Alright, so remember how I said that if a couple of things 'pan out' this week I'd put it/them up on the site? Well one has panned out. So there's good news and bad news.

Bad news: I may be staying in India longer than 3 months. Yeah.. kinda sucks about not seeing/talking to my homeys in the US for that long, but the good news is the reason why...

Good news: I got a job. It's the accent trainer job that I mentioned before I left, and I'm getting paid pretty good money. Computer engineers make Rs. 10,000-12,000 a month, and I'll be making Rs. 21,000 a month. Not too shabby, and that's the starting rate. Of course when you convert it to US Dollars, it's not exactly the best of numbers, but it's enough to make a good living around here and live comfortably. Okay fine, a little MORE than just comfortably. Plus, I'm starting to really dig the place, even though I've made no friends. :( I have family, but that's it. Hopefully this job will help out a bit.

Aight, this place is getting stuffy again, so I'm out. Peas.

Whoa. I didnt know that you could spend money that fast. I mean, I'd heard of it, but for it to ACTUALLY HAPPEN is something totally different. Ladies and gentlemen, I spent Rs. 8,000 in a mere two hours.

Not.

Kidding.

I think this is the part where I have to get on my knees and start asking for repentence from God or something. May as well begin...

Quote of the Day
"Those are the guys that come to sleep over here with Vinod some nights."
-Cinuchacha. Trust me, the real context of the statement doesn't add to any sense of normalcy. So not gonna do it.

Grr. I can't sleep. And I completely blame Vinod for this one. He told me today that his bed had bedbugs in it. They bite, he claimed. And they cause you to itch.

Now I can't sleep.

Anytime I feel something move (it's only been air so far), I think it's one of those things crawling all over me. Onto other news:

The other day I was in an autorickshaw. A standard ride was what I expected. After a bit, the man decides to put on some of his music. 'Great', I thought, 'like we need some dude's input on what to listen to'. And then it began. Rich, bellous bass resounding from this tiny little auto. I mean, this stuff was enough to make both Levi and Daman (two car audio buffs) to shame. His music was even more amazing: high-paced techno. I turned around to see that this guy had installed subwoofers in this thing. Never judge a book by its cover, I suppose.

On another music note, I went back to Kerala (my mother-state, I suppose) this past weekend. Vinod and I were riding with two of his former classmates from college. At first, they had on some Hindi music, which I found terribly mundane. This all changed when in a few seconds, something else came on. New music. That's right in a barely-there Sanyo car (did someone even know that these guys made cars??) going from Ernakulam to Othera, in Kerala, INDIA, I was jammin' out to P.I.M.P by 50 Cent. It changed slightly when we went to listening to In Da Club a little while later. Wow.

I've got some things I'm working on this week, but I'll post them on the site later, if they turn out successful.

Last,

"Girls like big asses, right?"
Vinod, when we were talking about what girls like in men.
