Trinity term...day 1
Well, by now we probably all know about the recent escapade of our dear friend Mr P. Needless to say, hopefully we all know realise that jumping of a car might not be the best way to stay healthy and uninjured. I dont think that i am going to get into it again....except to say that my views on jumping off cars have been made known to the parties concerned...
and he promises never ever to do it again ....( well, that part isnt true..when will he ever promise to do anything that takes him out of mortal danger of something or the other)
I think i am still at the stage where I wondering where he comes up with these things to do...
Seriously, its like a stunt out of one of those reality TV shows...while it is rather amusing...in a very surreal way....
I cant help but worry a lot...I guess thats the only thing that you can do when you are 6000+ miles away....you know.....
It isnt possible to be any further..well...i could move to LA but then i am sure that flying arnd the other side of the world still makes it nearer.....
Oh yeah..I forgot..I can also feel extremely helpless....which i do...abt once a day on a good day..and more often on a bad day....
Well i guess i should be grateful...now that the clocks have been put forward...the time difference has been reduced to 9 hrs instead of 11...yeah!!!..
Now i cant use my old calculation of....what time is it in australia...? Lets see...what time is it in England....ok...take away an hour and....is it night here...then it must be day there...and vice versa...now i actually have to do the sums on my fingers...
I have never been able to calculate time otherwise
And its not like communication is easy...with dodgy internet connections...and exhorbitant( I cant remember whether there is a 'h' in that word..) phone costs...well i can understand in this case...6000 miles of under the sea phone cables..
So....I sit here..and offer to change bandages...cos its not like i can actually do it...internet bandage changing..that will herald the arrival of technology....
Yup....I have managed to make an incident of injury reflect something else...
Well, in all fairness..this is my blog:-)...relatively poor argument..but the truth
Most people look forward to things that are lets see...max a month..i dont know..maybe two months away...
If i actually started counting in days...well i dont have enough fingers...and a three digit figure...might actually counter productive.....thats a soulless way of saying depressing as hell
As i was saying....i have made " missing you an artform"...
Conceited twat that i am...quoting myself....
Why do I bite the heads of gummy bears first.....nasty
Anyway....
I cant continue writing like this anymore....enough depressing sounding words for a lifetime....
Lets move onto the postive...which is extensive....and the lessons that we have learnt....
1) Falling of a moving car causing excessive abrasions
2) It is near impossible to hang onto a car when its accelerating over a road bump...hump...lump? whatever....I still dont have the license so pray excuse me
3) Frank Sinatra's...The way you look tonight..is an amazing song...that makes me smile....
4) When I think of you....its Ella....you know which one....
5) Paris is going to be such good fun in summer....mais..ma langue...c'est pas tres bien...je souffrerai...i wonder..is that how you conjugate that verb...Jadis, je pourrais discuiter la litterature en francais...oui..je rappelle les livres...comme Mdm Bovary...si 'neurotic'..arsenic...pauvre pauvre Charles...et la petite...Berthe...qui Flaubert a tue...pauvre Emma...le batard Rudolf...anyway.....I never really understood that book...why would she be so selfish..such a child...She should have never married Charles..that is certain...but he adored her...so few people have that..
6) I am actually 1.6m...so that makes me slightly taller than initial estimates...
7) Lets see now....I have finally discovered technology...ie.. a webcam..now i can actually see what i look like to other people...not to sound negative...but it is actually frightful:-)
8) Oxford is beautifully sunny...it brightens at 6am and darkens at 9pm...Nothing affects me as much as sunshine..happy when its sunny and incredibly sad when it isnt....
9) You cant actually see much of a football match from the stands..but you get to spend the rest of your life boasting that you got to see ronaldo to put two past Kahn....and that Collina's head truly does reflect light...I hope that my kids wont expect me to fly them to go watch football..cos i sure as hell wont be able to afford it....
10) There is a Matisse exhibition...and a Whistler and Manet in the Tate..which i might go to
11) My middle name might be annapoorni..but it could be so much worse
12) When will you stop jumping off moving cars...cant you see how much it worries us....true, we do laugh a little... but your friends do worry about you when you get yourself into situations like this....we wonder..what are you going to do next...I for one...dont want to find out...
That doesnt mean that you are allowed to not tell me..it means...there ideally should not be anything of a similar nature to tell:-)
