KGP summers

Today's Calvin Quote(TCQ henceforth)..."Weekends aren't worthwhile unless you have spent it doing something absolutely worthless"

So after spending some 30 days in doing absolutely nothing i am exploring the last reaches into my list of useless things to do. And blogging hits the right note on a lazy Sunday afternoon when it's literal "agnivarsha" outside.

Well I was in a self appraisal mode today tabulating my achievements over the past 30 days.

1.) Some 15-20 odd movies including a lot of Hitchcock classics including Rebecca, The Rope( i recommend this especially for James Stewart), Vertigo, The Man Who Knew Too Much, The Lady Vanishes and of course Dial M for Murder. A few others from other genres were "Sky Captain and the world of Tommorow", this one is realy kwel, reminds you off all those saturday morning DuckTales and Tales Spin except that the principal charachters are Jude Law, Gwyenth Paltrow(hope the spelling's correct) and the very sexy Angelina Jolie, then there was "Dog Day Afternoon" a brilliant performance by Al Pacino.
So that comes to approximately 60hrs of time well wasted.

2.) The Jumble game on DC++, well for non kgpians and kgpians pre circa 2004 its a jumble and trivia game on the local network, i have managed a score of 22196 which makes it a ranking of 23/725 each word is on an average of 10 points hmmm...that makes it mm...2220 words approx and on an average i get a word a minute...that makes it hmm... 2220/60 making it 37 hours of wasted time.

3.) Apart from this a lot of time is invested in food, in the absence of a hostel mess, each meal is an adventure requiring hours of planning and deliberations with each person having his own efficeint solution of cost vs. taste.

Well the above makes a nice enough report card for the summer, a few more days to go so the list is pretty much final.
