Numb, the mind has become.

The desire to be entertained has become stronger than ever. Strong enough to prevent me from doing anything else but seek entertainment. All I've been doing for the past few week(end)s is play video games, watch movies and listen to music. Thanks to my mum.

What does my mother have to do this, you ask? Well, she returned from her trip early this month. And with her came a GeForce 6800LE AGP card, a 7-speaker home theatre system (which supports a whole lotta formats, including DivX), a Sony Ericsson W800i mobile phone, a 2.1 speaker system for the computer, and an awesome pair of headphones for my mp3 player. So every weekend I'm home, I try to make the maximum possible use of the above, except the phone and headphones. Hell, I endured a Star Wars and Godfather movie marathon yesterday and today. And enjoyed watching Baraka on the TV instead of a 15-inch monitor the week before. Borrowed games that I couldn't play before due to an old GeForce 2 video card.

When I'm away at the hostel for the rest of the week, I'm thinking about what movies I should watch when I get back home, while playing Yeti Sports on my phone and listening to songs in shuffle mode on my player. When I'm not in College, that is. There I'm trying to convince friends that Yeti Sports is bad for health and trying to get my phone back from them.

And that's why you aren't reading an entry about why it's really stupid idea to make a short film for the first time in your life in one friggin' day. Or an entry about how I lost a bag full of clothes, a phone recharge card worth Rs. 330 and my room keys. Consider yourselves lucky. And be fooled into thinking that this is a whole new design when it's just a slightly tweaked version of the previous one. MSN Astrology predicted the template change - "Today you could be in a creative frame of mind. Your artistic blah blah... Even if you are just working on your computer, you could design graphics for a web page". I didn't know MSN had associations with the NSA/CIA/FBI/Interpol.
