Lost in a good book!!

Was so lost...that I landed up falling asleep no sooner than past page 5 (and having updated my gtalk status that I was "lost in a good book :):)"!!! Sigh...

But it IS GOOD......Just too good that I fell asleep!!!

Tooned Out or Tuned out!!!

The conversation with my friend today, something along the lines of...

Me : that reminds me need to get rid of "a box" lying under my bed!!!!

Mrs N: lol. why do u think i hang ard u? u r my own personal cartoon

Me: lol

Mrs N: and i lovveee cartoons. so there

Me: lol. am so not a toon

Mrs N: but they base their stories on u

Me: ha ha, like

Mrs N: anything involving tripping over, forgetting to take like this whole box under the bed

i bet there is a cartoon right there its certainly a cartoon in my head when i imagine ur face

So I've now come to the realisation that am my own toon character in the making...somewhere between calvin n hobbes and a bridget jones!!!!

And the converstation moves on talking to Mrs N in Mumbai minutes after the solar eclipse in India...

Mrs N: So could you see the eclipse?
(me replying, considering am stuck in the middle of nowhere far from the eclipse that caused me to catch the action online on NDTV!!!)

Me: yep, on ndtv and u?

Mrs N: me too

Me: u mean on ndtv. lazyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Mrs N: lol
Me: could have just stuck your head out of your window!!!

Now that's left me wondering who is more tuned/tooned out!!!!

Spared the fairy god mother a trip!!!

A friend of mine at work brought in this massive, huge, colossal pumpkin from his farm!!! Thanks Kermit! T'was home grown - so would be absolutely delicious so was well worth carting it all the way back home in the train despite people giving me strange looks (as it was nowhere close to haloween!!). However there was a slight problem besides the pumpkin ferrying -- uhhhmm, I've never quite cooked a pumpkin before!!

Was initially just banking on a fairy god mother to apparate and wave her magic wand about and turn it into something remotely edible as its my first time experiementing with one. The only other options were pumpkin soup, pumpkin scones, pumpkin pie but was just way too boring and long drawn out, however decided to be a bit adventurous instead and it turned out quite yummmm...(and spared the fairy god mother a trip!!)

Must try it next time with some shrimp !! (heard that it goes well with the flakey shrimp or prawn balichow)
