Randomness

January 29, 2010

If I could just get over this mind-numbing jet lag, maybe I'd find the mental capacity to write a coherent paragraph.  But alas, I am still staring blankly at this screen with a headache pulsing from my left temple and all I can muster is a point-form smattering of random thoughts.  Please bear with me a few more days while I try to convince myself that this insanity that has come over me is temporary.

  • I think the iPad is one of the worst names ever.  Couldn't it sound just a tad cooler?!  iTablet? iSlate? iAnythingElseButPad?!  
  • On my books-to-buy list:  Committed by Elizabeth Gilbert and Linchpin by Seth Godin. If any of you have read these, please let me know what you thought!  I'm debating which of the two I should start first.
  • Infinite freedom is a cause for hardship.  I know, this sounds ironic, but it's true.  I am going through a slough of decisions and it really doesn't help that I seem unable to narrow it down to three possible paths.  It's actually a bit stressful.  I know, I should be thankful, and I totally am, but seriously, the paradox of choice is real and it sucks!
  • I think I'm allergic to Bear (our dog).  That's a problem, right?  How do I cope with that?!  And to think we were considering getting her another shiba puppy playmate!
  • Saw Avatar on a hot afternoon in Singapore last weekend.  What a great film!  Can't believe it's the highest grossing movie of all time.  It was good, but was it that good?!
  • To deal with jetlag, I've been catching up on episodes of Glee and Grey's Anatomy and Brothers & Sisters.  All great shows.  And I'm so glad that I watch them all on-demand as opposed to becoming slave to weekly TV.
  • Do you have 15 minutes to spare?  A long but interesting read about marriage (thanks to my friend S.M. for sharing)

Happy weekend everyone!
