Krake daar sardi ka anubhav in Lubbock!

In my close to 2 year stay at this place... its my first experience with snow... I decided to stay at home today and convinced my roomies to get an internet connection!

I don't want to freeze myself when all i need to get the work done is my laptop and an internet connection!

Last night I literally froze while coming back home from the library. shuttle service runs on the campus and the outskirts.. walking the last 600 foot steps reminded me of walking in the product blast freezers , the most dreaded of all my tasks of my last job.

Thinking of job, has made me aware of my present finacial distress, hope fully I will get paid next year.

Regards,

Consumer woes and the US food market..

The crazy US food market! The cause of obesity in US of A. Its not the sytem so much to blame but every morsel of processed food you put in your mouth can be traced to corn in some form or the other.

High fructose corn syrup. Modified starch occurs so high up in the food label in almost 90% of the foods a consumer buys. Its a shaming fact, cuz even besides the attempts at making the consumer aware of all this ; there are simply non existent options for an average busy consumer. RTE Food is like a slow poison that gets ingested at every meal time and the only other option is to get fresh food and cook at home, then too there is no guarantee that it is not hormone or something else injected or irradiated.... damn!
I wish I can keep my meals simple and wholesome.

So please choose carefully which poison you would prefer for your meal. It really ends in tradeoff among the expensive and cheaper version and the fight for the trusted brand names.

Foods stay fresh, hardly ever spoil... but did u ever see how it spoils if it does at any time.... u would know what I mean. The concept of organic is kicking up.... as a result but is unaffordable...
I am reading this book by Upton Sinclar, named "The Jungle" and the only improvment in the industry over the span of a century has been the hygine aspect... and that too I am sure cuz of the recall scare.. besides that I things it is all the same...
this book is avalable here http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/Literature/Sinclair/TheJungle/

A Dell Experience, ... with disgust!

Early this year i saw that my Labtop hand rest has hairline cracks on both the edges. At that time I was in the 1 yr warranty period so I was able to get it replaced without any hassle. But this problem has occoured again... what to do?
I talked to the dell customer support person, and they recommended me to call the out of warranty assistance. .. what the heck,.. I don't have that kind of money to waste on that stupid issue.. but it seems like a recuuring issue... the same thing has happened again so... it would continue and eventually i would buy a new laptop... eventually. Till now decided to live with it, the way it is.
My crappy software is giving me some licence server issues and has refused to start from the past 3 days!. My prof is sick with flu and is not responding to my sos calls... so my work has hung up and all this mess has put me in a terrible mood. Being technically challenged as I found out recently and my aptitude and patience for this kind of stuff is too low.

I have finally decided that I am going to decide nothing! as regards anything for my future and let things come my way and then deal with them as i see fit.

I am finding myself in wierd mood these days, I would like to term it as brooding.
Have been listening to the same 3 songs for hours in the past 3 days... I still don't remember the lyrics but am ready to hear somthing new.

Today we had a departmental thanksgiving luncheon downstairs, which I decided not to attend because of the limited vegetarian options available and justified my decision from past experince where i had ended up picking on the food, which was pathetically nothing but chips and smiling at ppl you don't know, don't have anything to talk about except nodding your head like a bobby pin and feeling silly and out of place. So instead ended up being a social recluse and muched on my pack of Rosemary & Olive Oil Triscuit. I had been saving some candy for a freind for a while but I ate that too. So now should I give them an unsealed box or buy a new one? with this I have stopped to surprize myself at how disgusting and pathetic I can get!

Happy Thanksgiving!
