I simply don't get people who have a penchant for stating the obvious.

"Oh, you're here!"

How do you want me to react to that? Surprise? Shock? Relief? "Oh, thank goodness! I was under the impression I was somewhere else!"

I just remembered these guys today.



I think I'm in love all over again.

I simply cannot take a paper or a presentation seriously if it's entirely in Comic Sans MS.

Seriously.

I don't care if it's supposed to be "child-friendly" or if you've changed font colours to red, green and blue in the middle to highlight certain terms.

Comic Sans MS is not even good for COMICS. It's certainly not good enough for an academic presentation.

Now that I've "upgraded" my Blogger account, my Gmail account seems to control everything. If I sign out of Gmail, I'm signed out of Orkut and Blogger as well. Yet signing into one doesn't necessary entail automatic access to the others. It just strikes me as a little odd that Google, which tried so hard to justify the creation of Gmail as being linked somehow to their search functionality, is now acquiring an increasing number of services that are of genuinely no consequence to their lives as a search engine business.

Does no-one else detect some serious mission creep?

Occasionally I wonder whether my opinion of the movies I watch is compromised by even a vague knowledge of their contents. Is it better to begin a movie knowing nothing more than its title? Does that somehow allow the scriptwriter and the director to take me down every twist and turn with the full extent of the intended surprise?

Or would I just end up watching a lot of bad movies?

It's a strange, strange day when you open Google Talk and realise that the only people online are your exes.

*sigh*

Subject line of one of the many spam e-mails I deleted today:

"Esthetic Brainwashing"


My Bulk folder is the source of endless amusement.

When I sign out of this thing, it insists on signing me in with my Gmail account (which, by the way, I use basically to chat with the likes of Snake Anthony, more than for any actual e-mail). If I sign out of the damned thing in order to post, it signs me out of Gmail as well. Thank heavens I had the brains to use my Gmail ID for Orkut instead of my other Google account, or this madness would be happening there as well.

My dislike of Blogspot continues.

Is this thing on?
