Verk, movies and randomania

It has been a while indeed,,,

Been working for 3 weeks straight without 1 day off except a few hrs on a Friday.
10AM-10PM then break from 10PM-12AM and 12AM-3AM….
Every time I decided not to work late, I get tempted by the clarity I get past midnight. Somehow after a long day of meetings and day to day mumbo, everything comes together and my mind is finally ready to spill ideas, quickly answer e-mails and write lengthy memos & reports effortlessly...In most cases, I enjoy it and feel some adrenaline pumping (Strange)

Been out on the boat a few times, again with my laptop and huge latte and enjoying the lovely weather. Isn’t it a blessing? Where else in the world is the weather this time of year so kind?
Hope all of you peeps who love to complain about the weather are out there on your bikes, in your running shoes or simply taking a stroll in what feels like the birth of spring.
I tried to have most of my meetings outdoors, the thing is the person/s I’m meeting end up being too comfy and the 1hr meeting becomes 2hrs, I then have to lie and pretend like I have another meeting and move elsewhere to another café, why aren’t we allowed to be blunt enough to say. “It was really nice meeting with your and now will you excuse me, I have to get back to work, maybe we can have another chat some other time”. Would that count as proper business behavior?
You can inform someone the meeting is over if it’s in the office, but rude if you’re meeting in a café? There is a very thin line between business etiquettes and business pressure I suppose!

I have been meeting interesting people, there is a mentally challenged person who pops everyday and asks me my name and if I’m married or single. The stalker in progress has followed my friend to her car the other day, even though I think he’s harmless.

Still trying to figure out what to do for New Years, Beirut, Goa, Bahrain or Stay Home?

Tempted to cut my hair but instead I darkened it!

Very slowly reading SABIRIYA: Damascus Bitter Sweet by Ulfat Idilbi
(Since it’s a quick read, I wanted to finish it to go back to reading Maaluf but I haven’t gotten into it yet)




Managed to watch a few movies and here is my 2 rupees
Snatch: Yup..I iz a late boomer…I enjoyed it though can’t pinpoint exactly what it is that appealed to me the most, well except for ‘Zi Germans’ Lines. Freckles has downloaded it for me to use as phone ring.
Just Friends: Some parts were funny, the rest was all weird. Why do they try too hard these days? Besides, the Before & After movies are so juvenile! Is it so much to ask for Substance?
BORAT: emmm the most graphic and offensive movie of the year. Funny? Sometimes but most of all revolting. I truly am disappointed in Sacha, how could he allow such a full character like Borat to be on the same level as JackAss or Tom Green. Overkill and over hyped.
Yes, we saw your movie and we hope you Execute too. Chinqui?
CLICK: ra7at 3alaik ya bu Walken! Too bad man and Adam Sandler, go do another one of your pissed off movies with that constipated look of yours instead and let the big boys do their thang..
5Fingers: Mr. Rick James once said ‘What did the 5 fingers say to the face’?
Answer: ‘SLAPPPPPPPP’ which is what the producers deserve for financing this movie.
Black Dahlia. 2 words ‘NICE COSTUMES’

This post made my massage effect ware off, oh well..back to verk!

Dear lord above us; save thy soul before me from turning into a grind menial workhorse.

Ohhh daahling.. I know what it's like.. what you're going through. I can read between your lines though; you're just like me. The work is too much, everyone around you tells you you work too hard, they tell you to take a break, you know you're close to your breaking point- but that doesn't stop you from loving every bloody second of it..

workaholics fo life G ;)
