With the new hdd in place in the laptop I have a huge amount of space for all the music........been listening to a lotta soundtracks.......burned some cd's and play them quite often in the gaadi........have you heard the Pulp Fiction soundtrack????....I think the soundtracks of QT films are really awesome......ekdam eclectic collection........recently got ther Jackie Brown soundtrack...should give that a try now...but i think i'd rather watch the movie before that.....coming back to the Pulp Fiction soundtrack......the songs most popular are Jungle Boogie, Girl You'll be a Woman soon, Son of a Preacher Man......but apna favorite is Flowers on the Wall by The Statler Brothers.....really nice melody and I love the tinge of sarcasm in the lyrics....:)

Flowers on the Wall

I keep hearin' you're concerned about my happiness
But all that thought you're givin' me is conscience I guess
If I was walkin' in your shoes, I wouldn't worry none
While you 'n' your friends are worried about me I'm havin' lots of fun

Countin' flowers on the wall
That don't bother me at all
Playin' solitaire till dawn with a deck of fifty-one
Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me I've nothin' to do

Last night I dressed in tails, pretended I was on the town
As long as I can dream it's hard to slow this swinger down
So please don't give a thought to me, I'm really doin' fine
You can always find me here, I'm havin' quite a time

Countin' flowers on the wall
That don't bother me at all
Playin' solitaire till dawn with a deck of fifty-one
Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me I've nothin' to do

It's good to see you, I must go, I know I look a fright
Anyway my eyes are not accustomed to this light
And my shoes are not accustomed to this hard concrete
So I must go back to my room and make my day complete

Countin' flowers on the wall
That don't bother me at all
Playin' solitaire till dawn with a deck of fifty-one
Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me I've nothin' to do

Don't tell me I've nothin' to do

Here we go Brownies, here we go!!!!......Woof Woof!!!!.........

The Browns win on sunday made up for the Ohio State loss on Saturday.......

Riding the bike to work at 8.00 in the mornin with the outside temperature at about 45 F is probably the best way to be ekdam fresh....sala coffee bhi nahi mangta.....but then I had it out of habit...:)...been riding the bike a bit in the fall weather and its absolutely awesome to feel the cold draft....to make it even better....ride around in shorts......as someone at work remarked after seeing me ride into work..." You actually like doing this"...and when i replied in the affirmative......she goes.." You seem to be getting wierder day by day"....such compliments early in the morning just set the tone for the weekend that went by.......I think I am gonna take full advantage of the bike till there is no frost.....

Im off to columbus for a day to attend an exposition......laters
