been looking out for a change of theme for a while.. and have gone for this one for the time.
while aplus will remain a personal favourite, renovatio has a certain sleekness that i have observed when it comes to grey.
i was experimenting with kiwi too, which incidentally, is a whole new paradigm of styling but i really need to experiment a little before i can settle on it.
comments, feedback and general thoughts are expected.
for now, endure.
i don’t know how many of you have seen the honda ad that took like 600 takes to get right, cost about a 100 times more; and won most of the accolades in the year that it was released. if you haven’t, you should - its really cool 
well, apparently its killer is here. 250,000 balls let loose in san francisco.. and one brilliant ad.
and another plug-in is on.. i’ve finally added technorati tag support via the simpletags plugin. implementation simple.. i like ! god knows why i didn’t do it before.. but its finally done, thanks to a mail from neil. he recommended qumana, but i went for the simpler option. 
well.. check it out.
its a beautiful evening here in aberdeen.
its not been the best of days.. getting up at 6 5.30 am to do menial labour isn’t exactly my idea of a good day. plus, or rather, minus there’s been no sun for the whole day. there’s been daylight, but thats very different from actually seeing those golden rays of light.
nope, we’ve had a dull day.. cloudy, but not rainy as it usually is. luckily not cold.. just about pleasant temperature too. for those who will wonder.. it has been getting steadily chilly over the last week or so.
anyway, back to what i was saying. after such a dull, dank day.. one would think that the evening would round it all off by becoming absolutely crappy. rain, wind.. well, the symptoms are all there.
but.
but, its beautiful. the clouds have a blue hue, and what little of the sky can be seen is contrasting beautifully. glints of what are either the vestiges of daylight, or the first rays of the moon glint around the edges. there is no real gale that we usually experience here, rather a pleasant breeze.. that makes it perfectly suited for walking around.
not that i’m in any mood to do so. walking around under those halogen lights in the store takes its toll. did i mention that doesn’t really make my day ?
the little that i did roam.. i passed my college grounds, and there in the distance i could see the buildings lighted from within, and the cathedral spiral rising from between them.. framed by this picturesque sky; across the lawns of the field between me and the sight made for one pretty picture.
and i had to write about it.
so here we are.
installed the ‘
and the series has now changed to ‘
damn, i’m getting the idea that i’m getting ‘old’. sheesh.
before i know it, its been more than a few days since my last post.
as always not much has happened in the interim.
currently i’m living the utterly monotonous life of waiting.
i know that isn’t really a life, but hey, now we know the problem.
the degree being over, i’ve decided to go forth and study some more. a doctorate to be exact. even thats not very exact, but… it has to be in the field i’ve done that master’s in. so, applications out, and such decisions always take time.
meanwhile, i’m keeping myself so busy with..well..work.
ah, work.
wait, i can’t call it that, its more of labour.
yeah. thats a good name for it: paid labour.
stocking yoghurts, bread, cheese, butter, juice… you get the idea. it puts money on the table.. lets leave it there. i have a feeling though, that eventually i’m going to go brain-dead.
i’m also trying that research thingy.. at my old department. not fun, but i’m getting a taste of what it might be like to actually do a phd. i’ll keep you posted about all those beautiful papers that i’m reading. ‘a technique to perform multimodal…’..
and what about all the time that leaves in between ? all that time ?
you know, ‘a suitable boy‘, movies, friends, seinfeld, music have a curious way of swallowing up time.
wow, now thats life.
crap.
