Woke up this morning to the sound of slobbering. Turns out to be my dog Judo – with all near-30 kilos of him firmly planted on my chest. It was then that I realised that it wasn’t just the *sound* of slobbering – it was the feel of it too! The mutt was licking my face with abandon! Yetch!

BTW – I just remembered – on January 7th, it was 7 months since I stopped smoking. Not touched a single coffin nail since June 7th 2001. Never thought I’d be able to do it. Now, when I smell smoke from someone else’s cigarette, I wonder how I ever smoked to begin with!

If you are planning to quit yourself and use a PalmOS based handheld, then try PuffFree to keep track – it helped me a lot!

Tried to get a pass for the gig at MCC on Sunday – no go. You have to have a student pass, and with my waistline, I don’t think I’d be able to fake it

Despite the assurances from FabMart, no sign of my VCD conversion card If they don’t deliver today, this weekend is a total washout.

Tomorrow morning, we begin clearing up the garage in preparation for next week’s creation of my den/studio. Once things start taking shape, I will post up plans and pictures.

Update 08:50PM: FabMart finally delivered the card. The weekend is saved!

Vaibhav and Sony walked in – when I see those two together in the evening, I automatically think “Chicken Kababs”, so guess what we had for dinner?
