I've been offline pretty much for the last 3-4 days. We had just been to my nth Vegas trip. It is almost laughable that I blow up a couple of hundred dollars in just going to Vegas even after all these years and so many trips there. The funny thing is that I am not fond of gambling. So, why the hell do I keep doing this? I will try to elaborate on another post.
My ex roommate and good friend, S***V, visited me with his wife A***A. I had a good time with them yesterday. He came over and stayed with me for the night. They both are really nice. His wife gave good company to mine when she was cooking. My friend has always been a good fan of my music skills. He always likes to watch me play and listen to my recordings. He knows that I am a big sweet fan. So he got me some german chocolate pie from Marie Callender's. How nice!
Today, we spent good part of the day with another friend in San Diego. We three were roommates at some point of time - in 1999-2001. I really had a great time with these people. Wonderful team we were, inside the apartment. There was no schedule as to who will cook everyday, who will wash stuff and all that. We were in perfect agreement. Each one of us were pretty responsible and sensitive to the others' needs and had a big resonance between us. That is very hard to come by. I really missed them when I had to move out. Now each one of us have got married. One of them is almost having a kid now. Things change.
My friend in San Diego is like an information superhighway. He really is a walking encyclopedia. He knows so much. He has such memory and observation and interest in the general happenings in the world. You could ask him any question and he almost always has an answer that's very pertinent. That is a difficult talent/skill/gift to have. I should encourage him to start his own FAQ site, something like the wikepedia. He will have a lot to offer. He should be writing a blog on his own. It will be very popular. I should suggest him to do that. But since he is having a baby soon, he may not be interested. Regardless, I should tell him. Such a nice guy. His wife is indeed lucky to have him as the husband.
So what else? I had some thoughts on comparing Vegas with Tirupathi. I will post it separately. I'll rest my fingers for now. There is Schindler's list DVD laying around in my house. Will have to watch it. I am trying to set the mood for it. But my wife seems to be in no big hurry to watch it :)
