I leave the US of A on Monday night.
In the last one and a half months, I have –
- been part of a team that’s delivered a feature-complete product a day ahead of deadline.
- seen my first Monet, Titian, Manet, El Greco and Gainsborough. And these were names I remembered off the top of my head.
- visited my first comicbook shops.
- bought out full runs of comics and manga and exceeded my weight limit by 20 kilos.
- been to my first Comic book convention. Woo Hoo!
- indulged in Major Comic art acquisitions, 32 in all.
- managed to buy Perfect Gifts.
- visited 5-level used record/CD/DVD outlets, each of which made me want to sit in a corner and whimper to myself.
- held original first printings of the first three Dark Tower books in my hands, caressed them for about twenty minutes, put them back gently in their display cases and cried on the way out.
- eaten The Crappiest Biryani Evah, and priced at 8.99$ to boot.
- had surprise packages mailed to me from Spain.
- become part-time Web Elf for the coolest Electronic Dance Music site ever.
- not had the time to write about all these. Mostly because of point (1), but that will soon be remedied.
Monet, Titian, Manet, El Greco and Gainsborough. Fuck!
Ditto.
ditto too
Lots more. Thanks to Sasi taking me to the Getty museum, LA. :-)
Please to check your mail. Need help!

NO! How much? You could’ve got “The Gunslinger” at the very least, no?
Hmm, let me see, The Gunslinger was 175$, The Drawing of the Three was 125$ and The Wastelands was 75$. And these prices after discount ( and I thought they were quite cheap, for the condition they were in). My money was already pledged to other Art-ifacts. :-)
Perfect gifts, indeed! :D Don Rosa… *muaaah* :D
Heh heh heh.
After coming to the US, I have stopped eating biryani :(
You know the first place I will take you to when you are back in India, right?
Re: You forget that you met up with me!
Was great meeting you too, and I will definitely try and come back. :-)
Which part of the country are you coming to?
Hmm. Get my stuff. *pleads*
