Boring office days

Its a boring afternoon at work now. Just finished my lunch and came to my seat about 30 minutes back. Feeling very sleepy and i might doze off any moment now. This is not the first time that i feel this way. It doesn't really mean that i'm work-less now. But its just that i've seen busier days. Got a few bugs to fix (what a bugger i am). Won't it get any better ?
Of course, i feel better than what i did a couple of weeks ago (some stress that i had). So, I thought my wish came true. May be i got used to it. Weekends are much better. Would prefer spending most of the weekends outside, but hardly get a chance to. But atleast i'm happy that they are not bad.

Tring... tring......Hello ?

I hate ringtones. Not all of them. Just loud and jarring ringtones of some mobile phones. I hate it when people have these really loud ringtones which also sound crazy and annoying.They don't have to put them in silent/vibrating mode, but they can atleast keep it low, unless they want everyone to know that they are getting calls. I'm having to deal with some at the moment. Either these guys are partially deaf or they are going to end up making one out of myself.

New apartment & Garage, No cable connection and a new headset

We (I and my room mates) are all pissed off. Because we were told we can't have the dish installed for DirectTv near our apartment owing to space issues and the unavailability of angle from our side of the apartment. Not even on the roof. The technician checked all the possibilities to install, but the attempts were in vain. WTF !@&#, we can't watch vijay TV now. DirecTV was the only one carrying it. 

We moved to a new 2 bed apartment last month and we were planning to have DirecTV installed at the new place just for watching Vijay TV, we liked a few programs on Vijay TV. We were really excited about that. All that was flushed down the drain when we were told that we can't possibly have the dish installed.   

I happened to get a new garage right below our apartment after we moved into the new apartment. This one proves advantageous, esp. in the winter coz you can drive your car into the garage and walk up to your apartment from within without exposing yourself to the outside freezing cold. I had a garage earlier too when we stayed in the older apartment, but it happened to be in another building and i had to walk a few yards to my building. Even walking a few yards when its terribly cold in the winter, is excruciatingly painful. The winter is approaching already, hope its not as cold as last year.

Had been quite a while since i fed my spending instincts and now it couldn't hold on any longer. I was looking out for the Aliph jawbone 2, a bluetooth headset that has the best ratings all around, expensive though. Last week i managed to snap one for a good price and the sweet thing arrived yesterday by mail.  Came in a neat pacakaging with a good smart design. The headset itself is a thing of beauty and feels nice when worn. A good headset altogether.

As i keep myself busy in more things that i can buy, shall post more about them.

Will this change ?

Off late i have a bad hangover(No ! i don't drink!!) and i don't know why. Maybe its a bit of frustration at work or a little of friction here and there with a few fellow mates.  I don't seem to take any thing in the right sense, and the attitude of the people that i rub shoulders with everyday don't help the cause either. I wake up wanting to do so many things. When i sleep, i really don't look back at things that i did or didn't. So definitely its not a sense of dissatisfaction. So what is it ? Will this change ? 

Good times have come and gone in my life before i have realized that they have passed by. This is not one of them.  I've seen better times. Wish i can go back to those. 

We always live in eternal hope wishing for good times and i'm in such a state now. I've begun to sincerely believe that life comes a full circle and that i would see light at the end of the tunnel i'm in right now. [Hopefully i wouldn't have to pen down such a blog then]. Anyways, to those that are reading this, may happy times be with you.

Leaving las vegas II

Contd....

So at about 2 AM, it was time for the stratosphere to be closed and we were asked to leave the terrace. we came down and we realized we hardly any juice in us to walk back to the parking lot. With a mammoth-ean effort we reached the car and headed home, a busy day its been.

 

               Oh, i forgot to mention about the Ka show that we went to on the first day, before we set off for Grand canyon. This was a show in the MGM grand and it was a spectacular show (like a musical play with stunts et all sans dialogues). With the stages moving like magic carpets leaving the artists floating in the air and backed up by a brilliant and thunderous musical score, this show simply captured the imagination. Nothing short of a visual and an aural treat, all the five senses were kept occupied throughout the show. The show is around 110 USD per head, but thanks to the friend who came with us, with his student id card, we all got a 30 dollar discount each on the ticket. Money well spent, we thought at the end of the show.

                       On our way back from the grand canyon, we happened to pass over the Hoover dam built across the colorado river. For the uninitiated, this is the dam that features in the recent movie 'Transformers'  and some more movies like the Golden eye, and one other Harrison Ford movie i'm told. We had saved the photo session on the dam for our return back to las vegas from grand canyon. And now was the time, took a few minutes and spent a couple of clicks before we set off to vegas.

                        Cut back to the day after our return to vegas, we woke up pretty late in the morning after around 10 am (which is close to noon really) , we strode off to the remaining casinos in the sin city. we visited Caesar's palace, Venetian, Wynn - all casinos that also had other  attractions built inside them. We rounded off the day with two shows, one at the Wynn which was a aquatic acrobatics show and another at the MGM grand - David copperfield's magic show.

We were immersed with the acrobatics show at Wynn - it was called the Le Reve - this again had amazing music and wonderful acrobatics stunts on water - the best i've ever seen. 

To talk of the David copperfield show, we were simply spell bound (No pun intended).

We couldn't believe our eyes when a car appeared on the stage from thin air. There were a couple of other tricks that he performed that looked like less than ordinary but kept us entertained no doubt. At the end of the day, our pockets were lighter, so were our hearts.

       There were atleast half a dozen shows at other casinos that we couldn't cram into our holiday schedule, managing just three of the best shows in vegas (that i talked of above) . If you are not the kind that wants to spend the night life at vegas boozing and gambling, these shows are a safe bet. I would recommend not missing the shows at vegas for a wonderful holiday, couples and singles alike. Having spent enough money and time on the best-holiday-of-life at vegas, we woke up on the fourth day to catch our morning flight back to Dallas, reaching home after about 2 in the afternoon. We retired for a good rest and there ended our holiday to vegas.
