My first project as an Interactor @ Isipathana – GAMEFEST 2010 – is gonna kick off 2moro @ 9.30 am. CounterStrike, DOTA and NFS Most Wanted championships are up for grabs – CS 5 on 5; DOTA 4 vs 4; and the Most Wanted winner will face off against 6 counterparts in a series of races. 9 pm and I’m ...
I’m currently getting over what was a serious relationship, so this week I’ve been distracting myself by checking out chicks in sarees. Montessori teachers FTW: Honestly, our traditional, historical, stiff and formal national dress, in the hands of these ladies, is transformed into an undeniably sexy outfit. Want arms? No problem: no sleeves. Prefer bra-less women? We’ve got that covered, ...
Alright, I wasn’t online. Sorry, all those who do keep an eye out on this blog. During the past two weeks I almost totally forgot my online life . . . it’s hard enough to run my real life as it is. Running 24/7 for this and that with a thousand problems on your head – and studies to top ...
DRINK IT Good morning. It’s Friday the fourteenth. Yet another good morning turned to shit by just a few minutes of Skype. Warning, brethren (and sistren). Resist the impulse to login to Skype early in the morning. Avoid people like the plague, particularly ones who claim to love you, until you’re awake and have a decent amount of coffee in ...
I am not a pro-government fellow. But neither am I with the Opposition, whose only task these days seems to be to try to keep [their] sinking ship afloat. It occurs to me that the government IS actually trying to do something other than fill their pockets, but as usual it’s going about in the wrong way. Take education, for ...
What would you do if you had superpowers? Seriously. I was watching this rather interesting film called Chronicle, where three college guys find themselves blesses (or cursed) with increasingly dangerous telekinetic powers. One of them, an abused, weak, kid struggling to cope with a dying mom and a drunk dad, is the film’s…endgame antagonist: he turns to using his powers ...
Love, like all great things in life, demands patience, sacrifice and commitment. Why is my hitherto-unruffled mind turning to thoughts of love? Simple. Being in love is hurting me. The details are…private, but suffice it to say that I am not an adolescent dreaming of a crush. Neither is this one of the ridiculous Sri lankan tele-drama style “Ane, Pawan, ...
Ever been on a bus (in Sri Lanka, mind you)? It’s about 30 degrees celcius outside, it’s about 40 inside (what with all the people packed like sardines in a can) . Suddenly you get pushed aside as a 900-ton woman (9/10 of women over 40 fit into this range) pushes you aside, cruising through the bus like an effing ...
I’m a *massive* RPG (Role Playing Game) fan. Mass effect 2 rocks; heads up to Fallout 3, people. And Dragon Age: Origins was a masterpiece. And Mini Ninjas, while devoid of storyline, was cute and refreshing. That said, let’s not forget to wee 2D scrolling RPGs that we know and love. Many people say 3D is the ONLY thing. ...
Customer support, I believe, is one of the most important aspects of any business. It is also one of the most rewardless areas. Customers can be difficult. They can bitch and grumble, they can whine and pester you, and at the end of the day you’re pissed off enough to smash the customer’s face in. Well, don’t. In the minefield ...
