Post weekend blues

Hello to all my six blog readers! :)

It's Monday again which basically spells the beginning of another mundane week for me. On the agenda this week is writing a few more chapters of my blovel, meeting up with an old friend for dinner, traveling to the big city possibly for another round of interviews and maybe staying over for a friend's son's christening and/ or chaperoning my sister for a concert... not so bad actually. What plans do you guys have? Anything interesting?

I've managed to ignore this space for 5 whole days without suffering from an iota of guilt, a shitty thing to do in the infancy stages of an anonymous blog. I'm sure my blog is suffering from serious inferiority complex by now because not only do I not want to acknowledge its presence in my real life but I've also started giving it second preference over my blovel. As for the blovel it seems to be shaping up well (I think!). I've tried to get a couple reactions from friends without giving them the link to the blovel because, you know, its connected to this blog and I might have written/ plan to write about them in the near future and I sure as hell don't want to complicate matters. They seemed to like it which makes me wonder why no one seems to be leaving any comments on the chapters/ posts. At the cost of being penalized by the blovel police I've left the comments option on for my individual chapters and thanks to Blogger's updated capabilities I can now monitor traffic on my blovel site. What this basically means is that I do have visitors on the site but no one seems to want to share their feedback with me. So not cool! :(

There's this other thing that's really pissing me off these days and it has something to do with my country's current state of affairs. I'm hesitant to write about it because then you will obviously know which country I belong to and that will put my whole anonymous blogger idea in a funk. Decisions, decisions...

Crappiest wake up alarm

The interview went off really well, thanks for asking! Now I've gotta play the waiting game. God how I hate waiting (!) but since I've resigned myself to the fact that the next two years are going to be all about "the waiting", I guess waiting to hear back from my prospective future employers isn't so bad. At least I'll be working in a place that promises to be marginally fun. And marginally fun is a HUGE improvement on my current state of affairs!

While on the topic of improvement - What is it with people having no sense of another person's personal space? The other day I was traveling on a train from hicksville to (a place they call) the city. The seat beside me was vacant and whaddya know? A lousy SOB stuck his ass in my face in an effort to block others from getting in and claiming the said vacant seat. Whatever happened to the concept of personal space? Oh and also, getting someone's ass stuck in your face at 8am is not really the best way to start your day! Now you see why I hate everything around me!!!

My weekend's looking good so far... Great meal out at an asian restaurant in the afternoon and I managed to throw together an awesome oyster & lemon grass chicken tonight. Second viewing of Step Up 3D at the cinemas scheduled for tomorrow. I love that flick!

Before I wrap up - a big shout out to my first three readers - from Dar-es-salaam, Memphis and Iowa. Thanks for giving me the impetus to write! :)
