In the land of hedonism and of unimaginable excesses, I am trying to live life like a native, albeit a poor one without a car, who uses public transport to get to work.
Transport notwithstanding, I am able to ensure that I live well enough and dine where I want to and drink where I want to, and shop for whatever it is that I want without thinking twice about it. No parsimonious Desi fundaes there, for a B1 visa only gives you so much DA!
Among the various things I have slated in the coming days are a basketball game - Portland Trailblazers v/s Seattle Supersonics on friday the 22nd and a Lifehouse concert on Monday the 25th, both of which I am really looking forward to.
I must confess however that I haven't really listened to too much of Lifehouse, except for 'hanging by a moment' from their debut album, which I have heard enough number of times to have the lyrics memorized, and hence I wanted to download their stuff, load it on my faithful iPod and atleast increase my familiarity with their music.
Turns out, I have heard more of their stuff than I imagined, and I am just in their first album, and there is a track named 'Breathing', which I really liked but couldn't ID when I had heard it before. Pleasant surprise ensued!
There's been major adventures that have happened, but somehow blogging enthu seems to have hit an all-time low, at the worst possible time. But after a week of se(a)ttling in, I think I should be good to go!
