Routine. Take bread out of microwave, switch on microwave and heat up meat product, take butter out of fridge, put butter in microwave, pick up butter knife from drying rack thing, take butter out of microwave, butter bread, put butter back in fridge, wash and put butter knife back on drying rack thing, take out meat product, add sauce, eat. ...
As you all might know, there’s this 16 days something something campaign to raise awareness on gender based violence(GBV). Here’s the link for the campaign “hub” in Sri Lanka -> http://srilanka16days.wordpress.com/about/. Click on it. Learn. That link is all about violence against women. What we don’t really hear about is violence against men. I didn’t think it was much of ...
You’re not that bad to your customers. Most of the time. Even when some of them are too lazy to write blog posts in the form of letters. Now that I’m rid of that tedious literary device, Over a month ago, I got a phone call from someone who claimed to be from Dialog, and asked me for some personal ...
My Rexona V8 roll-on deo is empty. Just like my soul. But hey, the axe spray is still half full. It’s even supposed to turn the wearer into a veritable pheromone factory. Or something. The last few days have been a rollercoaster of epic proportions for my immune system. It all started a week ago when I turned up at ...
I’m going to take someone’s advice and just write. I haven’t been putting much effort into this little journal of sorts lately, and I have a feeling my 60, 70 or (hopefully) 80 year old self would really appreciate hearing about my exploits back when I was young, spry, not an internationally renowned figure and slightly more dashing. To you, ...
The dogs constantly mocked our stamina. Over the long weekend, we decided to finally head over to Lakegala in Meemure, a sort of remote village somewhere in the knuckles range. It’s pronounced Lak-gala, apparently. Indi managed to think it was Lake-gala (lake-rock, literally). A bus and a van journey later, we wound up at Meemure village near the temple where we ...
Salad by SliceOfChic You might be wondering why there is a picture of a salad up there. Then again you might also be wondering why your life is such an empty husk, never to see fulfillment, forever to be lost in between the pleats of the skirt of life. Just like that blasted vanilla milkshake from the Deli France in Odel. ...
Semi-accurate depiction of the average meal at UK Like Ravenholm, Urban Kitchen might have once been a sole beacon of shining hope for the famished and the hopeless. But, like Ravenholm, it seems to turn into a pretty hellish environ with less-than-hospitable inhabitants in the evenings. A few friends and I used to go there quite often, we’d end up ...
The last few days have been pretty strange. Friday I managed to get a fever, which I thought was just some light food poisoning from something I’d cooked(more on this later. much more). Sunday had me at a doctor’s office, sitting in the chair flashing my torso at her. As I was leaving, the nurses clung to me screaming “But ...
My computer is in my room most of the time. It is connected to the internet of tubes via a magical wireless connection. This wireless connection is with a router on the floor below, maybe a dozen feet or so away, separated only by a layer of concrete and sometimes my legs. The seemingly gargantuan task of pushing radio waves ...
Going over the last few posts, it’s like I’m always complaining about some business or the other. So this time I’m going to complain about something else. As far back as I can remember, there’s always been some cause to get all worked up over for young people. Like the feminist thing. It’s like all the women I know were ...
I just got back from a trip to the ancient city of Anuradhapura, home to many leftovers from ancient civilizations, sacred temples and mediocre chinese food. This has nothing to do with this post, but I just thought I’d get it out there. Expect a post about it on Sinhalayatravels, soon. It’s still in the atelier(*cough*cough*), but should be done ...
Since buying the motorbike, I’ve been commuting on the thing for about a month now. Ever since I got the thing, and a while before, I’ve been reading up on everything I could do to it and how it works.Most online resources are brimming with people who take motorcycling as a hobby. They’re all about waving at other riders and ...
I remember a song by Jimmy Eat World called Sweetness. It was one of the first mp3 files I had on a cd, and felt very revolutionary. SO I played it over and over again to mock the audio cd’s with their 80-minute limit. I always thought myself a reasonable person. Not given to bouts of insanity or cooking or ...
When reading something, I sometimes have a tendency to guess whether the author was male or female. I don’t know if this is some kind of inherent sexual stereotyping or if it’s something far less useful. It just feels odd when I’m reading something, and suddenly I get this feeling that this is a man’s writing. And then I read ...
