BOLLYWOOD STALKING

So I got a call today about getting my laptop fixed. Missed the call and called the guy back. Then came the call from DELL from tech support which is apparently in India. You know that your company is the shit when your customer service reps are in another country and English is their second language.

So, I was trying to find out if it was the same guy i had initially spoken to and to whom I had been unneccessarily rude so that I could apologise when before I knew it, I was embroildered in a conversation of one of my guilty pleasures: BOLLYWOOD. I found myself talking for almost ten minutes with this guy whose name I don't know, swapping critics of films I had seen.

The next thing, the desi asks if he can log into my computer from India ( they can apparently do that so they can fix whatever is wrong). Idiot (me) too replied yes, thinking that since the initial conversation had begun about a fault with the computer, then that was what he was trying to get back to.

He then asks me if I had pictures of myself on my laptop.....ALARM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I clumsily warded him off using the excuse that as a design student, most of the pictures on my laptop would be of my projects and scanned floor plans. This guy tells me that he will check me out on FACEBOOK.

So, guys, if you do not hear from me it is because I have been kidnapped and taken to Bangalore/Calcutta/New Delhi/ Mumbai or wherever the desi is residing.

Lesson: No unnecessary conversations to people you do not know. i guess I was uncharacteristically (hope that is the correct spelling) in need of a conversation.

Till next time, NAMASTE

My laptop and I

My laptop and I began our relationship in 2005. We have been through so much together over the past two years and he has put up with alot from me. He has borne the burden of running at least four cad softwares at the same time. Stayed up 48 hrs straight with me and apart from a few hiccups and colds, my baby has stood by me.

Last month, despite contracting an inhibiting virus and being in need of a transfusion, my baby limped along and worked with me to produce my project.

Today, my baby has gone deaf. His speakers are out and even when I connect headphones to him, there is no sound because the connection's grip is cracked. What have I done to my baby? I know I have fallen asleep and spilled glue all over his keys, slapped the monitor all the way backwards, dropped the bag in which he is carried, downloaded unspeakable images and videos unto his memory (and probably scarred him for life), listened to the same song over and over and over (and I mean song not songs), neglected him when I had no homework, shut him down abruptly because I was impatient with his speed of response but now I am so lonely without him.

Well he is fully functional oh (don't let me sepe for myself and he will kukuma pack up and refuse to work...he has done that before; and I need him. Have finals meeen) but he cannot speak to me and I cannot hear him.

Thus, in design class today, I had no choice but to listen to the sounds of the world around me. Sounds that previously, I would have blocked out with my pilot style Bose headphones.

I was wondering why I was having a headache and then I realised that instead of listening to Ali Angel croon to me in french (which I do not speak)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UR6PGZaEb0A or Minmi http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfrVhba7vhA

perform in Japanese ( also cannot speak but I will learn if it means I get to jump Ken Watanabe's

bones); I was listening to my classmates singing out loud in many tones and pitches that resembled nothing of what the original songs were.

So, I am lonely and waiting for the DELL tech guy (who is apparently based in INDIA) to send out a tech dispatch to someone in the states to come and fix my laptop.

Till then, my sweet, we can only see we cannot speak.

They should sha hurry up.

I usually post about three to four in rapid succession. Because that is when I have the time.
Enjoy and if you are Nigerian, bask in the online talents of your many Nigerian brethren who are using the internet to express themselves and release their thought into the universe

Nigerians why?

Why do they keep doing this?
Are they even aware that the men and women orchestrating these riots and murders care for no one other themselves?
Has money become the new cancer eating and festering amongst us as a people?
What are we supposed to learn from this, Oh God?

Ladies and Gentlemen, I am in Bollywood Mourning.

FOOTBALLERS WIVES

I am so in love with the series, it's unbelievable.
I have always preferred british soaps and Shed Productions http://www.shedproductions.com/, has never failed me with their productions. I was nearly disowned by my mother because I was basically useless around the house when Bad Girls was on and now, ladies and gentlemen, I have found a new obsession: FOOTBALLERS WIVES.
Where can I start. Let's just say that as usual America has realised once again that it really does not have the capacityh to produce good old fashioned soap series that it is now going to make a spin off of the show and probably milk it to death. Look at American Idol and you will see what I mean. But I say, I do not care which actresses they put, no one can take the place of Tanya Turner (Zoe Lucker)http://www.footballerswives.tv/characters/char_tt.html or Sal Biagi( Daniel Schutzmann)http://www.footballerswives.tv/characters/char_sb.html. I am so in love with the latter that I am even fantasizing about dating an italian( which he isn't actually) even though I have heard countless times that they are quite racist.
I have season one on DVD and two and three are on their way if only my www.amazon.com vendor will speed things up.
I am waiting to see the mess the american version is going to make. http://www.accessatlanta.com/blogs/content/shared-blogs/accessatlanta/peachbuzz/entries/2007/03/16/gabrielle_union.html. Why can't you guys make an original idea that has not been rehashed to pieces? Ehn?
