It's getting cold!

Winter is starting to show up. It's getting cold during the nights and it wont be long before the days become foggy. The past week hasn't been very good for me. I was severely ill for, err... let's say 10 hours. A couple of vomits and it was back to normalcy. I've just installed a new widget to my sidebar. If you haven't noticed..try scrolling down a bit. Nothing much is going on. Another busy week is in store for me. With two tests in the next 3 days. Hope i do well in those.

Later!

Late Update

It's been quiet some time now, since my last post. It was a very sad period of time for me. Not, that I'm not placed yet, but, I should admit that it is also adding to the misery. There are a few things that kept me away from blogging. Firstly, the previous theme that I installed hadn't looked sharp. There were huge spaces between components. The sidebars were narrow and I didn't really feel like looking at my blog.

Also, my graphic card has blown up. That sounds too dramatic, right? OK, it was only a few capacitors that have exploded. It was a gradual process. More than a month ago, I heard a sound. I could compare it to an electric discharge but, I could not trace where it had originated from. A couple of days before the graphic card gave away, there was the second 'blast'. I knew that it was coming from inside the room. But, to feel safe, I've assumed that the fuse of the water cooler was destroyed. And finally, it's D-day. The third explosion rocked my room at 10'o clock. I was a bit nervous, but, didn't care much. That evening, when I started Football Manager 2009, the screen began to show huge pixels. I restarted the game and the problem persisted. Then, I began to realize that it was my graphic card. It was acting as the center of terrorist activity. Soon, I couldn't even view the desktop and I had to remove the card.

I had to reboot my Windows but, as soon I thought that my computer was up and running again, a dangerous virus has caused even more problems. I had to do the same thing again. It was literally 4 days, without a proper computer. Now, its all fine again and thanks to NOD32 Anti-virus for doing a commendable job in keeping my computer clean. There were the small matters of tests, assignments and projects also. I fared well in the last week of fantasy football manager, notching up 80 points(my personal best). All hail Cesc Fabregas. I thought that it would be good to have a Mini League for Bitsians within the game, but I'm not sure how many people play the game. Maybe, next time...for the Class of 2010.   :)



We've started playing 5 on 5 football quite frequently now and I'm really enjoying it. I know that all the others are too. If you want to join us, just come to Bhag QT everyday after 10 pm. There is no football on TV this weekend. It is due to the international break for World Cup Qualifying. So, I'm bored to death. Last week, Cesc Fabregas and Co. blasted Blackburn all over the park finishing with 6 goals. Vermaelen's goal was the best for me, though I'm also impressed by Bendtner's howler and Fabregas's well placed half volley. I don't know for sure...how long Vermaelen will continue to score but, I'm confident that he has proved himself to be a very good signing. He is the joint top scorer for Arsenal along with Cesc Fabregas (4 goals). Both the Manchester clubs were held to draws over the weekend. Chelsea is setting the pace for the rest of the teams by defeating Liverpool 2-0.

Today is my brother's birth day and I wish him a happy Birthday. Hope he has a good year in front of him, because it is going to be crucial for him.

I will write again! Till then, good night!
