Wasn’t a blogspot enough ?

Crappy day. Work piled up. Had class in the evening (Oh learning Japanese btw, wanted to do a nice post on nuances of learning but nevertheless) so showed extra-ordinary management skills and finished off in time. Then bus got delayed. Manager called. Some more work. Missed class.


Extremely grumpy. Specially when last night hiragana had started to retain inside my head and I had really worked hard on a conversation homework – thinking overnight as to what to write about and coming up with pretty good stuff (considering I have already missed 2 sessions at the beginning). More grumpy. One of those days.


So what I did ? Having a facebook developer account had activated the new facebook timeline for my profile day before. I indulged in some more frivolous stuff. After thinking that the new messy facebook news feed will actually make me hate it more! No sir, self indulgence is a forte. Pics got tweaked. Covers were made. Apps got added. Time-line got cleaned up. Virtual world really gives you a chance to re-do, re-align stuff. So unlike reality.


Anywho, I have a blog and I am pretty happy with it. But no, now I have an entire page dedicated to more vanity with people’s approval.
Grumpy. Grumpy. Grumpy.

P.S. Unless you are a nerd like me there is a way to activate the facebook timeline. Please google techcrunch the techcrunch article. But its in beta now, so may be buggy. So let them release it on their own.
P.P.S. Aai (and baba too) think I am quite mad to be learning japanese, so please go ahead and judge.

    Neha : I had that period of couch potato-ing so trying new stuff now 😉

    Calvin : Oh, its purely for fun and the learning experience. Specially since I know my traveling needs wont be fulfilled a lot in the coming days. So vicarious experiences as such help!

    Japanese? I would tend to think Mandarin is a better bet in these times..

    good job on learning japanese! The only thing I do with my free time is while away on the couch, day-dreaming 😀
    I have even lost in fb, pretty much! Which is hopefully a good sign 😉

    Snita : hehe. Yes but spreading grumpy-ness is something I learnt from Calvin 😀
    also, I am bowled over by the language and the culture. Loving it totally 🙂

    I am just impressed that you are doing productive stuff with your time. I never did anything when I ahd time. And now I dont have time to even understand what adjusting facebook timeline means.. This is how it starts, losing to keeping up with changing times. Soon, my son will have to teach me stuff. 🙁
