Have also started GMATting and blogging about it at http://techsieveonline.blogspot.com. My Ubuntu CD arrived (did you know they post em free?!) still to find time to de-Windowfy my Dell.

Had a weird fainting spell thing 3 nights ago and owing to hypochondriac mommy spent Saturday morning @ Doc's. Turned out unfortunately for potential mommy-and-me-i-told-you-so-conversations that mommy dearest was right and there was an underlying reason. Nothing fatal, need to get a couple million tests done and confirm polycystic somethingies so I can start medications. Ugh!

As a result, oranges and figs are being forced down my throat by the dozen and I am off non-veg (that part's voluntary). Anyway, another week begins tomorrow.

Friend sent me email about friend who knows friend who is publishing poem compilation and I shd send over some of my work. For some reason, had urge to protect work from prying eyes of publisher who might discard it in 30 second reading, hence breaking my heart. Must get over idiocy.

Also found out friend leaving on 28 July for MS. Everyone disseminating. Why? When will we all be together again? Must not brood on past. Not really brooding actually, more a single hen, or even chick, if you will (Ref: brood of chickens? Oh fine, I'll get over it.)

Brooding on future by the by, when will I have chance to come back to India? That's what I want to know.

Also spent time at nearby second hand book sellers running closing down sale and found chinese horoscope book similar to Linda Goodman. Am piqued to know that I am Gemini Tiger, which are most emotionally sensitive of Gemini clan. Also, have moon in Capricorn. Surprise surprise.  Thank God for the Gemini-ness though, helps keep a bit of a thick skin.

PS Why is the whole world going crazy over the 'Sex and the City' movie? Pls go watch 'Then she found me' instead. TRQ, expect a review on that one soon.
