 33 million of them. Deal with it dudes!

6). I'm a big fan of John Milton. Actually, thats patently untrue. I've read exactly one sonnet that Milton wrote, which was in my syllabus in Class X. Everyone has read it. Its called "On his blindness". The last sentence is very famous. It goes like this:

"They also serve, who only stand and wait."

I wish HZ would apply this principle to me. I would love to just stand and wait. Or, in my case, sit in front of a laptop/TV and wait. I do promise HZ everlasting devotion in return. This came to me because lately, HZ has been "extracting day labor, night denied."

Heaves loud sigh.

*Amma, and any other relatives who are reading this: I was sober as a judge. Promise!
