Of Daylight saving time, Friends and a birthday party

Today daylight saving time ends in the US and Canada, which means we get an additional hour today to sleep. Woo hoo !! I woke up today looking at my watch showing 8:30 and realized it was 7:30 instead due to the end of DST. Did that felt nice.... you feel like you go back in time, by an hour and it seems you lived an hour that didn't officially exist anymore. That is cool !! Had some postive energy flowing all day. Apart from personal benefits, on the nature perspective, it turns out that the DST was being adopted to save energy during the summer. Cool again. 

BTW, Friends is amazing. This sitcom was a favourite of mine, but never had the opportunity or the luxury of getting my hands on all the ten seasons. Now i do ! Through Netflix, i've rented all the 10 seasons of the Friends and i'm through with 4 seasons already, sequentially, in ascending order, should i say. It is amazing, can't wait to watch the rest of it. 

                           Yesterday night we went to a colleague's birthday treat, at the Main event - to enjoy the night, bowling. Actually, i and a room mate of mine didn't know it was a birthday party. We just thought we were going for a bowling game like we usually do on the weekends. Once we were there, we were waiting to start the game and order a pizza as we were hungry. But earllier we'd been told by some colleagues of ours that they were planning to go to Main event for bowling and asked us we'd like to join. We thought it was gonna be the five of us. Little did we know that these guys were bringing more people and eventually the total was 12. It wasn't a problem to us. What was a problem is that we were now made to wait for the birthday boy to arrive and then its gonna be his treat. Since everyone else knew it was gonna be late before everyone reaches there, they all had something to eat before they came there. We guys having come to know of all this only after we reached there, were now left with no choice but to wait for the birthday boy, with all the hunger (which was adding fuel to the raging anger). If only we had been communicated in advance we would have been less frustrated. Boy, are these poor communicators of all..... What on earth was it gonna cost them, if they jus told us about this whole thing when they first asked us to come. I and my room mate just mumbled to ourselves and let the celebration get to us and we enjoyed the game. We didn't want to make a scene there, so just kept it to ourselves but swore to ask every single detail the next time we hang out (esp with these guys). Being single can drive you nuts too !!
