Looney Tunes dialogs

Daffy Duck:Just another parboiled minute!!!
...

Bugs: Duck Season!
Daffy: Rabbit Season!
Bugs: Duck Season!
Daffy: Rabbit Season!
... Bugs: Rabbit Season!
Daffy: Duck Season!
Elmer: (Bang)
Daffy: Yawwwwrrrr Dephfffffffffffff picable!

Personally, I like Daffy way more than Bugs. He is way more loony than Bugs. And Elmer is a bit too loony for me.

I'm Flu'ed!

I was dreading it. I went to the Patan Durbar Square to watch this Kartik (nepali month) dance... it was so boring and unhappening, that I stayed in the car, awaiting my mom who seems fascinated by how Lord Vishnu took the shape of Narsimha to slay- eviscerate, to be precise- Hiranyakashipu, demon and father of Pralhad, who's incidentally a devout worshipper of Vishnu.
The car apparently wasnt warm enough, and the chill caught me, and now I'm wretched :(

I hate these chills. The head feels like a square peg in the round skull. And the eyes feel like they're being squeezed out from their places. And I'm digitally frozen.

So I beg of my leave. Dont come too close to the monitor, or the LCD panel. You might catch Miss Influenza. And I can feel a sneeze coming!

Good Days

A rhetorical question- Why don't people on TV ever go to the bathroom?
I'll tell you the pharmula of a good day. You were supposed to have woken up early to study for the midterm, but when you open your eyes, it is already too late. Even then, your mind is strangely composed and it somehow feels like you can go through the exam without it.

You deftly evade your mom's Breakfast Calling and rush downstairs and meet Diben waiting for you on his bike. And he greets you a good morning pleasantly. During the ride to the college, the chilly morning just about only nips at your extremeties like a puppy and you are still warm.

The exams go smoothly- you only wish that you had some more time so that you could write some more of your fluid answers. And realize that oversleeping was a blessing. Although you did not do as well as you could have done, you are still gently satisfied.

You deliciously chat with your friends during the break, and do not feel the need to share your exam woes. All the while, you have this brimming desire to share this ebullience with somebody. And you compassionately do.

When Entrepreneurial Management class starts, you have this familiar and impatient tugging at your heart and know that you cannot be contained in the classroom. As if to bow down to your Supreme, Sacred Desire, sir decides to end the class in 15 minutes with the pretext that you could work on your projects.

Then you think that you somehow have this power to shape the day and make things happen. But you also revere the Day so that you decide not to use that power for now.

After some deliberation, you decide that in the evening you will hope for a conversation with a very beautiful girl, so as to put your power to the ultimate test.

Games I Play

Talking about you and me, yeh...
and the games people play.
-some singer
I am physiologically unable to play 3D games. There's invariably a lag in your control of the character of that 3D world and the resultant motion. Ok, that u didnt get, coz I wasnt being effectively expressive. What I meant is, for example, you wanted to make the hero in the game turn left... you do it by using a mouse or a joystick. The lag comes when the game software running in your computer computes the input and then translates the information as showing the left side of the 3D world. The problem is, my brain detects the lag between the input and the motion. Hence, there is a problem in the virtual reality. My brain is confused that what is being projected as a simulated reality has got some problems sooo, the confusion unproductively amasses to nausea and dizziness. :D

You getting bored? Stay a minute more. I was saying... this is why I like simple, arcade-style games. Like 2D Nintendo games- Mario brothers, Donkey Kong etc. By the way, have you played Donkey Kong? It features King Kong. The reason for the game to be called Donkey Kong is so simple that it is hard to believe. The Japanese Nintendo people conceived of the game. King Kong was being translated as 'Monkey Kong', and someone wrote Donkey instead of Monkey. Hence the game. Nevertheless, the game is quite arresting.

In games, my ego comes in the way. I like games that make me feel like a hero. I hate Chess and Bagh Chaal (the one with tigers and goats), because I hate the feeling of getting beaten; and thus, I hate the idea that there's somebody who has a better mental makeup and composure than I do. I abhor (as in, worse than just hate) getting beaten by a younger person for this reason alone, but still you will not find me admitting this fallacy, although I am doing it now.

But then, some games I like passionately enough so that getting beaten is just a minor bump in my ego trip. I like playing scrabble regardless of my rival's capability. The games that find my passion tend to be word plays- crosswords, anagram-based games, Hangmen, etc. I'm even naturally gravitated towards people with puzzling or intriguing facades :) To sum it up, I think I can safely say that I love puzzles. Could it be that it gives a momentary sense of accomplising something in life? It could. All the same, I like puzzles. And I like getting puzzled. I mean, if my prison sentence were to be a choice between a normal prison cell, or a labyrinth of unknown dangers, I would most probably choose the latter. Better some Minotaur's dinner than a vegetable. Hmm, but actually let me reconsider that. On that puzzling assertion, allow me to conclude yet another delivery of silly rambles.

You want more? I got more!
