my bangs

so, I have a bit of a dilemma. I'm thinking of getting a trim in a couple of days and I don't know if I should get the fringe again or just keep my bangs to the side...

HAHAHA did you really I think I was shallow enough to dedicate an entire post to the length of my bangs? That'd be pretty funny.


Did you notice all the fun music? LOL, I just read Naveen's post on my FB Wall saying she listened to Akon today, so the world must be ending. I knew you'd all appreciate such eloquent lyrics like, "I see you in the club, you showing thugs love, I wanna get with you" and of course, "I'll be your baby father"

I really hope he isn't though, because that'd be one creepy looking baby, but that's not the point.

Since I don't really have a life and all I seem to be doing these days is reading; I thought I'd post up my thoughts on Benazir's autobiography and that Zia-ul-Haq book, Exploding Case of Mangoes, just because I know you care :]

I might add though, that I had all 3 books (the latter 2 and the Musharraf book) in my purse for the flight, and when the woman checking my bag saw all those books, she proceeded to ask me if I was 'doing an MA in politics'

Jeez. This is what I get for being INTERESTED in the state of my country. God.

Anyway, the Zia-ul-Haq book was actually v. funny, especially because the author seemed to be really obsessed with Zia's mustache and its 'dancing'. I'm sure that had some symbolic meaning or whatever, but it was a 16 hour flight for crying out loud and I was like, 30000 feet in the air. So not the time for an analysis.

Also, not to give anything away or anything, but near the end of the book, there's some ahem, gay love action going on, and I mean, it's not like I'm against gay people or anything (as you all very well know) but it was REALLY unneccesary in terms of the plot. And also kind of weird to read when there's a Pakistani businessman sitting next to you trying not to look like he's reading over your shoulder.

The Benazir book was, as predicted, all 'ohh look I got arrested! I loved my country! VOTE FOR ME!' but the way she described ZA Bhutto (Sr.)'s trial WAS really sad. I kinda wanted to give him a hug. Not her though.

Another thing that kinda made me mad was, DID SHE REALLY NOT DATE ANYONE WHILE SHE WAS AT HARVARD AND OXFORD? And does she really expect us to believe she was SINGLE THROUGHOUT? I mean come on! You're telling me she never had a fling with Imran Khan? Or like, any of the other single guys at either uni? As if.

Even MUSHARRAF talked about his ex girlfriends. I like honesty in a book. Hmmph.

bear with me here

so you know how when you buy a new toy, all you want to do is play with it constantly and just, you know, not leave it for a little while? Well, that's me and this blog right now (the main difference only being that I did not purchase this blog, thank God, or this idea might not have gotten off the ground...not the point right now)

my point is, you're gonna have to bear with me and my frequent posting for awhile. I will eventually calm down. Hopefully.

I just finished Musharraf's autobiography and I have to ask, why do we all rag on him so much? He's pretty chill! I mean, okay, I will concede that he tends to sound a bit full of himself at various points but STILL! He's so cool and all army army!

I will admit though, the army terms totally flew over my head. What's higher? A general, major or lieutenant (which I can't even spell. Obviously a career in the army is out for me)

the book itself WAS pretty cool, especially when he talks about how they captured all those terrorists currently hiding out in the borders...which also made me wonder...what exactly do they DO when they're hiding? Catch up on their TV? Read up on all those articles talking about how evil they are? Praying that they don't get caught?

sorry, I digress. I also like how Musharraf totally supported NAPA (National Academy of Performing Arts), because it is totally awesome. Back in Pakistan, I read somewhere that they were planning on shutting down (the government that is) and I really hope they don't, because NAPA is one of the main reasons that theater is still alive in Pakistan, or Karachi at least.

I'm not even going to start on the current government, because considering what happened last time Naveen and I talked about them, it's better that I resist. Don't worry Zardari, you and your supposedly 3-lakh costing glasses are pretty cool.

Well, not the glasses. And you.


I just made this: http://www.couponfu.com/lb/generate/?c=202-758-208_myra_slave_coupon

I was so inspired by Aziza's wonderful blog that I decided to start one of my own...except there's one problem:


I have nothing to write. That's mainly because I have no real life so really, you can't blame for my lack of inspiration but anyway. The only thing actually going on with me is finals...which were truly horrible. To make myself feel better, I composed a little haiku (just to prove to myself I really am learning stuff here)

my finals went bad
Anatomy makes me very mad
I want to play tetris.

oh, and I promised Naveen I would mention her so HERE! Yay.
