Boo Hoo!

BOO: Horo-spoiler!
Pisces: An unexpected amount of cash is coming your way soon. Treat yourself, and those closest to you.
That’s what my horoscope said today. What better way to make sure it never comes true by making me expect the cash!! If I hadn’t expected it – it may have come my way! But now that I’m expecting it… so it’ll never be unexpected and it’ll never come my way  boo frikken hoo!

HOO: House Hunt
We’ve been given marching orders! And quite shockingly it’s not because I sang loudly on my balcony way past midnight many nights ago! Or that we’ve scaled the gates a couple of times drunk as skunks! Or because we’ve had more than a couple of drunken “incidents”! Probably because our landlord’s son has 3 home grown potted plants of pot!!!! Yep that’s right – weed farm! Well they’ve been more than understanding – even supportive of our youthful ways! Anyway we’ve gotta leave because his mum – our landlady – is moving back to Bangalore. Sweet old lady, so I can’t even curse too much – but it sure is a bummer going on the house hunt again!

Resolutions & Confessions

Res: I’m going to make my bed every morning – even if it means I keep my auto ride waiting an extra 2 mins. while I throw the covers into place!

Con: I had the bestest NY’s eve & morning ever – ok that’s obvious coz it always only gets better & better!! But it truly matched up to NY’s in Goa 2yrs. ago which was the best NY’s morning by far!

Res: Not eat rice (in any of its sooperbly yummy forms) more than once a day… this means no more Pongal breakfasts, Prawn-curry-rice lunches & Biryani dinners for me!!!

Con: I didn’t have a bath on the 1st of Jan!!!! …I know I felt like a piggy!! But what could I do, between taking naps in people’s houses & hitching a ride back to Bangalore I wasn’t in one place long enough to even charge my phone – forget shower! By the time I reached home at night I couldn’t give a damn about how piggy I’d been, I just passed out!

Res: I’ll drink whiskey-water/ wine instead of beer as often as is possible! Sometimes I’m just too broke for my dietary (haha) alternatives!

Con: Drank champagne with breakfast at 8 o’clock in the morning on NY’s morning! I usually switch fruit juice for Kings Beer with breakfast in Goa, but that’s usually more like brunch at noon!!!

Res: ummmm...

Con: I don’t like the taste of magic mushrooms!! Damn now I’ll never see ‘em glowing colours & magic monsters & all those crazy trippy things I’ve heard off!

Res: I’ve run out of resolutions!

Con: I made some really crappy cocktails on NY’s eve… I tried one and almost threw up!!!!

PS: I saw a Mongoose on NY’s morning – I hope it brings me good luck for the rest of the year!
