Back to Blogging

The prodigal blogger has returned. I wonder if anyone noticed my absence?!! he he... a pathetic guy, right? Can I at least hope that I can garner some pity out of you onlookers by self-degrading process. if you didnt understand this statement, just skip it.

Still here? ahh... ahem... ok, let me exercise my raconteur skills, if there is any. I have not yet recovered from the ego-blast after not having seen my R-tickle printed in TKP, despite enthusiastic 'reviews' from some of my nears and dears. I meant friends. who did you think I was referring to? myself? nahhh, i do have some friends.

By the way, what is the approximate word count of an average blog post? I always seem to exceed it, thereby committing perjury of trampling on the blogging etiquette and wandering off in the Unmannerly Kingdom.

I can't believe you're still reading. Charles Foster Kane (Citizen Kane) stated once in his lifetime "I think it will be fun to run a newspaper". I think he was right. I am at least simulating running one. Sooo... do you have any more interesting title than 'Milan's Daily'? I didn't think so. well, it's fun. I dont have any advertisers yet. My publishers are giving me a service for free. (no, not FEE, you dyslexic). Except for the charges to the Snail Pace Dialup Corporation and Unreliance Telecom, this business is without an expense. Would you like to see the balance sheet and the income statement of the 'firm'? Dont bother, it's blank.

And please don't ask me about the viewership. Although, it is actually a profitable venture. my mind is happily employed, and i am thankful for finally having gotten something in return after feeding her morsels for the past 25+ years.

You know, this feels like a half-IM chat. I am typing something from this side. I am not sure whether there is anything happening on the recievers' end. i feel like reaching through this monitor and grabbing the jowls of the the dear readers, and train their eyes on the blogging screen. MMMAYBE Bill Gates would do something about it? Well, I am not talking about routing the information around the internet. and i am not talking about hardware either. Well, you need a 'window' to put your hands through, right? and all hands are digital (check your fingers), so there should not be any issue of incompatibility. Kapisce?

Well, this post is already long enough to test my attenti... by the way, why are those teacup/mug holding discs called 'coasters'? Does it not suggest that if you put a liquid-holder in a coaster, it will move around effortlessly? welllll, maybe in Rowling's world it might do so. I can imagine Ron looking visibly stupefied by the impudent little animated coaster, while Harry is looking all calm and sagely, reminiscing his last Quidditch game.

Another digression. Sorry. I did not intend to poke you with one of my tangents. That was very Tangentlemanly of me. Anyways and manyways, on this tangequencial note, brimming with unfathomable wits and mental wags, i must beg of my leave. Well... I guess I do not need to be doing any begging- you seem to have preempted me.

you stupid. stupid stupid. stupid. creature.

oops, sorry. I didnt think you'd reach to this line. Million pardons. What're you still doing here? Go elsewhere, and gain a few mental pounds. You're only bound to get stupidity here.

Wallace and Gromit- The Movie

They've finally made the movie! In case you dont know who they are... They're the claymations made by Aardman Animation. Great, very british, silly, hilarious, Contraptionary short films. The films made so far:
  1. A Grand Day Out
  2. The Wrong Trousers
  3. A Close Shave
  4. Creature Comforts- not a Wallace&Gromit; But this won the 1990 Oscar for 'Best Animated Short'
  5. Adam: Not W&G, Nominated, Oscar, 1992
  6. Wallace and Gromit's Cracking Contraptions
  7. Chicken Run: The one with Mel Gibson
  8. NOW: Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit
I strongly recommend you to watch this movie, if you get ahold of it.
