Updates

My cousin Roshan had commented to some of my earlier posts - it was then that I realized that I hadn't posted in a while - so here goes.

I've started my diet - am now controlling my calorific and fat intake - and let me tell you - it is extremely hard. I think that it helps that I don't have a car at the moment. Why? Well, last week, someone who is on the lower end of the evolutionary scale drove his car into mine! Instead of leaving a note like any civillized person, they drove off! Now this happened in my office parking lot - which is access controlled. I would have thought that it would have made a difference, but I guess not. So my car is being repaired, and I won't have her back until tomorrow. You don't realize how much you depend upon things until they are gone.

So what else? I'm trying to convince my parents to come over for Thanksgiving. It looks like they will - so that should be fun. I'm planning on going back to the UK for Christmas and the New Year - will book my tickets this week - after I've got my car back. I've been quoted $921 to fix her up, but that was just an estimate. Hopefully it will not be much more than that. Tickets back home are going to set me back close to $1000 too. With my taxes due, this is not a good time financially for me! Then again, when is it ever ? :o)

Music - I had preordered "All the lost souls" by James Blunt, and iTunes has just sent me a note saying that it is ready for download. You may remember James Blunt as the metrosexual singer of "You're beautiful", which is a song that you can't forget - no matter how you try!

So James has released a new song called "1973" which is actually quite good. Since I was born in 1973, I guess it has extra significance for me - or am I just grasping here?

I'm having trouble embedding the video here - not sure why - so here's the link to the video in YouTube:
