The Week That Was

Friday afternoon. Another week has gone by, and I've realized I'm already losing interest in this fledgling blog. More out of sheer laziness than anything else, I reckon. I had heartwarming visions of posting off long-drawn diatribes against everything under the sun, throwing in a few reviews of random prog-rock albums, and flogging the blog to the unsuspecting public. In fact, I actually had some pretty neat ideas for posts earlier this week. HAH! But I'm incorrigibly LAZY!!

Still, there is hope. In a desperate attempt to hold on to the little interest I have left, I've pushed myself to write this post - all about the week that was. Frankly, its a boring post. But then, it has been a rather boring week.

• Laziness was the recurring theme. And sickness. This blasted Melbourne weather has sparked off some severe asthma attacks, resulting in me getting out of bed no earlier than 10 most mornings. I went to work only at noon. But there wasnt much work to do, and I'm way too low in the corporate ladder for people to notice I wasn't actually at work. In my defense, I thought a lot about work while at home, and then actually did some work too. Very little, though. Felt like Dilbert. It was a good feeling.
• The week also came with warnings of impending disaster and terrorist attacks on Melbourne, what with police raids and arrests of suspected terrorists followed by whispers of supposed bombs in the railway stations and all that. In the end, nothing happened. But my laziness and sickness resulted in my avoiding railway stations at peak hours. It was a brilliant strategy! And I'm glad to be alive. Phewww!!
• Its been raining like a bastard this last week. Just when I thought summer was finally here. Well, at least its not as bad as the rains in Chennai I've been hearing about, where one friend mentioned he transformed into Darth 'Wader', while commuting in the city. A bit of sunlight would be good though. Are you listening?
• The week also had the season's final episode of 24. I now have one less reason to watch TV. I think this is a good time to give it up totally.
• I think I've spent a considerable part of this week in bed, and in elevators. The elevators in the office are possessed. I was stuck in those bleeding things on more than one occasion for what seemed like ages. Luckily, I had nothing better to do, so it was OK. I even attempted PC with the people I was stuck with, which is something I would normally never do. I'm not into elevator conversations. I usually just stare at my feet.
• The most exciting thing I did this week - learnt to play 'Tambourine Man' and 'Lay Lady Lay' on the guitar. Woohoo! It's been a Dylan week. Two more songs added to the repertoire...
• I can't wait for the weekend to arrive.
• On that note, I need a drink. And then I need 5 more. Only an hour left for the weekly Friday-Night-Work-Drinks-Thingie. Happyhappyjoyjoy!
