Moving to Antarctica sounds like a fabulous plan right about now
It’s 39 degrees.
In March.
Thirty nine degrees. In March.
What is happening?!
And more importantly, if it’s already thirty nine degrees, what’ll happen in May?
And apparently, it was snowing in Dallas the other day.
I’m melting.
Do you watch American Idol? This is actually the first time I’m following it (in a manner of speaking) and yesterday I saw this amazing performance of Paint It Black by Siobhan Magnus. You just have to watch it. Trust me.
Printers, you see, are generally quite annoying. My printer (so far, at least) has been quite well-behaved, considering it’s several years old. So of course, I just had to do something that would put a black mark against it, and last week presented me with the perfect opportunity.
You know how annoying it is when you try to cancel a print job in Windows? It almost never works, and then you can’t even print anything else until you log off and log on again. So I thought I’d found the perfect solution when I saw this Lifehacker article. Just download the batch code, run it and — et voila! — print jobs cancelled! Great, right?
WRONG.
I downloaded the script to my desktop, ran it, figured something was fishy in it’s delete confirmation message and hence chose “No” and what do I get? Some random files from my desktop simply vanished before my eyes! [Yes, I blinked, just in case. Didn’t help.] None of the recovery programs I tried worked. Thank you so very much.
[NOTE: Lifehacker has since updated that post - there was an error in the script - so you can safely download it and it might (gasp) actually work]
I’ve started working! As a web developer for a company. True, the work isn’t much and it’s mostly from home, but it’s fun nevertheless. Apparently, someone’s going to be buying an electric guitar very soon.
Which reminds me, it’s been just over 2 years since I first got my guitar. And although I can play fairly well technique-wise, I know precious few songs. Hmm. Must … do … something … about … that.
Blogger is annoying. It turns out that the embedded comment form doesn’t work in many mobile browsers. And it’s templating system is too restrictive. And all the changes they bring out are so late. I mean, they rolled out the Pages feature now. Wordpress has had it for aeons. I want my own hosted Wordpress.
Pfft.

Formattin like, just your post has got the most perfect formatting. Haha, I probably appreciate that cuz I suck at it.
Cool. I've not touched my guitar in like MONTHS.:P
Oh my printer is a crazy with-a-mind-of-its-own bitch. You start printing something and it churns out sheet after sheet of 2 lines of smileys n spades n diamonds n arrows. Then you open the documents for printing list in the toolbar and you'll find atleast 5 documents that you cannot even open and that you certainly didn't ask to be printed.
And deleting each takes a LOT of time.
@Sam: Haan, I still don't exactly know what you mean. Your posts look fine? Or are you talking about how you write in semi-shorthand? :P
@Espera: Hahahaha WHAT? Where does it get those smilies and other symbols from?! This has to be the coolest printer-related problem I've heard of so far xD
I was just about to write a post about this! Oh God, I sleep with my AC on and it's freakin' MARCCHHHHH! What'll happen in June? I will die of heat. :( Shit, I don't want to die!
And Siobhan. Dude, she's awesome. I love her.
And if she swung the other way, I'd totally turn into a lesbian and do her.
Shit, did I just say that out loud?
I know, right? Fortunately, my AC is working now =) In June, the walk-in freezer at McDonald's will be put to a new and novel use ;)
Hahahaha =P Yes you did [I love answering rhetorical questions :P]
My AC is working too. :) THANK GOD. I'm leaving the country to go to a place where it snows. I'll die if i stay in Delhi. I will. :( Damn Global Warming.
:(
It snows in India too, you know? =P
It's not snowing now, is it?
Of course it is. Somewhere or the other =P
NOOOO. It isn't.
Listen, are you on Gtalk? :)
Achha? Just look at the mountains :P
Yup, I am.

Awww :P
omg, I was going to do the Antarctica thing BLEH. Stupid mind reader.
Also, I'ma come back and see the video. Just thought I'd comment coz you were whining that I don't.
Also, hypocrite.
Hello? When was I whining? Unless you're talking about yourself :P
Welcome the spammer~ *drumroll*
I was hoping to comment on your next post but looks like you're not planning to write one! Lol.
Maybe you should choose a nice template for your blog too! :)
Ooh awesome! =D
Arrey, I was planning to post, but then I got caught up with stuff. Stay tuned ;)
And :O My template is all offended now coz you said it's not not nice.
Dear blog,
I'm deeply sorry for having offended you. You do look nice but you could have looked nicer if you had a light embossing on your plain navy blue face or maybe something else? You see, makeovers are fun!
I understand if you would like to remain simple and sober and not change yourself for anyone. :)
Yours unquestionably,
Avni~
PS: Lmao
PPS: Btw, just for my knowledge, can one use their own template?
PPPS: I'm pretty sure you chose the name of your blog after selecting the template so that it goes with that compass!
He designed this template.
*bites her lip*
@Sam: Okay, I thought so. But hoped he didn't. Meri katta :(
*gulps*
@Sahil: Have I told you lately that your blog is very enjoyable! :D And oh, actually the template's very professional and classy. And you designed it so that it would go with the title and not the reverse. Hehe. Silly me. :S :S :S
POSTSCRIPT: Hey bhagwwwaaaaaaaaannnn! YEH MERE SAATH HI KYUN HOTA HAI??????????????????
HAHAHAHAHAHA, Nah He doesn't mind I bet. :P
Hahahahaha Avni! xD Have I told you how awesome you are?! ^_^
And anyway, no I do not mind - you're totally allowed to dislike the template =)
Thanks for all the commenting! ^_^
I do not "dislike" it.
I'm just more fond of overly fancified things.
=P
wow, the girl is brilliant. i loved her Paint it Black
She got voted out! :O
On the day after all the judges were telling her that she's back in it and did a great performances. Sheesh.
