feels like a tuesday (there's that feeling of wanting to watch csi:miami in the air), but it really is thursday. the bliss! the joy!!

and just like that, january '06 is over. a short month no doubt, though at times it did feel like eternity. but really, eternity is just starting. no more long hols in a stretch. but again, that is life.

i have a problem. something's wrong with either my browser or internet provider. antville keeps prompting me to log in at every other page even when i HAVE done so countless time. as a result i can't blog when i want to... unless i bring infinite patience to each attempt.

the best solution as far as i see it is to return to blogspot in the interim. i am terribly terribly finger-itchingly tempted to do so but for the guilty, nagging fact that it feels like a betrayal and transgression. antville has served me well. and loyal, am i!

i had the illusory hope it was a temporary problem, that i did not wake up one day and suddenly find my blog not allowing me to blog as freely and frequently as i want. how is it everything works fine at work and on a comp thousands and thousands of miles away in the us of a? but just not on my desktop and laptop at home? answers people. i want answers!

till then. it would seem i will have to be satisfied with sporadic, flowers in the desert sort of blogging.

a few interesting links i found..

Emile Griffith .. sad

Children and Fantasy .. interesting

Dad Again series on Slate .. hilarious, moving, heart-warming
