The Cal Effect

All right, everybody, am back in cal and having a lovely time. Just realized that a few things about life are so so strange and some just stick out like sore thumbs...

1. Every time I make a journey to college from cal or the reverse, I suffer a bout of dehydration.

2. I have to pay for the use of the net here, and the very thought is appalling.

3. As an alternative, I can go to my dad's office and use it after he is done, but for all the world, the speed at which his comp operates is equally appalling. And even though his office claims (passionately) that they have a P-3 machine, it seems incredible to me that anything apart from a Celeron charged machine can work like that!!!I mean I am almost tearing my hair out by the time the page appears.

4. Hope as a result of all that, anybody who reads it will bear with infrequent replies to comments and a slow-ish rate of updating in general for a week, after which college restarts.

5. Just realized that there's little worth watching on TV. So, all you people who watch it please suggest some stuff worth watching.

6. Food is just toooo good out here. Man, makes you wanna stay forever.

7. No one can say where your next free movie ticket's coming from!!! Just got one today for WOTW. Unfortunately everybody's discouraged me already :(

8. Somehow, everytime I come to cal, its marked by at least 3 power cuts in 24 hours. :(

9. At least, the radio stations are great. But, had to catch up with so many people that I have hardly had time to listen to it. Will definitely try picking it up in college again.

10. It seems nomenclature has been a dicey proposition for years now. Saw part of the final ODI between England & Australia at the OVAL. Now, this ground has straight boundaries each 63 m long, 1 square boundary 63 and the other 62 m long. WHY WOULD YOU CALL IT "THE OVAL"?????
