V for Vacation
Tomorrow we leave for our weeklong vacation and luckily I am not tied up at work. In fact I spent some time decoding Jason's morse code message from the Sunday strip.
Most of the weekend was spent in shopping and packing and yes the never ending work in the yard. The million dollar (actually 40 dollar) question is do I ask my neighbour to turn on the sprinklers(and more importantly turn them off) or do I buy a timed sprinkler? I am running out of time and I think I will end up buying the timer and ask my neighbour to step in, if the timer does not behave itself.
Saturday was a bit depressing because of the 1-run defeat. For the whole game I was hopeful that India would win and was constantly in touch with a not-so-optimistic friend. I did the stupidest thing. I called him to say "NAh-Nah-Nah-Nah NAA NAA" after Yuvi hit the first two boundaries and the only thing he said was "Still 2 runs in 3 balls with one wicket in hand is tough".
As a protest, I am not uploading any highlights for this match.
On a positive note, I am very glad to see a coach who wants to win so badly. It was all over Chappell's face and you could read his lips ("Come on!") after the first of the two fours (a mistimed shot past the WK actually). We are in for some fireworks in the next match. I will try to grab the scorecard somehow.
And since I was in a prankish mood, we watched a "Gags: Just for laughs" DVD yesterday. I loved it. Simple practical jokes that are very funny at times. No voiceovers, no laughtracks, just plain pranks with a simple background score. My favourite was when they hide a couple of speakers on a sidewalk. These speakers play the sound of an incoming car, applying sudden brakes and skidding just behind the victim. As soon as it is played, four people in front of the victim, walking in opposite direction, act totally horrified and run in different directions to avoid the "car". The reactions from the victims made me roll on the floor laughing, literally.
That is all from me for now, I will be back soon.
