oh oh oh

Middle of the week. Cooking quails. i have never tasted quails before. i guess it would taste like chicken or maybe better. Will find out before the night ends.

Today was the last game of the league. And we lost in the last inning, yet again. It is becoming an irritating habit - losing, i mean. i cheered so much - shouted my lungs out that some of the guys in the opposing team were so amused. One of my team mates told me he wanted to win it for us because of the cheering! Maybe i should have been a cheerleader. The tournament is next saturday. i am all geared.

i baked a cheese butter pound cake yesterday. It turned out delicious. i am going to try making meat loaf next time.

i have started cycling. After about 10 years. It is fun. But i am still not ready to ride on the road next to those big bad cars. So i ride on the sidewalk. We are planning to go visit everyone riding bikes. Wouldn't that be fun?

We went downtown on saturday. Gypsy's day out. It turned out to be quite an adventure. We were to take the train to downtown and we missed it. It left the station just as we drove in. So we decided to take the bus rather than wait another hour for the next train. Since we never travel by bus, we didn't know which bus to take. So we boarded the first one that was destined for downtown. It turned out to be the kind that stops at every other street. And it took us all of two hours to reach downtown. Then we took the cable car, for which we had to stand in the queue for about half an hour. Then we hired one of the fishing-boat-turned-cruise boat which, so very conveniently for us, seated six. So there we were, six Indians playing tourists. The ride was manificient. It took us around Alcatraz and under the golden bridge.

i have to start shopping for going home. i haven't even composed my shopping list. i loathe shopping but do i even have a choice? Of course, i do. i always have a choice.

Did manage to finally turn the last page of "The Bourne Supremacy". It was good. i started Scott Turow's "Law of our fathers". But he disappointed me. The first few pages were enough to make me blench.
