New York, New York

So I’m going to New York, if all goes well. For three months. I’ll be off next week, they say. Unless of course the visa officers have something to say about it.

And in other news, scientists find “Second Earth”. Now all they have to do is find Third Earth and we can meet the Thunder Cats. And in other news, they also find Kryptonite. Next thing we know they’re going to uncover the Star Gate in Egypt. I’m on the fifth season these days. Apparently they have cable in my apartment. Hope they have the Sci Fi channel. I need a weekly dose of at least one show that has the word “star” or “space” in it.

I dropped my Sony Ericsson K300i and broke the screen. I never liked that phone anyway, because the user interface was too clunky compared to my trusty old Nokia 3310. But I realized exactly what clunky means when I had to use a horrible old Lenovo phone until I bought a new one. DO NOT buy Lenovo phones unless you don’t mind going through five menu levels just to send an SMS. I bought a Nokia 6070 today. I’m sticking to Nokia from now on. It’s cheap, robust and I can actually take calls from it.

I also received a cricket related mail from a friend. Here’s one of the pictures:

Now I don’t know much about cricket, but this means that he’s two balls short, right?
