Last weekend slipped through my fingers like sand, had a lot of things to take care of, but managed to get some longtime pending work done (which is unusual for me on a weekend).
So here is what happened..
Fri 7:45 PM
I am just back from work and thinking of taking a nap. But I have a party to attend. I am not very excited at the prospect of getting out of the bed, but hey, its a chance to meet old friends.
Sat 10:15 AM
Ohh S*it, we have to move to a new place today and we haven't even yet packed our .., err stuff. Wake up everybody, miles to go before we sleep (again).
Sat 11:43 AM
It seems like eternity since I am packing these books. But on a positive side, I became pretty good at tying 4-5 books together in a bundle using a thin rope. Then I realize why Henry Ford was so successful with the concept of Assembly line. People really get good (but also bored) by doing the same thing again and again.
Sat 1:03 PM
Where is the tape? (In case you have forgotten, duct tape is a very important part of life. It holds everything from broken toilet windows to wires in your hand-assembled-positronic-time-machine together (maybe it also holds the universe together, who knows). To know about many other important things in life (like towel) read h2g2)
Sat 3:17 PM
Finally at the new place. A quiet, residential neighbourhood. And BIG rooms. But the kitchen tubelight does not work. Gotta talk to landlord.
Sat 6:42 PM
Since time immemorial I am postponing the purchase of a new hard disk. Today is the day to do it.
Sat 11:37 PM
Sabayon managed to f*** up the partition table, time to reinstall..
Sun 12:00 AM
Happy Birthday Anna.
Sun 2:23 AM
What has happened to linux distributions? My debian DVD won't work, and fedora is unable to start X-server after full installation.
Sun 01:12 PM
Unable to sleep, I am at Crosswords. Found 'The man who knew infinity', a biography of the great Indian mathematician, S.Ramanujan. I will be busy for a few days now, my friends.
Sun 03:40 PM
At home, I am very tired, need some sleep. The reinstallation did allow me very little sleep last night.
Sun 4:00 PM
Here comes the electrician and there goes my sleep. But no choice. Let the drilling begin..
Time Unknown
What is this trr, trr. And (to my horror) I realize its my alarm clock. It shows the day as Monday (but to appreciate the horror you must be an IT engineer). But I have very little choice now. Gotta get ready for work. Hope next weekend will arrive sooner.

So, where are u staying now? And you got the book man, what else you need?
By the way, whose birthday was that? Anna? you didn't tell me that you live with a girl named Anna. ;-)
One more thing, the timings that you wrote should have been more specific like, instead of Sun 03:40 PM it should be Sun 03:43273627362783890878 PM
;-)
