I decided that it'd be good to go for an extra stroll around here in the evening. You know, after my daily run and all. Okay, now before you start thinking that I'm running fervently and regularly, it might behoove you to know that in actuality, I've only started this week. On top of that, I skipped Tuesday and Wednesday. Way to go for regularity. The reason I'm posting twice in one day is because I wanted to add this quote from the Bangalore Times. Here we go...
Quote of the Day
"Hard to understand? Can't be.. the Americans understand it."
-The Bangalore Times, after explaining the rules of American football.

So I'm on break right now at work. Taking my hour's break for lunch, and at the Faculty room, they have internet access. That's especially helpful because I get to sit in an air conditioned room with a good keyboard instead of a steamy room with a crappy computer and sticky keyboard. Very helpful. Now onto news at work...
Apparently NEXT's new client is Microsoft, and they ASKED FOR ME! WHOA! They love native-speakers of American English, and I was talking to the head trainer here and she was telling me that if they like you enough, they end up snatching those trainers away from their original workplaces. What does that mean? That in a while, i may be saying, "Hey how's it goin... I work for Microsoft." Isn't that INSANE?!!
Alright, gotta go.

So I finished most of the training for the accent trainer gig today. Tomorrow we have our presentations (I picked American stereotypes and American culture), then we watch a couple of sessions in action and BAM. We've got our own classes. Yeah, insane. My blog's gonna be mad short today, and I'm off to the house so that I can prepare for tomorrow and do something REALLY important afterwards.... SLEEP.

Ah CRAP. Daman sent out an email to all the DeltaSigs that they should check out my site for updates on me. That I can deal with. But apparently I'm supposed to be funny too. Well sheeeeyet. I gots nuffin.
So anyway. I went to work for the first time today (in India). It's a very relaxed environment, which seems to be the way things are around here in Bangalore. I mean, there's all this hi-tech development and stuff, but people are all laid back. Oh yeah, and dont forget the cows. As 'civilized' as this place is, there are cows roaming the streets. I know that Delhi had some problems with monkeys running around, but apparently in Bangalore it's COWS , people. Not frikkin kidding. What I dont understand is who brings these mamas around to these streets. I mean some dude definitely had to go, "hm. what do i do with Bessie today (or Vishachandratekkila or whatever)? I know! Let's take it downtown where no one will do anythig to it!!"
So many weird experiences.. oh, got some info on the movie. It's actually British (that's to be said with a snooty accent) and I'll have a part and can even get some assistant-director credit in it .Word to tha mothaship. Got yet ANOTHER thing I'm working on this week, and I'll let y'all know what's going as it happens.
