The bad part of being depressed - for me, that is - is that when those words - 'I'm so depressed !' - are in my mind, I actually hear them in my head as they are said by Marvin - voiced by Alan Rickman --- which makes me burst out into giggles. There is something hugely wrong with this scenario ...

...

...


I hope everyone has been well. I was awfully ill last week, and before that things were such that I haven't been able to go properly into lj, ij, jf and dw for a long time. The end result is that my email accounts are a mess and I daren't dnld mails to outlook express till I clean them up online first. I'll be doing that from afternoon today. I feel almost nearly myself today.

Almost.


Also, I plan to buy the paperback of 'Unseen Academicals' as soon as it is out !

But that's a long way away :(

...

...

m sick. The left side of my neck and lower jaw are painful and I feel feverish :( :(

...

...


Native Indians are seen as soft, timid and easily bullied - for jollies and into submission - in many parts outside India. This is sad, because there are always exceptions ... which usually prove the rule :D

...

...


I am feeling intensely depressed, and I miss my people, and I want to go Home. Right now.

:( :( :(

...

...


'kay, say someone asked some questions very honestly and with a sincere desire to learn from the answers. She's a kid and phrased these as best as she could within her ability and experience - which, frankly, is not vast. So, does she deserve to be attacked by a butthurtee behind her back because said butthurtee didn't like the way these questions were phrased ?

UGH. There are times I am ashamed of being in such a world.

A really nasty heatstroke and dehydration doesn't make for a quick and coherent brain :{

I really, really need the monsoon to begin. It's way late already, and the heatNhumidity's making me unpleasantly sick and slow to recover from the heatstroke, and what with rl being a spot bothersome there're large number of pending comments I can't think properly enough to answer *Annoyed*


I loved this lovely little ST-TOS comic :)


Friends, if there's anyone wanting dreamwidth codes, please do send them over



Is it me, or is Sacha looking a little bit like Sarah Jessica Parker in this pic ?



I think he does. Interesting :D

Speaking of 'Bruno', here's a link that is Not worksafe XD



Will possibly be able to get at comments when I'm a little more organised rl :(

...

...


Nothing like reading up jf to try chase away the bad moods ... Especially with something like an obit post beginning 'Yes, I know it's been 2000 years, but approximately one billion people are still in denial. So it's fresh news, really'

*GoeZ into Raptures of XD*



ETA - Ooo, heZ leik, yanno, Snape XD XD

...

...


Waiting to receive mail from a carioca (resident of Rio) saying she, her friends and family and extended French family are alright.

I can't think.

I can't.


An hour after mailing :
ETA - She mailed. *Collapsing with relief*

...


ETA 2 :

( Context )

...

...


( Curry Bashing )


What's the chance of such happening in Europe ?

...

…


Thing-with-very-possibly-damaged-neural-networks-but-I-thought-otherwise-before-Oh-Stupid-Me !, which part of ‘I want to take the tickets for returning to X in May, 2010 from Y to X around February or early-March of 2010.’ is so unclear to you that you ask me in response ‘I have one quick question about your return date, do you wish to return May 2010 or in February-early March?’ *REPEATED HEADWALLING*



To other news ---

( Thanks, Australian Government, Soo Chuffed Here ! And I hope every other peoples take note. )


Doesn’t make me feel very safe, really. Let’s see what happens … One thing’s for sure, I’ll put out full accounts hereabouts.

…

...


'nets acting up BigTimE for me atta mo'

:/

Yes, it's because of 'Aila'

Is that the name of a woman ?

Last I knew, 'aila' is a word in Marathi that means '(he/she/it) is coming'

Hope I'm right there, and if not, please do correct me, Marathi-speakers

However, if 'Aila' was named from the name of a woman, then I Protest Massively !

Trust me, guys who name environmental disasters with feminine names, I can be a few times worse than any of those you've named if I really put my mind to it *Fumes a little*

...

…


I have to rec this !

Lord Snape expressed a clear willingness to breach the code of conduct

Moonie said he would not break the rules, which he said were "made up as they go along"

XD OMG all that’s needed is a Mr. Riddle somewhere, smilingly saying he had no idea about anything of these matters because he was away visiting a friend on the continent at the time XD
…

...


I was considering taking an Air France related line when I travel next.

But I won't.

I will also discourage family, friends and anyone else I know who look like subcontinental Asians from doing the same.

Because I know what is racism and what isn't, even if people/conglomerates-of-people accused of it deny and explain everything away oh-so-plausibly.

Yesterday late afternoon, after a few days of 41 degree celsius plus temperatures, the skies came over all dark-like, and evening came early, and it stormed, and it hailed, and it rained alongwith ... And all the sleep I missed on those hot, hot days have come back en masse to weigh on my head.

Not a good idea, I am very busy rl at the moment, and can't think of anything till I get this visa-app done and through.

The current coolness is welcome, though ... I don't know how long it will be around ... ...

...

…

It’s hot enough that ‘m not getting much sleep for the last few days. I just had a full shower. At this time of night !
The only consolation is HeHe there’s a huge number of people hereabouts who’re in the same boat.

Why has my Very Important Letter not arrived yet ?! It should have come within this week ! *Petulant foot stamping*

It’s interesting to note that the ‘epics’ are all compilations of fanfics XD XD That is to say, ‘epics’ from every culture XD Now what’re the historians and religious fanatics and random-people-who-try-to-find-rl-explanations-for-the-unreal-things-written-down-in-these-large,-large-stories going to say about this, huh ?

Btw, random twatty spammer, Do Not expect me to even keep a mail in the inbox which has the subject ‘Guranted Job’ Eww.

Anyone has a invite-code for dreamwidth I could ask for come the 30th ?

Random mailing idiot planning to study pre-doctoral through the medium of English (I Can't Believe It !! And WTF's pre-doctoral anywayZ ? Shdn't it be 'Masters' ?), Do not send me email/s that contain 'c ya'. Do Not. There's little that's more unpleasant to look at first thing in the morning PlzKthxBai *FumeFUME*

Btw, it seems 'Slytherin House' needs/ed 'humanisation' by 'teh Fen' ... *Yawn*

Reccing. Reccing ! RECCING !!

Aside from that :

if 'Twi'-plagiarism is true - and it sounds like it possibly could be - I won't be surprised. Not at all.

:{ if another twit sends me another mail with the word 'univercity' ... I ... GRR ! ... I dunno what I shall proceed to do ... Prolly go spare. Prolly ... *Considering other, more satisfyingly crunchy and subsequently slippery and Ferrous-smelling options*

did I mention I really, really loathe IPL ? EWW

It is actually possible to remain at a high level of searing fury (plateauing with a large number of peaks) for a period longer than a year. Interesting ...

I think I really, really like writing Vetinari-fic *Giggle* It's coming along well. I like reading it. That's really funny :D

Go, old thing ! I like it :) :) I like it even more that it was possible to finally find some guts somewhere and walk out from association/s with officially racist organisations :)
