winges of the week

aa dearies

so, almost burnt down the house yesterday. in an attempt to make some toast (mod: yes i DO know how) i did in fact make some excellent charcoal, whilst discovering an ideal renewable source of energy in bread (fossil fuels eat your heart out). basically, was down to make meself some breakfast and upon deciding that the toast didnt look done enough the first time, i sent it down again for further work. few minutes later i came back to the kitchen to find it a lovely ball of smoke with a merry fire flickering along over the toaster. hovering a moment to contemplate my next move, i decided to throw all good advice on the handling of electrical fires out the window and promptly tossed a glass of water over the conflaguration-the fire was out and an uncomfortable sizzling sound ensued (oh, and i switched the plugs off). theres still a singed smell about the house-i hope giddyA's bro didnt suffocate (kiddo was over in search of geek refuge).

later at lunch, i managed to spill half my bowl of cereal (yes, that was my lunch-times are hard when you've got exams) across the dining room table, floor, my own clothes and, to bally well top it off, my talking cow slippers pink had generously bestowed upon me. i mopped up the mess, not a little provoked, and finished off the remains of my lunch.

dinner: there being no rice left on the premises (i am a practicing bengali after all) i decided that toast and curry would be in order (bless bb, he cooked before deserting us). however, as i discovered, the toaster, clearly unamused by the morning's escapade, had decided that it had darn well had enough of existence in the ol' bachelor/ette pad and had gone in for early retirement. there was to be no toast. i made do with an egg sandwich-with untoasted bread :P.

so frankly, not a good day for food. methinks it had something to do with my thoughts on composing a bit of verse entitled 'good food and the cardamom' that morning (mod:one gets these inspirational whims). my guardian angels must not have approved for service on the guarding front was clearly a tad lax.

o almost forgot to mention-its my BLOGGER BDAY (dunno exactly when tho)! the sundylot reminded me:).
happy b'day to blog
happy b'day to blog
happy b'day to dayy-zeee
happy b'day to blog!
(i'd cut and paste my ode to the blogosphere here but this blogs getting long as it is)

it seems my desire for being an ostentatious drama queen substantially overrides my desire to work hard and do well in my exams-have broken the rules again.

well, atleast im not in denial about it :).

Aha! Another failed cook!

Although I have heard that you DO have some skill as long as it don't involve a toaster.

I on the other hand, am proficient with the toaster.

lol:).

o not sure about AE's tonight-am behind in the revision dept n first eggjams on monday. if i get enough work done iA. have been missing thy pink face too.

yes fudge, i shall from now refrain from approaching toasters :D. methinks my biodata will have a mention: 'can cook but not toast. prospectives profecient with a toaster preferred.'

ps-i just recalled that mb had expressed plans of getting rid of the old toaster a couple of days ago-that toaster had it coming.

You know, most people get toasters when they get hitched.

Are you sure nas and bb don't have a spare one? Or maybe three?

According to the much vaunted song, you can get toasters on ebay.

dazey u cant chuck water at the toaster and not expect it to go into early retirement,lol.

but if u r feeling truly deprived of toast u can use the grill (but keep watch) n if its gas chuckin water at it will probably not cause it to retire. ya grill does work right?

all the best with ya eggjams
