Timps and Aditya and Anitha left for India on 29th April. The fact that Aj and I won't be going didn't really register with Timps until we started saying goodbyes at the security checkpoint. Felt cruel making him go from hopeful to surprised to disappointed. On 1st, on the phone, all Timps said was - "comecomecomecomecome, c'moncome, r u coming? come pleeeease come comecomecomecomecome" and

If there is a God, (s)he most certainly has a sense of humor (Platypus never convinced me)! Found this on Mental_Floss. The characters' quips couldn't be better!!Laughter is good. *Sigh*p.s. that first link about Platypi quotes from the movie 'Dogma', which made me a fan of Kevin Smith. He directed and acted (and I think wrote) the movie. Its gross but funny. Another gross but funny movie of his

Can't get enough of this song - 'Keep on Galloping' by Korpiklaani - warning: link opens video. The video is somewhat dark, but I Love the music. They are influenced by Finnish folk music. Here are the lyrics I found after a search that required unusual effort. (I intend to learn it and sing it when no one's around, specially Finns). Keep on gallopingmy black horsecarrying meto unknown

I found this website to make simple animations online. Very easy! And above is my first animated stick figure with a belly. It is an animated gif image. Blogger won't show it moving.

We had some severe weather yesterday evening, between 5 and 6 I think. Some trees have fallen near my building.The power went off and wasn't back until about 1 A.M. Reminded of times in Tumsar when I thought papa could bring back power anytime. Another tree:I wish they'd plant them back and the trees would survive but I suspect they'll simply cut them and haul them away.My flower pots (2 if you

If you were fan of P.G. Wodehouse's Wooster and Jeeves, and have watched Hughg Laurie and Stephen Fry play the parts, this alarm clock is just what you need to wake up smiling. Click on Enter, then click on one of the first two clock links to listen to Jeeves. I know it is not cheap what with the dollar trailing the pound and all. Learned about the clock at mentalfloss.com.var gaJsHost = (("https

As I had expected and wished, Roy Blunt Jr. was on the panel at the Wait Wait show. The others were - Charlie Pierce and Paula Poundstone. I now have a leaflet from the show autographed by them all plus Peter Sagal and Karl Cassel(and so do about hundred others who waited till after the show). The hall was packed, I'd say a couple hundred people. The show was as good as I had expected.This is

Wait Wait Don't Tell Me is coming to Birmingham!! I bought a ticket. They are my most favorite podcast. Listen to their archives. They are hilarious. All of their panelists are extremely funny (in a witty way). Specially Roy Blunt Jr (I think he is from Al). I am surprised the show has not migrated to TV yet.Feb 28th, Thursday. Maybe I will get their autographs!?

Maybe this is what makes the laughing club people laugh for no apparent reason in parks -youtube video. Found this, thanks to Mental Floss, currently my fav. magazine. And what more, one of the founders of the magazine is from Alabama!
